Felina collapsed back down into her bed in a heap of bitter tears, as the words Charles said soaked into her jealous heart, Felina was completely beside herself with grief and overwhelming misery. So, all alone, with no one to show her any mercy, or pity, Felina crawled back under her covers and lay her head down to try to forget and go to sleep. She had just managed to drift off, as her tear-stained pillow began to dry, when suddenly she was awoken by the sounds of laughter and loud voices, with splashes in the pool, coming from just outside her window. Now Felina was outraged, still nursing a terrible hangover, when she bolted upright from her bed to throw open the french doors and scream down at the lot of them to shut up. However, when Felina went out on her balcony and she looked down at the pool she was stunned to see Xation looking so elated and perfectly happy, even with his black eye and bruised ribs. Felina sat down at the little table, going unnoticed, as she sat there up on the second story, staring down at the beautiful couples. For Charles was there with his whore, Lexa, whom Felina had grown to despise in such a very short time. All were laughing and chatting with one another, telling stories, drinking pitchers of ice cold Sangria. All the while Felina sat out under the noon day sun spying upon everyone, and the more she watched, and the longer she waited to leave, her jealous little heart began to seethe.
She listened to the sound of her brother's rich and hearty laugh; which used to do her heart good to hear, but Felina had not had the pleasure of hearing such laughter from Xation, in such a very long time. She knew, in her tortured heart and soul, her brother was truly now the happiest she had seen him in an even longer amount of time. Felina had seen her brother with dozens, upon dozens, of girls by the family pool, from the time he was a teenager to now, a full grown man of 33, a captain of industry, but now sitting next to his 'green-eyed American Dream' as Xation called her, he appeared completely at ease and stress free. She had never witnessed Xation react this way to a woman and Felina felt sickened by the sweetness of their new found love and great affection for one another. The very thought of her brother being with 'that woman' made her nauseous. Unable to watch Xation and 'that woman' basking in the summer sun and the light of their love, Felina turned her attention to Charles, who was reclining on one of the lounge chairs rubbing coconut oil into his bronze skin, while Lexa swam lap after lap in the pool. He looked so good lying there, Felina thought to herself, admiring his long, lean, muscular body and rock hard abs, wearing a dark pair of sunglasses and a little pair of swim trunks, his full, moist lips were stained the color of blood from the wine. Felina gazed down upon the perfect, highly desirable body of the man she could have had forever, but Felina, out of her deep abiding love, and Unity, Loyalty, Respect and Honor for her brother Xation, she had abided by his wishes. Felina had her two weeks of fun with Charles and then she had let him go, set him free. Now with the extreme passion she, indeed, still harbored in her heart for Charles, Felina now questioned if she had done the right thing, because she still had such deep affection for Charles she called into question her own decision.
So it was, Turmoil, Angst, Fear, Hatred and Jealously began to manifest their ugly faces in Felina's bitter heart and she could fell the caustic rage churning up inside her, just as it had early in December when she and Humberto, Serena's fiance went out riding that day. She was beginning to feel that same way again, her heart racing, palms sweating, throat and mouth dry, what felt like a nest of vipers curled and coiled up in her intestines, a sharp, stabbing pain in the middle of her black heart. Now, had Felina managed to get herself up from her chair, go back inside, lay back down and go to bed, what happened a few moments later would never have occurred. Also, if it were not for the fact that Charles happened to catch a glimpse of Felina up on her balcony eavesdropping in on them, then he would not have behaved the way he did, and had he known the affects his words would have on her fragile sanity, then Charles would have kept his fucking mouth shut! Alas, none of us can ever control the outcome of our actions, once done, it is done.
Now Charles thought he would give Felina a little taste of her own medicine, so Charles got up from his lounge chair and went down to the deep end of the crystal blue pool, where he made a perfect swan dive off the diving board, splashing the refreshingly cold water all over Lexa, who only laughed as Charles swam up underneath her, then he grabbed her by the waist, picking her up in his arms, giving her a playful kiss as Felina sat there simmering in her intense, unexpressed anger. Then Charles went one step too far in his words, when he asked Lexa "So, what do you make of Xation and your sister Leah..?"
Lexa glanced back at the pair as they sat out under the umbrella at the table engaged in a friendly game of chess. "Well, honestly, I don't know what to make of it, this little affair of theirs had caught me off guard, she has been acting strangely and she looks at him with such intense love.., it makes me a little uncomfortable.., I think I'm afraid Xation could steal her away from me." Lexa laughed nervously sharing the true fear of her heart.
'Steal her away.' Lexa's words echoed through Felina's brain as she realized that Leah would steal Xation away from her and Lexa had already stolen Charles away from her bed and replaced her in his heart and mind. Every word Felina heard was like another little dagger in her back.
Charles and Lexa swam over to the corner of the pool, closer to Felina, who hung on every word they spoke then Charles said, just loudly enough for Felina to hear. "Well.., Xation told me the other day, that he is absolutely in love with Leah.., Xation also said he knew this was the case, when he realized he would, willing, take a bullet in the head for her, just to keep her safe."
Now these words startled Lexa, because she had never heard of anything so romantic, however, Felina's mind, and hateful nature, was filled with extremely painful desires, of a murderous nature, and these words that Charles spoke, in all truth and honesty, was like setting off a time bomb in her brain. It was at this very moment when Felina heard the voice of 'that woman' her brother had fallen in love with say "Hey, I left my mobile phone upstairs..," she said calling out to Lexa saying "I forgot to call mom and dad yesterday." she gave Xation a quick kiss as she went back in the quiet house and just as soon as Felina saw this, all her jealousy, anger and rage outweighed all her reason and logic as she quickly slipped back into her bedroom, putting on her brother's bathrobe, Felina crept out of her room to lay in wait for Leah at the top of the stairs.
