Maria
__________

I over reacted. I know I did but I panicked. It's stupid, I'm stupid. Why do I have to over react so much it's not even that bad. Lorenzo is nothing like him.

I have trust issues, I know.

I turn off the shower and start getting dressed. I hate hotels because most of them don't have fans and even if I'm freezing cold I can't sleep without the fan on, but because hotels don't have fans I dress in a tank top and shorts.

Okay, plan. I'm gonna go out there and say I'm sorry and that I know I was over reacting. Good. Perfect plan.

I walk out of the bathroom getting ready to do my plan but stop. "I'm-" I pause. "What are you doing?" I ask. He's taking two pillows off the bed and putting them on the floor.

"I'll sleep on the floor, to give you space." He says. Uh, no.

"Don't be stupid. You can sleep in the bed, I might be mad at you but I'm not an asshole that's gonna make you sleep on the hard floor." Good. Wait? I just said I was mad at him. Im not mad. This plan is going to shit.

"Are you sure?" He looks hesitant.

"Yup. Positive." I pat the spot next to me.

He gets up and starts putting the pillows back on the bed then gets in besides me. Great now I don't want to talk. Oh my gosh, I'm horrible at this. Just do it. Do it. Do it. "Goodnight." Not what I wanted to say.

I flip over on my side and turn off the lamp. "Maria."

"Yes."

"Don't go to sleep mad at me." He practically pleads.

"Im not mad."

"But you just said."

"I know what I said." I sigh. "Im not mad though, I was over reacting and I'm sorry. It's just that." I pause, "Efren always wanted my locating to make sure I wasn't out cheating or something so it just freaked me out but still I was over reacting and I shouldn't have." I say flipping over onto my back.

"It's okay, I understand. You could have just told me that though." See he's so understanding. I should have just told him instead of being so over dramatic.

"I know and I should have instead of causing a scene like I did." I apologize.

"Yeah maybe, but I get it, you got freaked out but just know that I wouldn't use it to make sure you were out cheating or something, I would just use it to make sure you're safe. I don't want something bad happen to you." He says.

"Yeah, did you get the tracker on my phone while I was in the shower?" I inquire.

"No, I wanted to make sure you were okay with it before I did it." He admits.

"Okay, I'll put it on tomorrow." I murmur.

"Okay." He says, I can feel his hand, so close to mine.

"Okay." I whisper.

"Okay." He mumbles.

Then I feel him take my hand and clasp it with mine.

"Goodnight Maria." He whispers pulling my hand up and putting a kiss on my hand.

"Goodnight Lorenzo." I whisper back.

He puts my hand back down but doesn't let it go. I close my eyes to try and go to sleep but I can feel him making invisible circles on my hand with his thumb. It's sending shivers all over me.
