MICHAEL'S POV
The screams of my brother are quickly muffled as his hospital room door closes, a loud click indicates his door is locked. I feel tears emerge in my eyes and I quickly look up at the ceiling and fight back the tears.
You are not going to cry, no llores.
One tear really tries to escape so I just close my eyes to avoid actually crying.
I will not cry
I take a deep breath and I hear heels click I look up and my Tía came out of the bathroom, bits of mascara on her cheek.
"Come here mijo dame un abrazo," she says and pulls me in for a hug and I stiffen. It doesn't matter how much you hate physical touch, the Mexican culture never understands boundaries. I force myself to hug her back.
"Everything will be okay," I say as I pull out of the hug. The sounds of my brother's scream emerge once my Tío exits Joseph's room and I hear the agonizing sound of the lock clicking.
"We're doing what's best Camilla," my Tío says, she nods.
"Apologies," a voice says and we all glance up at the Doctor.
Dr. fucking Dean Owens. He smiles as he walks up to us.
" The insurance isn't going through," he starts and I interrupt.
" We'll pay out of pocket, he needs the help," I say.
" Michael," my Tía says and Dean clears his throat.
" I appreciate that; however, I'll have my best technician Briar, I believe you met her, call the insurance for you and I'm sure she will sort it all out, she's great at what she does, phenomenal actually, in the meantime, I'm not charging for anything quite yet, I truly feel for Joseph's situation," he says.
Fucking prick. I didn't like him.
The way he interacted with Briar made me wonder if he was something more than her boss. Had he had the privilege to fuck her? Had he made her moan and squirm the way I intend to? Had he kissed her?
There was something about Briar I liked, a true infatuation I had with that little abeja. I saw her and I knew I'd fuck her. And she'd enjoy it. I couldn't help but stare at her ass in those scrubs the entire time she was here. And here fucking Dean is, it's clear the two have some sort of relationship or attraction toward one another, and for whatever reason, it made me mad. It made me want to fuck her brains out till she forgot all about Dean.
" Michael," my Tío says. The filthy thoughts of everything I wanted to do to Briar were interrupted.
"Sí," I say.
" Can you be the point of contact for Jose since you're closer?" he asks. I clear my throat.
" Of course," I say and Dean just looks at me with a smug smile. Fucker.
"Great, so I can have Briar email you the forms and we will be all set, I'll send her a reminder shortly," he says.
" I can just call her," I say, Dean looks surprised when I say this and opens his mouth and makes a face.
" You know Briar?" Dean asks.
" I do," I state and I stare him down.
" No need to reach out, it's a work thing and we wouldn't want to stress out a Ph.D. candidate now would we?" he asks.
" No, Dean, we wouldn't," I say and he just looks at me and gives a little laugh, and nods.
" You can visit Joseph as often as you'd like, I'll have Ashley or Briar send you the office's guest hours, however, I will tell you the first three weeks of detox are the most painful and some of the things that are said or done by the patient tend to be hurtful," he states.
