They got together at the beginning of the summer before their freshman year of high school and before Monse left for summer camp.

In Chapter One Monse returns to find out that the crew have split apart because Cesar said that he had "smashed" Monse before she left for camp. Jamal and Ruby are disgusted that Cesar would say such a thing because they didn't believe it to be true, and also knew what that kind of rumor could do to her reputation. Cesar then surprises Monse at her house to apologize, but she threatens him with a baseball bat and confronts him before he has the chance. She asks him why he told people after they'd agreed to keep it a secret, revealing that they had "smashed" after all. Cesar tells her that he only did it to claim her for protection, as his older brother and other Santos members wanted to get at her.

Monse tells him that he needs to protect himself instead of her by leaving the Santos, but he becomes emotional as he believes there is no way out for him because his family crest has always been a gang sign. In the heat of the moment, she kisses him and he kisses her back while trying to keep his shirt on while Monse tries to take it off. Finally, Monse lifts his shirt up enough to see that he was hiding bruises all over his stomach, and she realizes that he'd already been jumped into the Santos.

Monse and Cesar are shown as a solid and supportive couple at the beginning of Season 2. Monse is the first person Cesar turns to when he gets jumped out of the Santos and Spooky kicks him out of the house. However, they later break up in "Chapter Fourteen" after Cesar gives her an ultimatum after she tells him she is leaving to go to Brentwood to stay with her mother for a few days.

When she returns from Brentwood in "Chapter Seventeen", they both apologize to each other and rekindled their relationship.

Their relationship doesn't last long as Monse breaks up with Cesar in "Chapter Twenty" after she finds out he slept with another girl named Paula whilst she was away in Brentwood.

Although the couple briefly hook-up in Chapter Twenty-One, the couple rekindled thier relationship again while going on a date in Chapter Twenty-Four. They maintain their relationship during the rest of Season 3.

It is revealed at the beginning of Season 4 that they are not together anymore. In Chapter Thirty-One, Monse returns to Freeridge and reveals to Jasmine that their break-up was because she realized how much Cesar was changing after seeing him assaulting someone.

Monse and Cesar do not really interact with each other even though she is back. However, in Chapter Thirty-Five, Cesar, saddened by his brother's death, appears in Monse's window. The two of them go on a walk and have their first conversation since their break-up. Cesar uses this moment to tell Monse how much he regrets losing her which Monse responds by saying he never lost her because they're "burn into each other's DNA". This leads to them having sex even though Cesar has a girlfriend.

Monse's old feelings for Cesar resurface and she starts hoping for a rekindling of their relationship. Cesar who just got got dump by his girlfriend Vero does not want that. At the end of Chapter Thirty-Six, they both agree to stay friends for the moment.

They resume their friendship, and Monse even helps Cesar bring up his grades in order for him to graduate in time. However, Monse secretly wants to go to prom with him as her date. Encouraged by her father, she decides to ask him to the prom, but she is left heartbroken when Cesar announces to her that he already agreed to go with Vero.
