The authority in Alicia's voice drove Emma to one of the chairs. She sat as a quiet cat in a corner as she watched the whole station fuss and shake at the sight of the three women. "Mrs. Delgado if you don't mind could you give us a statement of what happened," one of the men in uniform said leading her to one of the couches. "Of course," Jessica said following him. "Okay I would ask a few questions," the officer said again as she took her seat. "And I would try to answer them properly to the best of my knowledge" Jessica replied. Emma scoffed in a corner. Jessica had always seemed uptight and proud to her. She seemed to fit well into the midst of these ladies of prestige and class. "Do you know the woman in question?" the officer asked. Jessica contemplated how to answer. If she should admit how she knew the girl then does that mean she would spill out in the public how she met her husband? "Yes I do, we used to be friends" Jessica replied. She could not lie so she would try

Jessica looked up to see Xavier standing there. His face was calm as if he went for a stroll and ended up there. "What happened that you ended up here?" he asked again. Jessica lifted her eyes to the direction where the policemen clustered together. "I had to call your guardians," One of the men said when he saw her glare. Was it that she did not want him to be aware? "Stand up let's go home," Xavier said sternly. He did not know how they got into the situation but it was something dishonorable for any Delgado to be in the police station. "Are you not going to ask for a settlement?" Leslie asked. It was not as if the money to be paid was anything big compared to the wealth of the family. Xavier did not see the need for compensation. "We would go without it" Xavier announced. He did not care to know how or why they were there and why Leslie suggested the settlement money. "Stand up," Xavier said again sternly. Why did he have to come to the police station to pick her up des

"Let's talk for a moment," Xavier said holding Jessica's hand. Why was she running a rampage for a few bucks? She did not pay for the dress he did and he could buy a few million dresses for her. He could ensure she never had to repeat any dress for the rest of the time they had together. He pulled her and stopped in front of the police station. He saw her eyes lined with tears. It must be that something was going on. Suddenly he felt sorry for her and squeezed her hand. Surprised by his action Jessica jerked and looked him in the eyes. "Why are you asking for a settlement?" he asked gently. Jessica felt the teardrop to her cheek and she sniffed to get it back in. Why should have to cry because of those two people who made love difficult for her "Can I know? " he continued with a gentle tone. "That is my ex-boyfriend and my friend who he cheated on me with," Jessica said. "I guess seeing them together triggered something in me" she continued. Xavier looked at her. Tear by tear k

Jessica's attitude did put Xavier off for a few seconds but he quickly recovered himself. Something about the way she spoke made him know that she was not in her right mind at the moment.Xavier entered back into the station with Jessica's hand firmly enclosed in his. "Officers we have agreed to settle," Xavier said when Jessica could not find herself to speak. She wanted to be the one who would say that but she could not trust herself one bit. If she said any words she felt like tears would drop down her face. "Thank you very much," Burke said coming to stand in front of the couple and blowing down multiple times as he repeated the sentence. "Come on Emma," Burke said going to her. "To do what?" Emma asked. She already felt the embarrassment of being at the receiving end of every one. The crowd at the cafe had murmured until she was taken away. The police had treated her like trash and both high-class women had treated her worse than trash and now her husband-to-be was bowing d

Jessica and Xavier sat in the car in the parking lot quietly. Jessica wanted to tell him not to worry and just drop her that she would find her way back home but her voice could barely leave her throat. Jessica suddenly felt a strong urge. It was like someone had taken a whip and whipped her continuously until she could not take it anymore. She felt tears drop down her face as she began to wail uncontrollably. Xavier was thrown off guard as he was not expecting her to cry. He did not know what to do. He was not experienced in what to do when you want to console another person. Jessica felt self-conscious and embarrassed that she was wailing her eyes out but she could not seem to control herself at all. "Why are you crying?" Xavier asked worriedly. Like a trigger, once the question left Xavier's mouth Jessica felt the urge to cry more. Why was she crying? She thought she had cried all the last drop of tears when they broke up. Was there anything more she could cry over? Was seein

The car slowly came to a halt in front of the sandy beach. Xavier turned off the ignition and removed his seat belt slowly. The wails that had turned to silent sobs had now left the crying girl deep in sleep. Xavier put his head on the steering wheel with his hand as support as he stared at Jessica. She had been crying non-stop so her face was all swell and her mascara had smudged up. Seeing the ruined make up Xavier is reminded of the first day they met outside the courthouse. He was too worried about the situation before him to acknowledge her but looking back now he could not deny that even with her ruined face and red face she still looked good. Jessica stirred a little in her sleep and her eyes flew open. She looked at Xavier for a few minutes before pushing herself away from the seat and sitting upright. "We are here," Xavier said clearing his throat and raising his head from the steering wheel. "Why didn't you wake me up when we got here?" Jessica asked feeling conscious o

"It's nice?" Xavier asked feeling a smile climb up his face. He did not know but the feeling of looking at her find peace while she was here was somehow healing to him. "Yes, Thank you" Jessica replied opening her eyes. Her eyes met with Xavier's string black ones. He was staring at her blankly and it made her uncomfortable. She shuffled uncomfortably looking everywhere except at his face. "Shall we take a walk? I am sure it would help bring your mind off it" Xavier suggested referring to the happenings of earlier."I am sorry for earlier. I did not know what came over me. I'm not usually such a mess" Jessica told him. "Well I disagree," Xavier said pushing himself off the car. "Shall we?" he asked pointing his hands in the direction towards the sea. "Why do you disagree and for what?" Jessica asked synchronizing her steps with his. "It's a secret," Xavier said. "Are you Mr. Xavier Delgado?" Jessica asked standing in front of him and making his steps stop. "Who are you?" she a

"Remember what?" Jessica asked confused. "You really do not remember?" Xavier asked studying her face. "Now I am very hurt that you do not remember" "Did I lose some memories?" Jessica asked looking into the blank space. "I can't believe you have forgotten when you were the one who suggested it," Xavier said. A wave of remembrance washed over her. She remembered how she wanted to be in a comfortable position with him and suggested that they become friends. His attitude did not make it easy for them. He had given her one hurdle after another every time she thought of being close to him. Was he blaming her for them not being friends? He was the reason she could not be in the same space with him. She remembered the encounter yesterday and how he had handled it. She was supposed to be mad at him but seeing how well he handled the police case and brought her here to take her kind what was going on with her she decided not to bring it up. It would do the both of them no good. "Okay, t
