"I'm so sorry! Lo siento mucho!" (I'm very sorry.) She cooed into my ear.
"It's okay. Stop apologizing." Her voice was beginning to crack. "I almost lost you from my stupidity. Don't you dare apologize for something that's not your fault." She began to shake as she sobbed. I moved my head to look at her.
"Why are you crying?" She wiped away the tears.
"Te amo. Te amo." (I love you. I love you.) I smiled at her as she hid her face. I took her hand in mine.
"Te amo, Bonita." (I love you, beautiful.) I turned her head to look at me and moved the hair from in front of her face. Her eyes were puffy and red, and her cheeks were flushed. She was still shaking. I pulled her closer to me and brushed my lips over hers. She was surprised at first, but then she responded.
Her fingers found their way into my hair. We pulled away and I tucked the hair behind her ear. "It'll be okay from now on. Okay?" She nodded her head. I kissed the top of her head. "I have to get home now, Page. You're more than welcomed to stay with me. Todd won't mind." She smiled and started her truck. She drove me back to my car and she followed me back to the house.
*Page's Pov*
I was wrapped in a soft warm blanket, in a seperate room from Maria. She didn't want her husband to come home and find us like that. I was almost sound asleep, when I began to hear moaning coming from the other room. Of course, it was Maria and Todd. Their screaming was annoying, and I covered my ears with the pillow.
The next morning, I didn't get out of bed until noon. I padded down the stairs to find Maria sitting on the couch, sipping her coffee. "Shouldn't we be at school?" I asked. She jumped slightly, turned, and smiled at me.
"I called us both in. I didn't want to wake you," she said as she got up. She appeared to be having issues walking about. I approached her and held her hands in mine.
"Is there a reason why you are walking funny?" Her face turned bright red. I laughed. "It doesn't help when I was laying in the next room." Her eyes widened and I laughed again. I kissed her cheek and picked her up.
She squealed in surprise and I plopped her on the couch. I sat down next to her and she threw her legs over me. She crawled into my lap and straddled me. I giggled. "Maria, what are you doing?" She smiled.
"Trying to thank you for being so kind to me. I didn't get a chance to thank you for saving me last night either." She had a mischievous gleam in her eyes as she started to unbutton her shirt.
We heard the door open and she jumped off my lap, re buttoning her shirt. A tall man with a full head of black hair walked into the room, swooped down, and kissed Maria's cheek. She smiled. "Hi, honey," he said.
"Hi, baby." She turned and they kissed. Todd turned his head and held out his hand to me.
"You must be Violet. Hello, I'm Todd." I smiled and shook his hand. "Maria has told me a lot about you." I forced a smile.
"I've heard a lot about you too." He turned back to Maria and picked her up.
"I'm going to borrow my wife for awhile if you don't mind." Her face was in pure shock as I nodded my head and they headed for the stairs. Nearly an hour later, Todd came back downstairs. "I'm going back to work. Maria is in the shower." I nodded my head and he left without another word.
After I heard his car back out of the driveway, I went up stairs. I snuck into their room and heard the shower running. I quietly peeled off my clothes. I walked into her bathroom and pulled the curtain aside. Maria screamed in surprise, but her eyes widened at the sight of my naked body.
"Mind if I join you?" I asked. She moved aside and I climbed in beside her, closing the curtain behind me. The warm water hit my back and soaked my hair. She covered herself up and back up against the wall. "Are you okay?" She nodded her head and I came closer to her.
I went to wrap my arms around her, but she threw the curtain aside, and got out. She wrapped a towel around herself and hurried to her bedroom. I sighed and followed her out, grabbing a towel on the way. I watched as she got dressed and climbed into her bed.
"Everything okay?" I asked as I wrapped the towel around me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just go away please."
"But I-"
"Go away, Violet!" I ran out of the room and got dressed. I grabbed my phone and went for a walk, dialing Eden's number.
"What's up, baby girl?" she asked. I broke down.
"Eden, I don't think I can do this anymore."
"Trouble in paradise?"
"Sort of." I started to explain everything to her.
"I'm coming to get you. I'll be there in another week." With that she hung up.
