    "Do you think I should tell him? " Carol questioned, her eyes downcast as she sat on a stool while Orea washed up her backing equipments, " I am scared, what if he doesn't want me after I tell him. I love him, Orea." Carol bit her lips, " I know I have only known him for two months but I love him, he has been nothing but kind and loving to me since the moment we met."

" Then tell him," Orea reasoned, placing the rinsed equipments in their places, "If you love him so much, if you trust him so much then you have to tell Jim, let him know about it." Orea paused, " What happened then wasn't your fault, let him know that too and. If he likes you even the slightest, he will not blame or resent you,"

Carol, shook her head, " I don't know, I just... How can I tell the man I love that I killed someone? Everyone that knows hate me, they blame me for it, they even go as far as calling me a murder and a curse, I dont-" Tears filled her eyes. " I don't want him to do the same to me, I want to keep it a secret but it's hard to do that since he's been nothing but nice to me,"

" listen, what happened wasn't your fault, you were only trying to protect yourself. I would have done the same if I were in your shoes, just trying to tell him in a way that he would understand," Orea sqeeezed Carol's hand, " I am here for you Carol and I don't blame you. You were only protecting yourself, he killed your child Carol. He killed a child. I would have done worse if I were you,"

Carol relaxed, " Thanks Orea, thank you"

" Anytime, now stop lazing around and get to work, what about the posters you put out, had anyone applied yet?" Carol nodded.

" He wants to work here, he is new to town and he wants a job so he offered to work here, he is a sweet tooth too, if you know what I am saying," Orea chuckled.

"Well, tell him to come for the interview, boyfriend or not, he has to qualified for it," Carol nodded.

"So... How is it going between you and Ceaser?"

" He asked me out, we are dating now," Orea replied, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible while cleaning the oven. After that day, Ceaser had been nothing but nice to her, he asked her out that evening and she said yes which led them to another passionate hour of love making. It had been two weeks since then and Orea loved every part of their relationship.

"I knew you guys were getting together," Carol smiled. Orea didn't comment as she got back to work, by nighttime they closed up Alea's Sweetness. Orea waited outside as she waited for Ceaser, her face adorned with a smile. His protectiveness had not reduced a bit since they started dating instead he had the opportunity to make it more visible.

" Where is he?" She questioned, looking around in anticipation. " Hm, did something happen?" Her hand found her phone and she dialed his number yet he wouldn't pick it, she dialed Gomez number but it went straight to voicemail. An hour went by yet he wasn't there to pick her up. Orea decided to walk home instead. Thinking he was busy. He had been busy the past two days as they had a new lead on the serial killer and he also had another case he was working on so...

When she arrived home, she went for a shower then she headed to his room and put on one of his shirt then she sat on the couch thinking of waiting for him. Ceaser didn't return that night, or the next. When he did return the third night, he didn't look good. " Ceaser! Oh my God, what happened to you?" She questioned, running over ti him.

His hair was dishhealved, he had bags beneath his eyes and he was still in the cloth he wore three days ago, instead of giving her a reply, he headed straight for his room, " Ceaser?" He didn't even spare her a glance, Orea had no idea what to do so she headed to the refrigerator to help him get water, he sat on his bad with his gaze distant, " Here, you should drink some water," Orea stated, handing the water to him while she sat beside him.

He didn't make a move to take it so she held his hand and placed the water on it, " Do you want to talk about it?" She questioned yet received no reply, " Would you like dinner then?"

"I want to be alone," He told her, Orea nodded and headed out of the room, her mind shaken as she thought on what could have had him turn into this. The next morning, she knocked on his door to invite him for breakfast yet he was no where to be seen. Orea couldn't help but play with her ring. He didn't pick it up his call when she called him either.

Orea decided to stay home, night fell and Orea was half asleep on the couch when Ceaser staggered in as he threw the door open, Orea screamed with wild eye as she looked towards the door, "You are back," She smiled. "Um, I made dinner," she added, smiling at him who refused to speak with her, he staggered away from the door and headed to the room. Orea quickly locked the door before following him to his room. " Ceaser, are you okay?"

" Let me be," he grunted. Orea had no idea what to do.

" I know you want to be alone, but I can help If you want,"

"You can't help me, " his words stung yet Orea refused to back down, she touched him and pulled him in for a hug.

" just tell me what's wrong... Please," Ceaser pushed her away, " Stay the fuck away from me woman, I don't have the time for your bullshit," He commanded.

The impact of the push was to harsh, Orea landed on the floor on her ass, " I am just trying to help," She reasoned.

" I don't need your help, stay away! "

"Bu-"

" I don't need you and I don't want to see you around me either, " He grabbed her arm and dragged her to him, " Got it?" He questioned, glaring at her.

"Why? I just want to help you,"

" I won't repeat myself, don't fucking make me do something I will regret," he warned, with that said, he released her hand and she staggered back, then he went ti his room, leaving Orea with an aching but, a bruised arm and a torn heart. She closed her eyes to calm herself, then she headed to her room, no tears escaped her eyes as stared at the celling till dawn.

The next morning, she packed a few of her clothes and left the house.
