Stay With Me

28

I'm thinking of an ending and I'm pretty sure I know how I'm going to end it 😌 it's going to be good ngl

Alexei wipes his bloody hands with a white cloth. The beaten man lay on the floor. His face was blue and black with bruises splattered across his face. Alexei tsk when Boris holds the duffel bag full of cash.

"Fucking thieves." Alexei scowl. "Fucking Americans." Alexei rolls his eyes as he walks back to the man.

As the man begins to wheeze and whimper Alexei's face hardens. "Cut that shit out. Be a fucking man." Alexei tells him in his thick Russian accent.

The man doesn't say anything. He only lay there in pain. Alexei turns his head to the side and tsk. His eyes stare at the man before looking up at Boris.

"Head or hands?" He asks Boris in Russian.

Boris shrugs his shoulders. "Hands," Boris speaks in his native language.

Alexei holds out his hand. A man comes and places a large butcher knife carefully on his palm. Alexei takes it and grabs it, he carefully places the tip of his index finger on the sharp edge of the knife.

"Send the money to the Walsh, I need to talk to Keegan anyways about a certain person's whereabouts,"  Alexei tells Boris.

Boris nods before walking away. Alexei's eyes snap down to the man before he smirks at him. The blood on his shirt and his slightly messy hair made him look just a bit insane.

"Don't move too much."

Alexei pours the wine into his glass before sighing loudly. Taking a sip he grabs the bottle with his other hand and walks down the stairs. Walking into his room, he closes the door using his foot. He walks towards the bathroom where Mercedes were.

Sitting in the lavish bathtub that was covered with bubbles. Walking inside he places the glass and the bottle on the bathroom sink counters. Her eyes look up at him while he looks at himself in the mirror. He grips the sink counter before taking in a deep breath. Many things were going through his head.

"What's wrong?" Mercedes asks him.

His eyes snap at hers. They hang low and dark. It sends a chilling shiver down her spine as he looks at her with a hardened stare. His hands move off the counter before turning around. His eyes don't stray from her.

"Alexei? You're scaring-"

"Can I join you?" He cut her off.

Mercedes bites her bottom lip. Alexei doesn't hesitate as he unbuttons his black dress shirt. One by one he removes his clothes until he's fully naked. He walks towards the bathtub before climbing in. Slowly he sits down, the hot water soothes his body.

The bubbles cover the water and parts of Mercedes' upper body. She clears her throat as she sits up. Alexei leans back until his head is thrown back and his eyes closed.

"Did something bad happen today?" Mercedes asks him.

Alexei's eyes open hearing Mercedes' voice. He looks up at the ceiling, and his lips part before he speaks.

"I killed someone today." He tells her. He drops his head down to see Mercedes. "And I don't regret it. Do you want to be with someone like that dekta? Why are you pretending to be okay with it?" He questions her.

Mercedes let out a deep breath as her body goes stiff.

"I-I never said I'm okay with it-"

"Being with me implies it. Are you bothered by it? Does it scares you?"

"Of course it does. It's horrible to do those things-"

"But you're still here." Alexei states.

Mercedes shakes her head before letting out a shaky breath. "Where is this conversation going Alexei?" She asks him.

"I just want to know, why are you here with me?"

"Because I love you. A-and I know that you will keep me safe and wouldn't hurt me. You love me." She tells him. "I'm not okay with your lifestyle and it's probably dumb that I'm still with you but I can't help it. It physically hurts having you away from me-"

Alexei waits no time before going to her. Water splashes out of the tub but neither of them notices. Alexei cuffs her neck before placing his lips on hers. Their lips moved in sync as Alexei gripped the edge of the bathtub.

"You can't leave me." He says in the kiss just before he pulls away just a bit. "I need you here with me. You're the only one I need, you're the only one for me. I'm a monster, despicable, and vile. But I promise, I won't ever let you see that side of me. Ever." He tells hers.

"Alexei-"

"Shh, dekta, let me make love to you tonight. Let me show you the soft and gentle side of me." He says before leaving a tender peck on her lips. "Let me be vulnerable tonight and show you how a sinful man like me can be worthy of your love." He whispers against her lips.
