BLSC #15 : The Dark Romance

Chapter 20 - His Promise

Crystal Lemiere

"Crystal.. Wake up.. Crystal.. It's almost sunrise." I opened my eyes slowly and turned to Lucas.

"It's 10 minutes before the sunrise, wake up." He said and I nodded. I sat up on the sofa and turned my eyes to the table. He ate the soup already and I found myself happy about it.

"Let's go.. You still have time to go to the toilet and wash your face." He said as he pulled me up. I nodded lightly and walked to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I walked out and found Lucas already waiting for me. He smiled at me and put out his hand in front of me. I took it and we walked out together.

It's still dark and we just stood there waiting. Slowly the sun rised up and it's up in the sky. I smiled looking at the view. I turned to the side to see Lucas' not there. I turned my body to see him standing behind me taking pictures with his phone.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Capturing the moment." He said as he looked at the pictures. I walked to him and looked at the shot. I smiled to see the pictures.

"I always wanted to be a photographer. I love taking photos so we can look back one day and remember again the moments that we shot." He said as he showed me the shots that he captured. I admitted that he's good. There's a lot of photos in his phone especially about nature.

"You're good. You should quit being a mafia and do this.." I said looking at him and he smiled.

"I wish.."

"Everyone has a choice, Lucas."

"I don't have a choice. If I decided to quit, my family's life is on the line." He shook his head and took his phone from my hand. He gave it back to me and showed a photo of his family.

"If you want to be with them, fight for it." I said.

"Easy for you to say.. I bet Kristopher will beat me for keeping you and do nothing. That's why he will pull me back to Rusia after this." He said and I gave him back his phone. I crossed my arms in front of my chest and looked up to the sun.

"Then why do you keep me here when you know you will get in trouble? Not only with my dad but with Kristopher.. are you insane?" I asked.

"I like you as simple as that. I never interested in someone because I'm busy killing people. Besides.. who wants to be with a mafia? No one. So I just kidnapped you because I want to know how it feels to have someone.. to like someone.. to fight for someone.. to feel love.. I just want to know. That's why I only have 4 days because after this everything will get back to place." He answered and I turned to him.

"So you don't care about my feelings?" I asked and I don't know why I ask that. He laughed hearing my question.

"What feelings? You like me? You don't, Crystal. So why should I care about your feelings?" He answered.

"You're right. Well.. I guess next time I'll see you in your funeral."

"Funeral? There will be no funeral for me. My body will be burn or ended up being eaten by piranhas." He laughed like it's something funny.

"Are you seriously want to die?" I turned to him disbelief.

"I was joking, geez."

"I don't think it was a joke." I looked at him suspiciously.

"I won't die. If I die, my family will die. Don't worry babe.. I will be okay." He smirked and I glared at him coldly.

"Don't babe me, I'm not your babe."

"Can I hug you?" He suddenly asked. I raised my eyebrows looking at him weirdly.

"What's with the asking?"

"So you don't want me to ask?" He asked and I looked at him glaring. I found myself opening my arms and he hugged me right away. He hugged me so tightly that I can feel his warmness spread through my body.

"Find a good man after this.. you deserve one." He said as he caressed my head. I gulped hearing that and felt my breath got hitch.

"Of course, you idiot." I said and he chuckled.

"Tell you dad, that I'm sorry for kidnapping you. I swear it will never happen again." He said and I felt my body turn numb. What the hell is happening?

"He won't forgive you." I answered coldly.

"I know." He chuckled.

"Don't tell your family about Nathaniel, I asked him to help me. Tell Joan to forgive him.." Why is he acting like this?

"Maybe she will divorce him. Joan hates people who betrays her."

"Just talk to her.. please." He begged and I sighed. I wrapped my arms around his hips after just patting his back.

"Don't die. I hate you but I hate to see or hear people die." I said and he chuckled.

"I won't die. I told you a few times already." I smacked his back.

"You're an idiot." I hissed and he laughed. I pushed his shoulder and looked into his eyes. I sighed and looked away.

"Thankyou for showing me the sunrise." I said to him and he released the hug. I looked at my hands and felt weird after he released the hug.

"I promise you.. I'm a man with my words." He said and I looked up to him. He smiled to me.

"So you will keep all your promises?" I asked and he nodded.

"Tell me.. all of it." I said and he sighed.

"1. You will go back to your dad in 2 days. 2. I won't comeback into your life again. 3. You're free to date.. I won't kill anyone." He said and I felt my breath got hitch again. I felt my body turn numb hearing him saying that. I don't know why..

"Good. Don't.. don't yo- don't you dare.. don't you dare to kill my future husband." I suttered and looked straight into his eyes. He chuckled and nodded.

"I promise." He said and he put his hand out in front of me. I looked at it completely not wanting to shake it.

"I'm hungry." I said walking away from him.

"Roger that." He answered.
