I wake up from my nap and see Alexander reading in the chair next to the crib. Almost instinctively he looks up from his book at me. I rub my eye tiredly and yawn.
"Hello, beautiful. Did you have a nice nap?" he says marking his page and setting it aside.
I nod my head too tired to talk. I make grabby hands for him. Alexander comes over and picks me up smiling.
"Come on baby let me see those pretty blue eyes," he says bouncing me on his hip
I reluctantly look up at him. He smiles and kisses my forehead. We walk into the living room again. He sets me in one of the cozy chairs by the wall of books. Alexander takes his place at the piano. Something else that might surprise you about Alexander is that he is an excellent musician. His parents made him learn the piano but he soon fell in love with it. At least that's what he told me.
He starts playing a soft tune on the piano it was like a little lullaby. The tune he played got more strained and intense like a fiery longing for love. The song lashed out in anger and became more vengeful. I can feel his sadness and anger through the notes he played. It took a tun and cooled into a sorrowful song full of regret.
He finishes the tragic song and is almost brought to tears. I walk over to the piano bench and sit next to him. I wipe the tears from out of his eyes and give him a big hug. We stay still like that for a few minutes while Alexander regains some composure.
"Im so sorry Elvira," he says into my hair.
"For what?" I asked pushing him away from me so could look him in the eye.
"For everything, I did to you the past four years," he says.
I have never seen Alexander so open, so... vulnerable. I caress his cheek and wipe away a few tears that had strayed from his eyes.
"Its ok Zander, I forgive you," I say simply.
He stares at me like a child that had just gotten a puppy for Christmas. He encircles me in a huge hug.
"Evy, do you think that you could ever be happy here with me?" he asks.
I think for a minute. I reflect on everything I had gone through for the past five years. The crash, my dad, my suicide attempt, him saving me, him becoming a huge dick. I take it all into consideration.
Could I be happy with him?
"I'm not so sure," I say finally after a few minutes of debating
"Why not?" He asks
He looks like I just slapped him in the face.
"Because it was just like this when we were first together and then you got overly possessive. How do I know that won't happen again?" I ask scooting away from him on the piano bench.
"It won't," he says.
"How do I know that? I can't go through that a second time Alexander!" I say, well more like yell.
"I said It won't!" he yells.
I don't see any anger in his eyes or dominance, not even pain. All I see is fear. The fear of losing something.
"Please Elvira." he clasps my hands in his.
His hold isn't tight but gentle, his words aren't harsh but soft, his eyes aren't angry storms but a lovely dream waiting to come true.
"Please stay with me, I don't think I could go through losing you again," he says using my own words against me.
"Ok," I say quietly.
"Im willing to prove myself I promise." he continues.
"Ok," I say again.
"I promise that you can just tell me when im getting too clingy I will try to give you some space." he continues to rant on.
"I SAID OK!" I shout trying to get him to calm down.
"You did?!" he asks in disbelief.
"Yes, but you are going to have to make good on your promises," I warn.
He engulfs me in a hug and spins me around.
"I love you," he says setting us down on the couch.
I snuggle into him.
"I love you too,"
