Why the hell would he do this to me? I know he is upset that I don't want to be with him but to make something up like that how stupid does he think I am. I actually pause for a second did he really say his eyes were black?

I can't help it I burst out laughing. I'm laughing loud and hard as Jose looks at me like I'm crazy. He thinks I'm the crazy one and he's talking about black eyes. I somehow manage to calm my laughter down so I can speak.

"Jose you're kidding me." I try not to smile.

"Ana I'm serious both his eyes were completely black." He is still holding my hand as he tells me.

"Jose that is weak even for you. I know you don't like him but come on, black eyes you can do better than that." I chuckle.

"Ana I'm not lying. I swear on my mother's life." Him saying that makes me stop.

He loves his mother. I know Jose, he is a mommy's boy through and through. He would never say that unless he truly believed it. Come on Ana my inner angel tells me, he was clearly drunk he most likely imagined the whole thing. He has my focus and he knows it, he leans in close.

"Please, Ana. I don't want you to get hurt." I can see the worry in his eyes.

He's scared for me but why, Christian is a little controlling. Well very controlling, at least when it comes to sex, my inner devil grins after the belted up shower sex. Jose has gone quiet and my eyes flick up to see his hand has slipped to my palm. His eyes are staring directly at my wrists. The same wrists that show marks from the belt. I look at Jose and I can see he is trying to control his rage.

"What did he do to you?" I hear his words spoken as he still gets some venom in them.

Kate comes back at the exact moment with the sugar. My wrist is held up in his hand and I hear the gasp from over my shoulder. She too has noticed the marks. I snatch my hand back hard as Jose's hand flatters. Just as Kate gets to the table.

"Nothing," I shout back.

"Here's your sugar." I take it from Kate and she looks at my wrist and then stares at me.

I dread the number of questions I will get when I get back to the apartment from her. I wonder if Jose is going to keep on me about Christian now that Kate is here. He seems to know better and backs down. Kate would have put him in his place. She doesn't take crap from anyone.

The rest of our time at the cafe was quite enjoyable. Jose told us of the latest car he is fixing up at the garage. It's an old Ford mustang which he is very fond of. I swore at first Kate thought he was talking about a girl the way he spoke about that car. He didn't bring up the black eyes again until we were about to leave. He gave Kate a quick hug and then me. When he hugged me I couldn't help but tense up slightly. The last time he was that close to me was that drunken night. He whispers into my ear to make sure Kate doesn't hear how crazy he is.

"Please don't see him again. I don't want him to hurt you." As we break the hug I stare at him.

"Jose don't ruin this time together." That seems to work as he keeps his mouth shut and says his goodbyes.

Kate allows us to get all the way back to the apartment before she starts in on the interrogation of me and what I have been up to with a certain famous magician. I make us both a cup of tea while Kate sits behind me on one of our kitchen chairs. I turn holding my cup.

"So come on I have known you have been dying to ask me?" I say to her.

"How was he?" She asks.

"Whoever do you mean?" I reply innocently.

"Don't give me any of that Ana. You spent the night I want details. How was he?" She demands.

I blush as I answer. "Very good."

Kate's eyes light up with joy. "Really?"

I can't help myself. "Oh, Kate he was amazing. I know it was my first time but god that man."

Kate throws her question. "So did he make you come?"

I'm too in the moment to be embarrassed by the question. "Oh god yes. Three times."

I see the shock all over her face. "Fucking hell Ana. Three times. You lucky cow."

I blush and mutter " And twice today." Kate is speechless.

This is new Kate, unable to talk, I feel like I should grab my phone and video the moment. She recovers quickly.

"Ana, Hold onto that man and never let him go." She tells me.

"I intend to."

She stares into my face looking at my eyes. The eyes are the give away to what I'm thinking deep down.

"You're really taken by Christian aren't you?" Kate teases.

"I am. He's is so special." I can't help but smile a big goofy grin thinking of him.

"I'll bet he is special." Kate laughs.

I want to tell Kate so badly about what I have seen him do. He truly is a magician complete with his own magic powers, but I know I can't. Christian trusted me to keep this a secret and I have too.

"My first time was awful." I look towards Kate and I can see she is reliving it. "It was high school prom and I was on the cheerleading squad. Every guy seemed to want me." No change there I think to myself, but let her continue.

"I was dating the star quarterback at the time. Dean Paulson, he believed he was god's gift to women. After prom, he took me on the back seat of his car. Let's just say that god's gift to women shouldn't be the small pecker and quick fumble that I got. He was happy, though." I move to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry," I say unable to think of anything better to come up with. Her hand touches my hand.

"Needless to say I was put off sex until college." She replies.

"You sure made up for it then." I joke.

"Hey, I did not. Look, ten guys is not that bad," she is smiling at me.

"The word slut comes to mind." I really tease her now, I just can't resist.

"Listen to you, Nun." She fires back and we both burst into laughter.

As the laughter begins to calm down Kate considers something for a moment.

"Maybe it's time to look for number eleven." She says is so casually, I spit the mouthful of tea I was about to swallow out.

(So Ana thinks Jose is crazy with jealously trying to get her away from Christian. Meanwhile Kate is wanting all the juicy details of their encounter. What would Christian think of what Jose has told Ana? Poor Kate has not had much luck with men in the past. Jose really seems annoyed at the marks on Ana's wrists from the fun time with the belt.
