47 Chapter 47: Too Soon (1/2)
[A few days after]
'How could someone like you love me? I don't deserve you.'
I watch as Kaz turns on her side. She's peacefully sleeping next to me, but I can't seem to do the same.
I carefully get out of bed and walk out onto the balcony. I watch as the hot summer breeze makes the curtains dance.
The night sky has no clouds so all the stars are visible.
”Ricky?”
I turn around and look at Kaz, she's rubbing her eye and scanning the room for me.
”Out here.”
She gets up and walks over,
”Have you been slept yet?”
I sit on one of the chairs,
”I can't.”
”Hmm,”
I rest my head on her stomach.
'She smells so nice.'
Kaz runs her hands through my hair,
”Ricardo, you've been like this ever since the whole Toni incident. Do you wanna talk about it?”
'Yes!'
”Nah.”
I lower my hands and grab onto her inner thighs,
”You sure?”
She lifts up my head. Her eyes are searching mine,
”Yup.”
She sits down in my lap and puts her arms around my neck,
”Your lips can lie, but your eyes can't hide the truth.”
I hide my face in between her breast,
”Mmhmm.”
She lifts up my head again,
”Ricky, it's almost 3 in the morning, you wanna try and get some rest?”
I sigh heavily,
”Might as well try.”
She gets up and takes my hand in hers. She pulls me up from the chair and lays me down in bed.
”Where you going?”
She looks over her shoulder,
”Just closing the door.”
”Oh,”
I open up the covers and let her crawl in next to me. I pull her as close to me as possible and slump my arm around her waist. She holds on to me and drifts back to sleep.
”Just give me some time Kaz, I promise i'll get better.”
I kiss her cheek and soon fall asleep too.

”She up yet?”
”Nope.”
”Good. I don't want her to know about this.”
My phone starts to ring in my pocket,
*Unknown number*
”¿Quien es esta?”
(Who is this?)
”English please.”
”Fuck, it's you isn't it?”
”Well no shit Ricky boy.”
'Who is it?'
Carlos ask but I leave the bar and step out into the hall,
”What the fuck are you doing calling me? Do you have a death wish, Yoyo? And the whole 'planting a rat' thing didn't work out. Who the hell do you think-”
”Boy will you shit the hell up?! I'm tryna explain why I did what I did.”
