Fighting For Love (Fighting Series Book 2)

"So your father is El Rey?" he ask as we wait for our food. Well he got right to the point wasting no time. "Yes my real name is Jane Santana," I take a sip of my soda hoping that some how it will turn into wine.

"So you're a cop?" I hit him with that question. If he isn't wasting no time neither am I. He nods his head "I'm a Lieutenant in the N.Y.P.D," he sips on his soda. He is a Lieutenant? Oh god I thought him being a cop was bad. How didn't I know? "I had no idea who you were until a few days ago" he adds. I don't know if I should believe him. How can I believe him?

"You're going to tell me that you didn't look me up in the system?" I ask finding it hard to believe that. He chuckles "Of course I did have you met me? But I search for Jane Carter and some how a file came up with your picture". What? A file came up? How? Does my father have some one working inside? I wouldn't be surprise if he did.

"That's strange" I frown. "Yeah," he agrees "I haven't put to much mind into it until now". I can see his brain working over time trying to make the puzzles fit. I wish him good luck because I been trying to put them together and so far I have nothing.

I fold my napkin for the 20th time "Why didn't you tell me?". I need to know why he never told me he was a cop. If he didn't know who I was than why keep that a secret from me? That is messing with my head.

"Well at first because I didn't trust you I mean it wasn't like we were friends," he has a point we weren't friends we actually hated each other "and then I wanted to keep you safe I knew there was something going on with you and I knew you wasn't going to trust me if I told you I was a cop". That's also true if I would of known he was a cop I would of packed my things up and run.

"Why didn't you trust me?" he ask with the same hurt expression as I did. "I did, I mean I do trust you," I correct myself before going on "I knew it was only a matter of time before my father send someone looking for me all I wanted to do was enjoy the time I had. I never once though I was going to fall in love but then you came around and turn my life upside down with those green eyes. No matter how hard I tried hating you I couldn't". I stare him straight in the eyes so he can see that I'm not lying "I was so close to telling you so many times but I wanted to keep you and Sophia safe from the hell I live". Tears start to build up in my eyes and it's getting harder for me to speak. He shakes his head and I stop him from speaking "I totally understand if this is to much for you" I add. Why would he want to be with some one like me when he can have a normal girl who has a normal dad not a drug lord. It would kill me all over again to have him walk away from me but at least I know he is alive. I love him so much that I'm willing to let him go. I can live with that.
