Revelations
(present time)
Lucia:
When Alonzo asked me why I stepped in to save him, I myself didn't know but, it just felt like the right thing to do. Alonzo sat next to me and said I know I was a monster to you, I have so much regret, I havn't been able to sleep a full night during these years you were missing, I cried sometimes, looking back how stupid I was not to have forgiven you for sleeping around prior to our marriage.
I looked at him dumfounded, I asked him where did you get an idea like that?, that I slept around? I have never slept around! I went to the university, worked, did internship, but never even had a boyfriend, much less slept with anyone! I wanted to continue my career and maybe start my own business, the only one I ever had a crush on was you already know was your brother!!, but, that ended when I married you, I wanted to make it at least as friends to start but, you had other ideas, I wish not to talk about it now. Alonzo put his head down, took my hand and kissed it again saying sorry. I could feel his tears land on my hand.
Alonzo:
I couldn't believe what Lucia was telling me, she has never been touched and I took her as slut, those photos of her with other men was not her! I could feel the anger rise in my blood. Brenda played me and did a hell of a good job, I was angry, because even though I knew, I was in love with Brenda, I still had some lingering feelings for Lucia, my precious Lucia, those photos brought nothing but, disgust and anger, I tortured my Lucia, she wanted to start as friends and work towards our marriage and I ruined it, now I'm here with her and have to earn her trust and love. I wont be able to live without her.
It's been 2 weeks, we will be released in the morning, I spoke to Mr. Torres asked if I could be allowed to stay a their mansion seeing that Brenda was still on the loose, I wanted to still protect Lucia no matter what, he knew Brenda was after me, he was a bit reluctant but, said ok. Even though I know Franco hates me, but I need to stay close to Lucia, her father had fortified Franco's home and anyone that wanted to enter, had to have clearance a day before.
Once anyone got to the gate they had to have their finger print taken and eye scanned or else no entry. I was happy to be staying there, my room was across from Lucia, my room formerly belong to Dante but, he was hardly ever home, Mr. Torres had our physical therapist chosen by my parents, they had their finger prints taken and their eyes scanned so when they arrived they would be cleared, they would be staying at the Torres home, on our first day, I showered got cleaned up shaved, it felt so good to not have a hairy face, brushed my teeth dressed up in grey sweats a muscle shirt, didn't want anything touching the bandages, I walked out of the room and seen my Lucia dressed in a lime green silk dress, it was below her knees, she is on crouches, her hair is now flowing down to her shoulders. she sees me walking towards her and greets me with a "Good Morning and a smile", how I miss that smile, time I seen it was when she was with Carlos, I walk to her, I ask her if she needs help, she just smiles and says no I'm ok. We go to the dining room, where I see Maria and Doris both serving us breakfast. Maria still is a bit cautious of me, I can tell she doesn't trust in me being close to Lucia. I do my best to smile and stay calm. Lucia see's that I'm a bit nervous and turns to me, looks me in the eyes, something she has never done on her own, then tells me, lets eat outside on the patio my parents are gone we are alone, I tell her, it would be easy for snipers to take a shot at us, she smiles and replies, my father had bullet proof glass installed around our patio with that, we let Doris know we will eat out in the patio.
We ate quietly, after we finished eating we sat there, after a bit, Lucia looks at me and asks, Alonzo, I like to know where did you get the photos of me supposedly sleeping with other men who took them? and how did they get to you exactly? I think back, Oh, I received a package with no return address or name, and when I opened it all these photos fell out, I was furious, I lost it I couldn't believe that you were sleeping around, while I was working, then Lucia cuts me off, asks me " working are you sure?" I look at her and ask her why would you ask if I was working?, she tells me I received also a package of you and Brenda having sex at what I believe is your office, hotels, and your home. I knew then that the only kind of relationship I could have with you was as friends., I had no intentions on breaking you up with her.
How could I have been so stupid it was all Brenda's doing.
Lucia:
Alonzo do you think we will ever live in peace ? I mean I don't want any of this, I just wanted to live my life happy with my own company and start my own family, right now it looks impossible
Alonzo replies, please relax Lucia, we will live in peace. We can start a family and you already have your company!'
No Alonzo, I'm not sure about us having a family I, I don't know, I do care about you, I am greatfull to you, but I don't know if we can live together, you have a bad temper and I can't go through what you put me through again. ''I'm sorry.
Alonzo looks at me with a sad face, tells me, Lucia I told you I will go through therapy please. I know I messed up really bad, but it was all because of jealousy and stupidity, please. I don't just want you, but I need you my heart needs you, heck my soul need you please! I see his eyes glossy, ready to cry.
Alonzo I, I really don't know. suddenly, I feel his lips land on mine, they are soft and warm, it's the first time I get a kiss a real kiss, Alonzo just took my first real kiss, I don't know how to respond, I can feel his tongue on my lips, he pulls back looks at me and says Lucia, you don't want me ? (but, I do I can feel my heart beating a million beats per second). Alonzo, you just stole my first real kiss!!
Alonzo says What? Do you mean even though before we got married you hadn't kissed anyone? now almost 6years later you still hadn't kissed anyone?
No Alonzo, I have always been too busy.
Lucia that's nothing to be embarrassed about, you worked really hard getting your company up and forgot about living your life. I don't want the divorce, I, I um, I really had a hard time without you, my family hated me, my parents didn't speak to me for about 2 years, your brothers wanted to beat me up where ever we met, I was so alone. I missed you, if your brothers beat me up I deserved it. but Franco came to my face on day while walking on the street he looked at me with so much fury, then he said the most hurtful words to me. "You are not worth the air that you breath", much less a minute of my time to beat you up! and walked away. I was broken without you, I have always loved you, I was so stupid and blinded by Brenda's lies. lets start over Lucia, my heart hurts really bad, when your not around.
It warmed my heart to hear that he loved me, but even then I felt fear. I am still afraid of him, I wanted to say yes right away, but my fear got the best of me, and since Brenda was still out there. The words just came out of my mouth, without thinking.
Alonzo, we can try but, the police needs to catch Brenda first, so we can be safe.
