No Ordinary Love

Chapter 96

***NOT EDITED***

Martha was pacing nervously. The party was to be in a couple of days and yet there was no sign of Zayra.

Zayra had called and spoke to Martha a few days ago, promising she'd be there today. She knew it was early but still...

Her father wasn't aware of the surprise birthday party she was having for him. At least not yet. He would soon find out once the house was decorated. Her mother looked at her and smiled.

"Zayra called and said that she should be at the airport in an hour. Do you want to get her or do you want Mario to do it?"

"Can you send Mario. I have a couple of calls to make Ama."

"Okay."

She walked away and Martha felt sudden relief flooding. She knew that Zayra was in trouble with the family but in the meantime she wanted this done for her father.

He had been stressed out the past few months with everything that she wanted him to sit, relax and enjoy his birthday for once.

Thank you Zayra, she said mentally at having her come through. She looked for her cousin Roman, there was a couple of things she needed him to do now that he was the C.E.O. she looked for him and couldn't find him. She asked the staff around and was surprised to see Mario sitting down reading.

"Mario, aren't you going to pick up Zayra?"

He looked embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Uhm, Senor Roman said he would do that himself."

Fuck!

"Oh no." she groaned. She knew there was trouble again with them two, she hoped and prayed that Zayra or Roman didn't do something stupid.

"Thanks Mario."

Damn it Roman.

*******

Zayra walked to get her luggage expecting to see Mario but who did she see instead.

Roman!

She cursed her bad luck. She didn't want to deal with him right now. She just wanted to go home, shower and sleep. This fucking flu she had caught somewhere was killing her.

She saw his face, he was looking at her up and down, his eyes dark. She grabbed her bags and didn't put up a fight when he grabbed them from her. She just rolled her eyes and moved quickly out of the airport. She knew where they parked their vehicle so didn't have to wait up for him.

Asshole brought her favorite car too.

He asked her a question but she ignored him. She was there for Martha, oh and Dona Lourdes and his mom and Daniella but that was it. After the party, she was taking off again to L.A. She had asked Emily to help her look for an apartment.

She jumped in the passenger seat as he put her bags away. Once he sat inside she saw Roman grip the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white.

"Zayra, are you just going to ignore me?"

"Yes, that's the plan."

He rubbed his jaw trying to ease the tension. He started the car and drove off angrily from the airport.

He had to breath, she was back and that's all that he had wanted and prayed for. But now that she was there it wasn't enough.

She didn't look good and wondered if she was back on drugs. He saw her color changing and her breathing coming in short puffs.
