“Lost in The Middle of Nowhere" by Kane Brown & Becky G

If it were possible to wear a hole into linoleum by pacing, I’d have done it by now. It’s been four hours since they took Lola into surgery. Nobody is telling me anything because I’m not family. I’m not her husband, and fiancé isn’t good enough. I might have lied about that part but, I’m getting sick of this shit.

“Hey, man.” Foster claps my back as he and Ryder enter the waiting area, where I’m sure I’m scaring everyone with my intensity.

“You heard anything?” Ryder asks.

I growl, and they both back away.

I realize they were stuck at the scene filling out reports and helping clean up, but I don’t want questions. I want fucking answers.

“Have you heard from Nix?” I ask them instead.

“They won’t be here until sometime in the early morning.” Even with a private jet, it takes a long fucking time to fly back from Rio.

This wait is fucking killing me. It shouldn’t take this damn long. What if Lola died on the table, and the physicians are delaying the inevitable?

My body stiffens at the mere thought.

“Oh shit,” I hear Foster say as I storm out of the waiting area and head towards the front desk.

“Theo, don’t do this!” Ryder calls out as they chase after me.

“Theophilus Adrian Burkhart, you do not go scaring those girls!” My body instinctively freezes at the familiar voice.

“Son of a bitch,” I mutter before spinning around. “Mamá, what are you doing here?”

“Don’t you swear at me, young man.” The nurses I’ve been harassing snicker at my mother’s scolding. “Boys, how are you?” Her tone changes entirely as she talks to my teammates.

“Good, Mrs. Burkhart.” Ryder leans in to kiss her cheek.

“Can’t complain.” Foster grins.

“Excellent. Now, Theo, why did you look like you were about to bite these fine nurses heads off?” Both hands settle on her hips.

Grinding my jaw together so I don’t bite her head off, I grit out, “They aren’t telling me anything about Lola.”

“And who is Lola?” She cocks her head, already suspecting the answer.

My eyes narrow. “Mine.”

A huge smile lifts her face and showcases why she was a model for so many years before becoming a mother and wife.

“Let Mamá work, dear boy of mine.”

My father comes rushing in. “Ah! Son, there you are. She runs from me too much.” The man scowls at my mother.

“Bampás, why would you bring her?” He grabs my arm and guides me away from the nurses' station, where my mother is working her magic. Which means she's turned up her charm or she’s threatening them with voodoo.

“Your commander, Nix? He called, said something happened to his sister, and you both might need us. He arranged a flight. We came immediately.”

I gaze over at Ryder, and he shakes his head.

“So, this Lola, his sister, she means something to you? She’s why you haven’t given Mamá babies yet, yes?” I love my family, I really do, but times like this, I don’t like how in my face they are about everything.
