CHAPTER 8
"You didn't hear when we did the show? I asked the guys if they were single and JC said he wasn't and Justin said that there was a girl who had his heart and that he was just waiting for her." Carson replied. "Oh no. I can't believe this. I didn't think he still had feelings for me and that's why I'm here. Ah.. Lo siento Carson." Marisol said. "Come again. I didn't quite understand your last sentence." Carson said. "Oh, I said I was sorry. Sometimes I slip into a little Spanish. I'm sorry because I won't be able to go out on another date with you." Marisol said. "Its OK. I'm not really looking for a relationship right now anyway. Let's go and talk though, we'll be each others best friends and cry over our exes. "Carson said leaving a tip for their waitress and escorting Marisol out.

Malexi was sleeping peacefully when a knock on the door awoke her. She rubbed her eyes lazily and went to answer the door. She opened it to see a nervous Justin on the other side. "Hey Justin. What can I do for you?" Malexi asked. "Actually, I was looking for Marisol. Maybe I have the wrong room. I'll just check-" Justin started. "Nah, you have the right room. Merisel's not here though, but she'll be back in about 15 minutes. Come on in." Malexi said opening the door.
"So, Malexi can I ask you a question?" Justin asked. "Sure...ask away." She said taking a seat on the bed. "Did you know it was me in the club?"Justin asked nervously. "Well, I knew of you but I didn't realize that you were the guy in the club. I guess because of the lighting. That's probably why you thought I was Marisol." Malexi concluded. "Yeah, I guess you get confused a lot." Justin said. "Well, she's pretty big in San Francisco. Its partially because of the ice skating and partially because she's friends with everyone. You don't know how many times I've been asked for an autograph." Malexi stated.
"That's amazing. What about her love life? I mean." He asked trying to gesture with his hands. "You want to know if what she told you in Orlando was just something to give you hope." Malexi suggested. Justin nodded his head. "Well, you should know Marisol and know that she's a very genuine person. She's done exactly what she told you she would do. To tell you the truth, she's become stronger because of this." She replied. "What about Carson? I kind of heard them talking before." Justin said with a little guilt in his voice. "So now you're spying on me Justin?" Marisol asked coming in to the room. Malexi and Justin exchanged looks and Justin put his head in his hands.
