By the time I pull up in-front of Rebecca’s house the sky is almost black. She leans in kisses me softly and says “I don’t like that worried look on your face, call me if you need anything”.

I nod, faking a smile, I watch her walk up the porch, the mood cast a light against her sleek figure. She pauses for a second and glanced back at me before she disappears into the house.

The moment the door closes I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone.

Mikes message flashes right in front of me.

I dial, it’s rings once, rings twice and on the third ring, he picks.

“You alone?” Mikes voice is sharp and deep over the phone.

“Yeah” I say trying to focus on the streets.

“We have a guy they call Theo, Leon gave me a lead on him, but he isn’t giving me anything tangible”

“Where is he?” My chest tightens.

“He’s at the safe house”

“And?” I say already feeling angry

“He keeps saying he is innocent. Says he doesn’t know anything. We knocked him around a little. Nothing too serious, he’s s

His brows draw together.“What?” he asks, looking over my shoulder.Then he sees the picture too.“What?” He asks again. I can sense the frustration in his voice. A long silence stretches between us.“She…she’s his daughter?,” I whisper.“Yes, any problem?” “It’s her, it’s Rebecca. The girl IMet at the bar” I say. My hands are trembling slightly. Mike draws a breath and steps closer. “You are kidding me.”I shake my head slowly, still staring at the picture like maybe if I look long enough it will change.There is a long silence between us. My legs suddenly feel weak. I slowly sit down on the step. Mike is watching me. “You alright?” He asks. I don’t answer. I am thinking of Rebecca. Her soft brown eyes staring back at me from the photo. That easy, careless smile. Her lips i have kissed a dozen times.“Donald?”I drag my eyes away from the picture and

  • KISS ME WHEN ITS OVER   Chapter 19

    Rebecca’s POVThe drive to my mothers house feels longer than usual. Maybe because I keep second guessing myself. I tap the steering wheel out of habit. There is a sickening feeling in my stomach. I don’t know why I am even going. Things haven’t really been easy between us lately. Not since she told me about the affair. My mind flashed back to that evening. She had called me while I was at work in tears saying there was something she needed to tell me. I had dropped everything I was doing and rushed to her house. It still felt like a movie, except this is real life. My mother, the woman I grew up thinking was unbreakable and perfect sitting across from me at her kitchen table her eyes wet with Shame, telling me she hadn’t been loyal to my father. That years ago she has found comfort in someone else. Someone my father despised. His then rival. “I didn’t know what to do, I was lonely” I remember her say, with wistful tears. It was t just an affair. It was a betrayal that would ha

  • KISS ME WHEN ITS OVER   Chapter 20

    Mikes POV I pull up in front of my penthouse. The place is quiet. Too quiet. I have a splitting headache. The type that starts from the back of your head and migrates to the front. Where you can literally feel your head pounding. I had been thinking a lot. Everything is weighing heavy on my head. From the mess with the envelope, Donald’s woman who happens to be Delmonts daughter. If only Donald had listened to me. All this would have been over by now, and Theo is not talking. I might have to release him. He obviously knows nothing about what has happened. And to top it all up a shipment came in late. One of the new boys almost got followed. Stupid move, very Careless. That’s how you get the cops on your back. That’s how people end up dead. I move drugs. Pills. Coke. Stuff that makes people forget, stuff that makes them feel better for a while. I am not proud of it, but it’s what I do. And tonight, everything felt off.It’s like everything is just coming down at once. I slam the c

  • KISS ME WHEN ITS OVER   Chapter 1

    Twenty five years ago, My family was murdered while I hid in a trap door basement. I remember it like it was yesterday. At a suburban area of New Mexico. We surrounded the dining table, my dad, mum and brother Miguel. We had just recited the lords prayer, we were having my favorite, salsa and guacamole. When we heard the first gun shot from a distance. We froze. “Sssh” dad said placing an index finger over his mouth. “Take them to the trap door basement” he instructed my mother. A light whisper as he gets up to retrieve his rifle from beneath the kitchen sink. Miguel starts to cry. “It’s okay baby” she cradles him and grabs my hand. She’s in a hurry, I follow beside her hand in hand almost tripping. Mom gets to the leaving room, gets down on her knees, beside the couch and asks me to help as she pushes it aside. I am only eight. Another gun shot, this time closer. Miguel is shouting now. My whole body shaking, I feel a liquid trail down my pants, I don’t move. “Ma

