SEVEN

"Pablo?" Miran's voice echoed. They all looked back at him, he looked confused staring at them.

"Querido señor" These words escaped from Ava's lips. (Dear lord).

"I will get it," Kim rushed out, passing him by.

"Kim, we are about to leave!" Mrs Lara yelled.

**********

"Hey!" Kim stepped out, shutting the door behind her. "Hey, how are you doing?" She asked, panicking with no idea why.

"Oh hi," he stepped backwards, smiling at her. "I'm fine, you?" He says, staring at her, she looked troubled.

"Pablo, this isn't a really convenient time for me right now" She explained, holding her chest, she could feel her heartbeat so hard.

"Oh, I just wanted to... " He looked at her, she stared back at him, with so much interest in what he was about to say next.

"Wanted to?" Kim asked impatiently.

"I am sorry," He says, licking his lips. He wondered why she looked troubled.

"What... about... what?" Kim stammered.

"I know I messed up that day, and I understand why you've been distant... I should have taken you home that night" He breathed, Kim, managed a smile.

"It's fine... I am not angry" she smiles, waving and hoping he could leave.

"You ain't?" His face brightened.

"Yeah, I am not... is that all?" Kim asked, Pablo's face fell, she wouldn't have asked that if he knew he would react.

"Here," He handed her a single red rose, "Happy Easter," Pablo says, smiling deviously

"Aww, thank you Pablo" She smiled, taking the rose from him.

"I would like you to give..." His attention diverted, Kim sighed.

"We have to be early! the children are probably starving" Ava's Abuela opened the door, Kim instantly cleared the road, letting her pass, and others followed after her.

"Oh, it seemed like I was interrupting something," Pablo looked at Kim.

"Yeah, my family and Ava's are going to the orphanage..." Kim gets interrupted.

"Really? that's nice" Pablo smiled at them, as they stepped out, they didn't even glance at her or Pablo.

"Yeah, it is..." She cleared her throat, Ava stepped out, carrying a cooler, she gave a quick smile, letting her know Miran was coming out after her.

"Oh, Pablo" Ava waved, looking at him.

"Hi, how..." Pablo paused, his eyes met with Miran, who carried a cooler alongside Ava.

He had recognised him immediately, from the club, his face was getting clearer to him. Pablo looked at Kim, she smiled sheepishly moving backwards.

"I have to go," She says, "Thank you for the rose"

"Kim, wait" He pulled her arm, darting at her and Miran.

"Pablo," She sighed.

"Is that him? your ex?" Kim nodded, looking back now, which would only worsen things. Are you back together?" He asked,

"No, we weren't," She replied, shaking her head.

"Thank goodness," Kim heard him say, Pablo had his gaze lowered to the ground.

"What?" She asked.

"Huh?" He raised his gaze, staring at her. "Why is he here?" Pablo asked,

"I don't know..." She pulled away, "I have to go, now," She says.

"Sure..." He clears the road for her

"Alright," Kim looked around and everyone had gotten into their car.

"Kim ride with Miran!" Lara yelled getting into Ava's car, Kim for a minute, began to suspect her mother, she was pushing her to Miran as if she knew they had broken up.

"Why?" she murmured.

Don't you want to?" Kim looked back at Pablo, and back at Miran. She managed a smile heading to his car.

"You know, you don't have..." Miran says

"Can we just go?" She interrupts, opening the car and entering, Miran smiles at Lara, and he narrows his gaze at Pablo before getting in.

Miran started the engine and drove off, following the others, Ava, and Ava's father behind, Kim remembered the old days, Miran picking her up from work, and the nice dates they had until she got interrupted by his voice.

"That's Pablo..." Miran asked, Kim looked in his direction, and she smiled quickly. He looked at her hands, she held the rose he gave her, and this made him clench his jaws.

"Did I..." She paused, remembering the time she told him about a best friend. "Yeah he's the one"

"Nice, good-looking guy,... He has a good taste in flowers" He says, focused on the road. Kim looked away, she was going to ignore him throughout the whole ride, that she made sure. "Must be nice?" Miran says, Kim brushed

"Can you stop it, stop showing that you're jealous?" She looked at him.

"Yo no soy, Kimimela" Kim choked, she looked away, trying her best to avoid him. The ride was quiet and awkwardness filled the car, making her feel tense. (I am not, Kimimela).

"How have you been?" Kim asked, she assumed starting a different conversation would lighten the mood, Miran chuckled. "What?" she looked at him.

"You're cute..." He smiles, Kim rolls her eyes looking away.

"Kimimela." He cleared his throat.

