A Love Like Ours

CHAPTER 21: Making Love

SAIGE

We sat in the long line of cars that I felt would take us forever to get out of. It was already a little pass midnight and I felt at this rate, we wouldn't get back to the apartment until two in the morning.

Some night this turned out to be. Now I am stuck in this truck with the one person I don't like right now and I can't get away.

I hate awkward silence but if anything, it's more like a tension between us as both him and I aren't wanting to talk to each other. So I pull out my phone and try to look up a game to kill the time.

Then I hear him sigh loudly before breaking the silence.

"Look, I really am sorry for what I said and did. I shouldn't have done any of that and I got upset with myself when I noticed how it affected you." He finishes telling me.

I then let out a sigh myself now feeling like maybe I overreacted, to a certain extent.

"It's alright. I guess you were right in the fact that I was jealous a little bit and although it shouldn't have mattered, because I said this wasn't a date, I guess it did." I tell him.

"You know, the truth is that I really do like you. I liked you ever since the first day I met you but I knew I couldn't have you. I then gave in that night we slept together and even though I don't regret what I said or what we did that night, I do regret the next morning leaving you because I realized when I looked over at you, how beautiful, sweet and innocent you looked and I didn't want that to change." He tells me.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"You see, what I'm about to tell you is not something that I wanted to because of the fear from losing you for it. However, since I want to be with you and am trying to make an effort in this working, I feel I have to tell you." He begins.

"Okay." I reply feeling a little worried as to what he is about to say.

"When I was little and my parents were both working two jobs each, our grandparents took care of us while our parents worked hard. But they were finding it hard to make ends meet. So I decided when I was sixteen that I would do something to help them out. I had met someone that paid big and because I had a lot of anger issues at the time, he got me into underground fighting. So I did it for years and up until recently, I was doing that. But now that I'm doing races, it turns out that he has become part of that as well and is one of the big reasons I wanted you to stay away from that Trenton guy. I no longer work for the guy necessarily, well, I still have a little business with him for family reasons and Trenton still does work for him as his right hand man, to which I don't trust either one." He finishes telling me.

"Well I figured that there was something to it more than what you guys were telling me but I didn't want to pry." I tell him.

For the rest of the ride back to the apartment, we seemed to be at an understanding and decided we would start over with each other.

When we entered the apartment, we noticed Javier and Maritza both asleep on the couch with the TV still on while bundled up together.

So both Victor and I started heading to our rooms and I stopped after walking into the bedroom to turn and look at him.

"Thank you again for tonight. Or I should say for last night." I laughed as did he.

"You're welcome. I had fun." He smiles.

We stand there for a moment and then we both start to lean in and kiss each other until we start backing up into my bedroom and he lays me on my back onto the bed then stops and looks at me in the eyes before we end up making love.....At least that's what it felt like. There was of course lust involved but deeper meaning this time. I just hoped he was still here in the morning.
