"Because..." Marissa began, but Efrain interrupted, struggling to stand with the support of his crutches. "Marissa is living here with me."Marissa glanced at Efrain, surprise and concern, this information could cause problems between him and Juan."So, Marissa has been staying with you all this time, and I had no clue about your relationship," Juan expressed his confusion with a puzzled expression on his face.Marissa walked up to him. "It's not your concern. Why don't you go away and let me be?""Marissa, you understand how much I value you. And Efrain, despite being my friend, can only offer you a sexual relationship, nothing beyond that," Juan murmured, speaking only for her ears."Juan, Efrain and I are in a relationship, and we are deeply in love," Marissa asserted."That's a lie, and right now you're going to gather all your things, and we're going home," Juan insisted."No!
