Two to Tango

Chapter Twenty-one

A year and 5months later
Xander's POV
   I sat in my study room scrolling down my laptop to continue typing away, I'm so stressed out, well I've been stressed out lately. A week ago was Kaden's 8th year old birthday, I made it memorable for him, despite Mia, I love Kaden so much, I love kaden so much more than Samantha I guess.
Speaking of Vicky, I've been looking for her, she just seems to disappear and since then I can't find her, I groaned... I'm going to have a migraine tomorrow, only if mia was here, she gives the best head massages. Do I regret leaving her? Yes! Do I want to go back? No! I'm proud and I feel I should punish her but that's not the main reason, Mia needs to stay away from me...she needs to know i would do her no good, the moment Vicky gets to know about Kaden she will rush here asking questions and demanding the entire world from me, in order to save Mia.
I'm not in a mafia but my enemies are worse than a mafia. I do have friends in the mafia but I never use them, I like to work clean for my money even though it takes me all day and night to bury my head in my laptop.
"You look terrible" neon commented making me roll my eyes at him, I raised my head just to meet him leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face
"You look like you just had sex" I joked and he pushed himself off the wall to my table dragging a chair to sit in front of me.
"I'm not gonna lie bro, I did have sex" he replied and I shook my head going back to my work.
"You're gonna die someday because of too much work" he said causing me to grin
"I've been waiting for that day"I replied and he closed the laptop
"Come on bro! You left Mia but it's like you left your happiness with her and flew here" he said
"I did leave my happiness...I left it the day I told her goodbye. I left her,my only source of peace and love...."
"Stop! You're acting like a high school boy who just lost his crush" he said and I turned my head away from him, I am not a high school boy who lost his crush, I'm a pathetic grown man who lost the love of his life due to his pride and stubbornness.
"We are going out today, to the vipers club and I want you to get laid!"he ordered telling me there's no choice for me. I looked back at him, neon has been doing his best to make me forget about Mia, but I'm afraid my heart has to be uprooted first before that happens.
"And Kaden?" I asked trying to look for some excuses
"Julianne will take care of him till we return" he said and a raised a brow scratching over my now grown stubble. I need a shave
"You're going to a club and you're leaving your girlfriend at home to babysit?"I asked
"Yes!" He exclaimed and left
He's something else.

****
I stepped out of the longest shower I've had in years, shaving everything necessary, I wore white tees and jeans with white converse.  I rest my head on the mirror and the only thing that comes to my mind is
"Will mia be pleased to see me go there?" Absolutely not, the door stormed open to be met by an angry Kaden, I snapped my head from the glass to ask him what.
"You're leaving me tonight?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest, anger oozing from him
"Yes son but I'll come back tomorrow" I replied trying to calm him down
"Where are you going ?" He asks slightly calmly
"Just to a party, I'll be back soon son" I replied ruffing up his hair before  meeting neon in his car and he drove off.

