Génesis POV

❀⊱┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄⊰❀

When I woke up, my seat was leaning back and I was thanking God it was dark outside still, I couldn't handle light in my eyes right now my head was already hurting slightly. I looked over at Matías and he was gripping the steering wheel so hard with his left hand his knuckles were turning white. "Easy on the steering wheel, it did nothing to you." His head snapped and looked at me his face was full of concern, "that's the second time you've done that to me tonight, give me some warning next time yeah?" He smirked at me, yeah now he's the one with the jokes cute. I rolled my eyes at him and reach on the side of the seat to raise my seat back up and I felt him reach over and grab my shoulder.

"Lay back its still another fifteen minutes before we get there," I started to fight him on it but I realized he wasn't going to give up so I stayed laying back in my seat and he moved his hand once he did I reached for my phone in my lap. "Mat where's my phone?" I asked him and he glanced at me with a guilty expression. "I threw it out the window after I talked to Aurora and Mateo.

"YOU WHAT?!" I snapped back at him I had precious memories in that phone. He chuckled, "if it makes you feel any better I threw mine out as well. But I had a feeling your phone was being tracked so it was better to get rid of it before we got to the safe house."

"No, that does not make me feel any damn better, but fine. And who's the safe house we don't have one here." I asked him we only had two safehouses one in LA and another in Hawaii but we rarely used either. "Well it'll be ours in a few days, but Mateo and I have one here, Mexico, Belize, and Chicago. We're looking into getting one in Columbia as well."

"Of course, you do, and don't say ours like that it makes me feel like a spoiled brat," I playfully hit him in his arm and instantly regret it. The fuck was he made out of rocks? "Como quieras princesa." He looked over and winked at me and focused back on the road, but that alone was enough to make me go feral. He was not helping my little crush on him by flirting with me, I had full intentions of just being his friend and nothing more it was better if I didn't complicate it by falling any further for him, but the more time I spent with him the harder that was becoming.

"Did you find out anything before you threw the phones out?" I couldn't help but think something horrible happened to my family and if it did I probably wouldn't be able to recover from it. He looked at me from the corner of his eye and shook his head no, I felt tears form in my eyes but I was determined not to let them fall I just turned my head and looked out the window. He reached over grabbing my hand and I intertwined our fingers, I wanted to thank him it's as if he knew holding his hand made me feel better but I was afraid that if I started talking I'd cry. So instead I began drawing random shapes on the back of his hand.

The rest of the ride was filled with silence and it wasn't weird or uncomfortable it was comforting weirdly, I was still worried sick about my family but holding Matías' hand just had a way of making me feel as if everything would be handled either way. "We're here," he said finally breaking the silence I used my other hand to bring my seat up finally and when I looked at the house it was gorgeous for a lack of a better word. It was mainly white with black trimming and a black roof, it was a minimum of three stories at least but it wasn't too big either.

He stopped the car and put it in the park and I began to reach for my door, "if you try to touch your door again I will cut your hands off myself." I rolled my eyes and threw my hands up in surrender, this guy has serious issues and I thought I was insane but he's a gentleman nonetheless. Still won't stop me from trying to piss him off. He came around my side and opened my door holding his hand out for me, I accepted it and stepped outstretching. Being in that car for hours had my back aching like hell, before I could even finish my stretch someone ran into me engulfing me in a hug.
