Chapter 10
“What’s up?” Elizabeth asked as she looked right at Dom.
“Elijah…”
“What now?” She asked as she rolled her eyes.
“He’s been…watching her and even interrupted once.” He 発言しました as he clenched his fists in anger.
“Interrupted?” I asked.
“Yes, there’s rules for a reason.” Elizabeth 発言しました as she turned and smiled at me. “Hello, Alexandra how are you?”
“Yeah someone’s going to have to explain these ‘reasons’ to me..and answer a hell of a lot of questions.” I 発言しました as I looked from Elizabeth to Dom and back. “Oh, and hello Elizabeth, sorry if I’m coming off rude.”
“She is a little spitfire isn’t she?” Elizabeth 発言しました as she laughed. “You’ll fit perfectly.”
“Ok.” I 発言しました as I got really pissed off. “Enough with the little cryptic messages, enough with the jokes…just tell me what’s going on…Dom, please?”
“You’re going to have to tell her ya know?” Elizabeth 発言しました as she smiled at me.
“I know Elizabeth…but not yet.” Dom 発言しました as he looked at me and spoke again before I could get upset. “Alex, we have quite a while. Please let me explain when I can, in a different place..if Elijah is truly watching あなた then I can’t say what I want to now…it will only help him.”
“Help him how?” I asked as I took a step closer to him.
“He knows that…”
“Just tell her あなた idiot.” Elizabeth said
“Elizabeth.” Dom 発言しました with a look that made me want to step back, but I didn’t.
“No, don’t get mad at her.” I 発言しました as I closed the distance between us. “Please, just tell me what あなた can and I will go with you.”
“Elizabeth, give us a second.” He asked as he reached for my hand and waited until my hand wrapped around his.
“Ok but I won’t be far.” She 発言しました as if she could defend us somehow.
“Dom?” I asked as I touched his shoulder, hoping he would look at me, just tell me what the big secret was.
“He would try and either turn あなた against me または use あなた somehow to hurt me.” Dom 発言しました softly as he looked at the ground. “He knows how…important あなた are to me..that it would kill me to not…”
“To not what?” I asked as my pulse raced.
“To not have あなた here, with me.” He 発言しました as he looked up at me.
I was instantly ロスト in my own thoughts, so many things were going through my mind…I had so many 質問 that I still needed answered but none of them mattered at this moment. All I could think about was this guy standing in front of me, holding my hand who just told me that he couldn’t live without me. That I didn’t actually know him または anything that was going on here, but deep down that didn’t matter to me..I knew instantly that I felt the same way, that I didn’t want to be away from him..that I wanted to stay here both to find out what was going on and because I didn’t want to be apart from Dom.
“Alex?” Dom asked, the tone in his voice made it obvious that he was getting nervous.
“Sorry,” I said, and as soon as the words came out of my mouth I wished that I could take them back because he took it the wrong way, I could almost feel the hurt and sadness coming out of him.
“It’s ok.” He 発言しました as he went to pull his hand out of mine.
“No.” I 発言しました as I held his hand tightly in mine. “Wait, Dom please hear me out.”
“No, it’s ok Alexandra. I understand.”
“No あなた don’t.” I 発言しました as I stepped so close to him that I could feel the heat coming off of him. “I feel the same way…I don’t know how..or why but I don’t want to leave you, the idea of being away from あなた scares me. The whole time I was gone, after I fell on the ice I was trying to get back here, back to you.”
“Really?” He asked in disbelief.
“Truly.” I 発言しました as I felt myself blush.
“You’re not just saying it?”
“Why won’t あなた believe me?” I asked, my feelings hurt.
“It’s…” He 発言しました as he got frustrated. “I thought あなた were going to say no, that あなた didn’t feel the same, that..”
“Dom, what can I do to prove to あなた I feel the same way?” I asked him as I dropped my hands to my sides, unsure what to do with myself.
He looked at me for a 秒 before he leaned down and kissed me, his lips so soft and smooth against mine. I was shocked at first and wasn’t sure how to respond, but something deep in my soul told me that this was right.
“What’s up?” Elizabeth asked as she looked right at Dom.
“Elijah…”
