I'm seething in anger right now but I'm making sure that I'm pretending to enjoy this.

I know Paco is following us.

I can see a faint trace of a car behind the side mirror.

I smile in spite of myself.

I just immediately relaxed into his arms.

Damn, did he make me feel so good.

I just wanted him to take me right there.

But now, I'm stuck with Josh.

But I have a plan.

We've been driving for about an hour so I figure this is as good as any to put my plan in action.

"Josh," I say, putting my voice into a little girl.

He widens his eyes and clears his throat.

Perfect.

"You seem a bit...happy." He says.

"Yep, that run cleared my head." I lie.

If he knew what kind of run I had, he would completely understand why I'm replaying images of Paco and me in bed, with him on top of me, moving inside of me...

I seriously need to have sex with Paco again.

"Are we any closer?" I ask softly.

"Um, not quite." He says apologetically.

"But I really need something to eat. I'm hungry."

"Why didn't you ask me when we were at the gas station?" He sounds impatient.

"I wasn't hungry then." I say, placing my hand on his thigh.

He stiffens then tightens his hands on the steering wheel.

My hand is literally trying to pull away but I force it to stay still.

I need him to leave so I can ransack his car.

"Please?" I ask in a sweet voice that sickens me.

He ponders this for a bit then relents.

"Alright, there's a McDonald's at the next exit."

"Thank you." I whisper softly and pull back.

My stomach wants to hurl.

We pull on the next exit and he pulls up into the parking.

Good thing there's no drive through.

He turns off the engine.

"Alright, let's go."

"Actually, I kinda wanted to stay in. I've been in heels and I ran and my feet are killing me."

I grab my foot and start rubbing them.

He sighs and rubs his neck.

I see why he's doing that.

When I pull my leg up, the dress rode up higher, showing almost my entire thigh.

"Can you get me a Big Mac meal with chicken mcnuggets with some sweet and sour sauce."

His eyes are wide.

"Anything else?" He says joking.

"Oh yeah, and a mcflurry."

Take that.

"Alright. I'll be back."

"I'll be waiting." I say.

He turns a bit red then gets out and sprints to the door.

I look back and see Paco pulling up.

I stick my head out and wave.

A few seconds later, I see a piece of wing fly out and then a hand out the passenger side.

I giggle.

Now, it's time to get to work.

I open the glove compartment and dig through.

There's a hill of paper and napkins and...a thong?

Eww.

I use a paper to move it aside.

There's nothing there.

I don't know what I'm looking for but I'll know it when I see it.

I close the glove compartment and move across the seat to look under the driver seat.

I feel a hand smack my butt and I look up ready to kill the culprit when I see Paco beaming at me.

"Paco! You scared me!" I say as I resume my search.

"Couldn't help it. Your finely toned ass was practically out the window. I couldn't resist."

And to prove his point, he smacks my ass again.

"Paco!" I get up and turn to Paco.

He just crosses his arms on the window.

I lean out and kiss him softly.

"You should get back in your car before Josh gets here."

There's a slight anger in his eyes.

"Like I give a fuck with that pendejo."

It's obvious Paco hates him.

I do, too.

I grab him by his hair and pull his lips down to mine.

I kiss him passionately and he groans softly.

I pull back.

"Where's Ethan?" I ask as I move to the back seat.

"He's getting a meal. You and him are like beasts when it comes to food."

"Really? Then, you need to keep me fed." My voice is muffled as I look under the seats again.

"I know how to satisfy your...hunger." His voice goes deep and it sends a shiver down my spine.

I move to the other seat and I see a black box.

"Bingo!" I yell as I pull the box out.

It's a bit heavy and I lift it up onto my lap.

Paco opens the door and stares.

It's not even locked.

I hesitate.

I don't know why but I just do.

"Julianna?" Paco asks. "What's wrong?"

"What if it's true? What if everything in here shows that he fucked up my life? What do I do, then?" I ask quietly.

I'm nervous and worried.

What will I do?

I sense Paco climbing in and I feel his finger lift my chin up.

"I don't know what we're going to do but I do know that I'm going to be with you. I'll be by your side no matter what." He says seriously.

He kisses me gently, softly and places his hand over mine.

I drink in his strength and pull away.

"Okay."

I open the box slowly, my heart racing in anticipation.

We're holding our breath and when it's fully open, we gasp.
