A PICTURE OF LOVE

10 Are you jealous?

Miguel's pov

I woke up with a throbbing headache, I tried standing up but my limbs protested as I groaned.

Trying to recall what happened yesterday, I could not, after I tried again realization hit me hard, the memories her begging under me came flooding like a bomb in my head, I bet she was scared as hell she did not cry and I actually did not expect her to.

I was about to go look for her but I heard soft snores beside me, I stared at her as she slept peacefully, after what happened yesterday I expected her to lock herself in her room or maybe take the chance and run away in my weak state but she stayed by my side all night,

I felt my body tense as my eyes trailed at hickeys I gave her on her neck down to her boobs.

I dragged my hairs tightly gritting my teeth, I will make sure to kill that bastard for what she made me do to woman I love,

I can't believe I actually said that word 'Love' it's a very strong word and I knew it but then I loved her, the more she kept pushing me away the more I keep loving her.

Hey you're going to hurt yourself I cant believe she's the one being concerned over me instead of it being the other way round.

She gave me some drugs and stared into space as if she was lost.

"I am-" I started but she cut me off

"I know it's not your fault, it's okay I am fine" she said assuring me

"Your neck, does -it –hurt?" I asked my voice showing the guilt

"A little but I'm fine" she said using her hair to cover it, I knew she was lying,

She thought she eased my pain by saying that, no she didn't, she just increased the feeling of guilt in me.

"I'll go prepare your shower" she said when she noticed I kept staring at the bruise on the other side of her neck, she rushed into the bathroom and came out five minutes later helping me stand up on my feet to the toilet.

I pulled the shirt over my head as she covered her eyes with hands immediately,

"Hey, I'm still in here" she said running out of the toilet, I chuckled slightly at that.

I wrapped a towel around me and walked into the room, putting on a grey joggers and a plain white shirt I walked out of the room,

I dialed Ricardo's number as he picked after the first ring.

"How are you feeling?"he said in a serious tone unlike usual, something was so off.

"I am fine, what happened to you?"

"Your father called" he said as I stiffened

"What did he say? did you tell him about it?" I asked hoping the answer would be no

"He knew, that was why he called, he said that he would kill me if anything happens to you" "Better protect yourself I'm not ready to die in the hands of my best friend's father" he joked

"I want you to caught the business deal we had with Viktors conglomerate" I said in a cold tone

"Yes sir" he replied straightly as I cut the call sighting my Tesoro.

I walked into the kitchen and spotted her in s baggy shirt that covered her frame to her thigh, and I wished it was my cloth she was wearing, that thought made me smile like a kid who just a stick suit.

I quickly covered it when she turned around,

"I prepared chicken soup for you, it will help a little with your headache" I actually forgot about the headache since I saw her earlier in my room.

She served the food on the table before, but I could think of what was going on, she started blowing it lightly, she stretched the spoon towards my mouth and I felt very embarrassed about it,

"I can eat by myself you know" I said trying to make her change her mind but she was not ready to do so she brought her free hand to my mouth pressing my checks for me to open up,

"A-a "she said as I reluctantly opened it, I stared at her as she feed me, she was so into it as if it was the most important thing at that moment as if nothing mattered but the food she was feeding me, it made me happy but the thought of her doing this because I'm not well hurt me too, after she put the last spoon of soup in my mouth she stood up and I thought she was going to wash the dish but what she said did not match with what I thought,

"Don't go anywhere I want to get more soup" she said like a mother warning her child.

"What? but I'm okay"

"Are you sure? she asked giving me that' I hope you are not lying' look"

"Yes, I'm full" I said rubbing my stomach, I hope this moment could last forever

'Okay then, go have some rest, make sure to sleep for hours" she said

"I'm fine" I said, I'm not used to sleeping too much "I have to go to work now"

"What? work? now? but you are not feeling well" she said and I swear I saw sadness in her eyes

"I won't be gone for long, I promise"

Andreia's pov

For the past few weeks, my feelings for Miguel grew stronger, I keep yearning for his touch, I missed his presence so much anytime he was not around, if this is love then I can't hide the fact that I love him, I didn't want to admit it but I have to,

"Andreia" he called, I was shocked this was the first time he used my actual name,

"Hm" I replied not staring at him, I was scared he could see through me

"Look at me" he demanded but I did not, I kept my gaze on my feet, he lifted my chin and stared deep into my eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"Nothing" I said but he didn't buy it, not even one bit,I tried removing his hands from my face but he held me still in place,

"Nothing is wrong with me" I said again

"I won't repeat myself again"he warned making me shudder in fear

"Who was the girl of yesterday? you had lipstick on your lips" I said and was finally relieved of the thought in my mind,

"Is that what is bordering you?"

"Yes" I said staring into his eyes 'and the fact that I love you' I thought

"It was my fiancée" he said and it stabbed me hard

"Hm" I said, I could not let him see the hurt in my eyes,

"You don't need to worry about her, shes just someone my dad arranged for me and I'm not interested in her" he stopped to watching my reactions

"She was the one who drugged you right?" I asked

"Yes" he replied shortly

"Was she the one you kissed?"I asked hoping he would say no this time,

"Yes"

"Did you sleep with her?"I asked this dreaded question,

"No, I did not" he said "Are you jealous?" he asked with an amused smirk
