A Love Like Ours

CHAPTER 14: There's NOTHING Going On!

VICTOR

I couldn't take it anymore, I had to be with her and especially after seeing that other guy earlier talking to her, I wanted her. 

However, it doesn't hit me until this morning, after I wake up that I can't be with her. Someone like her can get hurt or even worse because of me. 

Now, I could care less as to what race, size or whatever she is, but some people I know, they don't like white people and not only that, if I get involved with her romantically, she could be in danger always. 

I needed to leave, so I quietly got up and got dressed, before making my escape out of her bedroom and the apartment then down the hallway to mine. 

I'm sure she's going to think I just used her for a booty call, but I didn't really. Again, I just can't get her involved. I can't risk certain people finding out about her. 

Fuck why am I making things so damn complicated?!? No, I can't think that way. This is for the best. 

Throughout the entire day at relaxing in my apartment, eventually, Javier finally came over to hang out before we prepared for our job tonight that Lolita's dad wanted me to do. 

"Hey." He nods. 

"What's up?" I nod back. 

"So, I wanted to talk to you about something." He tells me. 

"It wouldn't be about you and my sister would it?" I asked him with a cocked eyebrow.

"How did you know?" He asks. 

"Really? You've had a crush on her since we were kids not to mention the fact that the way you approached telling me, I could tell in your eyes you were nervous." I laugh a little. 

"Well you know I'm not good at lying to you." He laughs. 

"I know. But honestly, When I first waited for you to tell me about you and her after noticing the looks you both give each other, I was upset and had this whole plan in what I was going to yell at you about and how bad I was going to hurt you, but.....I eventually realized that if it's anyone she is with, I'm glad it's you." I smile at him. 

"Thanks." He says. "So, what's the deal with you and Saige?" He asks. 

"What do you mean?" I asked pretending to go back to figuring out the payroll. 

"Come on. Don't be like that with me. I mean, talk about being obvious. I could tell you both are into each other." He tells me. 

"There's nothing going on with her and I. I took her back to the apartment and then went back to my place." I tell him. 

"Yeah, sure you did. I know you bro, I know how you are. I mean, come on, I won't tell anyone. Besides, you both would make a good couple." He tells me. 

"There's nothing to tell, so drop it!" I snap at him feeling irritated. 

"Alright. My bad." He says. "So what's going on with the job tonight? When does he want us to meet him?" He asks. 

"He wants to meet up in an hour at the old warehouse he had us working at before, by the shipping docks." I tell him as I grab my jacket. 

"Okay." He says. 

"Listen, I know you don't like lying to my sister but I promise she won't ever find out that you're doing this and if she did, just blame it on me and that I'm the one who forced you to do this with me." I assure him. "And besides, this won't last for much longer. I'm working on a way to get out of this and nothing happen to family or anyone." 

He nods in agreement while I grab my gun and he gets his ready also before we put ours in the back of our pants then grab our helmets and start making our way down to the garage. We then get onto our motorcycles and head over to meet up with Lolita's father, Maurice." 

I hope that Saige doesn't say anything about what happened last night, my sister would kill me.
