Chapter 13
-Talia Santana Delarosa-
It's been more than a week since I've come home from the hospital and the Ramanoz family have already found a place. They no longer staying at our place and my aunt Rosa is back to working. Diego is still being kept at one of Diablo's warehouses in town and I've been itching to see Diego and ask him a few questions. This whole week I was forced to stay home and rest so I could properly heal. Diablo would come over most of the time and take care of me,I told him I'd be okay but he insisted on being with me at all times.
It was nice having him around though. We have gotten closer and even though I'm stubborn as hell he never leaves. I somehow can't picture my life without him anymore...its strange because I have never felt this way for anyone before. Well I have liked someone before but I always distinguished those feelings before I got hurt. It is a feeling I can't bare but the way he looks at me makes me feel as if he might actually be different from all the other guys I've known. He made me feel safe and protected. He noticed the little things about me and studied me each time we were together. I liked this feeling, but I'm scared if I get use to it ,it might just vanish and I'll be alone and broken all over again.
It's the beginning of February and it's a Friday ,it's the late afternoon and I'm waiting on Diablo. I'm finally strong enough to move around easily again.Diablo said he'll pick me up in a few and we'll head to the warehouse where Diego is being held. For some reason I think Diablo knows something I don't. Everytime I brought up the topic of the Russian Mafia he acted strange and tonight I was going to make sure I got answers.
It's cold out tonight so I've decided to wear my black Nike tracksuit along with my black Jordan's. I put my long black hair in a big bun and applied some mascara to add volume to my lashes then I added some lip gloss.
By the time I was finished I heard the sound of Diablo's Jeep honk. I hurried downstairs, locked the front door and got in Diablo's car.
"Hey mi amor" he greets(my love)
I smile at the name he has given me. It always seems to make my cheeks heat up.
"Hey" I reply with a small smile as I strap myself to the seat.
"Are you nervous?" He asks while pulling out my drive way.
"Yeah I kinda am. I'm not surprised that Diego has betrayed me but I don't know what else to expect tonight. I don't know if I'm ready." I explain.
He places his hand on my thigh and keeps the other on the wheel while he looks straight ahead as he drives.
I could feel my cheeks heat up again and I hide it in the collar of my jacket.
He chuckles, I don't even need to face him to know he has that damn sexy smirk plastered on his face.
"Don't worry I'll be right by ur side all the way" he says as he turns his head to give me a assuring smile and looks on the road again.
"Thanks " I reply.
Somehow that made me feel abit more calmer and relaxed.
For the rest of the ride we sat in a comfortable silence. I had fallen asleep after a while. It probably took us more than a hour to get to the warehouse because once I woke up it was pitch black outside. The lights around the warehouse shone brightly and I could see a few men with guns surrounding the building. Diablo got out the car and opened the passenger door and helped me out.
I don't even know what is going to happen next but I have to stay strong.
"Come on" Diablo says to me as he turns to walk towards the warehouse .
