Recap
"I'd like to take you to a carnival tomorrow. Please...let me..."
Silence.
"We could go get ice cream after...and maybe some hot wings. I know a nice place."
Silence.
Diomedes heaved in frustration.
"...I'm sorry pchelka. I wanted to come last night, but...I didn't know how to face you. I didn't want us to fight again..."
"...You could've at least let me know..."
Diomedes wiped his face.
"...You're right pchelka. I'm sorry for having kept you waiting so long. I love you Mabel."
It went quiet for a while.
"...I'll join you tomorrow...if you promise to let me see Gia again."
Diomedes knew that this question would pop up at some time. He dreaded it.
"Yes. I promise."
"Okay..."
"I truly love you pchelka. Even if you do not feel the same."
"...I wish you would've taken the normal route...meet me, ask me out, date me. Maybe I would've likes you. But you..."
"It's okay Mabel. I do not understand myself either."
He heard her sigh.
"Sleep well pchelka. Do not carry too many burdens in your heart tonight. I will make sure that you enjoy tomorrow."
"...Goodnight Diomedes."
Diomedes stepped back from her door. He needed to go back to his room to start planning.
Tomorrow will be beautiful.
