In The Heart Of Her Mind.

The Kind Of Laugh A Guy Would Love To Hear.

I was in pain. My heart was in my stomach, or at least, somewhere in that region. I couldn't fathom out the words to even call her out for what she made me do. I couldn't even stand still.

"See! That wasn't so bad. You don't have to be such a pussy about it." Carmen tapped my shoulder causing me to nearly fall off of the railing I held on to.

"You, fucking..." I start before feeling the little breakfast I had in the morning rush back up.

"Hey take it easy we have like six more of those to get on." She tugged my arm earning a pained groan from me.

"Uhh CJ, I think he's not well enough for another ride. Not to talk of six more."

"Yeah, Carmen I think you should just let him sit down or maybe call it a day?"

Her friends suggested, being completely reasonable.

"Nah, isn't that the face of an overly enthusiastic child or what?" I heard Angela say before she added another tap my my back where Carmen had previously hit sending me straight to the ground with breakfast spilling out of my mouth soon after.

"Fuck." I heard Carmen say and quickly handed me a couple tissues and a bottle of water before signaling Yuri to help get me up along with her.

"I guess we'll try the other rides some other time. I'll see you guys later." She said as she walked us to her car. "Please don't regurgitate in my ride."

"You nearly killed me tonight. You cooking up something for me to eat really isn't a creative second choice knowing I won't even go near it." I said to her as I laid on my couch not enjoying her company.

"Just shut up. It'll make you feel better." She handed me a bowl of the soup looking dish along with a bottle of water.

"I didn't even know I had the ingredients to make this shit." I said before sniffing it.

"Did you have fun today? I mean, despite getting all that vomit out of your system and nearly going for round two in my car." She said sounding every bit serious.

My eyebrows furrowed.

"It was okay. I like being tortured by five women and screaming on big boy rides." I tasted the soup and sighed when it tasted edible.

"C'mon It wasn't that bad, your screams were more of manly screams. And do you have any idea how wrong that just sounded? I never pegged you for a submissive guy." She laughed at me. It was the kind of laugh any guy would love to hear over and over. It only reminded me of the only laugh I wanted to hear. And soon after, Angela's words engulfing my mind once again. Making me drop the bowl of soup I didn't even know I had nearly finished, back on the coffee table.

"What is it?" She asked. Her eyes shifting from me to the bowl.

"You should leave now. I'm tired and you probably are too." I start.

"It's cool Delgado. I'm not doing anything tonight anyway." She shrugged her shoulders and sat on the couch next to me.

"Your boyfriend is probably waiting for you." I say and she laughs. Not like how she did before and this time she confused me.

"Who Elijah? He's probably got some bitch keeping him company tonight." My eyes grew wide at the sudden news I had just heard.
