Behind The Mask

Chapter 33

Elena

Elena parked in front of Antonio's pizza, greeted one of the delivery boys she met at the door and walked towards Diego who sat down pressing his phone.

"Hola." She greeted and sat down in the booth facing him.

"Mi amor, Buenos días(Good morning)." He greeted.

"How are you?" Elena asked as she looked at his bruised face and the stitches below his hairline.

"What do you think? Your boyfriend nearly killed me." Diego scoffed.

"I'm sorry Diego, I told you to leave and you didn't."

"So you're making excuses for that thug?"

Elena shook her head. "No, I'm sorry Diego.. Let's just forget what happened." She pleaded.

"Easy for you to say."

"Diego, I left school just to meet up with you.. How are you? Do you like the hotel?" Elena asked.

"I guess I'm fine.. The hotel is okay.. Though I would have received a royal treatment if I was in Spain, guess I have to manage this for a while." He replied.

"For a while? Are you staying long?" Elena couldn't help but ask.

Before Diego could reply, The waiter came and brought Elena a chicken pizza, her favorite. Elena thanked the guy and he blushed as he walked away.

"He likes you.. Can't blame you.. Eres hermosa (You're beautiful)." He commented.

"Gracias.. So what's the important thing you wanted to tell me?" Elena asked eating a slice of her pizza.

"Oh si.. I met your close friend at the hotel yesterday." Diego replied.

"My close friend?"

"Si... Her name is Maxine or no wait Madison.. Yes Madison."

Elena dropped the pizza. "Madison? She's not my close friend! We're not even friends!" Elena yelled.

"Really? That's what she told me in my room."

"In your room?" Elena asked in shock. "What the fuck was she doing in your room?"

"Calm down mi amor, I invited her and no we didn't have sex.. I just told her what happened yesterday." Diego explained.

"Mierda!" Elena muttered. "What else did you tell her?"

"I don't really know... I was drunk."

Elena was about to reply when her phone dinged with notifications, 4 text messages from Tiana, 8 from Andre, she was about to open it and a call entered, it was Damian.

She picked the call and told Diego to be silent.

"Hi Damian.. Yes.. Still with him.. What??.. Are you serious?? No it can't be! Fuck! OK.." She said shaking as she dropped her phone on the table.

"What's wrong mi amor?" Diego asked.

"Did you delete the videos of us together?"

Diego shifted in his seat nervously. "No.. I wanted to..."

Elena cut him off. "Fuck! Did you show Madison?" She yelled attracting attention.

"Elena I..."

"Answer the fucking question Diego!"

"Si.. Yes.. I was drunk Elena.. I didn't know... That's what I wanted to tell you about.. Lo siento(I'm sorry)."

"Fuck! I.. I.. Fuck!" Elena yelled, took her purse from the table and left the pizza parlour.
