It makes me feel weak, but I can’t bring myself to argue with him. I take the keys and slide them into the pocket of my jeans, leaving the access card on the bar.
“Take it, baby. Just in case you ever need it.”
“I won’t need it.”
“Take. It.”
I want to pick it up and hurl it at his head. Even with everything between us, he
still
can’t curb his need to be controlling. However, instead of prolonging this fight, I pick it up and put it in the pocket alongside the keys. I know I’ll never use it; but if it will end this, I’ll do it.
Just then, Aldo and a fuming Carmen come from the hallway. With a lift of his chin, he’s out the door without another word. When Gabriel turns to leave, everything in me wants to reach out to stop him. Fear overwhelms me at the thought of never seeing him again, even though I know it’s for the best.
Just before he walks through the door, he turns back to me with his infamous, cocky smirk. “Don’t forget what I said, baby. I’m not letting you go.” And with that, he’s gone.

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all. Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy—she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says. In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books—romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion… there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand. Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
