His Tesoro (MxM)

Chapter 88

Stefano

I couldn't breathe, I just stood frozen between a calm and collected Luke and a very confused Hewitt, well not completely confused, but very furious, I could literally feel the anger oozing off him from where I stood.

"It's really you... Fuck.." he whispered taking a step closer to me and I took one back, almost stumbling as I shuddered

"Stay back" I whispered, feeling my throat burn and my eyelids sting with unshed tears, I didn't know why I had suddenly lost my nerve but I couldn't even move a muscle and my chest was constricting with pain, hurt, heartbreak and everything else I could feel at this moment as I stared at the man I once called my best friend
"What are you doing here"? I croaked out, hating how weak I was, I had imagined this meeting a million times in my head, but I never thought it'll ever happen and definitely not like this.

"I came to see you" he whispered, I just scoffed and shook my head

"Stef, what's going on"? Hewitt asked beside me, stepping even closer to me "is this him"? He asked and without looking at him I just nodded, knowing he was asking if Luke was the best friend that had betrayed me

"Stef...." Before he could complete his words, Hewitt was already stepping between us and blocking me from seeing him

"You have a lot of nerves showing up in front of him and acting like you didn't do anything" Hewitt glowered, even though he wasn't as tall as Luke, he was still pretty intimidating, glaring hard at Luke

Luke frowned and cocked his brows "and who the fuck are you"? He asked back and Hewitt just scoffed

"A better friend than you'll ever be, so I suggest you get the fuck out of here before I actually give in to the urge to bash your face in" Hewitt gritted out

"What are you? His body guard"? Luke mocked as he sneered at Hewitt, I wanted to say something, I wanted to step up but I couldn't even move at all.

I know if they kept going like this, they'd start throwing punches, and I didn't want anyone fighting my battles for me, but I know Hewitt would do more than that.

"Stick around and you might just find out" Hewitt said hoarsely, standing toe to toe with Luke, I could feel the anger and tension in the air, I wrapped my hand around Hewitt's wrist as I slowly pulled him towards me, my whole body was shaking and I think that kind of pulled Hewitt out of the little war he was in with Luke

"Hewitt, let's just go" I whispered and he turned to look at me, his features softening and my eyes moved up and rested on Luke too and I swear he was mirroring Hewitt's reaction, but I didn't pay much attention to him

"You okay"? Hewitt whispered, stepping closer to me, I just swallowed and tried to call my racing heart

"I'm fine, I just want to go home" I whispered out, God I hate how weak I sound right now, I sound pathetic, and my father wasn't even here, it was just Luke.

Hewitt nodded and wanted to lead me away towards my apartment building when Luke stepped forward
"Stef..." Before he even finished his sentence, Hewitt was quick to shove him away, causing him to stumble back
"What the hell man, why don't you let him speak for himself" Luke snapped as he glared at Hewitt, I just looked at him briefly and looked away

"Leave Luke, I don't want to see you, and if my father sent you, you can tell him the same thing" without waiting for him to respond, I walked away from him pulling Hewitt with me as we made our way back to my apartment building, with my whole body shaking vigorously and my heart thumping, so many thoughts running wild in my head as I tried to quickly get home, I was so close to breaking down and I didn't want to do that outside, where there were still a few passers-by.
