Chapter Five: 'I never thought it would be like this"
Javier opened the metal gate at the entrance of his place and walked through, still holding Katie's hand. As they walked through the house to his room Katie apologized for what had happened at the club.
"Javier, I am seriously so sorry and as I said before, I never wanted this to happen."
"Its ok mi hermoso. We are together now," He pulled her in close, their bodies connecting with one another. Katie looked up and smiled, it reminded her of how it used to be two years ago. Javier sat down on the edge of the bed while Katie found a damp cloth to wipe the blood away from his lip. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him again. Katie carefully cleaned the wound and placed the cloth down. She gently traced her finger over his lip,
"It should heal quickly and you still look good," she joked and both smiled at the remark. Javier slowly rose to his feet and placed a light hand under her chin. He leaned down towards her mouth and just as they were about to kiss she pulled away. Troubled by this action she said,
"Look Javier, as much as I want to do this.... I just can't... I am with Joshua now and I have to be loyal to him." She glanced at the clock on the wall which read 2am. "I have to go its late," she looked up at him again, "I'm sorry."
Frustrated by her actions Javier replied, "Fine, go back to your Joshua. I am sure he needs all the comforting he can get."
Katie frowned a little and left the room. She decided to walk to the hotel instead of taking a cab and took an hour to get home. When she did she quietly opened the door and let herself in. Joshua and hers room was dark and from the moonlight she could see a faint outline of a figure in the bed. She quietly crept in and went into the an-suite and got changed. When she came out a deep angry voice spoke out.
"How was he? Not to badly beaten I am sure. Did you comfort him alright?" Joshua turned the bedside lamp on and Katie was suddenly aware of the bruising all over his face and body.
"Oh my gosh, oh my poor honey. I never meant to inflict this on you, I cannot believe this happened." Katie was genuinely shocked at the state of her boyfriend. She heard him give a sarcastic laugh.
"what were you thinking, dancing like that with him. You looked like you were making love dancing with him. You have never been that passionate with me, why with him?"
"He was just an old friend, nothing more," Katie lied, "it meant nothing. It is just the way they dance here, you have to do it to fit in."
"So it meant nothing at all? You seemed pretty distant until you saw him. What was that all about?"
"I am sorry if I seemed that way. I did not mean it, really. Oh Josh-" Katie climbed into the bed and lay a hand upon his bare chest, "you are the one in my life"
"mmm, I know baby. I just don't want to be messed with. No more dancing like that ok?"
"Ok." Joshua kissed Katie's forehead and turned off the light. As they lay in each others arms Katie could not sleep. The nights events kept her awake and she thought about Javier and Josh and what a deceitful liar she had become towards her boyfriend so she wouldn't hurt him.
.
Early the next morning she got up and saw that Joshua was still asleep. 'poor guy,' she thought, 'he wont be able to leave the hotel for a week.' Secretly Katie was almost relieved as it gave her more opportunities to see Javier, alone.
As she walked through the streets of Havana, shops and cafes were opening, musicians already starting to play their instruments. Katie closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. This was the life she wanted. She wanted to be free in Cuba to do as she wanted, to see whom she wanted. As she walked one café caught her eye. It was the café in which she and Javier has started practicing in, she decided to enter and order breakfast. As she sat, the waiter came up from behind her and placed a menu in front of her.
"Thanks" she said and turned to look at who was serving her. Her eyes widened at the sight, "Javier!" he looked at her with a straight face, "Hola Senorita, what can I get for you?"
"Javier, please do not be angry with me. I had to go back to the hotel. He's my boyfriend..."
"Oh yeah, but do you Really love him?" she lowered her lashes and in response said, "no, I don't, but that does not give me the right to treat him badly. I do like him.... a lot. I cannot just break up with him." To stop the tension build up between the two, Katie changed the subject, 'What time do you finish?"
"twelve, why?"
"Meet me down on the beach so then we can talk." They both agreed to the time and place to meet. After Katie finished her breakfast she went down to the markets and shopped until twelve.
She was already waiting down on the beach for him when he arrive. The wind was blowing her long blonde hair away from her face giving her a 'wind- swept' look. When she saw him, her face lit up and she smiled. He could not resist her beauty or her joy and forgave her immediately. Over the next couple of days they spent their time down on the beach in each others arms. They had not kissed yet, but they physical contact was enough for the time being. They watched the sunsets and the sunrises, spent breakfast and lunch together. Their love and passion was growing to the extent where they did not want to leave each others arms.
Katie was barely home and spent little time with Joshua, who now was realizing what was happening. She was slipping through his fingers and falling out of love with Javier. Although he was reassured by Suzie and James that Katie was spending her days with old friends, not the poor Cuban boy, he still had his doubts. His bruising had gone down and was now fit for leaving his hotel. One afternoon he looked outside and saw what a beautiful day it was. He decided to go down to the beach for a swim. While he was walking down he saw two figures, embraced in one another. As he came closer he saw that it was Katie and the Spanish boy. Furious, he rushed off to a bar where he drowned himself in alcohol. 'I cannot believe that bitch!' he though furiously, 'all week while I have been injured and in bed she has been off screwing around with her Spanish guy. She'll get what's coming at her, she'll get it all right........'
