"I like Yandel better than Xander…."
Rachel finally got the courage to look at him after Ace had said that.
"He doesn't like my...fiancé,"Rachel said with a little pause before referring to the evil bastard as her fiancé.
"Well he didn't fail to mention it to me too," Yandel added, laughing a bit at the mean face the kid made when he referred to Xander.
"He also said he wished I was his brother-in-law too,"Yandel added with a confident smirk knowing it was going to evoke a reaction from Celi.
"He said that…!!" Rachel asked surprised and curious of what else he could have said to Baldwin.
"Yeah… We are kinda best friends now," Yandel said playfully, making her smile fondly at him, a sight he wished he could hold in a polaroid and look at it everyday.
"Have the police reached back to you?.because it will make a lot of sense to call them and get the search party ended" Yandel reminded Rachel as they drove back to the estate.
"Oh...that's true, when I get home I will do just that,hopefully before I take a shower and sleep,” Rachel said, starting to really feel the tiredness sipping in.
"How do you manage to look good and tired?" Yandel asked, looking so serious, Rachel didn't detect the flirt right away till he smiled. She couldn't help but blushed a little while looking away trying to get herself under control.
"I can't deal with you right now Baldwin, maybe some other time," Rachel said partly happy her face was no longer that warm.
"By the way,How come you never told much about yourself, I literally told you all you need to know about me" Rachel said stirring the convo towards another direction.
"Everything??..." Yandel asked with an eyebrow raise.
"Maybe not everything but you know what I mean,you know mostly everything about me, at least the basics,” Rachel said, rolling her eyes at his hesitation to open up.
"Alright, where do I start from...I am the first son of my family as you know, I have two other siblings, they are twins and they will be 20 soon, I hope you get to meet them. They are pretty wild, and i schooled in the UK hence my exotic accent and I love sushi and pasta, I hate pineapple, pizza and I actually don't like sports….oh and yeah I'm allergic to beans….I think that's pretty much it about myself, sorry I'm not really a fun to know person". He finished off looking at her expectantly as if expecting her to say something, anything.
"Well I'm not that fun to know, so I will say that's a fair trade to me".Rachel said with a little humor.
"So….what do you like and dislike?" Yandel asked while coming to a stop at the traffic stop.
"Generally or food wise?" Rachel asked.
"Generally," he said smiling a little, something about getting to know Celi kind of excited him and he had to say, she was different than the Aracelie he knew, the Araceli he knew couldn't hold a conversation to save her life and she will rather listen for hours on hours than talk the way she was doing now.
"Ok…" Rachel said, adjusting in her seat.
"I like generally a fun person with a strong personality, people who can stand for themselves, I dislike liars and cheats, food wise I like everything but seafood" Rachel finished looking at him.
An awkward silence reigned for a few seconds before they both burst into laughter simultaneously, after a few seconds they settled down forgetting Ace was at the back seat sleeping from the exhaustion of walking street by street looking for a lego cart shop that kept indicating the next street.
"You mean that's it?!!!" Yandel exclaimed.
"Yeah!!!....I told you I wasn't much to talk about personality wise" Rachel replied.
"Ohh you really meant it then I guess,'' Yandel said, a little disappointed, hoping to hear a little more about her than he did.
"Look who's sulking...I thought you couldn't stand me". Rachel said smirking at Yandel letting his guard down and letting his expression show.
"I'm not sulking...I jus…" Yandel said before he got interrupted by a sleepy and rather hungry looking ace.
"Araceli…." Ace whined stretching uncomfortably at the back seat while trying to get the seat belt off him only to get more twisted in the shambles of polyester straps, his looks soon turned frustrated when he realized that he couldn't get himself out of it, which made Araceli and Yandel giggle at him at the mess he had created and the way he had his hair all over the place.
