La Diabla (18+)

Jealousy

~Cecelia~

After I took a shower, I got dressed into a pair of blue jean shorts and a black tank top. I made my way outside were everyone was waiting for me, I got into the car and we made our way out of the driveway. Maria stayed at the house and Alejandro was occupied, so they didn't join us.

Alejandro was busy arranging the security and the house we are suppose to move into tonight. He said he needed to double check the area to make sure it's safe for us and to see if the house is ready for our arrival.

"So, what do you feel like eating?"Lucas asked as we drove away from the house, " I mean it's already 12:23, I don't think we'll find a place that's serving breakfast." Enrique said. "I know a good cafe that's like 10 minutes away from here, if y'all want to go" I offered. "Ya, what's it called?" Lucas asked, "sunflower cafe" I said, "oh is it the one with the huge bakery?" Enrique turns around in his seat to look at me.

"Yes, it was one of the first places I ate at when I arrived here, it's secluded." I said non-chalantly.
As we made our way to the cafe, Enrique turns around and stared at me. "What" I ask, "who gave you the hickey?" He asked with a small smirk plastered on his face.

My eyes go wide and I bring my hand up to my neck, "other side sweetheart." Enrique chuckled "oh I burn my neck with the straightener." I say trying to convince him, "Mhm, sure." He said and turned back around.

We arrived at the cafe shortly after, we sat down at a table by the window. After a bit a waiter comes out and greets us. "How may I help you today?" He asked, notepad in his hand ready to get our orders.

"I would like a sweet tea to drink , she would like a small fruit punch please." I kindly gave our order to the waiter.
"I would like a peach tea." Enrique order, "Same as him" Lucas requested.

"Okay I'll be right back with your drinks."  He walks away. As I skim the menu, I hear my phone ring. I grab it and excuse myself. It's a unknown number so it's probably some scam.

"Hello" I answer it, "Hello munchkin" those two words and voice make my heart stop beating and my blood run cold. No. Breathe Cecilia, Breathe.

You're stronger. You're not afraid anymore. Remain calm. I try to remain as calm as possible.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" His laugh echoes through the phone. The only thing I can do is remain silent, I can't speak. I feel powerless, I feel weak, I feel like I did 4 years ago.

"How's Penelope? She looks so beautiful." He states, sighing. "You son of bitch, leave her alone. If you touch one hair on her, I swear I'll put a bullet through your head." I said now hatred running through me.

"Tsk tsk tsk, always a hothead Cecilia. You should learn from your mistakes." He chuckles, "I'm coming  for you and there's nothing you can do to stop me." and with that he hangs up.

My breath becomes shallow and my eyes sting with tears. My heart is beating fast, a cold sweat forming on my forehead. I swallow the tears building up and breathe in and out. Penelope, think of Penelope. I put a smile on my face and walk back to my table.

"Who was it?" Enrique asked, while sipping his peach tea, the waiter must have brought them out when I was on the phone.

"Oh no one, it was just a scammer." I said shrugging my shoulders, "really you were taking awfully long." He said, "I said it was just a scammer." I said bitterly
