“I’m—”
“Close your eyes and breathe,” the doctor interrupts and Mariah’s bottom lip trembles. She does as he asks, but the sudden jitters make me feel like shit all over again.
I’m going from jealousy to anger to guilt all within the span of a few minutes; she’s going to drive me insane. Certifiable.
A lone tear falls and that’s it. That’s my limit.
“Touch her and I shoot.” Fuck it, I use her line. “We’re out, babe. Grab your things.”
“But, Javi—”
“No but, Mariah. I will not sit here and let you be miserable.” Cupping her face with one hand, I wipe her tear with my thumb. “This is unacceptable.”
“It is.” Another tear falls from her eye and my chest constricts. God, what is she doing to me? “But you know what’s even more messed up?”
“No,” I whisper, afraid to further upset her.
“It’s messing with my desk, you jerk. Don’t. Touch. My. Stuff.”
“What did you just say?” The doctor is laughing beside us while her eyes are alight with mischievous amusement. “Muñeca, I’m—”
“What my cousin is trying to say,” Samuel interrupts me once again and I’m close to snapping his neck. I’m trying to compute, but coming up short past the tears and threat over her desk and—”
“Your desk.”
“Si.”
“This is over your desk?”
“Once again…si.”
“And he’s your cousin?”
Mariah tries to smirk, but it comes out as a squishy grin when I squeeze her jaw. Not hard, but enough to create a kind-of-cute ducky face. “He is.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
“No.” Turning her face with my hand still holding her jaw, she waves at Samuel. “Meet Dr. Samuel Pains. He’s my mother’s late sister’s son.”
“I’m going to kill you.”
“Not really.”
I turn her attention back to me and laugh. The chuckle is a bit dark. A little sinister, and when she raises a brow in challenge, I let go and step back. “Run.”
“What?” A shiver rushes through her. My threat excites her.
The End.

About the Author:
Elena M. Reyes was born and raised in Miami, Florida. She is the epitome of a Floridian and if she could live in her beloved flip-flops, she would.
As a small child, she was always intrigued with all forms of art—whether it was dancing to island rhythms, or painting with any medium she could get her hands on. Her first taste of writing came to her during her fifth-grade year when her class was prompted to participate in the D. A. R. E. Program and write an essay on what they’d learned.
Her passion for reading over the years has amassed her with hours of pleasure. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon fanfiction that her thirst to write overtook her world. She now resides in Central Florida with her husband and son, spending all her down time letting her creativity flow and characters grow.
