#21:

" What do you want?
"I'm so sorry, believe me. I didn't want to do this to you but you give me no choice. I warned you to stay away from him and I threatened him, but everything I did was in vain, you didn't want to listen."
"Okay, I get the concept. You and Matt made a bet and…"
"Will you let me talk?"
I closed my mouth and he began to approach me.
"I can't stand it. It makes me sick to see you together. You have no idea how hard it is to see my brother, my twin, come home so happy after spending an afternoon with you. It makes me angry, it makes me furious to think that he kisses you, that he touches you... I don't want him to be near you."
I took several steps back, scared. Mark looked crazy and sounded like a rabid dog would. He was gibbering like a lunatic! And growling?
"I'm not like my brother, I don't mince words and I don't take months to get a kiss from the girl I like." He mumbled, throwing himself against me, furiously.
He caught me in his arms, pressing me against the wall, and giving me an aggressive, possessive, dominant and not at all slow kiss.
She sobbed into my mouth as if it hurt to kiss me, and as soon as she pulled away I slapped her, hard and resounding, turning her face away.
He looked at me again, with the mark of my hand on his cheek, his gaze was dark and defiant, but before I released any recrimination, he again squeezed me against the wall.
"I like you, hummingbird. I want you so much that it turns me on when you hit me."
What tha fucking fuck?!
I looked into his eyes and it was true, his pupils were dilated.
"And what's more, I'm not satisfied with one kiss knowing that you've given my brother two."
I tried to kick him and get out of his grasp, but he kissed me again, and I pushed him, hitting his chest but he didn't budge an inch.
He broke the kiss and I ran away.
"You're sick!" I barked, moving quickly to the door.
"Stay away from my brother or I'll show you how sick I really am."
Threats.
From Mark Montalvo?
They were definitely nothing new.
But the fact that he had forcibly kissed me(the horror! )Certainly was
***
During the visit pass I was deaf, blind... and practically mute.
I did all my evolutions and as soon as I could I ran out of there, packed my things and ran in search of transportation.
I put my cell phone in airplane mode and took off, back to my town.
I missed home and was in desperate need of a hug from my mom.
Thank God, my mother hugged me and I burst into tears in her arms.
I had just finished the surgery rotation, the following Monday we would have the written exam and by Tuesday we would start rotating for internal medicine, the last rotation of the internship, after which the state exam would take place.
My mother thought that I was crying with relief, since my graduation was very close, while I knew exactly why I was crying.
Damn Montalvo!
Why wasn't the killer obsessed with them?
My cell phone was in airplane mode all weekend.
I studied the most important topics for the exam through my notes and tried to make a decision about what I would do when I returned next week.
I was only very clear about one thing, neither Matt nor Mark would continue to make fun of me.
***
“I want to congratulate you all on the wonderful job you have done during the rotation. Their notes are on the board in the room, I am convinced that they will shine as much in internal medicine as they have here.
The surgeon, head of rotation, offered a few words, my classmates applauded and as soon as the teacher left they all rushed like a herd of cows towards the board.
I on the other hand was sitting upright in my chair, to the left was Mark with a murderous face, enduring a rant from Mildred without really listening to her and to the right was Matt, smiling very strangely at Lizet.
"Have you seen your grades yet?" Yunior approached me, smiling at me with an expression of happiness that was disturbing to me.
"Not, I'm waiting for the stampede to end." I answered, with a monotonous voice.
Yunior frowned and sat next to me, taking my hand in his.
"Is something wrong, Rosy? I don't know, you look weird."
I tried to smile but the muscles in my face seemed frozen.
“ I took a new medication today . I was very depressed over the weekend and my mother insisted on taking me to the psychiatrist."
“Oh. Well, you got a four on the final exam. It is wonderful! Come on, I invite you to some pizzas to celebrate!
Yunior took my arm, withdrawing from me without giving me time to respond.
We went for the pizzas and while we were eating, Matt passed us by on his motorcycle, taking Lizet in the direction of the uni.
***
They knocked on my door and I was surprised, because it was eight at night and after what happened, no one comes to see me at that time.
I took a stick that I kept behind the door in case the murderer appeared in my room, I held it behind my back in one hand and with the other I opened it.
On the other side was Lizet, who gave me a nervous smile.
"Hi, am I bothering you?
"No, what is it?
Lizet stepped forward and I closed the door, putting the stick in its place without making the slightest sound.
"Well, what's wrong?" I asked, moving to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Did something happen between you?"
"Huh?"
"Did something happen between you and Matt?" They fought?
"No."
Lizet started wringing her hands and I was immediately worried.
"It's just that…for months I'd seen that you were very close, you studiee together and everyone commented you were dating, but today Matt was…weird, with me. I mean, he's been asking me questions and kind of flirting with me."
*Marvelous. Just what I was missing.*
"Do you like him?"
Lizet snorted.
"No, and even if I did, I wouldn't try to date him. It's so obvious he has a crush on you, he doesn't take his eyes off you and today even when he was talking to me I noticed that he got mad because you left with Yunior."
"Lici, have you heard anything about a bet between the twins?"
She frowned.
"No.
" O.k"
"But , will you tell me? What happened between you and Matt?"
"He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said no." I lied, if I had been wise, that really would have been my answer at that time.
***
A pair of lips kissed me.
A pair of soft hands touched me.
I opened my eyes and smiled, kissing him back and spreading my legs to give ore access to the muscular body above me.
"I like you a lot Rosario, you have no idea how much I like you." He whispered, touching me in forbidden places as if he had a VIP pass to my whole body.
"Matt?"
He laughed, refusing to stop kissing me.
However, his kiss turned aggressive, his hands began to squeeze me, his teeth began to bruise my lips, turning the soft kiss into stormy bites.
"I can't stand seeing you with my brother, knowing that you spend time with him makes me sick."
I broke the kiss, blinking, trying to see his face clearly. Everything was too dark.
"Mark?"
He laughed again.
"Could it be that you want us both? How is it possible that you don't know which of the two of us is kissing you?"
I woke up with a start , my heart pounding and my breathing ragged.
Damn!
I had enough dealing with the Montalvos while being awake, it was the last straw that they were also taking over my dreams, turning them into nightmares!
