Unrequited? A Lie Told-A Promise Broken

8.-Fiat & Art-

A/N: Play song when you see the roses.

-Fiat-

He stares at me for too long. Just blinking.

"Can I get you anything?" I ask

He blinks.
"When can I leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"And then what?"

"Then I'll give you sometime."

"Until?"

"Until I miss you too much again."

"Then...you will kidnap me again?"

I nod.

"Until, what your child is born? Your wedding?"

"There is no end date to me owning you."

He blinks at me.
"You're fucking deranged."

"Maybe, but I'm your problem. I will never allow you to break the promises we made."

He glares at me. "You already have."

My heart aches, "Art, let me kiss you."

"Can I leave if I do?"

"There is no scenario in which I allow you to leave me. But please let me kiss you."

"Please don't."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to kiss you. Kiss Mint."

Suddenly there is a knock at the door and he visibly flinches.

"Come in." I call.

"Can you help me? I have stuff in my hands." Mint says through the door.

-Art-

Fiat walks over and opens the door, and Mint steps in carrying a serving tray.

She smiles warmly at me.

"I bought drinks and snacks for you both."

Fiat rushes to take the carrying tray from her hands.

"Don't be silly, I can do it. Where shall I put it?"

"On the bed is fine." Fiat says.

It seems for a moment he is going to guide her but looks from me to the door and decides to wait by it.

Yeah motherfucker I was sure as hell about to run.

Fuck.

Mint places the tray on the bed and turns to me.

She smiles, "I didn't know what you like to drink or eat. I brought a few things. It's really yummy. But it's only a pre dinner snack. Dinner will be more yummy."

I blink at her.

"I really wanted to apologize to you." She says with furrowed brows.

"Apologize?"

"For the day in the office, when we met. I didn't know it was you."

"Me?"

"Fiats person."

I blink at her. "Person?"
