The Last December

Chapter 17

She's my blue
Ali
I can feel how sad Adeline feels after coming back. She hides her emotions but i know she's suffering deep inside her heart. The pain of losing everyone around her is immense. I know how it feels, i have been through it all my life. I lost my friends. I lost her. I lost my mother. So i can relate.
I sleep on my bed and stair at the ceiling. I want to get close to her, to be with her but how. How do i get to talk to her peacefully like we used to.
She went inside her room and i came inside mine. I have restrained her from going anywhere without my permission because I can't take the risk of her getting caught, though i know NYC is too big for people to meet bychance but i still can't risk it. I can't let that motherfucker alex to become a part of her life again.
An Idea pops up in my brain. As i jump from my bed, take some chips and drinks from refrigerator. And then without even changing my clothes, i run towards Adeline's room. I knock at her door but she doesn't open, i knock again and yet she doesn't open so i use my spare keys to open her room. As i enter inside i see her, still in the same clothes lying on the bed, her blue hair falls all over her face, her face is still in makeup and her beautiful eyes have been shut. She's sleeping so peacefully. I sit on the couch that's in front of her bed, and i watch her sleeping peacefully.
An hour passes and i keep staring and that's when she moves a little, her little eyes open and she sees me, then her gaze widened and she flips off the bed, i laugh as i watch the view.
"What the hell are you doin in my room you creep"? She asks, while fixing her hair and clothes. The white dress moulds beautifully around her body. The pearls in her neck are the ones i gave her a month ago and I admire the fact she is wearing it. Her makeup is still fixed.
"Hello answer me" she says again. I get up from the couch and walk towards her, she takes a step back and i still move forward. "I was getting bore so i thought we could play some game" i say moving closer to her as she takes a step back each time i move forward. And then there's only a few inch away from the window where the entire New York can be seen. Her back presses against the glass and i stand right in front of her, she keeps breathing fast and i'm more than calm.
She looks up to me, her black eyes with the contrast of blue hair shines brighter than a moon. Then i hold her chin with my forefinger and thumb. "Say something blue, tell me have you been crying" i see a little creasing under her eyes which confirms she's been crying.
"Ah no why would i?" She hesitates before saying it. And then she slaps on my hands. "Move your fingers away" she's still breathing. I feel so lucky to breathe the same air as her. She's my blue. She's my every breathe i take.
"Fine then. Come on lets play truth or dare" i say.
"Well i'm not interested" she says.
"Then be interested." I command.
She raises her eyebrows as though she wants to confirm something but then she does something unexpected "fine lets play" she listens to me. She doesn't listen to me that easily, but this time she agrees.
"But there's a twist you know" i say.
"What?" She asks.
"You have to remove one piece of clothing everytime you don't answer or complete a dare" i smirk and wink at her.
"Yo im not playing your stupid game" she pushes me behind and walks towards the dresser.
"Come on Blue, be up for the challenge. You are being coward" there it is. I said the word coward she hates the most and now i know she will.
"Well fuck you! Ali, i'm not a coward" she mentions.
"Then show me" i smirk.
"Okay fine. Lets start" she says as she takes a seat on the couch and i sit next to her.
"You get to ask first" i say. She nods and then she asks.
"Why are you always so bossy" she asks. Well simple.
"Because i'm the boss" i take a sip of my soda.
"Hahaha very funny. fine truth" she says.
Hmm Interesting.
"Do you still love him" i ask and her face changes. Its alot of anger she shows.
She hates the fact i something so personal. Even though i know the answer but i still want her to say it.
"I dont want to answer" she says not facing me.
"Fine remove one piece" she moves her hand towards her pearls and remove the necklace.
She tosses it on the table.
"Fine your turn" she says.
"Dare" i say.
"Call your dad and tell him you want to end this marriage" she says.
I know this was going to come. Without any answer i remove my coat.
And she knows my answer.
"Aww poor daddy's little boy." She taunts.
As im about to her answer her back, her phone rings.
"Wait let me seee" she says and she gets up from the couch and take the phone from her side table.
"Its dad" i nod, as she goes in the bathroom for talking to her dad.
She comes back from the bathroom after a while, "dad's not well, i guess i'll have to fly back." She says. I see the creasing on her forehead which shows she's stressed.
"You want to leave now?" I ask.
"Well tomorrow not now. I'm tired. Can we stop this and go to sleep?" She asks.
"Can i sleep here with you?" I ask. I don't know how i got the guts to ask this but i say it.
"Okay" she says and the she takes her nightsuit and leave to change.
She comes back and im already settled in the bed. She comes sleeps next to me. I watch her as she sleeps next to me.
"Goodnight blue"
"Goodnight Ali"
And the she goes to sleep.
