Something Real

Chapter seven! Double date

(Samuel's POV)

"Hey." Nadia yells back to Rebeka.

We all sit down at the table. We all try to make causal conversation.

"So how long have you guys been together?" Nadia asks.

"It's pretty recent." I chime in.

"Yeah we just had to get rid of the bitch that couldn't seem to leave him alone." Rebeka says to them.

Guzman looks over at me and then I look down.

The girls start chatting about girly shit and Guzman asks if he can talk to me for a sec.

"Yeah sure." I say back wondering what he wanted to talk about.

"Don't kill each other." Rebeka says before we walk away.

"Dude," Guzman says and looks at me.

"What?" I ask.

"You're so not over Carla."

"What? Yes, I am." I say back getting defensive.

"You may think that Rebeka girl is hot but I can tell you're not all there when you're with her."

I finally open up to him,

"Carla would never be with me after I used her like that, I turned her in to the police as if she meant nothing to me."

"Who gives a shit, I can't believe I'm about to say this but if you're in love with her then go for it." He says.

"I caught her making out with Polo!" I blurt out
not even thinking about the consequences.

"....I'm gonna kill that bastard!" He yells drawing all the attention of the people in the restaurant to us.

He walks towards the entrance of the restaurant. I just run after him yelling goodbye to Nadia and Rebe.

"Can you guys take a cab?" I yell

"I have my car here." Rebe yells back.

I walk out and follow after Guzmán.

"Guzmán you can't just show up to his house!" I say getting into the passenger seat of his car.

"Watch me!" He says putting the keys into the ignition.

"Fine but you can't just beat the shit out of him, you'll get arrested." I say trying to reason with him.

"Fine we'll go to Carla's then, he'll probably be there if they're fucking again like you said. You know what they say, couples who murder together."

I just sit there with a shocked look on my face. I realize I should text Carla just in case he is there. I don't want to walk in on anything between the two because the more I say that I'm not in love with her, the more it clarifies that I do.

Me: Hey, its Samu. I just wanted to know Guzmán and I are on our way to your house. He's in a fit of rage cause I told him about you and Polo.

Carla❤️: Why the fuck would you tell him that?!

Me: My bad I just thought he had a right to know you were sleeping with a murderer. 😬

Carla❤️: Fine, whatever. Thanks for letting me know.

(Carla's POV)

"Samuels coming over here right now."  I say to Lu.

"Are you gonna tell him?" She asks.

"What? No! He's with Guzmán who's insisting on beating the shit out of Polo."

"Why would he be over here?" She asks confused.

"Well... Polo kind of threatened Samuel and said he was gonna kill him. So when Samuel showed up to apologize for faking his death I pretended I was with Polo so nothing bad happened to him." I managed to get out.

She just stood there with a shocked look on her face.

"Bitch. Are you fucking crazy?" "He could've killed you.

"But he didn't." He could've I thought to myself.

I knew that if I didn't stay with Polo he was going to do something impulsive, it was just a matter of time.
