A Jealous Bite

Chapter 7

:Confession:

Estella's pov~

As I sat at my desk admiring the note given by Miguel, my phone chimed...

::John-Hey? Are you busy tonight?

::Me-I have to work late tonight on a project :(

::John-:( darn, but hey, I'll visit u here in a bit ;)

Shit.

I didn't want Miguel to know about John, especially not now that he was making a move on me, not now that I had feelings for him.

I hear the door open behind me, startling me into slamming my phone on the desk. "Hey?" A deep familiar tone walked in. It was Miguel. "Heyyy." I tried to hide the panic in my voice but failed. I gave him a sheepish smile. He chuckled, which I don't get to see often "sorry I didn't mean to startle you." he smiled, and one of his fangs slipped out. "It's alright," I said, trying to avoid looking at him for too long. "Did u happen to see what I was texting?" I asked a bit nervous. "No, just that u were texting someone." he cocked an eyebrow. "Where they someone important?" He asked.

Fuck....

Miguel's pov~

I looked over at her office and noticed her blinds were closed. They normally aren't. I was curious, probably a bit too curious because what I walked into was a bit bigger than I could chew...

"Estella?" I walked in, and she panicked, slamming her phone down. She's usually not this secretive...

"Miguel! Hi!" she had panic in her voice like she was hiding something. "Chatting with someone?" I raised an eyebrow. "Oh, just some.... co-worker..." she looked away from me. "Just some coworker?" I stepped closer, "you seem like you're lying, Estella, " I teased.

She bit her red fingernail, "You might know him.... he works down in technical.." she said with a hint of shame in her voice. "What's his name?" I ask in a curious tone. "John..." she whispers. I knew exactly who she was talking about when she said his name, and my blood began to heat up hearing his name. I didn't want to imagine their relationship, that was if they even were in one. I felt uneasy knowing someone else was taking up her precious time when it could have been me. "John hu?" I tried hiding the anger in my voice. "A few times...." Estella fiddled with her skirt. She was obviously nervous and ashamed. I  let out a sharp sigh after finding out this information, I wanted to ask more, but I didn't want to push her boundaries.

She was obviously thinking of something between her and John because she blushed, "Miguel- I..." she tried getting the words out but kept getting choked up. I wanted to know more. "Tell me," I demanded. "He and I did things...." she was embarrassed as she spoke. My heart was crushed knowing the love of my life found pleasure in someone else. "You and him... did things?..." My voice was shaky. I tried to process this, containing my anger. She nodded. I sighed, trying to calm myself.  My mind was racing, trying to think of ways I could have prevented this, I felt like I had been stabbed in the back. "Tell me how it felt..." I asked in the calmest tone I had. "It was reliving..." she looked up at me. "Did you enjoy it?" Anyone could hear the hiss of anger in my voice. I was jealous beyond belief. "In the moment I did..." she looked away. I began to shake in anger, I wanted to yell, to cry.  "And after?" I cupped her face in my hand. She wouldn't look at me. "Look at me and tell me Estella!" I towered over her but held her firm, carefully making sure my claws didn't cut her skin, even for how angry I was. "I felt ashamed after..." she said, locking eyes with me. I sighed as my anger started to die down, and I let go of her face. "So why did you do it? Why put yourself through that?" I asked, letting myself collapse on the couch she had in her office. "Miguel, you have to understand I was in pain....pain that you put me in...." she looked at her skirt. My heart hurt hearing this, I know I had hurt her. I just never realized how much until now...

"I'm sorry..." I said with sadness in my voice. "I'm sorry too..." she looked up at me. I sighed as i looked down. "Look, I'll admit that I'm definitely jealous, but I'm also willing to forgive you because I do care about you, you know..." I smiles slightly, a small part of my heart warming at the thought of forgiving her. "So... Do you think we can try again? Start over and start new?" I asked.

"Sure, Spider-Man" she smiled....
