One Kiss - Mayans MC

Part 15

Notes: This part broke my heart. Sorry. 

Stretching out I can't wipe the smile off my face, sliding out of bed I walk into the bathroom turning the shower on and stepping under the hot water. The hot water loosens my muscles, washing myself I realise this has been the most relaxed I've been in weeks, I'm starting to feel like my old self. Rinsing off I turn off the shower and step out, reaching for a towel I catch sight of my reflection in the mirror "Oh shit" I say under my breath, wrapping the towel around me and stepping to the mirror to take a closer look at my neck.

Pushing my hair back I can see a trail of bruises and bite marks from my ear all the way down to my shoulder "Fuck" I mutter touching the tender spots smiling at the memory of Coco's mouth. I realise there is no way I'm going to be able to cover them, I brush my hair out and head into the bedroom to get dressed. Pulling on my leggings and a t-shirt I start digging around for my hoodie, hoping that between the high neck and my hair I can keep my neck covered. Finding it in the bottom of my bag I pull it out and throw it on, checking the mirror I realise that my neck is pretty much covered, feeling satisfied with my look I head out to the kitchen.

Angel is making coffee "Yo" he says as I walk into the kitchen

"Hey" I reply grabbing a cup off the bench and sitting down on the couch

Angel pours himself a cup of coffee and comes over to join me sitting in the armchair across from me, he looks tired and beat up, possibly worse than when I saw him last time.

Nodding to his face "what happened?"

"Club stuff" he replies shrugging

"Want to talk about it?" I ask

"Not really" he replies "how's it been going here? What have you been doing?"

"ummm, reading, Coco and I played cards" shrugging I say, "you know same old same old"

"What about you?" I ask

"Just club stuff" he says flat toned

"Just club stuff? What do you do outside the club? Do you have a girlfriend?" I ask

smiling at me "No Girlfriend, why? Looking to board the Angel train?" he says winking

laughing I reply "Nope, I told you, I don't like pretty boys, just figured you might do other things besides club stuff"

"Nah not really" he says a loud ringing noise interrupting us, Angel and I both look at each other puzzled

"that's not mine" he says standing up

"Oh, its mine!" I exclaim surprised jumping up I head down to the bedroom missing the call I check the caller ID "It was Em, I'm just going to call her back" I yell down the hallway

smiling I dial Em's number, she answers on the second ring

"Hey stranger" her voice says down the line

"Hey yourself" I reply sitting down on the bed, resting my head on the bedhead, I get lost in conversation with Em, catching up on what's going on in her life, how Cristobal is and how my house arrest is going. I don't tell her about Coco, I don't really know how too, plus I don't know what Coco and I are so I don't really know how to explain it to her.

After getting off the phone to Em, I pull my hair into a bun and rest my head back on the headboard closing my eyes I'm lost in thought, thinking about Em and my life on the outside, wondering if I still have a job to go back too.

I don't even hear the bedroom door open, but I feel someone watching me, opening my eyes I see Nestor standing there in the doorway watching me rage radiating off his body

"Hey" I say caustically as I stand up

Nestor closes the gap between the two of us in two steps, pulling my hoodie away from my neck

"Are you fucking kidding me?" he says his voice full of rage "you're fucking one of the biker scumbags"

I slap his hand away and taking a step back "I don't think that's really any of your business" I reply curtly

"it's not my business?" he says raising his voice "you are unbelievable, I'm cleaning up the mess of your last mistake and you're here making another one and you don't think it's my business?"

"I never asked you to clean up my mess, I asked Miguel for help, not you" I yell, I can feel hot tears welling up in my eyes, I refuse to cry

"Why do you do this? Every fucking time" Nestor asks sitting down on the edge of the bed "it's like you purposely find the worst possible guy you can"

I lean against the wall, sliding to the floor "Why do you care?" I ask him

"Because I love you" he replies his voice is full of defeat

"No you don't Nestor-"

"Yes, I do Cami, you can deny it all you want, but I have loved you for six years and every time we take a step forward you push me away" he says interrupting me

I let out a deep sigh, standing up I sit next to Nestor on the bed

"What's my favourite book?" I ask, he looks at me puzzled

"My favourite movie?" I ask, when he doesn't respond I continue "What am I allergic too?"

Nestor doesn't respond

"Ness, don't you think you should know these things about the woman you love?" I say softly "you don't love me, not really. You love the idea of me, the woman you've built up in your mind from a handful of stolen moments over the years" I can't hold back the tears anymore, they start to slowly slide down my cheeks

Nestor stands up walking to the door, he doesn't even look at me, he just leaves leaving me alone in the bedroom with tears streaming down my face.

I climb into bed, but I can't stop crying, I bury my head into the pillows sobbing hysterically

"Hey" Angel says I look up and he is sitting in the armchair next to the bed, he has moved it so he is facing me, I didn't even hear him come in

"You okay?" he asks

"Just peachy" I reply wiping the tears off my face

"Well it's not me you're fucking" he says smirking "So I'm guessing its Coco?"

I just nod tears still streaming down my face

"Does he know about you and Nestor?"

"This isn't really a conversation I want to have right now Angel" I say

"I don't really care" he says, "We're having it"

"No, he doesn't know" I reply shrugging

"Fucking hell" Angel says rubbing his face "this is bad"

I don't reply, but I've at least managed to stop crying, sitting up I wipe the tears off my face and grab the bottle of water off the bedside table swallowing it in two gulps

Before Angel can continue his phone rings, reaching into his pocket he pulls it out

"hey" he says getting up and walking out of the room "you sure?" I hear him ask as he walks down the hallway, I pull the blankets up over my head hoping sleep comes soon so I can pretend this day never happened.

"Cami" I hear Angel say his voice slightly panicked

"Yeah" I reply sitting up

"I need you to get dressed and put shoes on now" he says

"What? Why? What's going on?" I ask leaping out of bed

"I'm not entirely sure but that was Bishop and it looks like the Lobos are planning something, Miguel wants to move you" he replies

I quickly change out of my leggings throwing on jeans and slipping my feet into my Nikes I hear a car pull up outside

"Stay here" Angel says pulling a gun out of the back of his jeans, he closes the bedroom door and heads down the hallway
