Chavez heaved a heavy sigh. "yes." Chavez answered, as if he was ashamed, but he still looked Jacinto in the eye.
Jacinto huffed. "ok, so what is it that you wanted?" Jacinto asked even more annoyed, his eyes even had a look of annoyance.
"your sister." Chavez simply said, that cold look in his eyes remaining when he spoke.
"yes what about her?" Jacinto's annoyed look in his eyes went to a confused one, his eye brows raised up slightly.
"I think I'm in love with her." Chavez answered bluntly. He was always the one to be blunt about things.
Jacinto's blue eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His so called 'enemy' was in love with his sister. "w-what?" Jacinto asked. His eyes full of .
"you heard me."
"yes I did."
There was silence between the two for a couple moments until Jacinto began to speak again. "are you sure you love her?" he asked, his eyes and voice filling with seriousness now.
"yes." Chavez answered, with as much seriousness as Jacinto. "every time I look at her," he said referring to right now. "even if I just think about her," he continued. "my heart begins to race and stomach feels sick." he said.
"sounds like love to me." Jacinto sighed.
"Jacinto?"
"yes?" Jacinto asked Chavez.
"you're alright?" Chavez answered, a slight smirk or smile appearing on his face.
"what?"
"you're alright." Chavez repeated. "every night I'd put a blade up to your's and Steve's throat, while you two were asleep. I'm glad I didn't kill you." Chavez said smirking.
Jacinto was smirking as well. "oh the irony." Jacinto said smugly.
"huh?"
"I would also put a blade up to your throat while you were sleeping." Jacinto said, his smirk growing.
Chavez's confused look morphed into a smirk. He out stretched his hand towards Jacinto. Jacinto took his hand and shook it.
"so, truce?" Jacinto asked hopefully. Chavez nodded. "well, what're you standing here for? Go tell Leighana you love her!" Jacinto said to Chavez smiling.
Chavez nodded, a slight smile on his lips. Chavez walked back to the front of the house, where the rest of the group was, Alex and Billy were still arguing. He shifted his eyes toward Leighana, she was listening closely to the conversation, making sure she didn't miss one detail about the situation and the regulators were in, that included her half brother Jacinto.
Jacinto walked back to his place by Charlie. Charlie gave him a questioning look but he dismissed it by shrugging his shoulders, grinning, as if saying "eh, don't worry about."
Chavez walked over to Leighana. He gently grabbed her arm. Leighana looked up at Chavez with her big blue eyes, confusion blended with the blue irises. Chavez motioned her with his hand to follow him.
Leighana looked at the rest of the group, they were throwing the two confused stares, just like they had with Chavez and Jacinto. They quickly stopped staring and continued with their conversations and such.
Chavez quickly, but gently, pulled her to the same place that he and Jacinto and spoke. When the rest of the group was out of earshot Chavez placed his hands over Leighana's shoulder and looked down at her.
Leighana blinked. "y-yes, Chavez?" she asked, her voice, slight tone of. She could feel blood rushing to her cheeks. Ever since she had met him she felt weird, a weird warm and fuzzy feeling prickling inside her chest. But it was a good feeling, everyday, before John was killed, just standing next to hi made her feel that way. She welcomed the feeling. Her mother had told her if she ever had that feeling to welcome.
But why would she listen to her mother, after she kicked her out? A month ago Leighana had gotten a letter that said Murphy and his men came to her old home where her parents still were, and basically killed her father, it said nothing about her mother. Why? Because apparently her father, Leroy, had betrayed them, how, the reason was unknown to her.
It only mentioned her father being killed, it didn't say anything about her mother. For all she knew her mother could still be alive. But for now it had to left unknown. So that was the whole reason as to why she was going to live with her uncle John Tunstall.
"do you know what me and your brother were talking about just now?" Chavez asked slowly leaning his forehead against Leighana's. Leighana's eyes slightly widened a little.
She shook her head.
"you."
"y-you were talking about me?" Leighana asked stuttering. "why?" What was he trying to get at? Leighana had a slight idea.
"you want me to be blunt about this…?" Chavez asked trailing off as a slight smile covered over his lips again. "…Leona?" the nickname for Leighana rolled off his tongue and lips with no trouble, as if he was actually meant to be saying that to her, well if you know what I mean.
Leighana's cheeks flushed a darker shade of crimson as she slowly nodded.
"I'm in love with you." the words rolled off of the Mexican Indians tongue and lips.
Leighana's blue eyes were almost as wide as plates, they was a glint of happiness in her eyes though. "y-you mean it?" she asked still stuttering, she wasn't very good in these situations.
"of course."
A smile morphed over Leighana's pale pink lips. "good, because I feel the same way." she said happily.
Chavez also smiled. His arms slid around her, taking her into an embrace. Leighana hugged him back.
