Te Quiero

SESENTA Y CINCO

"What did you just say?" His voice was calm like he didn't understand what he had just heard.

I cleared my throat. "That's what I've been hiding from you...I mean, that's the reason why your mum wanted to get rid of me...cause I knew her little secret..."

"Stop!" He shouted and I kept quiet instantly. He frowned so hard like he was going to kill someone and his fists were shaking. Omg, I wish I could take back what I said. I honestly felt bad about the whole thing but it's been done already.

"Bran..." I tried to say but he walked into his car aggressively, started it and drove away quickly.

What the hell have I done? Diane was surely going to come for me but, that was the least of my problems. I wanted to know what Demorte told them. I was more than eager to know the truth so, I fished my phone out of my pocket and phoned Kelvin.

He picked and started laughing. "Alex, what the fuck?"

I had no time for their little play so, I said sternly to get his attention. "Kelvin."

He was silent for a few seconds then he said. "Yo, Teresa..."

"What did Demorte tell you guys?" I said quickly and he answered. "Bran hasn't told you?"

"Yes! He hasn't!" I was almost shouting. "Look, tell me since he wouldn't say a word to me."

"Do you know why he hasn't said it?"

"No, I don't. He's been acting like a douche and he made me say something very hurtful."

He chuckled. "Bran doesn't get angry easily. He's like a happy soul who spreads happiness around him..."

We were already deviating. "This isn't about Bran. Do you guys know who the murderer is?" I had to start asking more detailed questions.

"Yeah, we do." He said. I waited for him to keep talking but he said nothing. "Is that all you're going to say?"

He heaved. "I'm afraid yes. That's all I'm gonna say."

"Wow..." I was speechless. "You too?"

"T, I like you but I can't tell you. If Bran didn't say, then he had his reasons which I know has been thought through and are the best because, I trust him...so fucking much. Considering the fact that you can be reckless at times, is the other reason why I can't spill. I'm sorry."

"Please. You have to..."

"No need to plead cause, I'll not say it till Bran does. Why do you want to know the killer..."

"That's none of your fucking business. I can't believe I trusted you." I ended the call before he could saying anything. I was restless but I understood what Kelvin said. What if there was actually a very good reason for keeping the truth from me? I had messed up but I decided to be calm about everything. I was going to meet Bran tomorrow and plead with him to tell me his reasons but if he wouldn't then, I'll go to the lion's den and ask Demorte myself. I didn't care anymore.

Brandon's POV

"Yeah...go home to your mother who's cheating on your father with his fucking best friend!!!"

I shook my head and cleaned my eyes with the back of my palms so I could see the road clearly since I was beginning to see double. My head ached as her voice crossed my mind once again.

"Yeah...go home to your mother who's cheating on your father with his fucking best friend!!!"

"Arghh!" I hit my hand on the steering as I drove faster so I could see her...Diane. I couldn't believe it but, I saw how Teresa said it. She wasn't joking. She said it to get back at me for keeping the murderer's identity from her. I could tell that she said the truth but, something in me wanted it to be a lie.
