The Alpha's Twins

I See You

"What the hell, Eclipse." I'm not looking at her, my eyes are still locked to Alec's own.

"I'm sorry, Val. He was here the entire time. Gideon and I agreed to let him stay here until you came to forgive me."

"You both are sick, traitorous bastards." I spit, tightening my grip on the handbag and walking towards the door. I forgave her and then she makes me see the one person I wanted to forget, the one person that has brought me nothing but pain and despair.

"Vally," Eclipse reaches for me and I move away from her. I really thought that I could give her a second chance and that we can be friends but she let Alec stay here in hopes that I was going to come.

"I'm done. Bye." I swing open the door and slam it behind me walking as fast as I can to Danaya's apartment. The pain in my back growing each time my foot stomped the hard concrete floor. The twins were excited, moving all around because they felt their father and just like me they wanted to be with him.

Once I turn the corner, I'm relieved thinking that they didn't come after me and I was going to make a clean, simple getaway.

"Valentina, wait." Alec's voice comes from behind me. I guess not. I don't stop though.

"I said wait." The next thing I know he's standing in front of me.

"I don't care what you say, Alec. Get out of my way, I want to go." I step to the left and then to the right but he continues to block my path. I didn't know what to do or say and my heart was beating a too fast and my breath wasn't catching up. I hated how my body reacted to him and I wish that I could control it so I wouldn't look so affected by him. I want to be heartless and hate his guts for what he's done to me, but I loved him and that wasn't going to happen any time soon.

"What do you want from me? Hm? Do you want to tell me you don't love me again? Or should I remind you of what you said three months ago. I want absolutely nothing to do with you so get away from me. I-I.." After this long dialogue, I wanted to finish with I hate you, but I couldn't say it because he'd know I was lying.

"I want you." He mumbles.

"What?" I part laugh part choke.

"I want you, okay? I lied when I said I didn't love you because I'm scared. Loving you means that you can take advantage of me or someone else would hurt you to get to me. I thought that loving you meant taking away your freedom. I thought that I was lying to protect you, but in truth I was lying to protect me because my mother was right about one thing, I did get my heart broken by someone before."

I take a deep breathe taking everything in. My heart was bursting for joy and I finally got to see our fairy tale clearly, now. It's bright and amazing and the feelings I was so afraid to feel before are now more open than ever.

"You broke me in more ways than one and I just don't understand why you felt the need to lie to me. I'm not some backstreet whore who can't fend for herself. I'm not afraid of anyone or anything. Not with you because I believe anything is possible with you. I guess the question I'm trying to ask is.. why did you feel the need to lie?"

"Because since you've been gone I missed your presence. The world is too quiet without you nearby. My world is too lonely without you with me."

"Oh yeah? What'd you miss about me?" I ask him, walking towards him until the tip of my flip flops touched the tips of his black boots.

"The way you twist your hands when you're confused. When you cry every time you're overwhelmed. The way your heart beats every time you're near me. The way your eyes lighten when you're happy and your tongue gets dry when you're scared. No matter how hard I tried, I ended up missing you anyway. There wasn't a second that went by where I don't, at some point, think about you and what you were up to and if you were sad. I thought about you every waking moment and every time I slept, there wasn't ever a dream that didn't have you in it." Alec takes a deep breathe, his cheeks are flushed and I knew that this was the moment where he was going to be the most vulnerable with me and it was never going to happen again.
