Cy's P.O.V
After hearing from Soyer that Aurora was at the hospital and rushing there to make sure she was okay, I ended up caving as she pleaded with me to forgive her. If I'm being honest I had already forgiven her, I guess I was just waiting to see how much harder she'd try to come back to me. Arriving home Mary is quick to embrace her.
"Miss Aurora! Welcome back." She smiles softly at her.
"Hey Mary, how have you been?." Mary looks at me and smiles nervously. What?
"Well, things have been a bit-"
"Mary." I say in a warning tone and she nods while Aurora looks down.
"Well let me fix you a cup of tea, excuse me." I head out into the garden with Aurora following closely behind and we both sit down, not saying anything to one another. "Here you are Miss." Mary says placing her tea on the table, it's only after she's left that Aurora says something.
"I guess you're waiting for an explanation."
"Yes." She blows on her tea then takes a sip.
"That day, the day I left, when I turned on the tv and saw the tabloids it was as if my heart stopped, I was already on edge so when I saw pictures of you heading into the same hotel she was in, plus the lipstick stain on the shirt you wore the night you were with her well .. I guess I just panicked and-"
"And you ran." She's gripping onto the mug so tightly that her knuckles are turning white.
"I didn't know what to do. I just knew that if I asked you and heard what you had to say that I'd believe you, but I also knew that the feeling I get when I hear you say her name would never just disappear over a single explanation. I admit that I was wrong, I shouldn't have run away or believed what those reporters were saying. But to be fair what did you expect when you stay out all night, phone off and unreachable, telling me that you were working late only to find out through the tabloids that you were with another woman. A woman your father had arranged for you to marry, from birth." She says aggressively. Are you kidding me right now?
"I expected you to trust me." I look at her. "I expected you to have faith in the words I repeatedly whisper to you everyday, that I love you and that I would never hurt you but always protect you. That's what I expected from the woman I love." Her eyes water and for some reason it pisses me off. "Do you report to me every time you go out and meet Kim or any of your other friends?" Her head whips in my direction.
"Now that is not fair."
"No what's not fair is being abandoned by you Aurora! Over and over again. Do you understand that I don't trust you to stay anymore? That more than anything I'm expecting you to walk out that door and disappear all over again?" She looks at me shocked.
"Cy." She whispers in disbelief. That face, I hate that she's giving me that face, as if I've just really hurt her or caused her great pain. I look down, running my fingers through my hair. What do I do? I don't want to hurt her with my words but I want to be honest about how I feel, about what she did to me every time she left. Feeling her hand gently hold on to my arm, when I look down I meet her teary eyes looking up at me as she kneels beside me.
"I will never leave again."
"Aurora-"
"Listen to me!" She says desperately. Aurora. "I will never leave you again, I will never run away from you or anything else ever again. You were right, I think I unintentionally took advantage of the fact that you have always chased after me, no matter what but that all changed when for once, you actually walked out on me. When you told me you were done in Paris I think I felt my heart stop beating for the first time since you left years ago. I felt like a child who had just had her favourite teddy ripped from her arms and I hated it. All I wanted to do was scream from the top of my lungs because of the emotional heartache I was feeling." She looks up at me, tears running down her cheeks. "I know now, Cy you are my life, I love you and I don't want to live without you because living without you wouldn't be living so please, come back to me." It's as if everything is in slow motion as my hands move on their own, pulling on her arm I wrap my arms around her, holding on for dear life.
"I'm going to hold on to you as tightly as I can."
"Don't ever let go." She whispers.
"I won't."
"I won't too." We stay in each other's arms for a long time till she slowly leans back only to lean in again, planting a soft kiss on my lips. This kiss feels different from every other kiss we've shared, it feels like a silent promise. To never leave each other ever again. Ahh, I had forgotten just how at home she makes me feel, being in her presence again, in her embrace, makes me remember just how much peace she gives me. I think this is what drew me to her when we were younger in the first place. Growing up my house always felt cold and empty but when I was with Aurora, I was always surrounded by warmth, by love. I laughed so easily with her, something I never did with anyone else, that sometimes it would scare me.
"Ready to come home?" I ask and I feel her body slightly stiffen as she sits on my lap, laying her head on my shoulder.
"Can I really?" She asks in disbelief and I nod, smiling against her soft hair.
"Yes."
"I'd love to."
"Welcome home αγάπη μου." She softly gasps, looking up at me with the biggest smile on her face.
"You haven't called me that in a long time." I chuckle.
"I thought you didn't like that name." She pouts.
"Not true, it just frustrated me that I didn't know what it meant and you always never wanted to tell me."
"I did say that I'd tell you one day didn't I?" She nods eagerly. "Well I guess I finally can."
