''Rose'' I winced when my heavy eyelids opened. I balanced on my elbows and sat up to see him here, I was obviously surprised to see him here.
''What are you doing here Carter?'' I asked rubbing my temples to soothe my excruciating in my head, it was killing me, but the expression etched on Eric's face made fear grip my heart.
''You lied to me, Rose I, I can't believe that you are alive'' he uttered those words suddenly that broke my soul, again, all these years what I tried to hide, he just knew it? But how?
''W-What are you saying? Have you lost your mind, Carter?'' I tried to don my best straight face , I was failing a bit , Curse me.
''Odette, will you stop hiding from me, Please, you know how much how much I missed you, every second of my life, I thought about you, I thought I lost you'' he whispered holding my hands and tears streamed down his beautiful blues, my heart clenched as his tears dropped onto the carpet. ''You don't know how much my soul craved to be with you, how much my heart yearned to beat with yours , how much my eyes cried to see you , you don't know , now you are back .. I, I have no words! It was you all along! No wonder I had this feeling towards you since the start! Your face! Why haven't I noticed this all this time?''
My throat went dry, My head was spinning, what will I tell him? I have to lie to him , again but what? The happiness on his face was precious but I have to stop this delusion Ric.
I felt his breath fan my lips softly, before he could kiss me , I jumped back onto the bed , making him pass a frown at me , he was taken aback and I know that. I can't kiss him.
''Stop, Stop, I am not her , I am her sister , umm, her twin sister'' I lied shamelessly, and I kept a straight face and trustworthy face, and his face showed that he trusted me , the way his face broke , shattered me too, physically, I was lame and pathetic and I knew it
''What are you saying? I-If you were her twin then why would you have her ring, her pictures , you are lying again aren't you? Please stop lying with me'' he cried holding my hands, I closed my eyes and looked away , his tears have always been my weakness, I can't see him like this.
''Because I loved her , and this is , this is my daughter and, and she loved you , a selfish person like you! And to make the matters worse she had a daughter, But she died before I could, see my niece! You are pathetic because you know why? She died and you decided to make babies with some whore. And I don't want to see your face because I hate you for what you have done to my sister and these pictures and this ring, is the only thing left of her! Well, let's forget all this and now leave! Never mention her name ever again!'' I seethed , tears filling with tears for lying to him without flinching , when did I become such an expert? How can I lie at my Eric, he was the only person who could study me like a book, complete me like a jigsaw puzzle.
''I-I am sorry, I missed her so much , I never knew that she had a sister , Maybe you must be split when you were adopted, I understand, thank you for letting me know Ms Kathrine'' Eric apologised wiping his tears with the back of his hand ''I am sorry, but not sorry for loving Odette endlessly and forever because that is the best choice I ever made in my life, loving her '' he announced before looking at the magazine that was peeking from my bag. He trusted my words like it was true, His face was broken beyond despair.
