I got up early in the morning and showered. After getting ready I made some breakfast for Saul.

I put it on a tray and took it to the bedroom. Saul was watching T.V. "Hey baby I made you some breakfast" I said while giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks" he side smiled. He took a bite out of his turkey bacon. "Where are you going?" "I'm going out to get some coffee with my coworker"

"Oh okay when will you be back?" "In about 2 hours or so? I promise I won't be long" I checked the time on my phone. "But if I want to be back soon I must go now so I'll see you then do you need anything else before I leave?" "No I'm good" he said in a stern voice. "Ok"

I squeezed his arm before leaving and gave him a smile. He returned a faint one. I walked away teary eyed.

Me and Theo sat at a table that was right by the window.

"So what are you going to order?" Theo asked me. "Um I don't know I'm thinking some tea" "good choice" "why do you say that?"

"Isn't it obvious since I'm British?" I laughed a little at how slow I was. "You are in fact correct"

We ordered and started talking and getting to know each other a little more. "So Theo lets start their .. what's your full name?"

"Theodore Eaton" "Theodore." I said while nodding my head. "I like that" "thank you"

"so Theodore what got you in the modeling business and also why Michael Kors and not Burberry or Alexander McQueen?

"well it was something I always wanted to do and here I am going after it, as for brands this is definitely just a stepping stone for me but I hope to work with those iconic English brands soon.

"that's good well let me just say that i'm proud of you. I don't know what it is but when someone tells me about their dreams and how they're out chasing them I feel proud of them whether I know them or don't" "well that's very supportive of you" "you're welcome" we talked for about an hour or so and we were getting really into the conversation but I wasn't comfortable staying longer knowing Saul was at home injured and needing me.

"well Theo today was fun but I must get back to taking care of my boyfriend." "Taking care? oh what happened?" "he injured his ankle while boxing but his recovery has been going well" "oh okay well hope he's doing better now" "he is thank you I guess I'll see you around at work?" he smiled and gave me a goodbye hug.

Saul's POV

My recovery process was going great. All I wanted at this point was to be able to get back to what I love doing. Boxing.

Since I couldn't really do what I loved doing I was a little moody and I hated it because I felt myself lashing out on Jamie for no good reason and I know she notices too. I needed to apologize. I could hear her sniffling last night which only meant she was crying. I should have held her but my mind wasn't thinking straight.

I slowly got out of bed and grabbed my crutches. I went to the kitchen and was about to make myself a protein shake when the doorbell rang. Annoyed I quickly made my way to the door with the help of my crutches.

I opened the door to reveal my brother Ricardo. "what are you doing here?" "nice to see you too Saul, I came because I wanted to know if you broke up with Jamie?" "no why do you say that?" "well because of this...." he showed me a picture of Jamie kissing some other guy.

I was livid. How could she do this to me? Was I not enough for her anymore? "I don't know what to say .. this can't be real?" "Oh it's real alright when I saw it I couldn't believe my eyes either but I'm here for you bro. As blood we gotta stick together and not let these women disrespect us" "yeah I don't want to see her right now, let me crash at your place"

"Alright let me help you, hey you don't mind if I have a girl coming over to chill do you?" "No tell her to bring a friend because as of right now I'm done with Jamie"

Jamie's POV

On my way home I got a call from Nicole.

Jamie: Hey Nicole what's up
Nicoles: Come home now!
Jamie: ok I'm on my way

Her tone of voice sounded serious which scared me and made me anxious to get to our apartment. I got to our door and immediately opened it. "Explain to me this" She showed me a picture of me and Theo hugging but it seemed as if we were kissing.

I laughed. "Oh that .." "Yes this. Why are you laughing this is serious and not at all funny" "it really isn't we were just hugging but by the angle it makes it look like something else was going on"

"Are you sure Jamie you know I'm your best friend and you can tell me anything" "bible Nicole it was just a hug" "okay baby girl be careful because if I got like that over this picture imagine Saul" "Yeah you're right I'm going to have to show him and explain that it was just a hug. I don't want him thinking otherwise"

Canelo's POV

Honestly right now I was so hurt. I felt betrayed. All I wanted was to get numb. "I need a drink what do you have?"

"Henny, Grey Goose, Tanqueray-.." "You got some tequila?" "Yes I was just about to get there brother" he fixed up the drinks and handed me mine. "Seriously with a chaser?"
"Why not Saul? the night is young, let's take it slow"

"Fuck the night and fuck the chaser" I got up and got the bottle and started drinking straight from it. Minutes later I heard the doorbell ring. Ricardo got up and answered it.

I was honestly feeling good to the point I had no pain physically or mentally. I threw my crutches to the side and welcomed the women that walked in.

Music was playing, my mind was hazy, my eyesight was blurry, my words were slurred, the night was young as Ricardo said and I didn't care about anything or anybody, not even myself.
