“I want to go back to my previous life, I want to leave here.” The unseen weight lifted off her shoulders when those words left her mouth.
Back at the club when she was on the verge of death, she promised herself that she was going to leave him alone no matter what.
The eerie silence of the room surprisedly didn’t choke her maybe because she was used to it. Alejandro was quiet and his face portrayed no emotion as usual, or she was wrong because when she stared deep into his eyes.
She saw a glint of anger missed with sadness, the anger she might believe but the sadness she must be dreaming.
She used the silent opportunity to continue.
“I can’t do it anymore, every day I was scared here, of not being killed yet I stayed thinking that I could change you but that thought left my mind when you sent me to my death without an escape plan because of an ordinary stone and files.” She stopped to catch her breath, her chest heaving a bit too much.
She was on the verge of tears remembering everything she went through at his hand. “I was loyal to you, you know that?” She took a peak at him but he just sat there staring at her with no emotion except his hand that was balled into a tight fist. His knuckles were turning white but she didn’t let that stop him.
“I would have never hidden those boxes from you if I knew you would be that angry but I begged Alejandro. I begged!” Tears slipped out of her eyes as the memories of her crying replayed in her head.
She sniffed and her gaze with his, “Do you hate me that much Alejandro.”
Alejandro went still at her last question, he was expecting her to demand her freedom before but her last question pulled something in his heart.
He released his balled fist and swallowed, he couldn’t believe he was nervous. He raised his hand and wiped the tear that had stained her cheeks.
“No.” He choked on his words not believing he said that but proud of himself to have finally accepted that with himself.
He continued, “I don’t know what you did to me Jasira, I claimed to hate you yet I couldn’t distance myself from you. If I try to do so, it hurts so much.”
Jasira’s jaw was ajar when she heard that. No, Alejandro couldn’t be saying this to him but she was more surprised when she found out he was not done.
“As I held you in my arms when you bleeding to death I hate myself. I regret ever sending you there. I blamed myself badly. I didn’t know what I felt for you but it definitely not hate.”
“Ale… what… are.” She couldn’t make out any words. She was out of words, he made her out of words with his confession. Does that mean that Alejandro had developed feelings for her?
“What did you just…” His warm lips on hers shut the rest of the words from her mouth.
She went still with her eyes bulge out. Ale fucking jandro was kissing her.
Her thoughts were all over the place, she was too shocked and dumbfounded.
He was not demanding, he was very calm just nibbling and sucking her lips until they parted with a gasp and his tongue swept in.
She moaned lowly as his tongue entwined with hers, the kiss was just everything she had imagined.
The feeling finally registered, Alejandro was kissing. Her heart fluttered, and pleasure shot through her forgetting her pains.
His tongue plunged deep into hers, his lips sucking hers and she moaned into his mouth.
He grabbed her hair pulling her close and finally let out a deep moan, she closed her eyes clutching his shirt tightly.
Their erratic breathing and their soft moans filled the ward.
She gasped for air when he withdrew his mouth from hers, her lips swollen and red.
She stared at anywhere but him, Alejandro kissed her and the thought made her blush deeply.
Alejandro wished he had kissed her before when he used to stare at her lips, he was drunk with her lips. Her lips were everything even it had been long that he kissed anyone.
They stayed in silence both lost in their worlds, he’d hoped she wouldn’t leave him and she was confused about whether he was only doing this to tame her.
Her heart wanted her to stay here but her mind was against it, she licked her lips still feeling his taste. He might have kissed her but that doesn’t mean he liked her.
“Alejandro,” She called lowly finding his eyes.
“I won’t stop you from leaving this time around.” He announced. Jasira was dazed, she searched his eyes for lies and saw nothing but genuity.
Is he really letting her go?
“Thank you.” She said and suddenly felt tired. All these months and she was free at last.
She laid down on the bed, her eyes drooping closed.
“You can have your sleep.” He said and she nodded muttering a thank you before closing her eyes and succumbing to the sleep.
Before she was completely thrown into the dream world, she heard him muttering something and when listened very well. She was gobsmacked.
“I wish you would stay with me and not leave like everybody.”
What does he mean by that but she had no energy to think about it and finally have her sleep.
Maybe she was wrong about him after all or maybe he was only pretending. Nevertheless, she was sure of one thing.
Leaving here to start a new life.
