I woke next to Natalie, she was up and sat in the chair she had in the corner, wrench in hand and messing with my legs. I got up, pushing myself with my arms and leaning against the bed board she had, 'Sleep well, Octavio?' She said, slightly blushing on her cheeks, I nodded and looked at my legs, she laughed and brought my legs to me, I attached them and stood up, shaking them and making sure they were locked.

I looked at Natalie, who was bright red and smiling at me, 'Are you alright Senorita?' I asked her, looking at the wall which the clock was on, 10:27, she looked at me and stayed silent for a while, I just looked at her. 'I just, I remember my first game, you were being your stupid self, running around the hill in King's Canyon, you threw your jump pad and I had to throw my interceptor because Bloodhound threw an arc star at you. I saved you then, I am still saving you now.' She giggled, I laughed with her. She had always looked out for me and I wanted to thank her in the best way I could, but I just didn't know how. She looked at me, still blushing, I smiled back at her. 'Hey, I'm going to get ready, specially if we have the Newcomer with us today. What are we doing with her?' I asked her and she shrugged, 'Our next game is in Five days, so I guess we are showing her around, hey maybe we can go to the Paradise Lounge?' She winked at me and I smiled, 'Okay senorita, no need to make intentions too obvious, but I'm digging it.' I winked back and left the room.

I put my T-shirt on and shorts, as legends we didn't have to go out dressed as we did in the arena, so I decided to dress how I noramlly would. Natalie was already in the kitchen with Ajay and Makoa when I walked into there, 'Ay brotha, you want some?' Makoa held a plate towards me with some eggs and bacon on it, I thankfully accepted it and quickly started eating, I could hear Bloodhound's raven down the hallway and it gave me the creeps, 'That bird gives me the creeps, no bueno.' I said towards Makoa who nodded in agreement. We heard commotion down the hallway, I looked towards Makoa who seemed serious. 'I don't trust the sound brotha, what if Loba and Revenant are trying to kill each other,' He said and I laughed, 'To be honest hermano, it wouldn't be the worst if that tin can's gone, he's too slow.' I said and we all laughed together, suddenly, Loba started walking down the hallway, holding her staff and a P2020, I stood up and backed away, Makoa looked at me and then down the hall, seeing Loba. 'Hey, no guns in the headquarters brotha,' He said, as she put it away in a holster on her hip, 'Sorry boy, didn't know this place had so many rules.' She said, I looked over at Nat who was looking at me, confused and slightly scared, 'So, what are we doing today? Stealing a few things? Adding to my collection.' She said, and Natalie shook her head and looked at her in disbelief, 'No no no, nothing like that! We are going to get a few drinks and show you around!' Natalie was, at this point, shocked beyond belief, 'Hey, hey, hey, I'll deal with this Senorita, We are leaving in a minute anyway.' I said and went over to Nat, I calmed her down and we left to look around.

We were looking around for hours at random little stores, Loba was talking about how easy it would be to rob them blind whilst being in front of them, making Nat even more uncomfortable. I looked at my wrist to the watch I wore whenever we were outside the ring, 'Hey it's about 5. Wanna head to the Paradise Lounge?' I said to the other two and they nodded in agreement, we started walking over there. It was on the other side of the city, so we got to show Loba some more of the sites that she could come too whilst being an Apex Legend, 'You know, Octavio, you seem like wuite the hype man, shame I prefer working alone. You two are my partners for the next game right?' Loba looked at me, then Natalie, we both nodded and she laughed, 'There is no need to be afraid, I may be a little flirtatious but i'm not here to find someone to take me out. I am here for him,' she said as the colour drained from her face, she continued walking but spaced out of her head almost, I knocked her and she snapped out of it. 'Sorry, there is a lot you two don't understand between me and that robot.' She said as we got near to the Lounge, I pointed to the sign and she nodded, walking in briskly.

When we walked in, Elliot instantly came over to us and guided us to a table in the corner, away from everyone, 'So, what can I get for you three?' He said, and Natalie just stayed quiet, watching Loba, we did the same as she walked around to a guy at the bar, put her arm around him and managed to take his watch without him noticing. 'I think we will have whatever you've got that will get us drunk, amigo.' I said and he went to fetch it for us, 'It's weird here, i can never tell which one is the real Elliot,' Natalie said from beside me, I looked at her and smiled, 'Don't worry senorita, no one can,' we both laughed as I said this. Loba started walking back and had a new watch in her hand, 'Let me ask you two something, what do you get for a girl who has everything? More.' She said and laughed, we laughed along with her as she was actually quite funny. Mirage bought us the drinks we'd asked for, 'It is for sipping so dont down it all at once.. or do, I won't judge' he siad, laughing, then disappearing.

Loba left after a few hours of getting to know us over drinks, me and Natalie decided to stay a bit longer, 'We don't have anything to do tomorrow so we could just sit here all night,' She said, I looked at her funny and laughed, 'If we did that, Blisk would have our head on a spike senora.' We laughed, and decided it was time to go home, 11:23, I thought to myself, as we started walking back, it was cold at this point, and the city always looked pretty at night. As we got to the Apex building, I looked at Natalie, 'It wasn't hard to find who was the prettiest in that bar though, Senorita.' I said and she blushed, 'Octavio..' She said, I looked at her waiting to continue but she just pulled me into a kiss, I kissed back and looked at her, 'Senorita, it's cold, come on I'll get you to your room,' I said, and I picked her up.

We walked into the building and Makoa, Ajay and Anita were sat in the lounge area, they looked at us and Makoa got up, 'Hey botha's, where have you two been?' He said and I pointed at Elliot, who was just walking down the hall, 'Oh yeah.. I was meant to tell you guys that they were staying late at the Lounge,' He said and Makoa looked at him, death starring him, Nat still had her arms around my neck and slowly falling asleep, 'Hey, can we have this argument later Amigo's? She's super tired.' I said and they nodded, I took Nat to her room and did the same as I did the night before, untucked her bed and got it ready for her to get into, I let her get changed in private and then came back in, 'Senorita, have a good sleep.' I said and she pulled me back and hugged me, 'Thank you for tonight, Octavio,' she said as she kissed me again, I blushed slightly, 'So does this mean we are a.. ya know?' She said and I nodded, 'Yes senorita, I love you.'
