I had thought last night might have been some elaborate dream that I had conjured up. That maybe I had fallen asleep thinking about her again and my mind had played some kind of trick on me. But it was real. She was here, with me and after waking up next to Catalina, I decided at that moment I wanted to wake up next to her forever.
Oh, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
“Well, you two certainly seemed cozy last night,” Gabriel said with a sneer on his face as he leaned back into his chair.
“Nothing happened Gabriel.”
Gabriel sprung from his seat at the island,
“BULLSHIT!”
He strutted over, stopping just a few mere inches from me,
“I told you to stay away from her.”
“And I told you it wasn’t your decision to make!” I stared at my brother as rage wore on his face, death gleaming in his eyes,
“Did you fuck her?”
“WHAT!”
“Did. You. Touch. Her?”
“Nothing happened, we just talked and slept. That is all.”
“What did you say to her?” His voice was lethal as he spoke.
“I told her about who her father is, The Hellfire, and what her mother did, she was upset and needed a friend.”
“I AM HER FRIEND!” Gabriel screamed,
“Well, you sure as hell haven’t been acting like one!”
I heard her soft little footsteps seconds before Catalina entered the kitchen, her hair tousled and eyes puffy.
“What’s going on?”
Gabriel, without taking his eyes off me, answered her.
“I need to speak to my brother privately.”
I looked back at Catalina.
If she tells me to go I’ll go, if not then I’m staying right here.
Her head dipped ever so slightly,
“I’ll get breakfast started while I wait for you guys.”
I turned my gaze back to Gabriel,
“Outside. Now.” I said to him as I brushed past him and walked out the door.

Following Gabriel, we walked the ten minutes it took to get to the small creek in silence.
“Nothing happened Gabriel.”
