Fernando's POV

This is so unbelievable! Of all things, Fernando Perez is being accused of being gay! For crying out loud, do I have the looks of gays? That nosy girl named Sabrina will hear from me when I get home. I know Micaela can never think of me being gay, her friend brainwashed her to believe that.

But why would Micaela even believe such a lie? Is that how bad she thinks of me?

"You are making me believe you are truly a gay as you're not talking," Micaela muttered and I glance up at her.

"Why do you care about my response to that accusations? Would it change what you already think of me?"

"Maybe you are right, you don't owe me any explanation of why you chose to be a gay, because I already know why".

I furrowed in confusion. "You already know why? What are you saying? I already told you I’m not a gay".

She stared at me for a moment and shook her head. "Never mind. It's getting chilling out here, we should head home already. I guess we'll continue this conversation when we get to my abode".

"Yeah, we definitely will. That your nosy friend has a lot of explanations to give to me" I countered and handed her my black jacket and then hailed a cab that was approaching us.

She collected the jacket from me and put it on. "Please don't get in trouble with my girlfriend if not you'll have me to contend with".

I squint at her and she gave me a scornful look. I smirk and said, "We'll see about that".

The cab halted right in front of us and we both hopped in. A couple of minutes later we arrived at Micaela's house and good enough Sabrina was in the parlor seeing a movie. Immediately she heard the clicking sound of Micaela's heels she turnaround and stood up like she was being called upon. Such a busy body I groaned inwardly.

"Girlfriend? What are you doing here so early? Don't tell me this jerk face dragged you out of the club and left Mario all alone at the party?! Because if he did, I'll kick him in his balls!" she blabs and I groan aloud and shook my head.

"No, calm down, Sabri. He did the opposite" Micaela replied.

"What do you mean he did the opposite?" Miss nosy asks.

"He saved me from Mario".

Miss Nosy snickered and shrugged. "Is Mario a bad guy that this guy here will be saving you from?"

"Obviously yes!" I answered on Micaela's behalf and miss nosy glanced at me with a glare.

"Hey don't talk bad about my friend, he's a good guy, it is you that is a bad guy" she retorted and I raised a brow at her.

"How am I the bad guy here? I'm not a rapist compared to your friend Mario who is" I scoffed and miss nosy flared up in anger and stormed towards me. Micaela rushed up to our middle holding her back from doing whatever she had in mind.

"Sabrina, stop! I know you feel offended by what Ferd is saying but it's the bitter truth. Mario almost raped me in the club if Fernando hadn't shown up at the right time and prevented him from doing that".

"What!" Nosy lady exclaims with wide eyes. "You mean the same Mario you and I know? The sweet gentleman that buys you roses and serenaded you?!"

"Yeah, the same one" Micaela answered weakly.

So, Mario has been sending her flowers and doing all sorts of romantic stuff just to get her in his bed? He is lucky I didn't know about this before now because I would have added it to his beatings.

"I can't believe this! How did it happen, what triggered him to do that? Was he drunk or something?" miss nosy asks with her penetrating voice.

"Trying to defend him, huh?" I inquire and she scowled at me.

"Shush! You're not Micaela" She shunned me and I snorted. "Oh, my beautiful friend, hope he didn't hurt you?" she asks touching Micaela's face and arms.

"No, I'm fine. All thanks to Fernando I wasn't hurt. But I still feel creepy at his touch" Micaela gave an irritated frown.

"Oh, my dear" Sabrina whined and hugged Micaela. "You know what girlfriend? You should go soak up yourself in a warm bath so you'll feel all clean again. Mario is going to answer me for messing with you, both on the phone and in reality!"

"I don't think talking to him again about this is necessary. Fernando already put him in his place."

Nosy glances from me to Micaela. "What did you do to him?"

"Nothing, no need to get overly worried about him. I just told him to stay away from Micaela if not he'll stop being an artist" I flashed her a honeyed smile and she raised a suspicious brow at me.

"Just that?" she asks and I nodded. "Is he telling the truth girlfriend?"

"Yes, nothing more than that" Micaela concurs and sighs.

"And you both think he'll keep to his words?" nosy asks and I shared a glance with Micaela.

"He had no choice but to keep to his words if not it'll end badly for him" I answered and she gave me another wary glare and glanced at her friend.

"Girlfriend you and I still need to talk about this later. For now, you should go have a bath and I'll have Ji-hye set up the dining".

"Thank you. See you soon. I'll be right back Fernando, feel at home" Micaela said and left us alone.

"Well, well, well, we're finally alone, just what I wanted" I smiled half-heartedly at her and she rolled her eyes.

"Thank you for saving my friend. But have it in mind that doesn't make you and I friends still".

"You are right. I don't want to be friends with someone that is so judgmental about others without really having to know them" I fired back and she crinkled her brows at me.

"What do you mean?" she asks looking clueless like she didn't understand what I was driving at.

"You nosy one put it in Micaela's mind that I'm gay. True or false?"

She wheezed and her mouth remained a gape. Her strange paled eyes darted in shock and my gaze penetrated her. Oh Sabrina, your nosy self just got you in trouble. You have a lot of explanations to do tonight, so get ready for me.
