Love on Mars - Bruno Mars FanFic

Chapter 29 - Chaos & Confusion

Bruno's POV

Bruno ran to the elevator but got there after it had already closed.   "FUCK!" He yelled.  Angry with himself and as he turned to walk back to his suite he sees Aisha standing there with her hand on her hip, his anger with her even more. 

"Look Aisha, you got your things and I'm done talking ok!" He said as he approached her. 

"Was that her?!" She asked, grabbing his arm as he tried to go around her into his suite.

He ignored her pulling away as he walked toward the bedroom saying "I'm tired,"

She raised her voice and asked again, "WAS THAT HER!!!" 

Irritated and not wanting to argue further, he walked into the bedroom as she tried to follow him but he got there steps ahead of her saying "I said I don't wanna talk ok! Good night!" And with that he slammed the door just as she got closer leaving her standing stunned on the other side. She stood there a moment until she heard the door lock. Pissed, she took a deep breath turned and walked away from the bedroom door and out of the suite.

She wanted to argue more because that would mean there's still something between them.  She always knew how to keep him engaged.  He loved to fight.  But this was different.  She  huffed "Fine!!!" and went back to her room on another floor.

When Bruno got in his room he grabbed his phone and called Che but it went straight to voicemail, he tried again just in case she was on the phone but again, voicemail. Then he texted.

Bruno: Che, Thought you was coming up?

As if he didn't just see her there at the door. Fuck! No answer back so he threw his phone and it landed on the bed. When he heard the door out in the living area slam, he came out of the bedroom, glad that Aisha was finally gone.  Then he went to the mini bar looking for a drink. He grab the nearest two little bottles of whiskey and downed both then threw them one by one in a nearby trash can. Thinking that wasn't enough he went back into the bedroom and took his robe off and threw it on the bed then looked around and grabbed a tee shirt and a pair of basketball shorts. Then he texted Lonnie that he's going down to the bar for a few minutes in case anyone is looking for him. Lonnie texted back  "Ok I'll be at the elevator in a minute."  Bruno texted back "Nah I'm going alone it's quiet I'll be ok. Relax."

Che's POV

I heard his voice call my name as I quickly stepped into the elevator and the door closed before he could reach me. I pressed my back to the wall and breathing heavy,  adrenaline coursed thru my body and that heavy ache in my chest began again.  Shit!! Who was that girl? Have I seen her before?   Wait! I have seen her. Tonight at the show. I thought she was just a fan but why would a fan be in his room? Let alone arguing? Finally the elevator stopped at my floor but I decided to push 16, because I wasn't ready to go in yet. As the elevator started to move again I tried to recall the many times I saw photos or videos of him over the past few months. He was never really coupled up with anyone but always surrounded by adoring females. As the elevator stopped my phone rang and I saw it was him. My heart raced again as I looked at it. I stepped off the elevator and pressed my phone to make it go to voicemail. I'm not ready for this. The heart break again. What was I thinking? I walk into the 16th floor lobby and onto the patio where the 2 pools were and there was still a small crowd outside drinking and talking as jazz music played softly. A waitress came to me as I looked around. It was a beautiful night. She asked if she could get me something, so I ordered a moscato and stepped over to a seat on one of the sofas. I watched couples together talking intimately and others looking like new friends getting to know each other. My thoughts turned to me and Bruno. He does something to me. Besides break my heart with his overthinking and hard cut and dry way of thinking. But the moment he looks at me my insides go to mush and I realize I'm not over him. I still love him. God I want to kill him sometimes! My phone's chime shook me from my thoughts.  A text from him.  I shake my head and try to just ignore it as the waitress hands me a glass of wine and a napkin. As I signed the receipt I ask if its ok to sit anywhere out here by the pool. She said yes I could sit anywhere. I thanked her and walked to the other side of the pool where the cabanas were and found a quiet spot near one where I could watch the people and the beautiful night sky. I walked to the glass railing, taking a sip of my wine and leaned against it as I slipped back into my thoughts. The Miami night sky was always so beautiful. The air warm and the sound of R&B music coming from the DJ booth by the bar made it perfect. Looking out at the moon shimmering on the water and the beautiful tall buildings that lit the sky reminded me of times we spent here. I smiled and my kitty jumped a bit causing that oh so familiar ache between my legs. Gosh! Let me stop! Shaking my head of those things because right now I don't understand what's going on. Why would he ask me up if he's here with someone? My thoughts turn to anger now as I finish my wine. What was I thinking agreeing to see him. I smirk then smile, yea I know.....
