TAL & ADI FISHMAN, MY BULLIES

18.

'Tal I...I don't know' I then say. 'I need to think about it' I take my arms off his neck and start walking in the room. I always walk when I need to think about something, it is like what people do when they are talking with someone through the phone. Weird? I know.

'Just...you would make me so happy Melissa, I need you with me. My brother will ruin my life as he said...And ruining my life means ruining you. You are my life, my heart, my love, and one day hopefully my wife'. I look at him, repeating those last words in my head.

One day my wife. I don't know what to say to that.

'Tal...I...Okey, let's run away together. But that means we will run away from our problems, and I don't want that. So I will talk to Adi about us, and I won't stop talking to him untill he accepts it. He needs to accept it. He will accept it' I see he is struggeling with the idea of me talking to Adi all by myself, but when he looked in my eyes again and saw that I wasn't asking, that I am GOING to do it, he said, almost whispering, 'ok'.

I breath out, not even noticing I was holding my breath all this time.

'What about my parents though...' He tenses when I say the word "parents". It has been weeks or more that his parents were burried, and I can still see the pain in his eyes, something he is going to have for a long long time.

'I don't know, don't care. I want you with me, and I know you want that too Melissa' When he says my name my heart skips a beat. I am so in love with him, that I forgot about the pain he gave me. It is all forgiven...only not by Adi, yet...
