Dear María

“María” Jack shook me slightly.
“Sleeping” I turned around and held the pillow on top of my face.
“Maariii, baby, I have a surprise” I could feel a smirk on his lips.
“And I want to sleep” I yawned and put a pillow on my face.
I heard him sigh before moving closer to me. He kissed my arms over the pillow, then went down to my elbows, my stomach and went back up to where my face was supposed to be and removed the pillow from my face to kiss my forehead and then my lips. I wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him closer, a smile forming on my lips as he placed a hand on the back of my neck and under my shoulder blades.
He pulled away just as I started to deepen the kiss, making me pout.
“As much as I want to kiss you, you need to get up” he whispered in my ear.
I groaned, being completely ignored by Jack, as he helped me up and carried me bridal style to the kitchen.
“Look who’s up!” Jack cheered when he put me down on my feet.
“Morning, blondie!” Alex joked, ruffling my hair.
I just groaned again and tried to fix it as I walked to the fridge and decided what to eat. I heard a few chuckles behind me, but I ignored it. I finally decided to have cereals and an apple.
I sat on the isle as I ate my breakfast, Jack’s arms being wrapped around my waist loosely from behind.
“Was I the only person sleeping?” I asked after swallowing.
Jack chuckled before answering, “Maybe” he smiled, resting his head on my shoulder.
I saw Alex pointing at us with his mobile phone from the corner of my eye.
“Alex, put that thing down” I leaned on Jack.
“Oh, come on!” he shouted, smirking, “Jack wasn’t even that cuddly when we were together” he winked at Jack.
“You just confirmed Jalex” I muttered with a smirk.
“Fuck off, Alex” Jack mumbled against my neck.
I laughed.
“Why? I’m sure she has had lots of fun with a girl too” Alex smirked in my direction, “Am I wrong?”
“Nope” I popped the ‘p’. Jack pulled away and shot me a glare.
“Nope?” he repeated, “You mean you’ve had fun with girls in the past?” his eyes seemed to darken a bit, "You didn’t tell me that” he smirked.
“Because the topic didn’t come up” I shrugged.
“Ooh, and who was that girl? I’m sure you remember her” Alex teased.
“Well…” a wave of emotions buried me right then, remembering said girl, and I didn’t know if I was going to cry or laugh, “You could say we were like a female version of you guys, to be honest” I smirked to myself, “She was my neighbor, best friend, sister… everything. We pissed off older guys, learnt to swear together, we experimented a bit when we were older with our bodies also…” I heard Alex awe and saw Jack fighting a smirk, “We had lots of plans for the future, actually. We wanted to move to England and say for a few years until we caught an accent, then we decided to move to Maryland because we thought it was hilarious there was a state in America with our proper ‘english’ name in it. We moved together to Bristol and once she moved in with her boyfriend I never saw her again…” I trailed off.
“What’s her name?” Alex asked with a soft smile.
“Maria” I smirked, “Her father called us ‘Brunette Mari’ and ‘Blonde Mari’” I chuckled.
“Wait, is that girl you did a video with a few years ago? That girl you just looked like some tattooed porn model?” Jack asked.
“The one and only” I smiled.
“Jeez, you have hot friends” Alex winked at me, “You should present Zack some, poor guy’s been lonely lately…” he started.
I laughed and leaned on Jack again, who put his hands on my waist and pulled me closer.
“Look who’s cuddly now” I smiled.
Jack seemed to snap out of his cute cuddly state and pulled away, “True, I have a surprise for you!” he exclaimed.
I frowned, “Jack, I don’t-“
“Oh, come on, Mari” Alex cut me off, “You’ll like your surprise”
“Ugh, alright” I gave in, “Do I have to change my clothes?” I asked. Jack nodded and I headed to the bunks to pick up an outfit.
I did my makeup and, once I looked presentable, I headed to the living room area. Jack was on his phone, just like Alex.
When I walked up to Jack, he looked up with a smile and stood up, planting a soft kiss on my lips when we were standing in front of each other.
“You look beautiful” he whispered.
“You’re so sappy” I pecked the tip of his nose, “Let’s get going, you guys have a show in a few minutes”
“Alright, but just so you know, I love you and I hope you have a really nice day” he ‘warned’ me before stepping out of the bus.
As soon as my feet touched the ground, I was pulled into a bear hug from one side, Jack let go of my hand and a figure dragged me a few meters further.
“MARIIIIIIIII” the voice screamed.
Ruben.
“Ruben” I said happily, “Long time no see” I hugged back.
“Long time no see? More like no time no contact” he scoffed.
“Sorry?” I smiled.
“You better be” he threatened before walking back to where Jack was standing and giving him a bro hug/hand shake or whatever, “Hey, man”
“Nice to see you again, Ruben” he greeted. “I’ll leave you two have a nice day, I’m going onstage” he kissed my forehead and, with a smirk, he ran to the stage the guys were playing.
“So… you’re my surprise, I guess?” I smiled at Ruben.
“Surprise!” he laughed, “We better get going, Mangel and Alexby are waiting, although…” he looked at me.
“What?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Put on this” he searched for something in his bag before throwing it to me. His own merch. Wow. What a loser.
I laughed. “You’re such a loser” I laughed, making him pout in a begging way, “You’re lucky I like Doge” I smirked before entering the bus and changing the T-shirts.
“Now” he nodded, once I jumped off the bus, “Let’s get going!” he shouted.

