Queens of Night

Queens 6: Becoming Bonnie and Clyde

As the indescribable evening continued our ever so elegant ladies are beginning to feel the pangs of love.  Whilst one was dancing the night away with the love of her life.  The other was indulging in sweet and flirtatious conversations with hers.  But unfortunately,  as perfect as this may seem,  a darkness soon rears it ugly head in just to discourage our leading ladies. 

After all had died away,  Eleanor,  Addison,  Grey and Renee found themselves in one of Cristiano's magnificent penthouses.  Grey glared over to his brother. "I think I'll be leaving soon.  Addison you are welcomed to join me.  But I can't keep  this up for much longer. "  Eleanor whom was sitting on Cristiano's lap whispering sweet nothings in his ear,  stood up.  "what can't you keep up anymore, Grey?"  Grey smoldered his anger that was building.  "Eleanor,  listen,  Cristiano and I obviously don't have a great connection.  There's so much you don't know.  And so much you don't need to know.  And we should leave it at that.  But if this thing with you and Cristiano is to take off then I am sorry,  but tonight will be the last night you see Tyler Grey Kingsley.  Addison,  my dear.  You have a choice to make.  Let me take you away.  Away From the pain staying here will cause you.  Eleanor you have a choice as well. " Renee stood in the kitchen,  pouring glasses of wine from Cristiano's personal villa in Italy. " honestly you have a choice too Tyler.  One not so easily made by running away.  You keep running away from your problems but when will you realize that they will always be there when you get back?"  Renee posed a great question. 

One that made Grey stop and think for a moment.  "Unfortunately,  dear sister,  my problems will always be here,  but I won't have to face them if I never come back."  Eleanor stepped closer to Grey   "Addison won't be going with you.  She has a business,  and a home.  And friends who love her.  Why would you even try to take her?"  Eleanor asked.  Grey gave a chuckle   "let her decide little Peach.  She is a big girl  and knows what and who she wants."  he said grabbing Addison by the hands.  "darling,  I can show you the world and then some.  You would make a beautiful queen to my empire.  I need a bonnie for my Clyde.  And you have proven yourself more than worthy.  When I see you my heart jumps.  When I can't I am angry.  You make me want to become a better man  for my business and for you.  Will you join me in escaping this dreaded place.  And go all over the world?  Be my queen? " he asked her looking deep into  her eyes.

Addison, who was sitting on the couch, watched as everything in folded before her. Cristiano clears his throat. "So what is it that's exactly so bad about Eleanor being with me? I'm rich, handsome and can give her anything and everything. If she wants it she will have it." Cristiano says taking a sip of his wine. Addison stands up. "You can not give her something money can not buy. You can not give her something she already has." She says but she was soon cut off with a decision at hand. Listing to what Eleanor had said she smiles sweetly. "Let me ask you something Eleanor. Why is it you instantly decide for me what I should or shouldn't do?" Her eyebrows furrowed her her voice becomes dangerous "Do you think I am stupid? I worked hard to have what I have. There is also something I want and if I have to I'll work ever harder and make sure I have all of it together." Suddenly being grabbed by the hand her head quickly shots to Grey. Addison close her eyes listening to his words and opens them slowly when he says he wanted to be a better man. "Then be my King, become the man you where always meant to be. Become the man you have always been,  even if he's lost sight of where he's supposed to be. I'll be the Bonnie to your Clyde if you promise me this Tyler." She says to him, gazing deep within his eyes. When he nods and grabs her by the waist and walks away she turns to Eleanor. "Until we meet again,  my beloved Eleanor." With that she's gone,  far out of their reach.

Eleanor fumed and fell to her knees.  "17 years of friendship thrown away because of some sweet words a drug dealer told her. "  she sobbed into her hands.  Her dress started to see its first tears.  She stood up and walked over to Cristiano.  "I have half a mind to scream at the top of my lungs that she just ruined the best relationship she will ever have.  But the other half just wants to cry into your chest and forget about her.  But I know I can't.  Everyday,  everything I see,  will remind me of her.  No matter where I go.  Or what I do.  " she said holding onto his shirt. She clenched it in her fists and looked him deep into his bright brown eyes. " I don't want everything from you.  Just being with you.  Here and now is all I could ever need.  When everyone is gone I look....and here you  are."  Eleanor let go of his shirt and pulled his head closer to hers as she planted a delicate kiss on Cristiano's lips.  Although small it was,  sweet and filled with her feelings.