****
The club was like every other club, sweaty bodies grinding each other, multi color lights illuminating the whole room. I and neon sat on opposite stools at the front of the bar drinking our 5th cup of whiskey... I swear I'm already tipsy, but anything to keep my mind of Mia, I chugged the 6th one before looking over to neon to see him looking at me.
"What?" I asked
"I brought you here to get laid, but how can you do that when you're wasted?"he asked
"When I see a girl, I'll get laid! Don't rush me" I replied, the effect of the alcohol already taking over my body
"Right!" He said sarcastically and walked off
"Bartender please another glass" I requested while the bartender left, after a couple of minutes he dropped the glass of drink. I picked it up ready to drink, when a hand stopped me.
"You really drink alot mister"
My brows creased, even though I haven't had a peek of the person..I know that voice, I can recognize it anywhere, I tilted my head to look at this mysterious woman. Mia?? My eyebrows shot up.
It can't be! I jumped out of the chair to take a good look at her, her brown hair cut to her shoulder length and she was wearing a red net-like short dress, I could see the only thing underneath was a red bra and a red pant with red heels underneath and heavy makeup. Mia knows my best color is red.
It's not mia.. Mia doesn't like clubs, Mia wouldn't dress like this outside except for me, Mia don't even know where I am at this moment. 
"Mia?"
"Who's Mia?" She looked around "my name is Anita" she said seductively.
No! She claims to be another person but she looks exactly like Mia, she has the exact voice of Mia. She's definitely not her look alike...it must be the alcohol playing tricks on me. I looked around in search of neon, I'm sure he could help me clear my doubts but I couldn't find him, I looked back to see Mia...who claims to be Anita staring at me in such confusion.
"And who are you looking for?" She asked raising her eyebrows in question "am I not good enough?"
"No you're...you're perfect I swear"I replied even before I knew it, her facial expression softened, she nodded before dragging me out of the bar, upstairs to the lounge halls that were quiet enough, she pulled open a room door shoving me inside before locking it and turning to me, tears brimming her eyes.
"I'm perfect?" She asked
"Mia.."I couldn't fathom words to speak to her
"Then why do this to me? Why leave me alone? You promised you won't leave me again but you broke your promise in a heartbeat. You didn't think of
me,you didn't think of me" she ranted tears falling down her face, for the past 8years she's been so used to crying and I hate that. I want to change it. She walked towards me closing the gap between us and dragging my shoulders furiously, she looked straight in my eyes trying to find something before she started sobbing again.
"You didn't think of me or Kaden or yourself, you broke my heart over and over again, you doubted my love for you....you hurt the same woman you  claimed to love" she said quietly. I was about to say something before she cut me off putting her fingers on my lips
"I know what I did was wrong, I was young and foolish and I thought I could give kaden a better life without you, I stayed away from you, I took kaden from you for 6years and you did the same thing to me for 2years and every day of my life I want to kill myself...." she yelled!
"Mia!" I warned her grabbing both of her hands tightly
"I just want to kill myself Xander, I can't live with the guilt or the hate I have in me" she said calmly her eyes dripping of fat tears. I dragged her towards me hugging her tightly as she sobbed on my shoulders.
"Mia!, don't you ever say that again" I scolded before continuing:
"I love you so much and these past 2years has been hell for me without you, I was so blinded by rage and anger and pride that I thought of hurting you but I only hurt myself and Kaden, I don't know how to re-write my mistakes Mia...I deserve hell for my sins and I don't know how you'll forgive me. I don't know what do...."she pulled away from my embrace to look at me, she wiped her tears away carefully not to smear her makeup and she took my big hands into her small hands gripping them firmly.
"We've both made mistakes and I want to correct them. Xander....I want you to grant me a wish" she said
"Anything Mia" I replied eagerly.
"Tonight, I want you...I want you and only you to make love to me Xander." She requested quietly almost a whisper.
I looked at her dumbfounded, she wants me to do that? She was supposed to be mad at me, she was supposed to hate me for what I did,amidst trying to revenge on her, she still wants me to make love to her? I don't deserve her,not at all.
"L-love?" I stuttered while she nodded
"If that's what you want then" I said and crashed my lips into her savoring the taste of her like she's going to melt, i hope this isn't a dream. It didn't take her much struggle for her to submit to me, I carried her and rested her on both of my hips not once breaking the kiss as I walked her towards the bed dropping her slightly on it and hovering over her and still we didn't break the kiss, she begun tugging on my shirt indicating she wants it off while I fastened her zipper of her dress,she broke the kiss to remove the dress while I quickly removed my shirt and my trousers leaving me only in my briefs, I stared at her to be met with the most beautiful gray eyes ever staring back at me with love care and affection. The same eyes that I've fallen in love with over and over with.
I caressed her cheeks slightly, tonight is going to be all about you Mia, no foreplay, no teasing, just love.

*****
I opened my eyes staring at the ceiling, yesterday's memories crashing into my brain, I just hope it wasn't a dream, I tilted my head slightly too scared of the outcome and was met by the most beautiful smile and face staring at me. she licked her lips,my eyes following that little action making me dick twitch in response, I swallowed hard.
She's here
She's found me
It wasn't a dream
But how? How did she find me?
"Mia how did you find me?" I asked way too quickly
"Well good morning to you too" she replied sarcastically, putting her chin on my torso to look at me well, I chuckled... wow! It's been long I did that
"Morning mia" I said giving her a toothy grin
"Xander" she called while I hummed
"You can't hide from me for long, I'll always find you and I don't care if I give up the whole world to be with you. I've come and I've come to stay with you....forever" she said tracing patters on my chest, I sat up resting my back on the headboard before pulling her naked body to my laps and crashing my lips with her.

I love her
I'll always love her till the death of me.
I love you Mia Schneider.
