Love on the road

Chapter nineteen

I sat in my sofa with a Pink Panther drink and a bowl with chips as my mom made Gambas al Ajillo in the kitchen. I sat and watched a movie when we heard the doorbell rang. I was about to get up when mom stopped me.

"No Hija, let me dear" She said and walked to the door as I sat back down and took a sip of my drink. Then I saw in the corner of my eye that mom came back but she had a worried look. Martina came in and rushed over to me and hugged me tight. I had no time to react and just stod there then I felt her lips against my neck and I blushed.

"Ma- Martina what are you doing" I tried to push her away but she just kept her head in my neck breathing heavily.

"please.. I need you amore.. I love you." She whispered into my neck and I felt my heart skipping a beat. I brushed my hands on her back and felt my tears start to form.

"i.. I-" I was cut of by the door slamming open and in came Nova and her wife. Rushed twords us and I stepped in front of Martina.

"No it's. ot what it looks like!" I shoted out and mom realized the situation and was about to stop them from coming inside but Novas wife puched her back and Nova came in between them.

"stay away from her! she is my son friend and i don't want you close! you are so extremely bad for her" The Wife shouted and pointed at Martina and who held my hand tight behind me.

"baby, calm down. she is just like me. and she knows who she is now! let them talk" Nova stepped in front of her wife and held her hand up.

"no! she is dangerous!"

"so are you my love! and i can handle it!" Nova raised her voice and the wife looked down for the first time in Novas eyes and nodded slowly and Nova gave her wife a kiss on the cheek.

"let them talk Dahlia..." Nova said softly and Dahlia nodded slowly and stepped back. Nova nodded at us to go outside and talk and I opened the door and went out hand in hand with Martina.

"Talk" I said and turned around and faced Martina.

"Look, I love you with all my heart and I hate my dad for forcing me into the mafia.. I didn't want this life I swear mi amore" She pleaded and took my hand and brought it up to her face and kissed it softly. I nodded understanding.

"okey, but is there someway to go out of the mafia, like leave it?" I asked and brushed her cheek and she leaned into my touch.

"It won't be easy my love... But I will try to talk to him and if he doesn't like it I will leave it with force" She said and smiled softly and I gave back a smile and kissed her lips softly.

"but please don't ever do That to me ever again" I said with a straight face and she nodded and kissed me again.

"I trust you Martina" I said and she hugged me
tight.

"I will never hurt you again mi amore" She whispered into my neck and I dug my nails in her back as she lifted me up a little from the ground.

All I can do is trust her from now on

When we walked back into the house I saw Dahlia apologizing to my mother and my mom just smiled and handed them both a cup of coffee. I smiled.

My mom it truly amazing

"Are you guys okey now love?" My mom said and nodded to us I nodded and held Martina's hand.

"we're okey now mom" I smiled and she nodded.

"could I have a word with her?" She asked and pointed at Martina and I looked up to her and Martina nodded and let my hand go. I saw them walk into the kitchen for some privacy I guess. But it is an open kitchen so we all walked into the living room to give them more privacy.
Nova came up to me and asked if I was okey, Dahlia followed her wife.

"Are you sure?" She asked and I just nodded.

"Yeah we talked and I said I will trust her from now on, but that she will never force me to...or... use me like...you know.." I said and looked down and Nova hugged me and nodded.

"You are so brave Esme" She said and I saw Dahila nod in agreement but with no smile. I hugged her tightly back.

"Thanks for your help" I said into her neck and she petted my head.

"You should thank youself" She said and pulled away and wiped away a tear from my cheek. I nodded and gave a little smile.

~~~~~~~~~~Mothers Perspective~~~~~~~

We went into the kitchen and I turned around towards the woman called Martina.

"So why my daughter?" I put my hands on my each side of my hips and tried a glare.

"well I love her with all my heart and she's truly beautiful woman" Martina smiled at me but I didn't trust her.

"so you hurt her and break her heart not ones but two times?" I asked and Martina lost her smile and looked ashamed down on the floor.

"Yeah, I know all about you" I hissed a little and she nodded understanding.

Don't go soft on her! It's for you daughter!

She looked like she was about to cry and I felt my heart drop. I sighed out.

ohh... dios no tengo el corazón frío

"I don't know why she loves you or what she sees in you... But if your her lover I will support her" I said finally and stepped up to her and lifted her head and smiled.

"if you love her that much then I have to ask you to promise me that you will protect her at all cost, and don't hurt her ever again because I will come with my spatula and make tamales out of you!" She nodded and held out her hand wanting a hand shake. I shook my head and smiled.

"no querido" I said and smiled and gave her a big hug.

"If your going to be in this family you have do more hugging deary" I whispered and I slowly felt two hands on my back. Like she have never had someone's mother or a mother at all hold her like this. She almost tripped us over with all the weight she put on us. I had to take a small step back for more balance as I shushed her sniffles into my chest.

"oh corazon" I whispered and patted her back as i felt my shoulder was getting wet from all the tears.

who hurt this woman..?
