Chapter 19
Shcok.
Rage. Anger. Exasperation. Annoyance. Disbelief. Hurt. Humiliation. The
boiling volcano deep inside Joe Morelli foams and roars as the hot and
stuffy world around him starts to spin. His balled fists tremble and
tighten. His mouth hangs open and abruptly closes. He wants to scream
out his fury. He wants to set free his frustration. He wants to punch
and strangle and kill somebody with bare hands. He wants to yell and
curse at the top of his lungs. He wants to grab and shake Stephanie. He
wants to ask her how long she has been cheating on him. He wants to look
up at the cloudless blue sky and ask God what has just happened. He
doesn't want to believe his eyes. He can't believe his ears. He has just
lost his Cupcake, the woman he from time to time thought he might truly
love.
Surprise. Joy. Happiness. Gratefulness. Glee. Love. Relief.
Stephanie Plum's whole universe brightens up and starts to twinkle like
a Christmas tree. She feels she needs to say or do something, but
somehow she can't think straight at this moment. "I love you too,
Stephanie Plum." She can't tear her eyes off Ranger. She keeps hearing
his words in her ears. She wants to place her hands on his muscular
chest. She wants to feel the power, the strength, and the heat of his
body. She wants to laugh. She wants to cheer. She wants to dance. She
want to kiss him and melt into him. She looks at him unblinking. She's
not sure if she's still breathing. Did she just looked into his eyes and
see eternity?
Ricardo Carlos "Ranger" Manoso remains cool and
calm. His lips curl up into a small dazzling smile as Stephanie puts a
slightly shaking hand on his chest. He's happy with his decision. He
doesn't want his life to be full of darkness and regrets. He looks into
the clear shining eyes of the woman he loves. A part of his attention
focuses on the upset frowning police detective standing only a few feet
away from them. He knows Morelli's wrath is about to erupt.
But will the famous Burg Bad Boy make yet another wrong decision and choose to fight? He's curious to know.
