Chapter 5: Welcome Back

Carlos's Pov

When my eyes opened everything was a blur. A few moments passed before my vision cleared and what I saw shocked me: Prince Ben was leaning over at me and was smiling. Now I was confused, what was going on? Then I remembered what happened at the museum with the spindle and the sleeping curse. And I also remember what I saw before I went under, it was an image of Ben. Oh my god, Ben broke the curse! And that means...

"Carlos!"

I looked away from Ben and saw the beaming faces of my best friends. Ben moved away and they all jumped on the bed and pulled me into a hug. We all laughed and I pulled them in closer, so happy to be awake and see them again.

"Welcome back buddy!" Jay shouted in my ear and usually I would be annoyed by him doing this but I was too happy to care.

"I'm so glad to see you guys"

"Good because you aren't getting away from us that easily" Mal joked.

"I didn't want to get away from you at all!"

"Well at least you got a prince out of it" Evie giggled but then the room went silent. I looked back over at Ben and I could tell that he was trying to give us some privacy but right now I think it's Ben and I that need it.

"Can you guys give us some time? We have a lot to talk about" Mal and Jay looked to protest but Evie rolled her eyes and dragged them out.

"You know what this means" Ben stated, I could tell he knew the answer but still needed to say it out loud and I couldn't blame him.

"Yes I do and you do too. Is that okay?" That I had to ask him, just because it happened doesn't mean he's okay with the fact that it did happen. He got out of his chair and sat with me on the bed.

"If I wasn't okay with it I wouldn't do this" He leaned in and kissed me and I felt sparks. I leaned into it and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. We pulled away after a few seconds but we didn't pull apart. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we stayed like that, soaking everything in.

"How did you do it?"

"Don't be mad but I read your diary"

"Evie gave it to you didn't she?"

"Yes but don't be mad at her. She just wanted to have her best friend back"

"I'm not mad at her or you. I'm glad you did it or else this might have never happened" I told him truthfully.

"I couldn't have said it better myself" He told me.

"So what in my diary set all of this off"

"Honestly it was everything, especially your latest entry. Carlos the way you see me is the way I see you, you are me in another life. I know they say that people who are the same don't work but I know we can do it"

"What about everyone else? Your parents? Your friends?"

"My parents will understand and Mal, Evie, Jay and you are all the friends I need"

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Of course I'm sure. Now is that everything because I bet your friends are a few seconds away from breaking down the door" I laughed at that, especially because it was true, I could hear them outside the door.

"I'm good, we can talk more when you take me out on a date"

"Oh so you're just telling me?" Ben teased.

"Like you're going to say no. Okay guys you can come in!" I shouted the last and no sooner after I finished they came running in.

"So how are the new lovebirds?" Jay did the teasing this time but I didn't care, I had what I wanted.

"The lovebirds are doing just fine, would you like me to prove it?" Without waiting for an answer I grabbed Ben by the shoulders and pulled him in for our third kiss today. Catcalls and wolf whistles could be heard from my friends and that caused Ben to pull away and laugh and soon enough we all joined in.

Yesterday I thought I would never wake up, I thought I would never see my friends again, I thought that I would never get to know Ben. Today I woke up and saw my friends, today I woke up and saw Ben. Today I woke up and had everything I ever wanted.

I wouldn't have changed anything.
