Chapter Twenty Nine
Javier Lorenzo
“Good morning, baby”. Lula said groggily as she kissed me.
“Good morning, mi amor”. I replied, returning her kisses. I ran my fingers through her hair, deepening the kiss. She tastes so good. She put her hands under the white covers and massaged my early morning boner. Her hands worked wonders, but there was something else I wanted wrapped around it.
The drapes in my room let in a little sunlight as Sunday morning made itself known. Lula was probably right, keeping our relationship away from the press is great. We don’t get to have people following us around like little puppies.
She does really cute gestures for me like cooking, or she tries to cook. If almost burning the house down is our love language, then I’ll let her speak it to me anytime.
Just as she was about to get down on me, her phone rang. She checked the screen and her body tensed up. “What’s wrong?” I asked.
She shook her head. “Nothing, I’ll just need to get this.” She ran into the bathroom and answered her call. I closed my eyes and continued trying to sleep. Her call must have taken forever because, by the time she got back, I had fallen into a deep sleep. She shook my shoulder. “Baby, I need to go see my mom”
I opened my eyes halfway. “You sure?”
“Yeah.” A worried look in her eyes.
I sat up. “What is the matter?”
“Nothing, I just-I just need to see her”
“Should I take youth-?”
“No!” She answered before I could finish my question. “I mean, maybe another time.” She excused herself and went into the bathroom and I went back to sleep. I felt her kiss on my forehead when she was leaving but I was too sleepy to acknowledge her.

I groaned when a pair of soft hands rubbed me. “You’re back already?” I asked in a husky voice. There was no answer and I felt as though something was wrong. Lula’s hands felt different.
I snapped my eyes open and looked to see the intruder, just as I thought. “Rosa”
She smiled down at me, “Yes baby, it’s me”.
I shoved her off and I got down from the bed. “What the fuck are you doing in my house?”
She stood in her body-hugging red dress. “Oh come on, Lorenzo, don’t be like this. You poor thing”. She attempted to come closer but I raised a warning finger.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“You should be in jail”.
She grinned. “You don’t know how powerful my family is, Lorenzo. They found no reason to arrest me, so here I am. I promise you, we’ll make such a great team, with your talent and my money, you and I can become unstoppable.”
“Get away from me, Rosa. Out of my house”
Her eyes started watering. “Why? So she can come back and enjoy everything I worked for?”
I grew perplexed. “Everything you work for? Are you crazy? You worked for nothing, you only stood idly by while I did all the work. Don’t delude yourself.”
“Lorenzo, don’t be so stubborn, please. Remember your mother, she is such a nice woman.”
I could only see red at this juncture. I grabbed her by the neck. “If anything happens to my mom, I’ll kill you. Do you hear me?”
Her eyes held so much fear as she stared into my eyes, so I let her go. I opened the door and forced her out. “Please, Lorenzo, don’t send me away.” She cried as I dragged her down the stairs. “I’m sorry for what I did. I truly love you! Please give me one more chance!”
“I don’t want to ever see you again, Rosa! Get yourself and disappear from my life!”
Her eyes darkened. “Then I’ll make Lula disappear too! I’ll kill her if you reject me, Lorenzo.” She went on her knees. “I just want your love, is that too much to ask? Why does my mistake have to require such a grave punishment? Lula made a mistake too but you forgave her”
“What mistake is that?” I asked.
“You and I know how she rejected you in front of the entire world. She doesn’t love you, Lorenzo. She only wants Carlos so she can boost her career. You are her plaything.” She got to her feet and wiped off her tears. “Remember when we started dating, I told everyone about us immediately. I am not ashamed of you, my darling, but she is.”
“Rosa, please leave.” I tried to ignore everything that came out of her mouth, even though it broke my heart. I refuse to believe any of them. Lula will never hurt me like that. Never.
“If you don’t believe me, then go to her office right now”. She insisted.
“Gosh, Rosa! Enough! She is at her mother’s place.”
“Is that what she told you? Well then, there’s nothing to lose if you go there just to be sure. I suggest you hurry, Lorenzo. That way, you will know that I am the only one in the world with your best interest at heart. She walked out of my house.
I was left in an internal turmoil, should I go to Lula’s office just to prove that she is innocent of Rosa’s accusations? I trust Lula and this would ruin that trust between us. I can’t do it.
I picked up the call and dialed Lula’s number. She picked up. “Hey, I’m kinda busy”
“Where are you?” I asked.
There was a silence on the other line, followed by some shuffling. “Um, I told you I was going to see my momma, didn’t I?”
“Where are you, Lula?”
She paused. “With my mom. I have to go”. She hung up quickly.
Very well then, since you’re in your momma’s house, it won’t hurt for me to check out your office, right Lula?
I got dressed up and took my car heading straight for Lula’s office building…
