His Fallen Angel

3

It had been a month with me staying with Carlo 'Lacruz'. It had been the time of my life.

"Raine come on you're taking forever again Do you really want a ride in Ferrari." He grumbled from outside of my room.

Yep you guessed it. He named his Ferrari, Ferrari. So original.

Notice the sarcasm.

"A lady should always look her best you overgrown mongoose." I yelled back.

"Ten nine eight..."

Jeez what got his panties in a twist, he was giving me the count down. Once a Lacruz always Lacruz.

I hurried to the door just as he was about to say zero.

He gave me a double once over

"You don't even look different."

I was hurt I really wanted to look good today. For a reason I don't know. And he just said I looked like myself.

"Hey hey why the pouty face. You always look beautiful to me so weather you put lipgloss on or shave your head bold you'd still look like you. Beautiful." He whispered and took me into his arms.

Aww sometimes a girl just needed reassurance.

"Carlo that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me," I sniffed as tears clouded in my eyes.

"Puh lease I'd even bang you if I could."

"Way to ruin the moment Carlo." I said as I pushed him away and ran outside and into "Ferrari".

It was just hilarious.

He got in a moment later.

"Wait did you just give me the count down only to make me wait longer, you're an ass."

"Sorry babe old habits die hard." I just rolled my eyes.

After moment he grumbled, "A nice ass to be exact. I mean girl have you seen these babies." he wiggled his butt in his seat.

I mentally face palmed. This man will be the death of me.

As usual the day dragged on and I was just waiting for Carlo to pick me up.

He came to me an unreadable expression. I got in the car and held his hand.

"Everything okay?"

"Yes...no." He sighed as he rubbed his face.

"What's wrong buddie."

"My dad called. He said if I don't go back home by the end of this month I shouldn't bother to come back again in future. Turns out me being here hasn't sat well with him yet."

I just squeezed his hand and he smiled softly.

"I can't leave mi familia. My father might be a pain in the ass but I still love him. And I still love my family so much. My mama, abuela and my little brother. I just, I just can't...I can't leave them." He was crying now.

Ohh Carlo.

I'd never seen him so broken.

'Come here," I whispered as I pulled him to me. I held him tightly because that was all I could do. I couldn't promise him that everything would be okay because I didn't know that.

After a few minutes of me holding him he sniffed a little and gently let go.

"Thank you Raine, it means lot."

I just nodded.

"Now that that's over can we please go to the party I told you about yesterday."

"Urgh Caarrloo."
