I thought you loved me, Javier! Your words painfully ringed in his ears–almost making him flinch. He absolutely hated when you were mad at him. It made him feel so bad.

"Sí, nena. Of course I do but you know it's all currently difficult for me." Gently Javier brushed a strand of hair behind your ear.

"And I promise it'll all get better, just forgive me, por favor. One more chance..." He said this softly as he looked at you with those dark puppy eyes you loved and at the same time hated so much.

The cool night air suddenly hit his neck, giving him slight goosebumps and making him shiver a little bit as he waited for you to say something.