  • KISS ME WHEN ITS OVER   Chapter 2

    Today had been what one might call a bad day. I lost a business deal and to make matters worse, my car broke down on the way home. I decided to take trip to a bar to get in one or two drinks while it was being fixed. Seated at the bar. Tequila in hand, Bobbed my head to the music. I found myself replaying the days event. I notice a woman a few seats away. Blond hair, flushed cheeks, blue eyes, red lipstick she kept glancing at me. I had just counted her fifth shot when a drunk slid into the seat next to her, holding a bottle of vodka almost empty. “Hey. You sexy looking thing, how about we excuse ourselves from here and head into the back for some action” “Not interested” I heard her say. Turning away. “Aw, Come on lady. It’s not everyday we get to see people like you around here” he places his hand on her shoulder. I notice the look of disgust flash across her face. “She said, she’s not interested” I say pushing off my seat and walking toward them. “Mind your business Turk, m

    Miguel, now thirteen, and I, fifteen, seated in the dark room where our foster father always kept us when we had committed an offense. The air was thick with dust and a scent of damp wood. He would be back soon. Miguel shifted beside me. Even in the darkness I could tell he was trembling. His eyes kept wandering to the locked door. I, on the other hand, was angry. “Miguel, we have to try again” I whispered. “No” so softly I could barely hear. “Miguel” “No, I listened to you, and now we are here. I don’t want to anymore, Manuel, I can’t. And what’s your plan when we finally leave. How will we survive?” he’s crying now. “The money mama and papa left to us, I still have the documents and bank details contained in the envelope, we don’t need to stay here any longer”“I am scared, Manuel”“I know Miguel, but remember what mom said. We are brave and we have each other I would never allow anything happen to you I promise. I need you to trust me and just do what I say, we would try a

    “Don’t you watch where you are” I stop myself halfway. I notice a woman, blond hair wearing a floral printed two piece, arms full of books she’s trying to hold on to. “Rebecca!, oh shit this is so clumsy of me, my mind is preoccupied”. I kneel to pick up the scattered papers. “And you are?” She squints her eyes still hugging the books to her chest. “The guy? From the bar? The other night?” I hand her the papers watching her closely. “Ohhh, yes, the hot man from the bar, how could I forget” she winks. She thinks I am hot? I slide my hands in my pocket. “How did the tequila treat you the next morning, did you find your excitement ?”She laughs. “Okay, tease me now, it’s allowed”“What is a fine lady like you doing around here and with all these” I say pointing to the books on chest. “Nothing really” her eyes glance from behind me to her surrounding making me to turn around for a brief moment. I am dropping this off for someone, my father actually” “Oh well, daddy’s girl I pres

    I glance in the rear view mirror, it’s not a coincidence, the car has been following me since I left the office. I adjust the rear view mirror. Its headlights are dim and a good distance from me. I speed up slightly making a sharp left turn at the corner. The car follows my movement. My heart races. This isn’t random. I accelerate, driving the car faster. I decided to take the higher way. I glance at the rear view mirror again. Still behind me a few cars in its front. I take zig zag motions moving from land to lane. I hear horns. And notice an old lady flash me the finger, I don’t mind. I take the round about and head into a quiet neighborhood. I have Lost him. I move to the side of the road and park. This has something to do with the envelope. I might have to inform Mike. It’s evening. Still shaken from yesterday, I pull up to the front of a fancy looking house with a small gate I could see through its bars. I could see the front yard. The scenery is explicit, flowers of diff

