A knock on the door.
I storm to the door angrily, praying that it's not Zara because I'll get angry allover again if it's her.
But it's not her.
"CJ? Jake?"
I'm surprised.
CJ is staring at me, his face lighting up with a smile. "You look good."
I roll my eyes. "Are you kidding me? An ugly big sweater and denim shorts? Please!"
CJ is observing me from head to toe. "That's exactly how you looked the first day."
I'm confused. "What day?"
"The first day I met you."
I burst out a laugh. "No. The first day you met me I was in a skirtsuit and you splashed water on my feet!"

Jake cuts in. "Whatever... Whateve

I'm covering myself with the sheet so tight against my ears so that I don't hear him. I don't want to listen to whatever he has to say."I know you don't want to listen but this is what really happened," CJ says getting closer towards me. "Fidel and I decided to clear up our issues and bury the hatchet. I figured I should do the same with his wife. Everybody was making noise in the living room so we went outside to talk things out. As I was talking, she suddenly grabbed me and kissed me forcefully. I was stiff and startled and it took me a while to draw back. Then she told me that she needed that. Kissing me convinced her that it's her husband she wanted. It's her husband she wanted to kiss forever. We then talked for a few minutes about her husband and about you..."I'm silent.I pretend I'm sleeping.I feel him lay a hand on my shoulder and I jerk back." Atleast say something, Terra...

I knew that was a lie. CJ rarely works on weekends.CJ turns off the engine and sits there silently for a moment.He then grunts. "Go."I know he doesn't want to talk to me.

"Just get me there."I take my phone and dial CJ's number for the tenth time.He's not picking up my calls.I swallow back tears when a horrible thought of him flying away crosses my mind.What if I never see him again?
