Love or Revenge

3

Devin's POV
Okay so even though I hated the idea of having a girl, I bought food for a total stranger at the diner, what was happening to me?
I chuckled at myself because this was new and I had never gotten involved with a woman, it wasn't in the nature of his job..

It was too risky to keep a woman with what I do but I was ready to take a chance, maybe this is fate like I said..
But my conscience told me this wasn't a good thing to do but I brushed it off, how can love hurt and it isn't even love I hardly knew her..

*Next day*

Next day of school went slow as possible, Elisa had ignored Devin's calls and texts, she didn't need distraction at all. She was in school to achieve something, to study hard and find her parents killer or killers at the end of the day..
She wished she never entered the class as soon as she spotted Devon, she cursed under her breath and it was as if God was working against her for the only seat left was right next to Devin.

He passed a note to her, _why have you been ignoring me?_ She pretended not to see and focused on the class.

After class Devin rushed to Elisa and held her hand, she broke free and was about walking away when Devin held her waist, she shuddered... Such weird feeling she thought.
"What do you want Devin?" she asked coldly and as if he was a bother.
"What happened Elisa, you don't answer my calls nor texts and you are ignoring me" he sounded hurt.
"Well buying someone dinner doesn't mean you own them or can have sex with them, sorry I have to go" she angrily spat out..
"Whoa whoa whoa!! What? Elisa what the fu--?" He was surprised and shook, "look I didn't get you food so we can fuck or anything, why so defensive and cold when you were happy we hung out yesterday?" he sighed and there were tears glistening in his eyes.

He heaved a sigh and let go off her hand as he watched her go, "what have I done?" Elisa's conscience screamed in alarm  but she brushed it off and assured herself it was the best thing to do..

     She was bored and thought about the previous night, she had fun with Devin but she wasn't ready for anything between them, she groaned and laid on her bed... She was tempted to call Devin but she was not allowing her love side win..

She slept peacefully till she heard loud music from outside like a Serenade.
She woke up, wore her glasses and stood at the balcony only to see Devin among the singers, as cute at it was and how her heart fluttered and how  heat  rushed to cheeks just didn't make things any better, "I am sorry to disturb your sleep señora but I wanted you to know I'll do more than buy dinner if you'll allow me, I haven't known you for long but I want to get to know you" he shouted for her to hear..

She wore a robe on her pjay and went downstairs, she didn't care her hair was a mess and she looked like shit, it was cold out there and didn't want Devin to spend the rest of the night out there..
She also wanted the Mariachi to go home to their wives or whoever they had, she didn't care about these things..

"Devin you didn't have to, she said it while beaming with smiles, you just didn't have to... You hardly know me, she sighed... I...I...I am just lost for words right now" she let out a loud breath and sat.
"I know you felt that spark and don't deny, your goosebumps gave you away, look Elisa I know.... We hardly know each other but I want to know you, I feel you'll complete my world, I don't know if I am making sense but yeah" he let everything out and bowed his head..

Elisa tucked at his ears and looked into his eyes; that was her first time being with a man and feeling the way she felt, she told Devin everything about her and the murder of her parents when she was younger, she was crying after everything...
But Devin was troubled which he quickly masked with joke that made them laugh.
He drew closer to her and he whispered "I hope I won't be disrupted this time", Elisa smiled as their lips met and they kissed.