    Donald’s POVRebecca had told me how famished she was, so we drove through McDonald’s and ordered takeout. two burgers, large fries, and milkshakes that were half melted by the time we parked. I drive to the beach, one of my favorite quiet spots, and we stay in the car with the windows rolled halfway, letting the evening breeze circulate. We eat with the wrappers spread out between us, taking large bites, talking with our mouths full, laughing whenever the sauce splurges from the burgers and lands somewhere it shouldn’t. Rebecca has ketchup on her chin at one point, and I reach out with a napkin, dabbing it off gently. She rolls her eyes but smiles.“This is so messy,” she says, holding up her hands in defeat.“You’re lucky you’re pretty,” I tease.She sticks her tongue out at me, then pops a fry into her mouth. “And you’re lucky I’m starving.”When we finish, I step out of the car and stretch. I walk around to the other side and open her door with a bow.“Madam,” I say dramatically.

    My eyes shift to my surrounding. I notice people staring. Marylin is using a hand to fan herself. She’s so dramatic. Donald has a wide grin on his face. I walk down to meet him. A sly smile on my face. “Is this your idea of an apology” I pluck a rose and sniff it. “ well, I was hoping you would forgive a clumsy gentleman like myself” he’s staring at me. “If this is for me to forgive you, it nighh be working” I say teasing him. “ I would like us to leave here ” I whisper “ people are staring. He chuckles, his eyes never leaving mine. “Hope in Madame. I promise not to bribe you with more flowers” “Like the way you just did?” I roll my eyesHe opens the car door for me like a perfect gentleman, of course he would and I slide in, trying to Steady my racing heart. He walks to the drivers seat and tosses the bouquet gently at the back seat. Before he starts the car there is a loud knock by my window that makes me jump. It’s Marylin. “Well?” She whispers. “Are you seriously going t

    Donald’s POV Back home, I stand by the window, staring out into the dark like I would find answers. My phone feels heavy on my palms, no call from the blackmailers, no threats, no updates and I can’t reach them. Just silence. And silence is always worst. I pace back and forth. A hundred things running through my mind. I should have burned the envelope the day I got it. My eyes twitch. I open the safe again, the contents are still the same except for the envelope. And rebecca? I haven’t spoken to her in while Shit. I reach for my phone. Ten missed calls. I see messages. I move to my call log, my hand hovers over her name. I exhale and run a hand through my hair. What if Rebecca finds out? What if Delmont finds out? I place the phone on the table. I can’t drag Rebecca into this? She doesn’t know the kind of man I am. If she ever finds out this version of me she wouldn’t want to stay. My chest is heavy. I collapse into the chair. My head buried in

    Mikes POV The moment Donald’s slams the door on his way out, the silence in the room is deafening. I light another cigarette with shaky hands, the smoke doing nothing to calm the storm going on in my head. Those bastards. They stole the envelope. Kept the photos and I did not see it coming. I grab the envelope again and flip through its contents. Maybe Donald missed something. But no. The photos are gone. The only proof of that night vanished. My jaw clenches and my fist roll into a ball. I feel the burn in my chest.Someone ratted us out. Has to be, someone close to me. Someone around here and I have got a good damn idea who that might be. I storm out of the vip room, ignoring the girl waiting outside wearing a lace and red lipstick. She tries to touch my arm but I brush her off. The bouncers part like water when they see the look in my eyes.I head straight to the back where staffs and low life’s hang out. They stiffen when they see me coming. I like the sound of that. Good.

    Frantic, I drive straight to Mike’s. I don’t bother knocking, I have the key. Andrew my head is spinning to many thoughts to care about manners. The house is quiet. Until I walk into the living room and nearly collide with a half naked woman scrambling to cover herself with a bedsheet. She has a British accent and a smile that tells me maybe she thought I was someone else. “Where is Mike” I ask not interested in small talk or the way she was trying to adjust her bra. “I don’t know” she smirks. “He said he would be back home later…maybe you could keep me company instead. I turn around and leave. There is only one other place he might be. The club. The club is loud and bubbling with music. Cigarette smoke fills the air. Red and blue lights illuminate the room, bodies pressed against each other. I squeeze through. “Hey, my man” I hear from a distance. I give a thumbs up not ready for a conversation. I spot him in the vip section, surrounded by bouncers and a drunk woman. He h
