Deceived Me

Chapter 24:

Soon, Alice drifted to sleep. Stella stared at her with love for a long time. She couldn't sleep as her routine was disturbed and she slept a lot in the morning already. So after a while, she got up from the bed. She went to her desk and took out her diary from the drawer. This was the same diary Alice thought about. The only difference was there was no name or title on the cover. She doesn't even know much about Portuguese language in this life.

Stella took the diary and a pen. Then she went out to the balcony of the room. She sat down and started writing.

" Today yet again, I write your name in this diary.

You are the person this diary exists for.

Every word of this diary talks about you.

This diary never lost you even when I did.

We were near yet so far apart
This heart is helpless, how do I get it to understand

It wasn't some kind of a despair
It wasn't some kind of conspiracy
In your love my beloved
I was never unfaithful to you

I don't just have the addiction of sharing every small events that happen to me
I have the desperate need to share my whole life with you.

It's not for fun that I stay with you
I need you desperately
My heart yearns for you passionately.
You are not just important but crucial for me

A single moment without you in this world
Is not acceptable to me

This are not some poets words
These are the words of my heart
I want to win your heart and not just get it
But I didn't have the right before

Make me yours and be mine
Break my heart but keep it with you
I can't hear someone else swear by your name
But for your sake, I'll bring down the world

Your a very big part of my life
My life starts with you and ends with you
So please, never again make me a stranger in your eyes
Cause you mean everything, everything to me... "

After writing the diary, Stella went back to bed. It took her a while but she finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Alice woke up first. When she realised she was in someones arms, she was stunned. But then she recognised the hands and a beautiful morning smile swept up her sleepy face.

She turned around in her arms to face her. Seeing Stella's sleeping face, she felt a little emotional. She had dreamed of this moment for two lifetimes. In last life, they did get to be together for quite some time but then what followed up was too heartbreaking.

In this life, ever since she was reborn, there wasn't a day when she didn't dream of waking up in the arns of her beloved. She tried her best to not think about Stella so that it could hurt less but her mind subconsciously only think about her.

Alice moved and gave her a peck on the cheek. Then she smiled and got up. She took a bath. It was only 5:30 in the morning and Stella usually won't up after that. She was still sleeping soundly. Alice approached her and sat down on the bed. She didn't get very close as her hair were still quite wet. She didn't use a hair dryer as it would make noise.

She gazed at her lovingly and help up her hand. Her eyes were emotional filled with love and the long lasting pain of their past life.

She kissed the back of Stella's hand and got up. Just as she stood up, her hand was held. She looked back in surprise and smiled when she saw Stella opening her eyes.

" Why are you sneaking up on me?" Stella smiled foolishly with her eyes still not fully open. Her voice was also a little hoarse.

" Did I wake you up?" Alice didn't want to disturb her sleep.

" No. I usualy wake up at this time. Your presence just make the casual moment of waking up a precious moment." Stella looked at her with love. Alice blushed and took her hand back.

" You just woke up and started teasing me." Then she proceeded to leave but Stella held her back again.
