The sunset came and went and Alejandro still hadn’t returned. The unease grew inside of me as each minute passed. I wanted him here, with me where I new he was safe. I wanted him to hold me close again and kiss me like it might the last time. Fuck. It just might be the last time. There was a price on his head, put there by other dealers and the police.

I had stayed in Alejandro’s room, watching TV and drinking wine, for the rest of the day. The sheets smelled like sex and Alejandro’s cologne. It was intoxicating as hell.

When the clock struck nine PM, I got up to go downstairs. I was hungry and wanted to find something to eat. I opened the bedroom door and jumped back, heart skipping a beat, not expecting to see a guard outside the door. He was tall with dark skin. His head was shaved and he was covered with tattoos. His jaw was set and his dark eyes shifted all around. He had a row of scars along his muscular arms. If he wasn’t ordered to protect me, I’d be scared shitless of him.

I didn’t know his name, and he didn’t appear to speak any English. I smiled and pushed my shoulders back. He stepped aside, letting me through. I could feel his eyes on me as I hurried down the hall. The floor vibrated under his weight as he followed me. I picked up the pace, mind flashing back to my one-on-one training at the police academy.

The guard stayed in the kitchen as I rummaged through the fridge, pulling out left over ground beef. I put together a taco and stuck it in the microwave, feeling the guard’s eyes score into me. His close proximity made me fear something horrible had happened and I was in real danger.

The guard never made direct eye contact with me, but he stayed within several feet of me at all times, which made going to the bathroom fun. I turned the water on before I sat on the toilet to pee.

When he followed me up the stairs, I had the urge to run. I didn’t like him being so close behind me. Something about him unnerved me, and it was more than just the stereotypical criminal way he looked.

“Night, uh noche. Buenos noche,” I said and went to Alejandro’s room. I stepped inside and closed the door. I locked it on impulse. I stood back, staring at the door. I wanted Alejandro to come home now more than ever. Call it intuition, but that guard just unsettled me for no logical reason.

It hit me then that I must really feel for Alejandro. If he could make me feel safe, then I trusted him and more than just liked him. I picked up the bottle of wine that I had left on the dresser and pulled out the cork. It was already half empty. I didn’t bother with a glass. I put it to my lips and took a long drink to calm my nerves.
