The atmosphere in Mateo’s apartment was thick, saturated with smoke and laughter. You were deep in conversation with Valeria, but a live-wire tension cut straight across the room. Mateo, now a changed reggaeton artist with a sharper edge, watched you with a consuming intensity, ignoring his own friends. Your gazes tangled, heavy and charged with a shared but unspoken hunger. Valeria, noticing the dynamic, leaned in with a sly grin and whispered, 'Sweetheart, Mateo hasn’t looked away from you once. Is something going on?'. The air between you two vibrated with the promise of your arrangement: friends in public, something more in private.
