Hey Jr.!

Chapter 24 - First Fight

"We need to talk" Siya gets up immediately not making it further awkward for both of them.

Carlos sits straight up and runs both his hands through his hair and sighs, trying to get himself together and get a grasp around the situation.

"What happened?" He asks looking up at Siya that's facing her back to him putting her buttons back on.

She places her hands onto her hips staring out of the window to find the best words not to hurt Carlos.

Carlos gets up and walks to her. He hugs her from the back.

She turns around with his arms still around her.

"What is it Siya?" He asks her again, gently.

Siya looks up at him and shakes her head, very well knowing that this question might not go well.

"Are the rumours true?" She asks and could she immediate pain and frustration in his eyes "about you cheating on your 7 year old relationship? And that's why you have moved on so fast?" she continued.

He slowly lets her go from his embrace.

Carlos sighs looking up at the ceiling "Siya, I have already expressed my reasons on why I could move on"

"I don't understand why you wouldn't make a comment about you cheating" she contradicts calmly

"Because it hurts me to see that not a single soul trusted me enough to think that it wouldn't have been the case" he answers equally calm but a lot hurt and frustrated.

"Carlos you know I trust you. But you should also know that I need assurance, I have been and I am too invested into this just to end up wasting my time" she explains her thoughts

"I don't understand how much more assurance you need Siya" he says looking down "I don't know how much more or what I should be doing"

"Just give me the explanation that Im asking for" she says folding her hands

Carlos shakes his head in defeat "You told me you trust me and that you'll give me sometime"

"Yes but don't you think it's time we talk about it? Carlos we both know it's getting serious between us. And I don't want to face another situation where you'll just jump into another relationship right away" she blurts out

"What do you mean?" He asks feeling pain in his chest

"You went into a relationship with Isa 3 weeks after I left. I was going to come back to give an explanation but guess what you are already dating!" She exclaims

"We talked about this Siya. You can't expect me to wait especially when I had no clue when you're going to come back. You knew you were going to come back , I didn't!" he was getting mad

"And I told you that I wasn't expecting you to wait! But what I also didn't expect was for you to be in a relationship that quick" she argues back

"Siya I liked Isa a lot. I didn't just jump into a relationship for the sake of it." their discussion starts to pick up the heat.

"I know that Carlos. I saw you both with my own eyes. Why do you think I never bothered you all those years? It's out of respect towards you, respect towards Isa and respect towards your relationship." She makes her statement

"And that's what makes me wonder! You both were doing good, even though there could be disturbances in the relationship how is it so easy for you to throw it away!?" She questions him

"Just because I decided to leave the past behind, doesn't mean that I have loved anybody less Siya" he says anger filled in his eyes, his voice still at a normal decibel.
