Chapter 18

I bent down and felt like my head exploded at the thought.  I was pissed because I had lost sight of Elisa, I chased her after I thought deeply, but I was late because she was gone and wherever I looked for her I saw no Elisa.

Fuck you Smael, it's your fault.

"Boss, she's gone, we've reached the town of the market but we don't see her."

I raised my face because of what Alex said, she couldn't disappear right away because she didn’t know this place and she didn’t have a car.  I close my eyes. My senses seem to be hurting because just now when Elisa spoke I felt something until she left and that's when I fully understood my feelings.

I was aroused in deep thought when my cellphone rang, I took it to the side of my coat.  When I look at the screen, an unknown number is calling me.  I answered but didn't speak I just let it go first.

"Smael, how are you?"

I was stunned by the man's voice because it was familiar to me.

"Don't you remember me anymore? All I know is that we used to be friends, right?"  He laughed again on the other line.

"I don't have fucking friends like you!"  I answer because I already remember who is Javier Guevarra.  I heard her crouching weak laugh.

"You're still not changing Smael, your head is too hot. But maybe your head is getting hotter and maybe even your ears are smoky from what you see."

I was shocked because of what he said and I felt like I was nervous that I didn't feel like that idiot.  The call end and I looked at Alex who was just silent on the side until a file image entered my message.  When I opened it, I didn’t like it and I didn’t expect to see Elisa while closing her eyes.  My hand shook and my cellphone rang again.

"Fuck you! What did you do to her you fucking idiot!"  I shouted when I answered and I was even more annoyed because of his laughter.

"Just relax Smael, I haven't touched her finger yet. But maybe later I'll do something, she's beautiful and very sexy."  Her voice was teasing.

"She's my woman, you don't touch her did you understand?"  I spoke seriously and calmed myself down because maybe that's what he will do to Elisa and I can't accept that.

"That's what I want Smael, you're just calm because you know me when I'm annoyed. If you want to catch this woman, you know where to find me."

Shit!

I was cheap in my mind and I was walking around because I couldn’t believe Elisa was with them.

"Suddenly that Javier alive again, there was probably a staff of that scouting here and they saw Elisa."

I looked at Alex, because of what he said and that's all I thought.

"What are you going to do boss?"

Alex asked, I didn't answer and thought.

"I'll take care of it because this time he can't escape me."  My language is serious.

Never touch Elisa, Javier.  Because I’m not going to stop not being able to kill you even a few more times.

------------

"Elisa,"

Francis couldn't believe his words when he saw me and his face showed a lack of sleep due to his deepening eyes.

"You know him?" He asks me.

Francis and I both looked away at the same time because of this man who said I had never met him.

"Yes, Javier. She's my friend."  Francis replied.

"Good then,"  Javier replied with a smile that his name was.

"Francis, I want to leave and just go home to our province. Please help me."  I was stunned as he pulled me into Javier's arm.

"You're not leaving here."

"Javier, can you give it to me? Don't Elisa, there are so many women there."  I stared because of what Francis said.

"Then your name is Elisa,"  Javier said while he was still holding me.  "But when it comes to this thing, you have nothing to do with it."

Francis and I looked at each other because of what Javier said.

"She's my friend, Javier, even if you just give it to me. Let him go."  Francis spoke again with a serious face.

"You're my sister's husband and somehow I don't think of you as an opponent. But if you insist on what you want, I might forget that you're my brother-in-law?"

My eyes widened when I saw Javier's gun aimed at Francis and even clinging to his chest and I didn't expect that Christine was Javier's sister.  Francis was about to speak but I looked at him and shook my head to tell him not to speak.  Because I don't want anything bad to happen to him because I and Javier don't seem to be joking just in case.

"Go home so Christine might be looking for you."

"I'm looking for him!"

The three of us looked away because of the loud voice, I didn’t expect what happened next because it slapped, Francis.

"Damn! You almost killed me, you idiot! And you woman, it's because of your that Francis looks so useless."  Its language was furious while he was just quiet, Francis.

Christine wanted to catch up with me but Javier immediately pulled me away and took me to his side.

"Can you bring that woman to me!"  Christine was still screaming.

"Stop it and get out of here."  Javier's authoritative language.

"What? Don't say that even you Javier are obsessed with that flirtation and--"

"Leave."  Javier looks serious and he points the gun at Javier and Christine.

Christine looked at me badly, she turned away and so did Francis.  Javier and I were left alone, Javier left me and walked to the door and he slammed it shut.  I feel weak because of what happened.
