Te Quiero

SESENTA Y NUEVE

We stared at each other for a minute in awkward silence. I could see surprise written all over his face. "Tere..."

I shook my head. "No... I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm doing here. I gotta go."

"No." He stood up from his seat. "Stay... I mean it."

I nodded like a puppy and sat back on the sofa. He brushed his hand through his hair in confusion. " Uhm... what would you like? Tea? Vodka?"

I shook my head. "Nothing..."

"Are you sure cause you don't seem alright?"

"My mother wouldn't be working in your hotel anymore." I said looking away.

"She got a better job?"

No, she's jailed for murder. "She's in... she's gone."

He then walked closer and sat beside me. "What do you mean gone?"

"I took care of things."

"I don't understand."

"She's... she killed him... so, she's in jail." I began to sob then he pulled me closer.

"I'm sorry about this Tess... I wouldn't lie but it's very surprising."

I cried harder on his chest. "I mean...how could she? It's so unexpected and sad. My own mother...she even tried to kill me."

"Woah."

"That was the height! I was so glad when the cops came over."

He didn't say anything but started patting my head then he saw the wound. "What the fuck? You're injured."

I pulled out of his hug. "Yeah, I got it cleaned up at the station before coming here."

He looked closely. "Who's the medic that did this? This isn't a proper job." He yelled and walked to his table to get cotton wool and spirit.

"It's not a bad wound. If not I'd have ran you on some tests. Can't afford to have a hematoma."

Whatever hematoma meant, I just nodded in reply.

"How did you find out that she was the murderer?" He asked and walked back to me and started attending to my wound.

I began to talk but got interrupted by the ringing of my phone. I checked and it was Bran. He had already called me six times since the incident so there was no way I wasn't going to pick this time. "Hey Bran."

"Hey... how're you feeling? Felt like you didn't want to talk cause of the whole stuff and it's fine but I couldn't help it. I wanted to know if you're good."

My voice broke. "Well, I don't know. I just feel... empty and so so confused." My eyes turned to Dylan whose face was very straight.

"Where are you? I'll come over."

I looked around for a brief moment thinking if I should tell him my location. That would annoy him but, I didn't even know what I was doing here in the first place. I was losing my mind. I concluded that I wasn't going to tell him shit. That'll be another drama all over. "Laken General Hospital."

What the fuck did I just do?!

"What are you doing there?" He sounded disgusted.
I had nothing to say so, I was silent.

"I'm on my way. Bye Tess." He said and ended the call. Dylan was already done with my head injury. "And done." He said with a smile.

"Thank you."

We stared into each other's eyes for a while and before I knew it, he drew his face closer to mine and kissed me for a short while. "I always liked you... but didn't know when I lost you to him."

I held his face with my two hands and locked my lips with his as we kissed in synchrony. I pulled him closer since he was still resisting and then felt his hands massaging one of my breasts. I kissed him harder then he began to unbutton my shirt.

What are you doing Teresa? A voice asked and immediately I realized everything I was doing. I guess that was my subconscious. Still, I couldn't stop myself but he did. He watched my face for a short while then cleared his throat. "I'm sorry. Please forgive my manners."

"No... this isn't your fault. I caused this. I was the one who came here like a sick puppy."

"No... I kissed you first even in the state you're in which isn't appropriate so, I'm sorry."

I looked away in confusion still thinking of everything that just happened and then a nurse came inside. Without even knocking! I slowly began to button my shirt.

"Babe, the patient in 237 A has been discharged. His parents came for him."

Babe? I asked within me. "Okay, uhm... excuse us please."

She nodded. "Alright babe. I'll...leave you two... together...plus I noticed that she's buttoning her shirt."

"Miranda can you excuse us at this moment?" He asked sternly. She rolled her eyes then left.

Then, tears started flowing from my eyes. "You know what? I've disgraced myself enough. I can't believe I just kissed someone's boyfriend."

"Tess..."

Quickly, I walked out of his office and went straight for the exit. I was confused, sad and angry that I couldn't even think straight but all I wanted to do was to get away from the hospital.

As I got out of the hospital, I felt someone place a handkerchief over my nose tightly. I tried to push the person but to no avail cause he was strong. There was something in that handkerchief cause I began to feel weak and dizzy. With my eyes almost closing, he lifted me from the ground and took me into a van and then I couldn't move... nor speak... nor see as everything around me became blurry till I wasn't conscious of my environment anymore.
