Pool Party with the Barca Boys

Chapter 10

Áron's POV

I see Y/N scurrying out of one of the guest bedrooms, Héctor following suit.

My heart breaks, when I see Y/N on the verge of tears.

Without thinking I walk up to her and pull on her hand, she looks up at me with watery eyes.

"What do you want Áron?"

"You look like you're in need of a friend, talk to me".

"I'm fine".

"You're clearly not".

"Why do you care?"

"I care more than I let on", I mumble.

"Let's talk".

I grab her hand and gesture her towards the guest bedroom.

"What's going on?"

"I, I'm just so confused," she mutters.

"Why?"

"Because Marc and Héctor are both after me and it's confusing the hell out of me".

"I don't see what's so confusing about that."

"It messes up my mind, one minute, Héctor's on my mind, the next all I can think about is Marc."

"Just choose".

"It's not that simple, I don't wanna lose either of them" she sighs.

"Maybe you just need some help to take your mind off of things".

"What do you mean?"

"Forget about Héctor and Marc, I'm here with you now. I say, as I look into her eyes."

I grab her hand and rub my thumb over the back of her hand.

"Seems to me like you could use a distraction."

"I don't know," she laments.

"I hug her and she embraces me" and as she does so, my mind starts racing.

"You know, I"ll always be there for you, right? Even if Marc of Héctor ever hurts you."

"Why?" She murmurs.

"Because from the second that I laid eyes on you, I couldn't get you out of my mind."

She looks up at me.

"I continue and any man would be lucky to have you".

She buries her head against my chest, as I feel a wet spot forming on my shirt.

"It's okay, I've got you" I whisper.

We stand there in silence, Y/N weeping quietly.

"Please stop crying".

"I can't".

"I can't stand to see you cry, it makes me want to hurt the guy who made you shed all of these tears. Tell me, was it Héctor or Marc?"

"No Áron don't!"

"I need to know."

"I, my head is all foggy."

"I'm more than happy to pummel both of them."

"Please, don't do anything rash, stay here, with me."

"I can't control myself, knowing that the bastard who's responsible for your tears, is in the same house as us."

I start shaking.

Y/N, sensing my anger looks up at me.

"Please, I can't have you hurt either of them."
