It was dark outside and cold, to say the least. A few cars would pass him by time and again. The only safe place he could go to was a couple of miles away. Now that his cover was blown, he needed to be careful.Beams of bright light cleared the road from behind him. At this time of the night, he was the only one walking. The car behind him slowed down until stopping right in front of him. An unfamiliar vehicle. The window rolled down and there she was again.“For a guy who’s a criminal, you’re not very hard to find”He leaned in through the window, catching a better look at the Detective. “Maybe I wanted to be found by you.”“ Why would you want me to find you Maximus ?” “You’re the only one I know here”A few more cars passed them by as they stood there.“This place is dangerous” she reminded. “Do you have a place to stay ?”“Yes, my warehouse is a few minutes walk from here”“Well, I certainly cannot let you walk there. And I can’t let you sleep in a warehouse either. I have to keep
A few more hours went by. It had stopped raining and the curtains dangled and swayed gently from the cold wind making its way through the window.Selena was resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeats. He would run his hand down her bare back gently and picture something more than this passing moment. He could feel the warmth of her whole body on him and he relished this feeling.“Can I ask you a question?” she began quietly. ”Go ahead”“Promise you won’t get mad”“I already don’t like where this is going” he confessed.She pushed up to look at him directly. “I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important, please........” “Okay, fine, you can ask”She breathed. “Where is your brother? I am only asking because I know he has also been through a lot”He took his time to say, “My brother left the country a few days ago. He promised to never come back”She cringed inside. Space and time were not what the brothers needed right now. Being apart was just going to break them further from each o
Steady footsteps echoed outside the door. The sound of imminent danger was almost muffled by the falling rain. A spear of lightning lit the sky and a shadow from the front door crept in uninvited.Don slunk out of the sheets with his gun drawn. His eyes were a bit sore from a heavy sleep. It was now four in the morning. Heart pounding in his chest, he reached for the door, swung it hard, and almost opened fire on........Selena! His hands jerked back to hide the gun. He took in the rest of her wet and trembling body, accompanied by the fear of nearly being shot at.“Selena?”“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to come unannounced, but I figured you wouldn’t have met me had I asked....”“What are you doing here, especially this time of the night ?” “I wanted to-”“No, actually, don’t mind that. How did you find me”“I’ve spent a month with the most elusive crime lord in all of Colombia, don’t you think I know a few tricks by now?”He immediately pulled her inside, “Come on in, and I'm sure it's Du
DANDELIONS*. *. *. *. *“Hi Laura, it’s me, Selena.” She could hear her voice bouncing back from the walls on the other end of the line. There was heavy breathing on the phone.“Selena?” the wavering voice broke through. “Is that you ?” “Yes Lu, it’s me” she answered, holding back the tears.“But...........how.........I thought you were......dead” She breathed, now crying. “Let’s not do this over the phone. Meet me at the play Park in one hour. Bring Erick with you.”“Uuuum, okay.........we will be there” she promised, still in shock.The Play Park was a large green field of irregular plains. A dozen deliberate trees held a few spots to offer to relieve shelter to the couples that flocked here from the library across the street. The state museum stood eastward, overlooking the lucent lawn and satiating atmosphere.Selena came here as quickly as she could, and stood anxiously for a moment in the open as she searched for them.It had been so long since she saw Erick and Laura, her fami
“I love you” she began“Don’t .......please don’t. Not now”“I need to tell you this. You have to believe me”He only pushed passed her and walked to the front door.“This is all my fault” she moaned, catching his attention with the desperate attempt. “I know that all this is happening because of me.”He didn’t stop at the sound of her voice. He eventually exited the room but she quickly followed him and again she said, “Please Don, this is my fault. You can punish me if you want. I know I deserve it but please let me take her to the hospital. I am going to come back.”“Your words mean nothing to me. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust a word from your mouth. You say one thing and do the other. You claim you feel nothing for my brother but you scream his name when I make love to you.”“Am sorry Don I am. Maybe I haven’t
Isabella ripped that one page from her diary. This was her only moment. She was finally going to confess. She willed herself out of the room. There was no time like the present.If she was going to fail to tell him her heart’s desire, then she was simply going to hand him that piece of paper. In her paper she said,‘I have never known happiness. I have never seen the sun’s bright rays of light. Even at the night, my heart has never been moved by the moonlight and the stars. To me they were nothing but rocks, burning millions of miles away. But then in my deepest darkest moment, I met you.In my lonely moments, I saw you. You have filled my heart with love, like a thief you have stolen my heart and hid it in a place only you can find.Don’t you now consider yourself to be selfish? How can you understand this feeling if I do not yet exist in your lonely world?But now, because you are the reason, I can watch the sun as it rises from its sleep, I stay up late at night some days and make
