 "Don't say sorry. I understand. Remember, it's only you and no one else" -Enrique

ENRIQUE's POV

I was utterly shocked of what my mother just told me. My hand tightened around my phone as I tried to calm down. Judging from my other's voice, the situation was serious.

"What happened mom?"

"He had an accident" Upon hearing that, it felt like my body became numb and I felt so worried. I didn't wait for her to explain everything and just told her that I would be home soon as soon as possible. After I talked to my mother, I felt like all the life in me suddenly disappeared. All I wanted to do was to go home and see my father.

"Are you okay Enrique? You look pale" Blake said while staring at me. I entangled her hand together with my hand.

"Blake, sorry but our vacation will be cut short. I need to go home as soon as possible. I'll make it up to you. I promise you that"

"Why? What happened?"

"My dad is in the hospital" It felt like a lump was in my throat as I tried to tell her that. Negative thoughts were floating on my mind even though I didn't want to. My father has been bugging me to go back home for quite some time now but I kept on declining because I couldn't leave Blake. Aside from that, I have a lot of work at the company.

He was insisting for me to manage our family business because he was planning to retire which I initially found ridiculous. Why not? He was still young at 57.

I felt Blake's embrace and I felt my eyes watered. I blinked it back. I didn't want to cry at this moment. I needed to be okay and strong for my parents especially for my father who's now at the hospital, fighting for his life.

"Go Enrique. I can manage to go back home alone. I know your parents need you there" I pulled away from our embrace and stared at her beautiful face.

"No Angel eyes. We're going together. I won't let you go home alone. Maybe this is the right time too for me to introduce you as my girlfriend to my parents" I saw her gulped nervously and bit her bottom lip.

"A-Are you sure Enrique?" I touched her cheek with the back of my hand and kissed her forehead.

"Of course. You know that's how much I love your right?" She nodded as her head as a smile broke across her face.

BLAKE's POV

My body was slightly trembling because of nervousness. We were on our way to the hospital where Enrique's father was confined to. It's been more than 5 years since I last saw them and I didn't know if they would still recognize or remember me.

Aside from that, Enrique was quiet the whole time and he looked really worried. I cursed myself because instead of comforting him, I was busy dealing with my own negative thoughts. Why not? I didn't' know if his parents would accept me as their son's girlfriend. I hurt him in the past and I didn't know how they would react if they saw me.

I rested my head on Enrique's shoulder and tangled my arm around his. I felt him kissed my head. He really is sweet. I smiled. All the nervousness I was feeling faded because of his sweetness. Even though he was so quiet the whole time and looked problematic, he didn't forget about me. He was kissing me from time to time, the back of my hand, my cheek, my lips and my temple.

When the car stopped in front of the hospital, as usual Enrique opened the door for me. Even though he looked distracted, he didn't forget to be a gentleman. I thanked him and he just smiled faintly. I knew he was so worried so I hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Don't worry. He's going to be alright" I said, trying to make him feel better. He nodded his head and then we went inside the hospital. While we were walking towards the hospital room of his father, I felt tensed again. But it was just a little bit now. Unlike a while ago.

Enrique knocked at the door. When the door opened, I wasn't ready of what I was going to see. I gasped in surprise and I looked at Enrique quizzically. He looked surprised too.

"What took you so long Enrique? We've been waiting for you here since this morning" Brianna said while smiling at Enrique flirtatiously. She didn't even bother throwing me a glance and she was acting like I wasn't there, standing right in front of her. I didn't know what to think about her being here.

"Where is mom?" Enrique asked impassively. She opened the door wider and we immediately saw the sleeping patient.

"Aunt Christina just went out to buy something. She'll be back anytime soon" Brianna answered and sat on the nearby couch, her eyes never left Enrique.

Enrique approached his sleeping father and I followed him. I thought his dad was in a serious condition? He looked fine to me. He looked like he was tired and pale but he looked fine. There was just the IV fluid which was sticking out of him. He also had a bruise in his right cheek. Enrique wasn't saying anything. I looked at him but he was expressionless. He then pulled my hand to go with him as he sat on the couch across Brianna.

"What are you doing here Brianna?" He asked her without any hint of emotion on his face. Brianna raised her eye brow as she crossed her legs. She was just wearing a shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Her boobs were almost spilling out of her shirt. She looked at Enrique like she was trying her hardest to seduce him. I felt a tinge or irritation towards her.

We've been here for a couple of minutes now but she didn't even look at me even once. She was acting like it was just Enrique who was right in front of her. I wanted to poke her eyes balls because her behavior irritates me. I thought I wouldn't see her face anymore after our first meeting but no. She's actually right in front of me and I didn't know why she's here.

