She had no shame at this point; she buried her head into his chest and cried hard. “Kalani where are you going?” She heard Marcos calling. As he caught up to her crying in Alex’s chest, jealousy attacked him and attacked him hard. He pulled her arm a little to hard. She cried out in pain, but he just hugged her tightly to his chest.
“Who is this?!” He said loudly. Kalani tried pushing him off but he held her even more tightly. “I asked you a question, did you already make a new little novio after talking about being replaced so easily.” He asked. “You better let her go.” Alex sternly replied to Marcos. He felt a new level of anger at this man that was man handling Kalani. “Or what?” Marcos said pushing Kalani behind him and threw a punch at Alex. Alex threw Marcos to the ground, “Do you really want to assault a police officer?”
“What the h*** is happening here?” yelled Milani. “He was touching Kalani.” Answered Marcos. “He is the cop that found her that night you lunatic!” Milani stated. Alex let Marcos get up and went over to Kalani to check on her. “Are you okay? Do you need anything?” worry was clear all over his face as he checked her to make sure she wasn’t hurt.
This made Marcos even more jealous. Who was this officer to Kalani? Why did he care so much and what gives him the right to touch what was his? He knew he was with Milani now, but everyone was to know Kalani would always be his, no matter the cost. He bumped past Alex and stood next to Kalani, which in turn made Milani jealous so she grabbed his hand pulled him with her. “Come on babe lets go to this store I need new underwear; I can model them for you.” Marcos didn’t want to go, he had to make sure this man didn’t make a move on his rightful girl. He wouldn’t budge and this was unforgiveable to Milani. “Marcos Alberto Sanchez lets go!” she said firmly. “Go Marcos you wouldn’t want to keep your girlfriend waiting.” Said Kalani in a whisper full of heart break.
“Come on I’ll buy you a pretzel.” Alex said to Kalani. It bothered him how sad she was over this guy. He knew she’s been through so much already just to finally come home to be sad. She nodded her head and he held his arm out for her to grab. Out the corner of her eyes she seen Marcos pulling against Ashton and Milani trying to follow them.
Alex told Kalani to sit as he got the food. He came back with a pretzel, nachos ice cream and a water. “Do you think I’m starved.” Kalani joked. “NO! I just wasn’t sure what you had a taste for.” Alex said laughing. “You’re very nice thank you.” She smiled at him, and he smiled back. They spent the next hour getting to know each other, like Alex’s parents came from Spain poor and built an impressive hotel chain. And that Kalani was allergic to strawberries. They laughed a lot and for a moment Kalani forgot about her heart break over Marcos and Milani. However, it wasn’t much longer until Milani, Marcos and their father came up to the table. Alex got up to shake Mauricio’s hand, “How are you Mr. Martinez?” “Please call me Mauricio I mean after all you bought my first princess back to me.” “Would you like to join us?” Alex asked hopeful they weren’t here to take Kalani home already. “Actually, I came for Kalani. I got you a surprise princesa.” He turned to Kalani. “What is it papa?” She asked sad all over again seeing Marcos and Milani together. “Close your eyes and hold out your hands.” Mauricio said and Kalani did as she was told.
She felt a box in her hands, and her father told her to open her eyes and in her eyes was a brand new iphone. “We already programmed mine, your moms, and Milani’s numbers. Marcos also did his as did Ashton.” Mauricio told her. “Muchas gracias papa! Hopefully I can figure it out!” She excitedly said. “Alex can I have your number in it, talking to you makes me feel so safe.” She asked. Alex’s face was red and he was trying to hold back his happiness, “Of course. You can text or call me anytime you need a friend.” He almost whispered the friend part. Marcos on the other hand was not happy the slightest. He stormed off and punched a wall on his way out. Milani’s heart broke and she thought to herself, “Was I just a filler for Kalani?”
