Gaby Espino collapsed into loveseat in front of big plasma TV in her living room in her Miami penthouse.
Jencarlos Canela on the screen murmured: “no, no, no”, desperately.
Just months ago Gaby called from Columbia. Jencarlos picked up almost immediately, impatiently.
“Hallo?”
“Hallo, Jencarlos. It`s me… Gaby.”
Clear smile in his voice.
“Gaby?”
Silence. Gaby just doesn`t know what to say, how to say. She feels like she has been leading him on all this time, giving him hopes, that finally she will make this last move and get a divorce. But now she is calling to shatter those hopes into pieces.
Whimper escapes on the exhale.
“What has happened? Gaby, are you alright?”
Deep intake of breath.
“I`m getting back with Cristobal…”
“When, Gaby…”
“Yesterday…”
“No! No, no, no… Don`t. Please, just… Gaby… It didn`t work, it won`t… Please, Gaby, you know it won`t… Just… Please, don`t do it…” She doesn`t have to see him to know he has tears in those beautiful eyes.
“I`m sorry, Jencarlos… I have to try. For Oriana, for our marriage, for what we had… God, I`m so sorry… I hope you can forgive me someday…”
“Gaby, please…”
“Goodbye, Jencarlos…”
After seeing the beginning of the video Gaby has no doubt that this song is about her, for her. After all he never hid his love for her. He was ready to scream about it from the rooftops even though she never answered him the same way. There were so many things against them. He`s eleven years younger, very young, gaining popularity so fast. Gaby never truly trusted in his love for her. After all first love rarely lasts for the eternity. Gaby had a crisis in her marriage but she still would never cheat on her husband. Jencarlos was always there for her, standing by her side, never pushing, just waiting patiently, never doing anything against Gaby`s will. And Gaby let herself to be washed over with this sincere friendship and naïve love, always deep down there believing that Jencarlos will soon start dating young girls, changing them regularly, enjoying his freedom and youth. And she would have been happy for him and happy by herself because she trusted him enough to know that he will always be her friend. It was just easier to pretend that all those kisses, touches, flirting – it all was just promotion, it was just Angel and Manuela`s epic love. Not Jencarlos and Gaby`s. And when Cristobal begged to give them a second chance she agreed. But of course Cristobal wasn`t blind. Everyone in the whole world could see how much in love Jencarlos was, how much he adored Gaby. Cristobal made her promise that she will end all the connections with Jencarlos. And Gaby kept her promise. It was for the better. She was sure that Jencarlos soon will forget her; start dating and maybe Gaby can save her marriage and after some time they can be friends again, all that whirlwind of confusing emotions born on the set of Mas Sabe el Diablo long forgotten.
But it never happened like that. She just couldn`t be happy with Cristobal anymore. Gaby will always love him but spark was gone, feelings have changed, they had changed. Formalities didn`t take that long and one day they were officially divorced. Gaby made this information public the next day. And maybe she waited and hoped to hear from Jencarlos but she never did. For the first time since long time she looked up the news about him on the internet. She found paparazzi photos with some unknown girl but mostly there was just information about his new telenovela, concerts, and some interviews. He was clearly busy. Gaby didn`t know what to do, how to react. And know just a few days later Telemundo was premiering video for Jencarlos` latest single Mi Corazon Insiste. And Gaby felt all the air leaving her lungs, her heart pounding so hard and so loud. Was he really saying he still loved her?
Yes, she had heard the song on the radio many times before but she never even in her maddest dreams dared to dream that it could be about her. But know she just knew it, felt it.
He was still so handsome, yet sensual. And she suddenly knew, suddenly understood how much really he meant for her, how much she had been missing him. How much she loved him. And then she was freaking out for almost three weeks. She couldn`t sleep the night before his Birthday. She got up really early and wrote about his Birthday on twitter. A bit later she finally got enough courage to wish him happy birthday. Seemed like an eternity later he answered. He called her “my life” and expressed his happiness about her remembering his Birthday and sending him good wishes. He sent her a kiss. Just a virtual kiss, that made her heart skip a beat.
She got the right combination of numbers on her iPhone.
“Hello?”
Jencarlos sounded shocked.
“Hi. It`s me… Gaby.”
“Gaby…”
There was clear smile in his voice.
“Jencarlos…”
She whispered smiling back.
And at this moment she knew where her happiness was and with whom it was.
They didn`t say much. He seemed guarded and she understood that she has to prove herself to him.
For the first time she made and exclusive interview where she finally said the truth about her feelings towards Jencarlos Canela.
He called the next day and they talked for almost an hour. He was out of city but she knew he`ll be back for the Billboard Latin ceremony. She refused to tell him what color her dress will be. He said he couldn`t wait to see her.
On the morning of Billboard`s Gaby tweeted good luck to Jencarlos and said that he was the best. And he tweeted her back the happiest tweet ever.
As he promised they met on Billboard`s. Jencarlos had always known that Gaby Espino is the most beautiful lady in the universe. And tonight she was lady in red. He fell in love with her all over again. He just couldn`t stop staring at her even when Pitt Bull who was sitting next to him won the airplay award. Because of the organization problems Gaby had to present the award alone and say all the information alone and for the first time without any time to get ready or to practice. Still she was amazing like usual. When they met backstage he could finally touch her, hug her, and feel her next to him.
“God, you`ll never know how much I missed you…”
He whispered.
“You wrote a song for me.”
She whispered back.
“Will you let me love you at last?”
He had to know, he had to be sure.
“I`ll let myself love you at last.”
She answered.
When they finally got to her penthouse it was an early morning and they were hallway drunk and asleep. He unzipped her dress, she unbuttoned his shirt. They left the underwear on and cuddled in the king sized bed. He woke her up with a kiss only after two hours of lying awake and just looking at her and guarding her peaceful sleep. She smiled, her eyes still closed, hair all messed up, stains of make-up all over her mouth and around her eyes.
Jencarlos pecked Gaby`s forehead tenderly and whispered:
“I love you.”
They made love for the first time in bed. Then repeated it in a shower; soon after that in kitchen. They were hungry.
They fell asleep in each other`s arms finally feeling safe and home. The next day business obligations and life took them apart but now they weren`t scared anymore. Because finally they were letting themselves to love each other and they trusted this love enough to know that it will always get them back into each other arms.
The next day Gaby wrote on her twitter account:
“Happyyyyyyyyy.”
Jencarlos Canela on the screen murmured: “no, no, no”, desperately.
