Chapter 45: Doubting Faith (1,5K)

I look at Ana who's laying on her stomach, gently breathing with her eyes closed and a satiated smile on her face. And I love that I put it there. Especially since I have the same smile on my face. I have to admit it was a bit different because we had to not make any noise. Ana told me that Kate was home, and I'm her boss. There is a certain decorum I need to maintain.

But it was definitely exciting to watch her bite her tongue, to see her move beneath me, struggling to keep control of herself and in the end, I flipped her and took her from behind. She used to opportunity to scream into her pillows as I helped her reach cloud nine. I didn't last much longer after her.

And now, we're both trying to catch our breaths, the condom discarded somewhere on her floor, smiles of glee on our faces and looking at one another with pure love.

I reach to remove a lock of her hair from her face and let her know, "You're so beautiful, babe. You're like an Angel who is gracing us with her beauty."

She grimaces, wiggling a little so she's no longer on her stomach but on her side like me and so I tell her,

"I like to speak the truth to those I care about, Ana. You better get used to me telling you how beautiful you are. How can you even doubt that."

"I don't like to think about it, that's all." I open my mouth to argue, but she puts her hand on my face and caresses my cheek, asking, "Please, dint ruin our moment. It's the first time we're making love in my room, I don't want to taint the memory."

Well, this gives me no other choice than to comply. I mean, asked like that, you just want to make the girl happy. So I just kiss her with love, though the image of Miguel comes back to me as I do so. Doesn't she have many pleasant memories with him too? Did she have pleasant memories in her childhood room with him?

She looks at me, frowning when she sees my expression and I quickly replace it with a smile. But of course, it's Ana we're talking about. She knows how to read people better than a mentalist, and I am no exemption from that.

"What is it, Christian?"

"Nothing."

She sighs, her hand still on my cheek, "I thought we weren't that kind of couple. I thought we were honest to each other."

I swallow with difficulty because she has just me in a difficult situation. I can't lie to her, but I know that it's going to ruin this perfect mood she wanted to preserve. "How many happy memories did you share with Miguel?"

This makes her retrieve her hand from my face, and though she didn't move to escape my arms, I'm still taking this gesture as a way for her to distance herself from me. Especially when she looks down as she darkly tells me,

"You're going to learn to trust me, Christian."

I lift her chin up, and force her to look at me as I say from the bottom of my heart, "I do trust you, babe. More than you'll ever know."

"And yet you take issues with me having friends from the opposite gender. As if I would cheat on you at the first opportunity. You have to understand, Christian. I grew up with mostly dudes around me, I'm bound to have more guy friends than girlfriends."

Yeah, that's the rational thing. But there is a difference between the way kate is with her and the way those Rodriguez guys are with her. And she can't see that because she is blinded by her good heart.

"I don't want to talk about it, Ana. I don't want to talk about the guy who wanted to spend the rest of his life with you. And first of all, how did that not creep your Dad out? He was all over me for just being your friend, but that grown man proposing to his teenage daughter didn't seem weird to him?!

Thank God you have wits behind you and you're sharp. You were just eighteen for fuck's sake. And he had known you for years. What if he had managed to —"

She suddenly bursts into laughter, stopping me in my rightful tirade and making me scowl at her. This is no laughing matter. Whether it is our actual situation, or what happened when she was still a kid.

"Really, Christian? You think Miguel tried to groom me?"

"If you still can't see it, it's that he still managed to do it somehow."

She moves to peck my lips before she explains, "Miguel 'proposed' as a joke. Because we got long so well and because his family and mine are just like one, he said I would make a perfect beard for him."

"Uh?" I'm lost for a moment. What does facial hair have to do with Ana?

"He's gay. He's actually so gay that Elton john can pass for straight next to him."

"He doesn't look gay," I point out, though I am relieved. At least, that's one man I won't have to worry about. She rolls her eyes as if I just said something stupid and retort,

"And neither does Luke Evans. But at the end of the day, they both like sausage. But Miguel never intended to marry me. It was just a joke in the family because the army was giving him a hard time when they learned his sexual orientation."

"It's the 21st century," I say, rolling my eyes this time and she shrugs, pretty sure of herself,

"And yet so many people are stuck to medieval times."

I look at her, and do what I know I have to do right now, "I'm sorry, babe. I shouldn't have … gone down that road."

Once again she sighs before she says, "you have to understand Christian, even if Miguel wasn't gay, it wouldn't matter. I'm with you Christian. Doesn't that matter for something?"

"Of course it does."

"Then why don't you show it? I'm not an acquisition, Christian. I'm your girlfriend. And that's because I love you. With all my heart. But this jealousy … it makes me feel that it's not reciprocated."

"Don't say that!" How can she even think that I don't love her? I've bared my soul to her! I am raw with her. She's my whole life!

"How would you feel if I nagged you about every other woman in your life? About your COO? About your PA? About any employee that wears a skirt? I trust you. I trust that if you find better elsewhere, you'll respect me enough to let me know first. All I ask in return is for you to have the same faith in me."

"I can't do better than you Ana. You're my everything. I've already told you. How can you doubt that?!"

"And yet, you came to the show not because you wanted to be my plus one but because you didn't want me to be alone with Jose without you."

Why has that fucker come back in the conversation? Wand how did we pass from having such a nice evening to this conversation where she doubts my love? Still, I answer her unasked question,

"I don't trust him. He wants you. He's always looking at you."

"He doesn't want me. He looks at me because he cares for me. Just like you care for Mia."

"I … Mia is my sister. Jose is not your brother. He might hide behind this label but the day you'll let your guard down —"

"Don't finish that sentence Christian," she warns me and her tone is deadly enough for me to shut up.

But then she turns in the bed and it feels like a cold bucket of water has been just thrown at me. Ana has never turned her back on me like that. Not in that cold demeanour. Usually, when she does it's because she wants to spoon.

"Babe?" I call her out and she looks at me, her eyes dark and cold,

"I'm letting this one pass, Christian, because you and I don't have much experience in relationships. But don't ever doubt my family again. It doesn't need blood. Jose is my brother whether the law says it or not. Whether you like it or not. And you better get used to the fact that he's in my life for the long run. If you want to be in that life too. Get used to it."
