S4-Chapter 148

Author: Maria Anita
Patrick’s POV

Melissa called me aside before leaving at the end of the day. She had spent practically the entire day hovering around Lexie, and by now she surely knew everything we needed.

"You already know how it's going to be, right?" I asked.

"Down to every last detail. But tomorrow, you need to have lunch with me. And don't tell her you're having lunch with me, or she'll get suspicious," Melissa warned me.

"Got it. I'll use Rick as a distraction." I laughed.

"Oh, Guzman, Rick worries me. He drops that dog Tess and now he's already getting tangled up with the Lancaster girl." Melissa watched Anabel saying goodbye to the girls.

"But they're just friends, Mel, what's the problem?" I asked.

"Oh, Guzman! You really are a simpleton!" Melissa stared at me and shook her head.

After everyone left, I found Lexie sitting in the living room, gazing through the glass door.

"Is everything okay, my sweet?" I sat beside her and pulled her to lean against me.

"Yes. It was a great day, wasn't it?"

    Melissa’s POVFred seemed to have made an effort to apologize, but the truth was he didn't even need to do anything. Just the fact that he realized he needed to apologize was already a big step, and I was happy he understood he had hurt my feelings. But I also loved the idea of the trip, it would be nice to have some time just for us.But the best part of everything was always his kisses, always so good, full of affection. I loved the way he kissed me, how gentle he was with his touches, and I loved how he got goosebumps when I touched his skin, declaring my intentions. And everything was going so well, until that damn phone rang and some random girl's voice sounded so intimate. I pushed him and he crashed to the floor, making the loudest noise."Little Fred? What was that noise?" The feminine voice spoke again."Go on, Fernando, explain to your little friend what that noise was. Or do you want me to explain it myself?" I stood up and crossed my arms, watching his desperation to get up

    Fernando’s POVMelissa left home so early today, and yesterday we barely talked. The atmosphere was strange, and I knew she was upset. I needed to make her understand that she was very important to me. And I needed her to understand that work was very important too.I should have talked to her yesterday, cleared things up, but I called my parents, as I do every week, and had no idea my cousins would be there. I ended up getting distracted in a nice chat with the girls; they were full of college news. But Melissa had no right to be jealous about that. Sure, they never got along well, but they were the daughter of my mother’s sister, we were family.The fact is, I was here at work with my mind on my girlfriend who was seeing problems where there weren’t any. And then there was the wedding thing, everyone was getting married and Mel didn’t want to be left behind, but I was still too young for that. I was only twenty-eight years old, it was still early. And so was she. I knew that marriage

    Melissa’s POVI returned to my apartment, feeling somewhat shaken by Rafael's words. It hit me that people were already starting to notice I'd become an afterthought in Fernando's life. And I didn't want to keep struggling with this, trying to gain an importance in his life that he didn't seem willing to give me.I went to the bedroom where he was still sleeping. I grabbed the note I'd left him and threw it away—I was back anyway. Then I returned to the kitchen and made lunch, ate alone, and spent the entire afternoon by myself waiting for him to wake up, which only happened at five in the evening."Hi, little bee. I'm sorry, I overslept," he said, appearing on the apartment balcony and bending down to kiss my head.I'd already spent a good while crying while sitting there, but I preferred he didn't notice. So I cleared my throat before speaking."Hi, Fred. There's food in the fridge. Want me to heat it up for you?" I asked."No, thanks. I'll do it myself later." He pulled up the other

    Melissa’s POVI got out of bed while Fernando was still fast asleep. He'd definitely been up all night, though what he'd been doing was the real question. He said he'd been working, and I still believed him, but lately he'd been working way too much, which made me suspect there was something different about this job.I took one last look at him before leaving. I had an appointment, so I left a note on the nightstand and headed down to the apartment below."Hi, Melissa!" Giovanna opened the apartment door.She was a fifteen-year-old teenager who struggled terribly with math and had an even greater interest in boys, so I helped her with math and gave her some tips about guys. She was an amazing girl whose mother had abandoned her with her father to go live with her boyfriend in Australia, but Gia hadn't let it get to her. Her dad was great with her, and she was a happy, curious girl."Hi, Gia. I'm running a bit late, sorry." I gave her a kiss on the cheek before going in."If I had a hot

    Fernando’s POVI was coming to the conclusion that Melissa might kill me in my sleep any moment and make my body disappear. Well, at least that would be better than her leaving me. But what choice did I have after getting an urgent call from work? And the worst part was that my boss himself called, threatening to fire me, so it wasn't really a request.I left Rick's wedding frustrated about abandoning my friends at such a special moment for them, but mostly about leaving Melissa alone at a party—that was unforgivable! I didn't know how she didn't get furious; she just told me to hurry up and go. Maybe it would've been better if she had gotten angry. I knew her too well to understand that when she stopped fighting, it meant she was ready to turn the page. Melissa only fought for what she wanted or what mattered to her.With all these thoughts racing through my mind, by the time I parked my car in the company lot, my heart was frozen with fear that she'd tell me to go to hell. But I had

It was a deeply special moment for me."Did you send them the invitation, my love?" I asked anxiously."I did, sweetheart, but I don't know if they'll be able to come."
