-"Harry please... let's just go"- She said. Her hand was on top of mine carefully trying to take the gun from me.

-"Are you scared?"- I asked taking the gun in my other hand, away from her. She was breathing heavily, turning her head slightly to look at Chris's car before answering.

-"No"-  She answered, and somehow, I believed her.

-"Then?"- I asked her, checking my gun was ready to fire if necessary. 

-"Harry, sometimes you need to think before you act and this is one of those times, they're more than us, and we just have a gun, and unlike movies bullets are not infinite"- She explained her reasons. 

-"I know"- I whispered. My eyes were locked on the rearview, taking in every one of his movements. He was waiting for me.

Waiting for me to get out and do something, he knew he had the upper hand here. And if did the wrong thing he would win. But as always he just waited, too much of a coward to attack.

-"Please let's just go... don't let them kill me before I... like... I don't know how to translate that..."

-"What?"- I asked, finally turning to look at her. 

-"Is there a word for that"- she seemed to be thinking hard. -"Like when you... like..."

-"Have sex?"- I asked, genuinely trying to figure out what she meant. Her eyes went wide but then her beautiful smile appeared on her face, showing two dimples.

-"No!"- She said still chuckling, covering her face with her hands.-"I mean like the word you use for... like... when you buy clothes and use them for the first time, like for holidays, your mom buys you the best clothes, you know? god, like, "estrenar", I don't know how to translate that. Fuck!"- She started to get frustrated which made me chuckle a little. -"Ok listen, like when you buy clothes, really good clothes, like you love it, doesn't matter what kind of clothes, you like wanted it and you have it, so you put them on, you "estrenas" them, let's say in Christmas or new year"- She started to get exited while I just sat there confused and amused with her energy. -"So you fucking slay, like "don't touch me, this is new", you know what I mean, like you're there looking like a damn snack, and your grandma knows it, and she's like"oh you look so beautiful" and you're like "I know because I'm estrenando"- My chuckle became a full loud laugh as she explained the word, making funny faces, and moving her head to make her hair move as well every time she said "estrenando". -"And then they're like Your favorite clothes, because that's what you wanted and you have it, and you wear it for the first day of school and everything, but just that day, because your mom won't let you use them that much, cause' they're new, so now they're for a special occasion, you know? Do you know? You have to know"-

-"No, I don't,"- I said, still laughing.

-"Come on, that's the best explanation I've said in my life"

-"I can't deny that"

-"So, I just want to "estrenar" all of my new clothes, please let's go"

Her word reminded me of the reason for my anger and why I still had the gun in my hand. I looked back to see that Chris's car was gone.

-"Well, I think you'll have time to "strenr" your clothes... they're gone"

-"I know"- She said with a shy smile.-"Please let's just go"

I could see the worry in her eyes, she basically knew nothing about what was going on. She had no idea who he was and what our deal was. so I started the car to make our way home.

After a few minutes of me driving and her absently looking out of the window the silence bothered me. Silence and Davina were never together.

-"You tricked me"- I pointed out.
