"And what about my nightmares? Why do I always see two men fighting over a girl?" I ask Diego the reason of my nightmares. I know he is the only one who can tell me the actual meaning of those nightmares that have been hunting me since I was a child.
"Do you see their faces? Do you see what they look like?" He suddenly asks cupping my face and his voice and expressions show his urgency to know my answer.
"No..." I whisper confused. Why does he care about that? But my answer makes him release his sudden stress. I keep staring at him as he heaves a sigh.
"Why? What would have happened if I had seen them in my nightmares? Who are those people? They are related to me, aren't they? They are related to us? Tell me, Diego. I don't want to stay in dark. Please, tell me who are those people..." But his lips cut me off. He puts pressure on my lips before chewing my lower lip in between his teeth. I lose myself in his arms as he pulls me closer and onto his lap.
He deepens the kiss before I run out of my breath and he pulls away. Keeping me close, he caresses my cheek while I inhale more and more air.
"It's good that you didn't see them, baby. If you had, then I would have had to tell you everything and it's nothing good to hear. It's all nasty stuff that had happened to us back in that time. And I don't want you to remember that. I just want you to be with me now that I have found you." He says.
"But I need to know, Diego. Probably not now, but someday, I need to know. I can't let you have it inside you and feel sad and broken all over again. Let me share your pain?" I say looking him in the eye. I know he doesn't want to tell me because he thinks it's better this way. But I can't allow that unless there is some way even he would forget about it all. I can't let him suffer through the bad memories like that all by himself. He has already been suffering enough for these past so many years. He has been lonely enough in these dark walls. Now, when I know who I am and especially, when I know what I mean to him, I can not just do nothing. I will be the light for him who'd consume all the darkness surrounding him.
"Someday. I promise." He says before pecking me.
"Someday." I say before nodding while holding his gaze.
Third Person's Pov-
While the two love birds, Diego and Alexa talk to each other and share things about themselves. Desmond paces around in anger. Even after Brett and Rhett have been continuously trying to calm him, they are failing at it. The twins are already messed up with the revelation and their friend is also not in the state to talk to them.
He is angry, furoius but what is the reason?
When his friend is happy then why should he interfere but he can't just let Diego do as he pleases! The thought of Alexa with Diego doesn't fit well with him. He does not like the guy for some unknown reason, or probably the reason is clear. After all, he doesn't like anyone near Alexa and Diego just turned out to be her husband! From her past life!
When did the things mess up like this?! Probably it was my mistake that I brought them here! But I didn't know our trip to her would turn into something so unbelievable and completely shocking way. This is like some fictional movie!
Fuck!
Desmond continues his pacing with these thoughts swirling in his mind.
Desmond has always been protective but what his friends were witnessing now is something completely different. He has never behaved like this but then, everything used to be under his control then and Diego is far from that. If Desmond warned anyone in the university, they complied. But this time, his opponent was strong. And he couldn't get this information register in his mind that his friend is with someone talking about what! Or doing God knows what!
"Who is he even!? Why doesn't he show us his real identity! Who was he to her!? How can we still see him and why is he hiding all the truth from Alexa even!?" Desmond lets out frustrated before he stops in his tracks and abruptly runs to the stairs.
His shoes make noise as he makes his way on the same floor where he had found Alexa inside a box. He enters the same room as well and glances at all those portraits of Alexa. Without wasting time, he rushes to the big box and opens it. He finds a note at the top of every stuff wishing that the note would do the same to him that it had done to Alexa. He is desperate to go back in time and find anything that would prove Diego wrong! He couldn't just come and change their life like that!
He needed answers and he could only get them once he witnesses everything that had happened back in that time. And for that, he'll have to go check for himself, isn't it?
He gives a little hitch to the note. Suddenly, a woman's voice startles him before he could start reading the note.
"You can not do it."
