Wife You Up (Completed Short Story)

21• Papa and Nana

  
  
 
I may be wrong for calling him, but how can I tell my fiance that his father hates me an intentionally poured wine on me when the male restroom is way on the other side.

Still, Reinaldo was worried and came to find me while I was still on the call with Papa and tears soaked on my cheeks.

"Baby?" He called from outside the door.

"I'm safe." I answered.

"We want to use the restroom, so why is she still locked up in there?" One of the few females who has been knocking asked him.

"Zay love, are you able to open the door?" He inquired.

"Let them in dearest, I'm at the entrance coming in for you." Papa spoke, so I hummed and got up from the sink, walking over and unlocked the door.

The females rushed in and looked at me shocked at my appearance before they went into the stalls.

I went out to Reinaldo and just as he opened his mouth to say something, he was speechless. Eyeing me with disbelief before he held me close.

"What happened? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I can't tell you." I cried, holding my head down.

He lifts my chin and opens his mouth to speak but disturbance from the party had him turning his head.

"Baby." He said, turning back to me and wiping my tears away with his thumb. "Please, what happened?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but I have to go." I cried. "I'm sorry, I really am, but I need to go with papa. I called him to come for me."

Confused, worried and speechless, he gave up and sighed. Holding me close and kissing my head.

"I don't know what happened, but I'll be checking the cameras after you go and I swear. I'll be feeding my fist to anyone who did this to you. I... I shouldn't have let you come alone. I shouldn't even let you come here." He groaned with anger, holding me closer as I melt into his touch.

"Granddaughter?" Papa called and Naldo let's go of me.

"I'm here." I answered.

He came around, his walking stick echoing and his security details only a step behind.

Papa looked at Reinaldo and smiled. "My boy, don't worry about her tonight but I'll update you when we get home."

"Thank you." He tells him, passing me over.

Papa looked at me from head to toe and looks hurt at my appearance.

"No more crying, dearest. Let's get you home." He says, making a gesture and Michael his main security brought a hooded coat to cover me with.

He held me close as we walked out, but I can tell that Reinaldo was following.

The great hall was quiet and I know everyone was there and looking at us as papa escorted me out.

"Xyella!" Miss Camila called.

"Mom, a minute." Reinaldo spoke, going to speak with his mom.

I got to see him when I was seated in papa's car. He came to the window and pushed his head in, kissing me right on the lips.

"I love you, Xyella."

"I love you too, Reinaldo." I smiled softly, waving as the car pulling off.

I drew up the window and turned to papa who was already looking. Then I sighed.

"Wherever you're ready, dearest."

"I saw Paul." I blurted and he gat up quickly.

"Inside?"
