Scars Left By Memories - Book II

Reunited

Francisco

The doors opened as Martinez and I stood there, we walked in. Martinez instantly walks over and grabs a shopping car. He turns back towards me a gives me an odd stare.

"Grabbing a shopping cart? I don't think we need that much of stuff." I said, running my fingers through my hair.

"After shopping with Sofia for many times. I learned that you will need a shopping cart unless you know every single item you are going to buy. But we don't." Martinez explains. "During that three month time period after Tristan's death. You and Sage didn't go shopping?"

"Occasionally we did, but she's not the one to pick out what we bought. I did." I admitted. Martinez chuckles.

"You and Sage have such an odd... relationship. Of course I mean in a friend way of course. Unless it's more than that." Martinez replies.

"What do you mean by odd?" I question. Martinez lets out another laugh.

"I mean, you guys never officially confirmed you were ever dating. It's just full of kissing and talking. You probably haven't even taken her virginity yet." Martinez said, but whispered the last sentence.

"She also seems like the type to not make things too official. And you are wrong, I am the first to do it." I reply.

"When?" Martinez ask surprisingly, finally pulling the cart out of the rack area. We pulled it through the entrance and down the walkway, besides the isle.

"The day before she disappeared." I answer. Which I had still felt guilt from.

"And you didn't tell me. That damn long. Come on, I should be the first person you tell." Martinez replies.

"I was too focused on the fact Nikolay was her fucking father." I said. Martinez shook his head and turned down this isle. Which I realized was the personal needs isle.

"How was the period shopping?" Martinez questions.

"Martinez these random questions. What do you want to trade for a day. You take Sage and I'll take Sofia." I suggested.

"No, I am just asking. How was it?" Martinez didn't stop until he got an answer.

"I didn't see it. I just know she bought pads. I am assuming she doesn't like tampons." I answer rolling my eyes.

"Boom." Martinez says dropping a pack of something into the cart. I pick it up. My eyes widened at the product. I was about to throw it back onto the shelf when Martinez threw himself in front of me.

"What the hell Martinez." I said throwing the box of condoms in his face. But that's when I realized. I never told Martinez what happened with Sage.

"Eventually, you and Sage will do it. Who knows if you forget to buy it. Just let me help you out." Martinez replies with a smile on his face.

"Maybe Sage and I won't be able to do it. Ever. Not again." I said negatively as I put the box of condoms back onto the shelf.

"What? Why?" Martinez said pulling the cart besides him down the isle, exiting the isle.

"Don't react to so big, but while Sage was at the Russian's estate. Something went down with her and Marco. He ended up raping her. Now don't make a big fuss about it right now. Tonight we can during the meetings." I answer.

"Those fucking Russian's. We will make sure that will kill every single one of them. But we will Save Marco till the end." Martinez replies in his stern tone.

Sliding my key card down the lock on my penthouse door. The green lights flash. I turn the doorknob and open the door. It was dark and the only thing that could be heard was the air condition.

"Where's the girls?" Martinez questions. I shrugged, also in confusion.

I walked over to the table besides the door and turned on the lamp. I noticed there was a paper tent on the coffee table in the living room. I pick it up from the table.

We didn't know when you guys were coming back. So we decided to go out and grab some food. But hopefully we will meet you guys there. ~Sage.

"I'll go get dressed and we can head over to the event. They'll hopefully meet us there." I acknowledged Martinez. He nodded his head in approval.

I walked over to my bedroom and closed the door behind me. I walk over to my closet, opening the door. I grabbed a white dress shirt and some black dress pants with some fancy shoes to finish my outfit off.

Sage
Thirty Minutes Later

Sofia takes the key from the ignition, stopping at the huge white building. Which seemed to be made of marble. One of my favorite designs.

"The guys will be here eventually. For now, let's go in and greet some people. Many of the members and family of them, have been waiting to meet you." Sofia replies. A simply smile grew on my face.

"Really?" I question, to be sure if she was being serious.

"Of course. You are pretty famous, because of your age, along with how you and Francisco are a thing." Sofia answers. I had intervene on her statement.

"Francisco and I?" I chuckled, but quickly brought myself back to my resting face. "Just good friends, nothing more. I think Francisco and I would be better as friends than anything else."

"Not true. Anyone who knew you and Francisco well enough, would know that you two are more than friends." Sofia replies, placing her hands on my stomach. "Martinez and I denied it, until everyone saw how close we got."

"Well you and Martinez are different. You two even have a baby coming on the way." I said. Sofia shook her head with a smile still on her face.

"Tonight, I bet you and Francisco will reveal true emotions and feelings towards each other. Good and bad, or perhaps even both." Sofia predicted.

"Let's just go in and greet some people." I suggested to get off this topic. Sofia had a smile on her face as we both got out. Our heels clicking across the floor.

Maybe Sofia was right.
