SEQUEL to 'Waiting For Mr. Left'
**This is Book Two of the Fighting Temptation Series.**
Bruce and Alexis are taking a break...or are they...you'll have to read to find out.
Bruce
"Alexis...you know what...whatever...I'm done." I hang up the phone...
I feel sleep start to take me deeper into that peace I was feeling before.
After unconsciousness finally claims me, I feel nothing but peace. It's like I'm floating down a lazy river on a warm summer day. The coolness of the water on my skin. Weightlessness. The sun on my-
HOLD UP! Sun?! I could have sworn it was dark out, last I checked.
I open my eyes, blinking a few times to adjust to the light. Once adjusted I look up into the warm chocolate eyes of a woman I've only seen pictures of. "Abuela?"

She smiles warmly down at me. Running her fingers through my hair, my head on her lap. "Mi pequeno guerrero (my little warrior). He esperado tanto para finalmente conocerte (I've waited so long to finally meet you)."
"What am I doing here? Where are we?"
She smiles at me lovingly.
I sit up and look her int he eyes. "Not that I'm not happy to see you Abuela, but I can't stay here. Alexis and Gabe and Kane-I can't stay! I promised." I stand to my feet looking around. But all I see is endless blades of the greenest grass I've ever seen. A sky so blue it puts the caribbean ocean to shame. Clouds so white they are almost blinding, and so fluffy...
STOP!! I'm getting carried away. I look back at her. "How do I get out of here?"
She shakes her head and laughs softly. "So eager to leave your abuela? I only just met you and now you want to leave?" She huffs playfully.
I smile at her and hug her. It's perfect. Like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold day. I never want to let go. "I guess I can stay for a little while.
KANE
I stand stoically in the front of the hospital. Most likely scaring everyone either entering or leaving. Pops just called. He said he'd be here in 20mins. Shana called me and said she'd just landed.
I remember when we were little. D annoying the hell out of me, following me everywhere I went. I chuckle, remembering his famous words every time I made a fuss about it.
"If you can go, I can go too. I'm a boy just like you."
Pops would laugh... Ma... I shake my head from thoughts of her.
I wonder... If she knew that Daniel was fighting for his life right now. Would she care? Probably not.
I close my eyes to try and clear my head, but I can't. D was always so good at getting me out of my head.
Nayati I know your Einstein a** can hear me. I never have to speak for you to know what I'm thinking. Your ass better not die again. I swear I will rip apart every fu**ing dimension and drag your cocky a** back here by skin of your bolas. You can't stay dead. As your older brother, I forbid it... I can't... I'm not built for this emotional sh** D! I'm not Gabe. But...you not here...is fu**ing torture. I mean WHAT THE FU** D?! YOU PROMISED ALL THIS SH** WOULD BE FINE! I don't! I fu**ing care that it didn't...I just want your pretty a** back here, on this planet alive.
