Blue Eyes

05-Jealousy

I stood there in shock, I couldn't believe my eyes. Before I knew it I collapsed to the ground and tears well from my eyes. I didn't want to believe it was true. He...he disappeared. How? When? What...I...I just sat there crying.

Mateo ran to me and wrapped me in his arms, he held me and soothes me. He said sweet nothings into my ear and said it's going to be okay as he held me tightly. I breathed in his scent. A scent I fell in love with. I pulled away just enough to look into his eyes and I put my hand on his face. He still had that twinkle in his eyes. He cupped my face in one hand and looked at me.

"I've missed you mi amour." He whispered to me

"I've missed you too." I said as I relaxed into him.

I heard footsteps behind me and Kiara's voice. The footsteps stopped and Kiara's voice went quiet.

"Mateo? No it can't be." said Nathan

I heard him walk slowly and he was just as shocked as I was. But instead of my reaction he pulled Mateo up by the shirt, Mateo was. Ugh stronger than Nathan so I knew he was all owning Nathan to do this.

"You son of a bitch! You left her heartbroken!" He said and threw a punch right into Mateos jaw.

That's going to bruise for a bit. I broke them up before anything serious happened.

"I know...please let me explain." Said Mateo

Nathan and I both stood waiting.

"I was going to propose, your mother found out and she got a assassins to kill me, well at least she got one to hunt me. I killed him before he killed me. That's why I disappeared, I was hiding from him and I knew if I left you a note she could have taken it and I would get caught. I've returned because I'm free now. Baby...I came back to you because every single day since I left I've been thinking about you." He said

I felt my heart drop, she...she ruined my happiness without me evening knowing.

"Who's this?" I heard his voice but I didn't want to reply

"Blue eyes, who is he?" Kodiak repeated

"I'm Mateo Gambino." He replied

"Gambino." Said Kodiak

"Yes." Replied Mateo

I finally got hit back to reality and spoke up.

"Mateo this is Kodiak, that's Kodiak's sister. Kiara. They are under our protection. Kodiak and Kiara this is Mateo, my long lost boyfriend." I said

"Wait? His the one that...and then he...and you...but never saw him again?" Asked Kiara she left out key words out of respect for me.

"Yes." I answered

"I'm confused." Said Kodiak in a annoyed tone

"Mateo and I were in love, he vanished and now his here, he just showed up today...he explained why he vanished and why his back." I said

"Do you love him?" Asked Kodiak

"What?" I questioned

"Do.You.Love.Him?" Asked Kodiak in a strained tone

"Fuck off Kodiak! Seriously that's all you have to say! Fuck you! He was my boyfriend and best friend, the only person that knew about my mother other than my dad and brother and he cared just like they did! He was there for me! Yes I love him!...I just don't know in what way anymore!" I shouted

Everyone  went silent and I walked to my room. I heard shouting but I couldn't be bothered. I was pissed. I need some target practice.

I went to the training room and threw some knifes, shit some targets and decided to work out with the punching bag.
