Page 29 of My best friends little sister

I stand there arms crossed face to face with Mateo. If looks could kill, I would be dead right now. ''Finally! Took you long enough Mateo'' Ivan stands from my chair and walks around us, closing the door and leaning against it. He has a devilish grin on his face, what the fuck is he up to?

I appreciate Ivan looking out for angel.

He would never admit it but I know he sees her as a little sister that needs protecting.

''Angel is just as much to blame here as he is.

I dont want to talk to either of them, now if you excuse me'' Mateo tries to push past Ivan but he doesnt budge, shoving Mateo back into place.

Mateo glares at me and drags out the chair from in front of my desk, sitting on it. ''Fine. Lets talk. Why the fuck are you fucking my little sister of all people?'' he slams his fists down on the desk and I lean forward, trying to show him who the fuck his boss is.

''I'm not 'fucking' your little sister. I already told you I love angelica'' he scoffs and throws his hands in the air. ''Bullshit. Youre using her just like all your other whores''

I can feel myself getting angry but I need to remind myself to calm down, hes not worth fighting. ''Look Mateo. I'm sorry for breaking your trust, I really truly am. However I am not sorry for falling in love with angel, I would do it ten times over. I love her''

Hes glaring at me, arms crossed but I can see the guilt in his eyes. ''I never meant to hurt her...I was so angry at you both and she wouldn't get out of the fucking way. I didn't mean to push her'' his voice is low, almost sad. I can see the guilt is eating him alive.

His arms drop to his sides as he looks at the floor.

I know he feels bad and I dont want to make him feel worse, but he needs to understand the pain he caused angelica.

''She didn't deserve how you treated her.

The things you said, the things you did, she didn't deserve that.

Be mad at me all you want. Punch me, kick me, fucking shoot me for all I care but dont take your anger out on angel''

We sit for a couple minutes in a comfortable silence before Ivan speaks. ''Sooo that went well, but I did expect to see some form of blood and was kind of looking forward to it'' hes got that devilish grin on his face again and I chuckle.

I let go and turn to Mateo ''come on, you still have someone else to talk to'' he hesitates before standing from his chair with a shy nod. I know hes nervous about talking to angel and im nervous too, about how she will react.

We head to my car and drive home. Mateo spends the whole ride playing with his zipper and tapping his foot. We pull up to the front gate and then into the driveway. ''You ready?''

She doesnt respond. I can see that shes scared, almost distrusting of him. He hurt her and now she cant trust that he wont do it again. Mateo walks inside, walking towards angel and she backs up once more, pressing herself against the wall.

Its been about 30 minutes. I haven't heard shouting or anything being thrown or punched and honestly I dont know whats more worrying, the silence or them arguing? Just as I'm about to go downstairs to check on them, angelica walks through the door.

Her face is red and puffy and tears fill her eyes. She walks over to me on the bed and curls beside me. I dont hesitate to wrap my arm around her, pulling her close to me. ''how did it go sweetheart?'' I dont know if her reaction means it went well or not.
