A light scream left my lips in front of the club.
I nearly dropped my phone from joy. The euphoric feeling that made my heart pound had me stumbling like a drunk.
"Oh my God," I whispered.
I heard footsteps running me and I turned. Diana was headed towards me with a concerned look on her face.
"What is it?" She asked.
I took a deep breath trying to calm myself.
"Killian wants to marry me!" I yelled.
"What?" Diana yelled back.
I looked around and we have gotten people's attention.
"Oops," I covered my mouth with my hand to stop myself from saying anything else.
"Oh my God, Catalina. This is amazing." Diana said in a low tone.
I felt lightheaded, my heart was beating so fast and at this rate, I was going to fall.
"Whoa!" Diana exclaimed.
"What?"
"The ladies here want to kill you with their eyes." She leaned in to whisper.
I froze as I looked around, she was right. They were staring daggers at me and murmuring to each other.
"Shit!" I swore.
"Shit is right. You are in deep trouble for wanting to take their man away from them." Diana said as she giggled.
I glared at her, "not funny."
"Let me go call Zack so he could drive you home," Diana said as she went into the club.
I grinned but it quickly left my face when I realized that she left me alone with these girls and they were still shooting daggers my way.
Not less than fifteen minutes, Diana was dragging Zack by the arm to meet me.
"What's going on?" He asked as soon as he got close.
"I need to head back," I said.
Zack stared at me with curiosity, he directed the question silently but I understood all the same.
"Killian texted me, he wants to marry me." The last part came out in an excited whoop.
Zack just stared at me not saying anything, I touched his arm gently.
"Please take me back." I pleaded.
I was so anxious to get home and see what Killian had planned for me.
I started walking ahead when Zack stopped me.
"Catalina?" He called out.
"Yeah?" I turned around to answer him.
I regretted it, the look in his eyes said so much without saying anything.
"It's not my place to say this but please listen to me." He pleaded.
"What?" I asked.
"Killian is not the marrying type, he..." He trailed off.
"He what?"
Zack kept silent, "Zack, what did he do?" I asked.
Diana held my hand like she wanted to offer comfort, I grabbed hers and told her I was fine.
I turned to face Zack again who was staring at me with that look.
"Killian would never marry you." He said.
My chest burned with pain but I refused to let it show on my face. If Zack was saying this to hurt me then I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.
"I am not saying this to hurt you. You are Diana's friend and it would be bad for me not to say anything." He said.
I nodded my head as I understood, I didn't but I had to pretend.
I mean, I didn't think Killian would choose to marry me but hearing from someone else made me look like trash. Was it something about me that made me a man's whore?
"Tell me what you know," I said
The look on my face showed that I was ready to hear it all but it wasn't, deep down I was scared of hearing something bad about Killian.
I wasn't sure if my heart would be able to take anything bad about him.
Zack took a step towards me, "he.."
"He?" I prompted.
"He killed someone."
My legs threatened to give out from under me, I felt weak and my ears rang from the news.
"He did what?" I asked shakily.
"He murdered someone, Catalina." Zack clarified.
I walked to the boulder and lowered myself on it. I needed to catch my breath.
"Oh, my God!" I said as soon as it dawned on me.
Killian was a murderer?
I have been sleeping with a murderer.
"Oh, my God!" I said again when it sank in.
The man knew everything about me but I knew nothing about him. Have I been so blind to realize this?
Diana came to stand beside me, her hand on my shoulder as she rubbed it.
I was glad to have her comfort.
"What do I do?" I asked.
"I think you should hear him out." She said.
"What if he kills me?" I asked.
My body trembled with fear when I thought about it.
"Hey, none of that now. If he wanted to, he would have done it a long time ago." She said.
I laughed a little despite my tears, it was funny.
"Not funny," I said through my laughter.
"I know." She said.
Zack stared at us like we had grown two heads.
"Drive me home?" I pleaded.
He nodded as he led me to the car. Diana still held my hand like she didn't want to let go.
The car ride was silent and all I could think about was Killian.
The same hands that pleased me had taken a life, I couldn't believe it.
Have I been so blind all this time to pay attention to him?
"We are here," Zack announced.
I snapped out of my thoughts, "that was quick." I said.
"I figured you were in a hurry to get back." He shrugged.
"Good luck," Diana said as she squeezed my hand.
I got out of the car and headed to the villa, my heart pounding in my chest at what I was about to see.
The question that nagged at my mind was if he proposes, would I say yes?
After knowing what I know now.
Truly did I know that I was about to get my answer behind the door.
