"Shh... I've got you after several centuries. Let me stay like this." He says and I comply.
"Ahem!" Desmond clears his throat after a few minutes. I try to pull away but Diego doesn't let me. He then unwraps his one arm from around me to let me turn my head to Desmond while his other hand remains around my shoulders.
"So... we are not going now?" Desmond asks.
"That isn't even a thing to ask. She is staying here, with me. If anyone wants to go, you are free to go." Diego says in a stern voice and both the men have the eye to eye contact that lasts for half a minute.
"Ahem." I clear my throat to get their attention and succeed. Diego and Des both look at me.
"We can at least stay for the Twin's birthday now," I say trying to lighten up the mood.
"Not just for their birthday. You are staying with me forever. And for that, there are significant steps to be taken which I'll disclose to you later." Diego says standing up along with me.
"Now, let's go. I need to talk a lot to you." Diego says before unwrapping his arm from around me and holding my hand rather. With that, he starts moving towards probably his room. I throw a smile at Desmond as I pass by him. I hope the twins don't make it a big deal.
"Let Brett and Rhett know we are staying here," I say to him before being dragged by Diego to his room.
I grin like an i***t all the way until we reach his room. He opens the giant door and we take fast steps inside the door. I feel I've again come to the past as I enter his room and different unknown feeling courses through my veins. Who knew I'd be here in his room after kicking him out of one yesterday night?
I notice a ghost of a smile on Diego's face as he leaves my hand for a second to close the door before holding it again and drag me to his bed. He sits on the bed before pulling me on his lap. I sit there blushing because this is so new to me. Today, I've got to know that I was married to Diego in my past life.
Does that mean I'm still married to him?
And why did I reborn? Because I had to meet my husband? But we could've both met in our new birth, right? And how is he even alive for these many years?
There are a lot of questions and I need answers to them all. Probably, he can help me know more about the man's voice I've been hearing. And also about the nightmares I have. Probably the nightmares are the flashbacks from my past life but why didn't I come across anything like that when I had traveled in my past life?
I pull out of my thinking session when I feel Diego breathing in my scent before kissing me on my neck. I feel a little uncomfortable but that is probably because I don't know much about him in this lifetime.
"So, you are not gonna tell me what happened to us back then? How are you still young and handsome even after several centuries? What have you bee doing all these years?" I ask and he looks at me with amusement.
"Handsome, huh?" He asks and I nod suddenly interested in knowing how my hands are formed.
"f**k it!" He suddenly lets out before smashing his lips on mine. I gasp and he bites my lower lip chewing on it before a loud smashing sound is heard. I flinch at the loud sound and Diego pulls away before a loud thunder is heard. We both look in the direction of the window and see a storm. The lightning is so loud and dangerous that I hold Diego close to me who has a frown on his forehead at the sudden change of the weather.
"Hey, it is okay. It's just a little rain. Don't shiver Alexandra." Diego says cooing at me but nothing is helping. I don't want to be here, in this room.
"Let's go outside please..." I plead while he rubs my back.
"Yes, we can go outside. Shh..." He soothes before standing without leaving me and moves out of the room with me in his arms bridal style.
I feel myself shiver all the way to the nearest living room.
"Lex!" I hear Brett call my name standing beside Desmond and Rhett in the same room.
"Put me down, please." I quickly say to Diego and he complies.
"Hey, Brett." I greet him who is drunk and I know it's because all three of them planned to have a party of their own before I had decided to explore the castle. But I'm sure he is not that drunk and can process things as he is used to drinking.
Brett and Rhett look at me suspiciously and I try to lessen the awkwardness but it doesn't help. I look at Desmond for help who is looking outside with a frown on his face. I don't know why he has been acting so weird.
"Would you like to explain, Lex?" Brett says coming to my side and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. Before I could react, I'm pulled from behind and smash against a hard chest of my husband, if he still is. What do I call him though? Husband? Ex-husband?
I see Diego glaring at Brett who is looking confused with all this. Looking over Brett's shoulder, I see Rhett tensing up too. That is understandable though. Brett is Rhett's brother. Obviously, Rhett wouldn't like it no matter how much he smacks Brett's head himself.
"Guys... um..." s**t! What do I even say in this situation!?
"Brett, he didn't mean it. I mean, it's just he didn't like you touching me." I try to explain and Brett just gives me a more confused look and Rhett stands beside Brett.
"Are you dating him?" He asks.
"She is my wife." Diego simply says.
"Was!" Desmond pipes in.
"Is!" Diego says.
"She has born again! And in this lifetime, she doesn't even know you!" Desmond counters.
"She'd know. And I'll make her mine again!"
"She is not an object that you can just take and make yours!"
"I never said she was. It's what you are implying."
"It's what you are sounding like!"
"I don't care how I sound like to you!"
"Well then, I'm never letting Alexa stay here!"
"Who are you to decide that?"
"So much more valuable to her than you'd ever be!"
"Keep boasting about yourself then!"
"I'm not boasting! It's you who asked for it!"
"Nonetheless, she is going to be here with me!"
"What makes you think that?"
"It's what I believe!"
"The world doesn't revolve around what you believe!"
"She is my wife and will go with me!"
"Go with you!? So, you want to take her away!? And where!? And how the f**k are you even alive!?" Desmond lets out outraged and I can tell his temper is very high.
"I've waited for her in this very same castle for years! Roaming around these rooms all lonely in hope that I'll get her back! And now when I have her, I'll take her with me and make her like me! I'm not losing her this time!"