"Nothing. I just happen to be here on a vacation" She answered with a seductive voice. Enrique heaved a sigh and was about to speak when the door opened. It was Enrique's mom. Even though I saw her for just a couple of times during my vacation here with Kelly 5 years ago, I still remember her.

Enrique stood up and greet his mom with a hug.

"Oh my god! Thank God you finally came home Quen!" She said emotionally as she hugged Enrique back.

"How's dad? I thought he had an accident? Aside from his bruises, he look fine to me" Enrique asked. His mother looked away and heaved a sigh.

"He's fine now Quen. I'm sorry if we made you worry. We just want to see you. It's true that he had an accident but it was just a minor one. His blood pressure went up that's why he needed to stay here in the hospital for now. But the doctor said that he can go home tomorrow" Enrique ran his fingers through his hair with frustration.

"Why didn't you tell me that? You had me worried sick!" His mom looked guilty and involuntarily looked at my direction. She was surprised when she realized that somebody was in there with them.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Dixon" I greeted her politely. She looked at Enrique questioningly and then looked back at me.

"W-What is she doing here Quen?" I bit my bottom lip. Judging by her tone, she recognized me and she didn't want to see me. Enrique's arm automatically went around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"You still remember her right mom? She's Blake Angela Greene. My girlfriend" She gasped in shock as she looked at us alternately. She looked like she couldn't believe what she was seeing at the moment. I was about to say something when she spoke.

"What is the meaning of this Quen? Why her? Didn't she left you and hurt you before? She was even the reason why----"

"That's enough mom. That's all in the past now. Blake and I are together again and we love each other" Mrs. Dixon closed her eyes for good two seconds in disbelief and sat on the chair right next to the patient's bed.

"I can't believe this. What about Brianna?" What about her? I wanted to ask that out loud but I just stopped myself from doing so. I looked at Enrique and waited for his answer.

"The answer is as clear as crystal right in front of you mom" I saw Brianna stood up and crossed her arms across her chest.

"How dare you Enrique? I didn't say anything because I knew that you're just fooling around like before. Why don't you cut this crap already and just dump her like you did with your previous flings? Stop playing with her and tell her the truth!" She looked furious but she was speaking in a controlled tone. Probably because they were in a hospital and Enrique's dad was still sleeping next to them.

"What is she talking about Enrique? Is there something that you're not telling me?" I asked him. He stared at me and I noticed that he suddenly looked haggard and tired. He was obviously panicking and couldn't think of anything to say.

"Blake, I---"

"You! I already warned you before but you just ignored me and let yourself be used by him. He's my fiancé you know! He's just using you to get back at me because he thought I was cheating on him but no! I never did!" She was quickly losing her poise.

"Stop lying Brianna!" Enrique warned with a dangerous tone. I untangled his arm around me. I felt my lips trembled as I tried to speak.

"Is it true Enrique? Is she really your fiancée?" My hand turned into a tight fist to prevent myself from doing anything violent like slapping him. He tried to reach for my hand but I just evaded his hand.

"Answer me!" He heaved a sigh and nodded his head. I wanted to scream and slap him but I couldn't. I felt my tears welled down. I stormed out of the room without saying anything and ran outside. I was about to hail a taxi when I felt Enrique's hand on my wrist.

"Blake, she was my fiancée but I already cancelled it long time ago. It was just a crazy arrange marriage between families but I wasn't in favor of it from the beginning. So I declined right away. Sorry I didn't tell you but I thought it didn't matter anymore. I love you Blake. I already told you before that Brianna is nothing to me and that's the truth" I could see that he was telling the truth and that made me sighed. I suddenly felt guilty for believing Brianna just like that.

Of course, I admit I instantly got jealous hearing that she was Enrique's fiancée and got blinded by jealousy that's why I walked out of the hospital suite like a silly mistress.

"Sorry. I didn't even wait for you to explain your side. I just....I just hated the idea that she was your fiancée. It looks like your mom also wants her to be your wife" I smiled faintly, remembering his mom's reaction when she saw me a while ago. I didn't want to judge her or anything but I could see and feel how much she dislikes me. I can't blame her though.

I knew she just doesn't want her son to get hurt again. I hurt him before but I God knows how much I regretted that decision of mine. I even hated myself for a long time because I knew how much I hurt him before. I've been a total coward and if his mother dislikes me because of that mistake I made before then I'll do anything to fight for him.

I'll show to his parents how much I love their son. I hugged him tightly.

"Don't say sorry. I understand. Remember, it's only you and no one else" I nodded my head and I felt his kiss on my head. The jealousy and anger faded just like that.
