Chapter 121


    Javier saw me and gave me a big hug. He touched my head, giving me warmth. After all that I have


    been through, I still didn’t learn how to reject the warmth people give me.


    No matter if the boy in front of me wasn’t a man to me, just a big boy, I still wanted more of his warmth.


    “Let’s go, let’s go settle down in a hotel first, we’ll talkter.” Javier said while pulling my hands. We left


    the


    airport.


    Since I had already booked a hotel room for him, we went straight to the hotel. Javier put his luggage


    and came to my room. I needed someone to speak


    to.


    After some consideration, I still   decided not to tell him, he is 3 years younger to me, just like a little


    brother to me. He came to see me all the long way from Germany, I should be grateful. I couldn’t be so


    greedy. I used to want more of Leo, but……


    I learnt my lesson, even if I like this big guy here, I should not get attached.


    Some things are not meant to be spoken out.


    In simple words, I exined what happened to him, about mom. But I didn’t tell him about Lance, he


    didn’t ask me also.


    We ate a simple lunch. Then, Javier said we should get the cremation done soon.


    T originally nned to go back to Germany once I’m done here, but now with the baby’s issue, I


    needed to stay for a DNA test. If she is really my child,   my peaceful life would be gone, but


    she’s my responsibility, I shouldn’t here her alone if she really is my baby.


    We arrived at the centre, Javier was by my side. “It’s going to be alright, just breathe.”


    Llooked up at him. “Javier, thank you so much.”


    He patted my head and said, “No need to be so formal with me.”


    There was no passion or whatever romantic feelings between us. We clicked the first time we met, just


    like old friends, I could be myself around him. I could rx and just be me.


    “Once your mother’s funeral is done, do you need to stay further? My friend told me the people here


    would stay around one month, it’s a tradition or something?” Javier asked.


    I didn’t even n to follow the   tradition, but since I have another thing to worry about now, I should


    stay.


    “Yeah, you should go back after a few days, don’t affect your studies.”


    Javier put his hands on my shoulder and pulled me into his arms. “The credit hours for this semester is


    short, so I can stay. It’s not safe for a little woman here alone.”


    Little woman? To him I was a little woman? But I am 3 years older than him!


    “I need to stay for a month, it’s a long time, I don’t think it’s a good idea.” I said. I didn’t want Javier to


    stay here for too long. I didn’t want him to know about my rtionship with Lance and my dirty past. I


    appreciate the friendship with him, I didn’t want him to leave me because I was disgusting to


    Javier insisted, “This is my decision to make. I just wat to travel around here for a month, don’t think too


    much.”


    We already known each other for a year now, I knew his temper very well. Once he decided on


    something, it would be hard to change his mind. But sooner orter, he would find out……


    Just when I was lost in my own thoughts, Javier shouted, “CAREFUL!”


    I was pressed in his arms, his head hit the ground and started to bleed. We were on the floor. I was so


    shocked I didn’t know what to do.


    Javier didn’t faint, he stared at the ck car driving away from us and said through clenching teeth,


    “Call the cops.”


    The speed here is limited, so it was obvious the ck car wasing for


    1.


    Javier was just a student, he grew up in Spain and all, so the ck car was clearlying for me, not


    him. But Javier saved me just in time.


    Who would want to hit me with a car in front of a cremation centre? Lance Mason crossed my mind, did


    he want me dead just because I didn’t believe him that Lexi is my daughter?


    I didn’t think too much and called the ambnce. Javier was sent to the hospital. I was given a chek-up


    also but there was nothing serious on me.


    Javier spoke to me with a pale face. “I won’t die, bro.” he was still holding onto me even at this time, no


    one ever treated me this way.


    I started to cry, Javier saved me life.


    How do I ever repay his kindness?


    Javier was brought away for


    treatment. I went to the hallway and tried to call Lance’s old number. I already deleted his number, but it


    was imprinted in my mind, I couldn’t forget


    He picked up the phone and I immediately started to yell, “Lance Mason you are a fcking jerk! Did you


    hire someone to hit me with a car? HUH, you really wanted me dead?! Karma will get the best of you,


    you fcking jerk!”


    I yelled like a mad woman.


    Lance was silent for a moment and said, “Where are you? Are you hurt? I’ming now.”

    “Ha…..thanks to you, I didn’t die yet. I’m fine. I’m just scared if youe and see me standing here


    alive you would die of disappointment.” I said sarcastically.


    “What the hell are you talking about? I will investigate who did this, for now tell me where you are.”


    Lance spoke with a very serious voice.


    “I don’t care if you want me dead, but if you dare put a finger on the people I care about, I will really kill


    you.” And I hung up after that.
