Mi Salvador

Hypocrite

Ascella's POV
I wrote quickly in my notebook during Criminal Justice. Everyone's heads turned to the door when someone walked in. I looked up and saw Liv and Amanda. They spoke quickly to the teacher before he spoke, "Hank Dulay, Ascella Amaro, and Ethan Laferriere."
Hank and I looked to each other and we got up, stepping outside. Amanda showed her badge with Liv, "We're investigating Manor Hill and all of you have close connections. Ascella, we can't reach Charlie or Nash."
I nodded and we accompanied them to the precinct. I sat at my dad's desk and called Charlie.
"Ascella?"
"Hey...um, can you come down to the precinct?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's about Manor Hill."
"On my way."
I sighed, Nash didn't answer his personal or work phone. My dad came out from one of the rooms with Hank. They both looked tired and bothered.
I got up, "Hank-"
"I'll see you tomorrow." He walked out and I looked to my dad.
"Um, Charlie's coming..."
He nodded and smiled weakly. We sat together, waiting. I saw Charlie walk in with Nash, causing me to stand. Nash kissed my cheek gently and Charlie hugged my cautiously. We haven't talked in how many months...
"Nash, Charlie, if you could come with me." My dad got up and lead them to a room. I sat back down and tapped my pen gently. A hand travelled to my shoulder, causing me to look up. Rafael Barba stood there with tired eyes. I stood up and hugged him.
"Seems like you really miss me..."
"I'm kinda bored at school." I grinned. We pulled away and looked around. I saw Enzo walk in with Tanner and rushed to him.
"What are you doing here? it's your day with Tanner."
"I was told you were here, I got worried."
I cleared my throat and lead him to Rafael.
"Enzo, my boss: Rafael Barba. Counsellor, my boyfriend: Enzo Cooke." I grabbed Tanner from him, "And his son Tanner." I cooed, rubbing his nose on mine.

Rafael's POV
I watched as Ascella held Tanner close. My heart beat faster seeing her again. It's been near a month and a half now since we saw each other. Enzo turned to Ascella, "Let's get out of here."
She nodded and looked to me, "It's good to see you again, Rafael..."
"You too, Ms. Amaro." I straightened up and cleared my throat. Jesus, I fucking miss this woman. After we did everything, I went back to my office. I sat there, after hours, thinking about Ascella instead of doing my work. I missed her so much. I miss seeing her every morning and night. I miss her bringing me coffee and files. I miss watching her do write ups. I miss the way she smiled, the way she looked at me, the way she moved...I miss her touch and scent. Pull yourself together, Rafael. I got up and went to my window, looking at the bright streets due to all the busy buildings. The city that never sleeps...perfect. I went to lock my door so no one could disturb me while I do my write ups, then sat back down in my seat. Thinking about Ascella has made me feel...needy and frustrated. I groaned and plopped my head onto my desk on top of the files.
"Fuck me." Oh how badly I wanted that. I sighed and picked up my pen, starting to write. After an hour or so, my phone buzzed. I looked to see a text from Ascella.

Mi Reina: It was good
seeing you today, Rafi.

I huffed and tried to ignore it, but the glowing light of the phone mocked me. I picked up the phone to reply, but another message popped up.

Mi Reina: I love you...

Fuck.

I love you too, cariño.

Ascella's POV
I waited in the car as Enzo dropped Tanner off back to Maya. She and I have talked a bit, but not into a full conversation. It was extremely awkward when we were together. I understood completely. If my dad came home with a new girlfriend, I'd be a bit uncomfortable. I pulled out my phone, seeing if Rafael had texted anything else. I know I shouldn't be texting him and I shouldn't have said I loved him, but seeing him today really got to me...it was another 10 minutes before Enzo walked back out, putting his jacket back on. He got into the driver's seat and smiled, "Wanna hang at my house?"
I nodded gently and turned on the radio as he drove. Once we got there, we were curled up on the couch, watching "Halloweentown". Halloween is coming soon, I wonder what Zara is doing this year with Maria...
SMUT WARNING
I glanced at my phone before Enzo grabbed my face and kissed me hungrily. He lifted me onto his lap and kissed down my neck, causing me to laugh. He pulled away and our noses touched gently.
"You're so fucking beautiful."
"Thank you, Ra..." Oh shit. "-diante..."
"What?"
"Radiante...radiance."
"You think I'm radiant?"
"Very..." I felt my tension go away as he smiled and kissed my neck. Fuckity fuck, he has to get out of my head before I accidentally moan his name. I took off my shirt and started to unbutton his. He picked me up and brought me to his bedroom. Enzo moaned into my skin, pinning me against the wall and pushing against my core. He then placed me on the bed and kissed up my thighs. I moaned gently as he undid my pants and pushed them down my legs.
"Mm..."
"I love you, Maya."
I stopped and moved, causing him to lose contact. He looked up and furrowed his brows.
"Ella-"
"Um..." I fixed my pants, "I should go..."
"I didn't mean to-"
"Look, Enzo, it's fine." I sighed and grabbed my coat before walking to the door, "I'll see you later..."
"Ascella."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight..."
I walked out of his apartment complex and pulled out my phone. While on the curb, I opened my messages to Rafael.

I need you right now|
I need you righ|

I sighed and dialled my dad.
"Hey, baby, You okay?"
"Could you pick me up?"
"I thought you were with Enzo?"
"Something happened..."
"Okay, tell me where you are, I'm on my way."
He hung up and i stood there in the cold, feeling immense pain and guilt in my chest. I may be taking this wrong, but Enzo was taking a while back at Maya's...
Oh, who am I to say anything. I almost called him Rafael! I'm such a fucking hypocrite. Before I knew it, my dad pulled up. I got in and sighed, buckling up. We drove and Dad hummed gently before breaking the silence.
"What's up? What happened?"
"Nothing."
"Ascella..."
I looked at him and sighed, "Have you...have you ever dealt with cheating partners?"
"Ascella, you know I'm the wrong person to ask that."
"Dad, please?" I begged gently. He looked at me and sighed, "Well, we've had cases where a woman said she was raped by a man, but that man has a wife or girlfriend and said wife/girlfriend takes their partners side because they don't believe he cheated."
I nodded and it got quiet again as I thought about the recent events before blurting out, "If you had another chance with Maria, would you take it?" I looked to him. He furrowed his brows and bit his lip.
"Would you want that?"
"If I weren't in the picture. Just for the sake of feelings...would you?"
He sighed and nodded, "yes."
I nodded and looked forward, "I think Enzo is cheating on me because Maya is giving him another chance..."
"What'd he do?"
"Moaned her name? Took an extremely long time in her house today..."
"Then confront him soon. Don't wait. Don't follow him either."
I looked at him and sighed, "Thank you..."
