Benito and I were both chewing on a piece of bacon, when my phone vibrated in my clutch. Curious, I pulled it out and looked at the screen. I almost choked on the bacon, when I read the message. Jenny had sent me a screenshot of a picture Nicky had posted. It was the same exact picture that he had taken only a couple of hours prior at the club. Quickly I pressed the home button of my phone and clicked on the Instagram symbol. He had even tagged Benito and me.

"Benito, we have a problem." I started. "What?" he asked confused, cleaning his mouth with a napkin. Chewing on my lip, I showed him Nicky's post. "Dios mío, eso no es bueno." he mumbled, staring blankly at the screen of my phone. "MTV, billboard and E! already wrote articles about it, holy crap!" I said, when I had googled mine and Benito's name together. "My fans are going crazy in the comments." he commented, looking at his phone that he had meanwhile pulled out. "Yeah, so are mine." I replied, scrolling through my newsfeed. "We have to make clear that it was just a lie for that night." Benito stated, locking his phone. I thought about that for a few moments, then an idea popped up in my head. If I had a fake boyfriend for the media, the questions would stop. My parents would shut up about me not finding a man and it would mean publicity for the both of us. "Or... we could make everyone believe that it's real." I slowly suggested, putting my phone down. "What?" he asked confused. "Aren't you tired of interviewers asking you about your love life? Or girls trying to hit on you?" I counter questioned. He slowly nodded and that told me that I had his attention. "Think about it, Benito. If we had a public relationship, they would stop asking, you would get rid of the girls and we would both get a lot of publicity." I explained, leaning forward. "I don't know, I mean we met today and they gonna ask how we met, why we hadn't been seen out and stuff like that." he replied with a thoughtful look on his face. "It sounds crazy, but if we say we kept it secret for as long as possible and Nicky accidentally leaked it." I gave an explanation. "Alright, but if we wanna do this, we need rules." he said after a couple of minutes of silence. "Rules?" I questioned, chuckling. "Yeah. Rule number one: only Nicky, Maluma and José are allowed to know about it." he told me. "Everything okay?" the waitress interrupted us. "Uh, could we have two milkshakes and a pen, please?" I answered. She nodded, took the order and walked back to the counter. "What do you need a pen for?" Benito wanted to know confused. "Need to write down the rules, I'm not good at remembering things like that." I explained. "You're an actress. That's basically your job." he stated, laughing a little. "That's different, going over lines is way more fun than learning rules by heart." I explained, smiling at him. As soon as the waitress came back with our milkshakes, I leaned back in the booth. She placed the shakes and the pen in front of us. I thanked her and then grabbed it and one of the napkins on the table. Immediately, I wrote the first rule down. "Okay, rule number two: at least one post a week." I then said, looking up from the napkin. Benito looked at me with a raised eyebrow; he obviously didn't agree. "Let's say two picture posts a week and as many story posts as we want to." he suggested. "Two in a week? Isn't that a little too much?" I questioned carefully. "You might be right." he then said, after thinking about it for a few seconds, so I wrote the rule down. "Rule number three: I call you Hermosa and you call me Conejo." Benito suggested, before he took a sip from his milkshake. Nodding, I also wrote that down. "Rule number four: we do interviews together, we attend events together and go on public dates." he then continued. It looked like he started to like the idea. "The last rule: no feelings." I then added. The only thing that was dangerous for us, were feelings and it needed to be clear that this was just business. "Sounds fine by me." Benito said, flashing me a smile. I put my signature underneath the rules, placed the pen on the napkin and then shoved it over to him. He also signed it, then raised his milkshake. "To a long and happy relationship!" he spoke out a toast before clinking glasses with me. "Oh, before I forget about it. As my boyfriend it'd be helpful for you to have my number, don't you think?" I said, after we had both taken a sip. "So, we have to confirm it, I guess." he mumbled. "Yeah, who's gonna post the first picture?" I asked a little unsure. "I will, I mean, I got us into this in the first place." he answered, shrugging. I nodded and waited for him to sit down next to me. "Hold on, let's make a story post, too." he suggested, before opening the front camera of his phone. I placed a long kiss on his cheek, while he stuck out his tongue. Curiously, I looked over his shoulder, when he wrote the caption. "SuPoNgO yA nO pOdEmOs OcUlTaRlO ❤️" it said and he tagged me in it. Then he sat back down opposite of me. "Drink, I'll film you for my story, okay?" he said, slowly. Smiling, I got in position, put the straw between my lips and gave him a thumbs up to signalize him that he could start. I was looking down at the shake, when he said something. "Hermosa?" I heard his voice. Slowly, I looked up, let go of the straw and smiled at the camera. "Te quiero." Benito told me, while I rested my head on my hand. "I love you, too." I answered, giggling as naturally as possible. It felt a little weird to say those words, but then again, I was an actress and it was just like any other role. A few seconds later, I got a notification that he had mentioned me in his story. I decided to repost it to make it look real enough.
