My Devious Soul

Acceptance

Elijah's POV:
I finally arrived home,because I was tired from what I witnessed.

As I entered the apartment,my phone rang,I took it out,it was Bruno.

"You can go to sleep,I have to take this one."I announced Yana with a smile.She smiled back and left a kiss on my lips before walking in the bedroom while I went straight into my study.

"Yeah?"I said when I called him back."All the information of Emiru Takahashi from the background check are related to your past,sir."Bruno informed which drove me insane.

I hung up without saying anything else and grabbed after the glass vase which was on my desk with some white roses in it and aggressively threw it against a wall breaking it into hundreds of small glass pieces.

A pond of water was on the floor and around it laid the roses which were surrounded by the glass pieces.

I started breathing heavily and threw my head behind and my hands on my hips.

"Elijah,are you alright?"Yana asked me suddenly when I remarked her looking worried in the doorframe dressed in pajamas and barefooted.

"Don't come in...shreds are on the floor."I warned and also trying to signalizing that I wanted to be alone,but that didn't stop her.

She avoided the shreds trying to come to me.

I sat down on one of the sofa chairs in the middle of the room with my face in my palms while she sat down next to me.

"Hey,hey,it's alright...I know it's hard for you."She claimed while rubbing my back with her hand.

"We don't have to go back to her for the time being."Yana mentioned trying to make me feel better,but it didn't work.

"That's not the problem."I mumbled not looking at her.

Silence stroke.

"It's just-"I sighed and tried to speak after I raised my head and stared at Yana."It's just what?Elijah talk to me!"Yana maintained with a smile trying to encourage me to open myself to her.

"It's just...I want to tell her,but I'm just afraid."I admitted giving her an unsure look."Elijah,you can always tell her that you're her son,because you have all the right to."Yana responded assuring and giving me a smile."She doesn't have a reason to not accept you."She added giving me more courage.

I chuckled under my breath and said"Come here."Yana stood up from on one the couches and sat down on my laps.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and placed her head on my left shoulder.

"I love you!"I whispered,she giggled"I love you,too!"

Silence stroke in the room for a few more moments.

"Will you come with me...when I'll tell her?"I wanted to know."Of course!"She responded without a hesitation,"Just give yourself some time."She added trying to show that there is no hurry.

We stayed like that for a few more minutes until I remarked that Yana was sleeping peacefully on me.

I carefully stood up not wanting to wake her up and walked with her in my arms until we reached the bed where I laid her down gently,covered her with the blanket and left a kiss on her lips before leaving.

I walked down stairs at the bar and poured myself a glass of whiskey with two ice cubes.

I walked back upstairs and put next to the glass a pack of Kent that I took out of my study drawer.

I lit one and smoke it slowly while I was trying to rest my mind and soul music was playing in a pleasant volume.
