"... how are you holding up?.."

"I'm okay uncle Raphy..." Lucia said letting him in. "I'm just thankful to you and Aunt Tamia.."

"You know we are always here for you." He smiled. "Is there anything that you need help with... groceries, bills...

"No I'm good, honestly..." she said.

"Hadyn?

"Hadyn?..."
She looked at him.
"You seem surprised that I said his name?..."

"Well, yes... and why do you say his name?." She said nervously drumming her fingernails on the kitchen worktop.

"Tamia told me you kissed him...
Lucia rolled her eyes and then closed them feeling the shame rise once again.
"You need to understand a lil something about Hadyn.. he is not yo average type of man... he is not a 9 to 5 office type like you either... his world will blow yo world apart..."

"In what way?." She asked him, her brow furrowed.

"He owns businesses and a multi million dollar organisation... none of these businesses you would see on business socials..." he said with sarcasm. "I'm yo uncle and I love you and I just need to give you a heads up so that if you continue to pursue him and he's what you really want, you're not caught off guard..."

"I had a funny feeling uncle... with the type of man that he portrays himself to be... and as you said I kissed him, and embarrassed myself in the process... I'm fully not expecting to see him for a while..."

He sniggered. "Then you don't know him at all... trust me, he will be back... and I am happy for you to date him... I know that you're a responsible girl and you know right from wrong, but if you do need me or he becomes too much then you need to call me straight away... is that clear?."

"Yes uncle," she replied.

As Diego left, she picked up the card with Hadyn's number on it. She chewed her lips nervously before she took out her phone and text him.

Hi It's Lucia, I was wondering if you were busy. I don't really feel like going out but I would like to see you. I have some explaining to do after the other night.

She quickly put her phone down her heart beating fast and hard in her chest. She was glad of the distraction when the doorbell rang. She walked over to the door and opened up to see Dolores. "Oh hey." She said surprised to see her alone on her doorstep.

Dolores just pushed on through as if she owned the place. "I hope you're okay after your mother's passing.."

"I'm okay thank you... I'm getting there..

"Good.. umm.. now, I have an issue Dean Johnson... and you didnt do what you were supposed to do...

"Excuse me.. didn't do what I was supposed to do?.. what was I supposed to do?." Lucia said to her.