“Alexby, run! Run, Alexby, run!” I chanted before jumping on his back, catching him by surprise.
Ruben and I had walked from the venue to some street in Miami where we found Mangel and Alexby giving us their backs, so I just took a chance to scare the most innocent.
His knees failed and leaned on Mangel, creating some sort of domino effect and we three fell to the ground and laughed.
“Mussons! Wow, you’re taller since the last time I saw you!” Mangel joked.
“And heavier” Alexby groaned, making me chuckle.
“Sorry about that, Ale” I ruffled his hair and stood up.
He gave me a warning look before smiling, “Don’t worry, Mari” he smirked.
I shot him the same glare and caught Mangel already picking up his camera.
That only meant something.
They were either taking me to some dubstep music festival or they were gonna film vlogs, plus make me do some stupid dares. I pulled out my phone to quickly check my social sites when Ruben started talking.
“So, we’re here in Miami. We’re fucking sweating like pigs, except this missy I know you’ve all missed” he said the last part putting an arm around my shoulders, I saluted the camera with my hand, “And today, instead of spending our day in the dubstep music festival, we’re going to a Ubisoft meeting where we’ll play some games” his voice was raising by the second. Typical spanish.
Jesus, María, losen up.
“And” Ruben emphasized the ‘and’,”then we’re gonna go to do some dares from my new book D-“ A book?!
“You wrote a book?” I raised an eyebrow. He gave me a look and I couldn’t help but smile at his ‘Don’t interrumpt my fucking speech” glare, “Seriously? When? How?” I held back some chuckled.
“Yes, I wrote a book” he said sternly, making me chuckle at loud, “But it’s a dares book, it only contains 100% created-by-me dares” he said proudly.
“Fuck, I thought you did something helpful for once” I looked down to my phone again.
I looked up when I was met by silence.
He was watching me. Uh oh, bad sign.
“Take it back” he warned.
“What if I don’t?” I teased.
“Then…” Ruben bit his cheek to keep his angry look, “I think UST will take over this conversation” I mocked an expression of horror.
UST was basically Ruben acting like a retarded 3-year-old, bumping into stuff, screaming, squealing, and doing a stupid little dance with his fingers. Somehow, he managed to make ‘UST’ a real, different person to his followers, who knew UST was him, but still acted like UST was Ruben’s retarded brother or something.
Just when I was about to say something Ruben started to yell.
“Oh my god, you’re so hipster, oh shit. Just go to a Starbucks with a macintosh and buy a muffin, jesus christ” he gasped when some very hipster-looking group of teenagers walked past us. He, of course said it spanish, otherwise they would’ve slapped him. He was a bit of a hipster-racist, if you can say that.
The girls just gave him a questioning look and giggled. How innocent.
I shook my head with a smile.
“You have a problem with hipsters” I laughed.
“I-“ Mangel cut off his protest.
“Yes, he does” we smiled.
“Ha!” I pointed at him before he said anything.
The rest of the day continued like this even when we got to a big building with ‘Ubisoft’ written in the entrance. We played there several video games for a few hours with other people until midday and went for lunch. I got the chance Jack wasn’t around to try to skip lunch quite successfully.
We did stupid dares and used random people for them. We had lots of fun and it surprised me Jack hadn’t texted me once in all day. By the time we got back to the venue, I showered and fell fast asleep in Jack and I’s bunk, oblivious to what happened whilst I was having fun with some spanish idiots I loved with my heart and soul.

Notes

I don't even know what this is.
Ugh, sorry for not updating I've been recently getting all kinds of shitty stuff back to me and had to take a break for my mental state's sake. So sorry.
I'm thinking about deleting this fic or just finishing it as soon as possible as nobody seems to like it. I don't see anyone commenting, rating or anything and that's giving me the impression nobody likes this.
So yeah...
By the way, this is just for your interest, it's one of the real elrubiusomg videos. A chatroulette, in concrete. I think you should more or less understand it (I do not reccomend the subtitles at all) so yeah... Click here if you're interested in watching it.
