The Passion Of My Enemy
** dinner **

"Amy called me, asked me to have dinner there" Reggie said.

Mike loosened his tie. Entering the kitchen room followed by Reggie.

"You're leaving, aren't you?" ask Reggie.

Mike opened the refrigerator, bent over to take out a bottle of drinking water. Reggie immediately thrust out a glass that Mike took.

He drained the drinking water he poured into the glass Reggie was thrusting. Close the water bottle and put it on the table. Reggie frowned, he took the water bottle and put it back in the refrigerator.

Mike looked at the pursed lips. Thinking that the girl had taken care of her apartment until it became very neat and orderly.

"Yes .. I'll come." Mike answered Reggie's question. Reggie smiled happily.

"In that case, can we leave early? I want to ask you what kind of wedding and party I don't want."

"Derek and Amy also invited someone other than us."

"Who?"

"Lucius Sanchez."

Suddenly the smile on the girl's lips disappeared. His face turned pale. It was still stiff after hearing Lucius' name.

Mike pulled on Reggie's arm, hugged him in his burly chest, leaning the color-lost face towards him.

"Until when do you want to keep all your secrets alone? Is there not a single drop of your trust in us? That we'll all be able to take care of you no matter what!"

Hearing that Reggie couldn't hold back his tears. He cried ... his fear seemed to come out with a heartbreaking whimper. Mike hugged her tightly, peeping at Reggie's head.

"Sstttttt, don't cry, Regina. I won't force you. You can talk about it slowly. I'll wait for you to be ready."

Those comforting words that tried to calm her down made Reggie cry even louder. Mike took a deep breath, he carried Reggie into the living room. Sit down and hold the girl.

Mike let the girl cry. Just stroking his long hair over and over and hugging his body tightly. Mike waited, until the noise subsided, stretching out the tissue to remove the remaining tear melts on Reggie's face.

"What haunts your dreams every night, Regina."

Reggie looked up, looking into Mike's gray eyes asking.

"You're very restless in your sleep. I heard you crying, even yelling!"

"I'm sorry .. You must be disturbed."

Mike snorted at the apology.

"From tonight, don't lock your door. That's enough Regina! You can't hold me anymore with that door. I'll ruin it if you lock it again tonight!'

Mike stared hard at Reggie's black eyes. Sending signals he was not playing around with his words. The girl just kept quiet.

"I'll tell Lucius if you don't obey! That there was a girl named Regina who had also met Greta Sky."

Reggie's face grew pale, looking up at Mike as if he could not believe the threat he had just heard.

"You allowed it!?"

"Derek just kept his promise. He'll free Sanchez to meet the people he wants to find. "

Reggie leaned his head back against Mike's chest. He felt very weak, as if his strength was lost hearing the man's words.

Mike raised the girl's chin. Forcing him to look into his eyes.

"Listen to me, Woman! I can't help you if you don't tell me everything!"

Mike looked at the pale face with puffy eyes. I don't know what fears Reggie's keeping. Mike could not continue his threat.

"Rest tonight Regina. I'll go there myself. I'll tell Amy you're not feeling well."

Mike hugged Reggie back to his chest to calm that pale face, peeping at the top of his head.

"And remember my words! I don't want to find a door that's locked tonight and so on!"

Reggie nodded his head in resignation, tiredness making him close his eyes. Choosing to calm himself in the arms of the man.

**********

Dinner went well, with Derek relentlessly being friendly and displaying his possessiveness in front of Lucius. It was as if announcing to his guests that Amy was his. His attitude even made Lucius amused and increasingly wanted to work on him.

Immediately after dinner, the men enjoyed their own drinks. The informal and relaxed attitude created makes each of them dare to speak his mind.

"So you're getting married soon?"

"Yes .. I guess if Mike arranged things on schedule. It will be two weeks."

"It's a shame .. means my chance to get you is gone, Tiny."

Lucius winked at the widened Amy. The girl turned her head quickly towards Derek.

"Find someone else, Sanchez ... Amy's mine!"

Lucius was stunned to hear that possessive phrase, while Mike snorted loudly. Derek shamelessly scooped up Amy who sat beside him and pegged on his two thighs. Red cloves running through Amy's face. Looking at the two men who were chuckling saw his face that was already like a ripe tomato.

"Oh .. You boys*n jerk! Just wait for the time! When a girl makes you feel shameful like Derek!" murmur Amy.

Derek chuckled at Amy's mockery, then kissed the girl's adorable reddened cheeks.

"That's not gonna happen, Tiny .. 'cause we're not your Derek."

Lucius again sipped a drink, Holding back the amused laughter that tickled him again. So does Mike who lifts a glass to the lips, sips the yellowish liquid and thinks about a black-haired girl in his apartment? ask in the heart. Why did he feel that the answer was not as certain as Lucius' words.
