CHAPTER 32SANTIAGOGlenn asking the question took my mind back to how the previous hour had been after she left me at the table. I had buried that finger in ice hoping that it wouldn't get swollen, while it didn't get swollen as expected the Ice did nothing to tan the reddish color from the cloaked blood around my knuckles.She stood right there, the same woman that had made me so angry that I got into a fight. One part of me wanted to tell her that she was partially the cause of it and the other part was so damn attracted to the fact that she was wearing one of my robes."I'd stop asking since you don't want to talk about it." She muttered standing akimbo.To be sincere it crossed my mind zero times to share the occurrence with her, to tell her that I had gotten in a fight trying to save the waitress Amber from her abusive lover.He had walked into the restaurant soon after Glenn and stormed off to where she was at the counter, from the look of things it wouldn't have been the firs

CHAPTER 34SANTIAGOOne thing crossed through my mind at that moment and that was the fact that she wasn't Glenn.The moment she walked out I was right there all by myself in the room confused. It to me that was the price I had to pay for knowing about this woman.I ran my hands through my ruffled air and let out a breath in deep frustration, without intending to at first I took a glance at the grandfather clock hanging on the wall and grumbled to myself that I shouldn't have let her leave.It's was past ten, and she had been gone for two hours—The fact that I had no one to call about her whereabouts caused a kind of pain in my heart that I was trying to get rid of.Perhaps, I shouldn't have angered her enough to leave.The thought filled my mind with dread. I dreaded the fact that something bad must have happened to her and there was no way I would be there to help her.Barely thinking of that alone caused my heart to ricochet."What have you gotten yourself into man?" I muttered i

CHAPTER 36GLENNAt that moment I could feel the thudding sound that was beating heavily out of my chest, the dark feeling I had prior to that moment was consuming every part of my soul and at the same moment I felt the shame of being discovered.Diverse thoughts crept through my mind leaving me confused —I was consumed by jealousy, the fact that her body reeked of Santiago. Staring down at her, after what looked to be a collision between us two, after hitting my skull with hers and we both had fallen back a few steps. My gaze went back to her then to the ground that was covered with the edibles I was smuggling.I didn't know what expression would suit me most at that moment, anger that I had been discovered or the shame of being discovered.Confused, I fell to silence as it looked to be the only emotion I could express at that minute.With the room all quiet at the moment, I stared right into her eyes as I was still startled.“What the hell?” a feminine voice muttered—I drifted

CHAPTER 38GLENNUnder the heavy downpour I strolled the almost discarded road, the road was bare, my heart heavy as I listened to the sound of the water as it trickled down Into the drain.At this point, it was starting to look glaring that Martha has an upper hand when it came to Santiago—No matter how hard I thought about it, the whole situation with him seemed like a puzzle that would never be fixed .A couple of hours ago, I had felt that the whole situation would be easy to comprehend but the more I thought about the situation, the more I saw the entire it was harder than I thought, still I couldn't get him out of my mind.One part of me wanted to disappear from his life and never return yet I held on to him by a tiny string, not wanting to let go.My heart pumped harder and harder as I walked through the bridge, toward the way back home.My mind were filled with the memories of good times we shared, And most of all the the agony as well.The closer I got to the home we shared

CHAPTER 40GLENNThe door closed and a man walked in, he had the color of his hair —Santiago.For a long moment, I watched the couples as they walked past where I was holding hands, deep in my heart I felt that thud birthed by the loneliness I was succumbing to on a daily basis.Closing my eyes I sighed deeply, it had been one month since I left the city and While I had thought that it would help me get over whatever feeling I had for him, it made it worse.It seemed to me as though I had gone against the will of the universe and all it was doing was making sure I faced a hell of a time for my mistake .I still thought about him, the best times we had. The worst. The—"Can you make it snappy?"I drifted back to reality, apologizing to the woman right in front of where I was.Recently, I just got the job as a storekeeper to keep the bills running, most times I had thought about going back home but at the moment, home seemed like something that was nonexistent.Where would I call home a
