Alignment of the Stars

Chapter 15

I was so relieved about what happened. Neil helps me to leave the restaurant. He was entertaining my dad and he falls one of the plates as a sign of me leaving the place.

I looked at him and he smiles. And it breaks my heart seeing him hurting and enduring the pain, just to make me happy.

I was running while calling Conan. Conan wasn't picking up his phone. I was just running. I was catching my breath. I removed my heels so that I could run faster. I was looking for Conan. The sun was making me tired and sweaty, I arrived at his home but he wasn't there. I called him countless times but he didn't pick up his phone. I was just frustrated by identifying where he is. Until I remember something. I tried to go to the place we usually spend our special moments.

And I wasn't wrong.

He was just sitting on the bench as he looks above the sky. He was just sitting there alone. I coughed for a bit to let him know and discern my presence. But he ignored me.

I sit beside him and tries to talk to him.

"Hey, I didn't know that you transfer from another branch," I asked.

He was just ignoring my question. I tried to poke him but he was still avoiding me.

" I also didn't know that you were already getting married, I guess the feeling is mutual." He said while smirking.

He was so mad. I can feel the anger of his vibe.

"Are you jealous? Ohhh so your jealous now? " I was teasing him.

But he was just so serious.

" And what if I tell you that I'm jealous, would you leave him? What if I tell you that I'm jealous of the fact that I can't give you the things you desire." He said.

"You are already enough, I love you," I said.

He was just rebuking my words. He was questioning my love for him. He was having doubts. His tears began to shed.

"If you love me, be with me! Let's leave the prison that has been caged. Let's live together. Let's escape from this despair. If you love me you would also fight for our relationship. Be with me."

I also want to fight for the relationship that we have. I want to be with him. I love him. And I want to be free from the chains that have been suffocating my freedom.

"I'll be with you. I'll fight for you. I love you." As I kissed him.

I can feel his warmth. His lips were healing the pain inside. I was thirsty for more. He tries to heighten his kisses. I was losing my breath so I pushed him. But I once again pulled him into me and I want him to fill the insides of me. His kisses were going deeper and deeper and we didn't notice that we were outside.

It was awkward then, but I want more. I want more of him.

"I love you." He said.

He was looking at me.

He held for my hands and watch the sunset and welcomes the darkness. Stars began to show up and we saw how the beauty of their displacements was.

After watching and staring at the sky for hours we decided to went home. But I want to spend the rest of the night with him. We entered his house and his mother was happy to see me.

His sister, Marie gives me a warm hug. And I smiled back. Her mother prepared some of the food and I was shocked when I saw the cake, It was Conan's Birthday today. I looked at him and was shocked. I didn't prepare anything for him.

"Why didn't you tell me that it was your birthday today?" I asked.

He smiled.

His mother prepares the food and carries the cake. His siblings were singing a happy birthday song. He blows the cake and I kiss him.

We were eating happily. Celebrating his birthday with me, makes me flutter. But the fact that he didn't tell me that it was his birthday makes me curious about him.

After eating, I asked him several personal questions.

"Can I ask you something, where's your dad?" I asked him.

His smile begins to fade as his reaction was plain.

"His already with the stars, dead." He said.

Maybe that is the reason why he always keeps on avoiding my question. The pain of losing someone you love was swallowing him.

"I'm sorry to hear that, I shouldn't have asked you that question," I said

He nodded.

I hugged him to make him feel my love for him. I want to heal the pain that he is feeling. I don't want him to suffer the way I am suffering.

He stares at me and he kissed my head. I was leaning in his shoulders, feeling his warmth, his comfort. I want him to feel my love for him. I love him and I am willing to give him everything. I'll try to fight for him! I'll never leave him.

"What are you thinking?" He asked.

I just smiled at him.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about how handsome my man is. And how lucky I am to have you in my life." I said.

"You are fluttering me, love. I want you to have all the things that I have. I want you to be happy with me. I'll fight for us. "

The thought of his words seems to be redundant but I want to listen to it, again and again. It makes me feel safe, comfortable and loved. I will never leave him. I promise.

"I love you" as I kissed him

Happy Birthday my love, may your wishes and desires be heard by the sky. I'll always pray for you to reach your dreams. I'll always be right here for you.

I'll give you light when you're in the dark.

I'll stay.
