After the Wedding Page #4

I really thought that

you had him on lock down.

Like, in a good way.

Men.

- I'm so tired.

- It'll be okay.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry for doing this

right before your wedding.

- No!

I'm glad you called me.

That's what friends are for.

- Don't be so hard

on yourself, Diego.

I mean...

Married life's made

you a little sloppy,

okay, you know, you forgot.

You forgot what you had to do.

You never thought she'd

look through your phone,

but look, you know, it happens.

I mean, it's not uncommon

within the first year

of marriage for newlywed couples

to experience this

kind of stuff.

And you know how girls are.

They get a little wacky

over the first few days,

but then that's when

it's your green light

to go in and patch things up.

- And besides, you know,

Mariana's gonna

understand one thing.

You're having trouble

adjusting, you know.

Corporate ladder.

And I think that was

just the real Diego

that we know that was

itching to come out.

- And what? What do I do?

She won't f***in' talk to me.

- It's normal.

The first few days are

gonna be like that.

And then you'll see that

there's a golden window

that's gonna open and

that's when you come in.

You go on the Internet,

you get a letter,

one of those apology, you

know, boyfriend to girlfriend.

You modify it a little bit,

'cause you never know,

one of her friends

could be like, "oh that's

a letter from," you know.

You don't want that.

So change it up a little bit.

Get her a nice little something,

do something special for her.

You know, don't go get

her an expensive thing

'cause you're never

gonna pick the right one,

but do something nice.

A bed of roses, you

know, a little champagne.

The letter.

Let's just cheers to

an honest lifestyle.

- Thanks, bro.

- Hi.

Thank you.

I got flowers.

You got flowers.

Mariana, it says.

Wonder who that's from.

- Yeah.

- What'd it say?

Please come back, I love you.

Are you gonna call him?

- No.

No, I can't.

Hey.

- Hey.

I sent you something,

did you get it?

- Yes, thank you.

- You're welcome.

I asked for orchids,

did they send orchids?

- Diego, I can't talk right now.

- Okay, I'm not gonna keep you.

I just wanna say that I miss you

and I really wish we

could talk in person.

- Are you ready to

be straight with me?

- Yes.

- Okay then, just meet

me at Carol's here

tomorrow at noon.

- Okay.

I love you.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

- Bye.

- Hey.

- Nice makeup.

- It was my bachelorette

party last night, smart ass.

Come in.

- Thank you.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Brought you something.

- Thanks.

- I'll be in my room if

you need anything, okay?

- You wanna go outside?

- Okay.

- This is hard.

It started the day

after I arrived.

I met Vanessa by the pool.

It was pretty innocent.

She woke me and

offered me sunblock,

but then I ran into her again

and it was just friendly.

Then the night

before you arrived

she took me out,

showed me Miami,

and we both had a little

too much to drink.

We went back to

her place and we...

We kissed.

She kissed me, to be exact.

But I didn't pull

away immediately.

Mariana, I know this

was wrong, but...

I didn't sleep with her.

I'm not gonna lie.

I considered it.

But then I thought about us

and how I didn't wanna

throw all that away

just for some girl

giving me attention.

Mariana, I know I acted badly

and I'm not proud of this.

And I'm not asking

you to understand,

but I'm asking you to

at least believe me.

I didn't sleep with her.

- I've been thinking about

us a lot the past few days

and how I just

haven't been happy

for the past six months

ever since we got married.

It's clear now that you

haven't been either.

- That's not true.

- Let me finish.

It's just lately

it just feels like

your mind is always

somewhere else.

Why can't you just be happy?

- It's called stress.

Sometimes I feel

like I'm on some sort

of check list of

yours, you know?

Engaged, check.

Married, check.

Find Diego a new job, check.

And now a baby?

It's like you're trying

to prove something

instead of just doing

things because you want to.

I'm sorry, but

I'm not like that.

- You were the one that said

you were tired of

waiting tables.

I was just trying to help you.

- I know, tiger,

and I would've never

gotten the job without you,

but sometimes I feel like

you don't have faith that I'll

be able to take care of us.

- That's not true.

- Well, I don't wanna

argue with you about it,

but that's how I feel.

- Did you wanna get married?

- Yes, of course I did.

- But if I hadn't pushed you

we would just still be dating.

- Look, I wanted to marry you.

I love you.

- What about kids?

- I want kids, but not yet.

Why can't we wait a year?

Or two.

We're still young.

- And this has nothing

to do with Vanessa?

- No!

Nothing.

It's a stupid night that

I regret very, very much.

It was just...

Morbid curiosity and I never

shoulda hung out with her.

- Do you wanna be with me?

Because you know we're

both adults, Diego,

and nobody is forcing

us to do anything.

- Yes.

Forever.

And I want us to

have a family, too,

but when it's

truly right for us,

not because you're

trying to prove something

to your coworkers.

Or because your

parents are asking.

Can I hold you?

- No.

I just need time.

- Mariana.

I love you.

- I love you, too, okay,

but I'm just really

confused right now.

- Sure you don't wanna

come back to the hotel?

- No.

I'll see you at the wedding.

- Okay.

- Family and friends, on

behalf of Mike and Carol,

I'd like to welcome

you all here today

on this beautiful beach.

We stand together

beside the ocean

not only to witness

their commitment

- I now pronounce you to

be co-captains in life,

best friends forever, and

most important of all,

husband and wife.

Mike, you may now

kiss the bride.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- The reception's started.

- It's okay.

I'm sorry.

For letting things

get so out of control.

And you're right, I've been

putting a lot of pressure on us.

But I've been thinking

and I wanna support you.

Whether it's in quitting

that stupid job or whatever,

and it sucks but

you'll figure it out.

- Really?

- Yeah.

But you gotta be

more open with me.

No more secrets, Diego.

No more texting girls,

no more lying, okay?

Just complete openness.

- Okay.

- Can I have a cigarette?

- You don't smoke.

- Well maybe I wanna start.

- Shut up.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

- I love you, too.

- You got everything?

- Yeah.