"What?" she asked.

"Don't do that" he says, darting at her and back at the road.

"Do what?" She asked, confused.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, Kimimela" He says, focused on the road. She knew how much Miran hated her doing that

"Why? is not..." She says but gets interrupted.

"I don't care if we are not dating" He glared at her, Kim's heart skipped, she felt her soul submit to him, hearing him speak.

"Miran..." Miran pulled over to the side of the road, Kim looked at him.

"Look at me, Kimimela" His voice, filled with command, and Kim unable to resist, looked at him. "How about you roll your eyes again?" He says.

She was dying too, thoughts ran through her head, the urge to disobey him, tempted her. Miran came closer to her, his breath sent lust down her veins and she felt her legs tighten.

"You're mine, and we both know that" He whispered, trailing his hands down her neck seductively. Kim bit her lips, she was dying to be touched, her legs tightened each time.

His hands went down to her tits, Kim looked at him, "Should I keep going?" He asked.

"YES!" Her head kept begging. Miran's hand brushed her tits slowly, and unable to control her urge, she let out a soft moan, earning a smirk from him. Every nerve of her body needed his touch. "Keep going," she says, pulling him closer.

Her lips pressed against his, Miran's hands grabbed her chin covering her lips with his, Kim pulled his lips hungrily, taking every bit of him, she loved the way he tasted, she grabbed his shirt and trailed her hands to the back of his neck, wanting more, her tongue searched for his desperately, breathing each other and gasping for air, her hands went down his trousers.

"Kimimela," Miran smirked, pulling away, Kim's hungry eyes met his.

"Thank you..." She says, Kim lowered her head.

"For what?"

"Um...I... I didn't get to thank you for..."

"Hey, it's okay?" He pulls her head resting his forehead on hers.

"No, I should say thank you for helping me back then in California..."

"Kim..." He slowly holds her by the chin.

"No Miran, thank you, also for buying me drinks here," she chuckled, "and..." She continued. "And... And for bringing me home..." Miran watched her silently. "And for not telling my mom about our break-up"

"You don't need to thank me for that," he says, with a warm smile.

"I do... Miran I..." She paused, and Miran started the engine immediately.

"I will drop you at the orphanage, I have to fly to Dubai this evening," he says, Kimimela watched him, he didn't look so happy, she could tell. Kimimela reclined till he arrived at the orphanage. "Get down," his cold voice ordered. Kim inhaled she looked at him and he didn't glance back.

"Goodbye Miran," she says angrily pushing the door open.

Kimimela watched him drive off, she couldn't see him anymore, her phone suddenly vibrated and it was Pablo.

Pablo: "Kim, ¿podrías prescindir de mí alguna vez?" Kim sighed. {Kim, could you spare me some time?).

"Hey!" Ava tapped, Kim turned over to her, her eyes were teary and she said.

"I can't lose him, Ava" Her voice broke down. Ava tightened her lips and sighed heavily, she knew he was already on his way back to Dubai.

"And? Do you need me to call the taxi for you?" Ava asked.

"You're insane," Kim laughed.

"You deserve him!" Ava chuckled,

"I love you, Ava!" She sniffled.

"Here, take this you might need it," She says, taking out her passport from her bag, a glint of shock flashed through Kim's face.

"You took my passport!" She wiped her eyes, Ava smiled, she steadied her gaze at Kim with a smirk.

"I took this cause I know what kind of man you love, at the beach, I knew he got us that drink, he was right there dressed in his Arab uniform... All this while I knew he was the one, I'm sorry but I called him to the club, Pablo isn't for you, it's supposed to be Miran, and I know how much you love him, so go get your man!"

"Ava?" Tears trickled down her eyes and her voice broke.

"I owe him that... After helping with Jackson's case, it's the least I could do" she says. "Oh, there's a taxi!"

"Isn't that Pablo?" Kim asked, they both watched him step out of the taxi, "Taxi" Kim yelled, and Ava looked at her. "Taxi!!!" She called rushing over to it

"Kim?" Pablo calls, walking towards her.

"Take me to the airport!" She beckoned to the taxi driver.

"Hold on, Kimimela!" Ava watched the drama going on, she giggled silently while she waved at Kim.

She had no idea where Miran was or where she was going, the airport was a start, Kim checked the time and it was only four in the evening. This evening she would probably wait at the airport, she didn't even know the name of his hotel...

"Ah..." She remembered she had a phone to google. She took out her phone and searched through the internet, disappointment hit her when she realized it was miles away from Cuernavaca.

She quickly dialled Tony, at least he could help her save time.
