Truth About Love

chapter 50

We were in the car driving to the plane, I didn't want to say goodbye because it was going to be difficult, so I wrote them notes and then left quite early. I was certain I was going to cry, but I didn't, I think time for crying was over and now it was time to be a independent women and be brave.

We got to the my plane, I wanted to without any press knowing.  I took my baby and boarded the plane. They had set up a nice baby seat for Carlos in the plane, so I put him there so he could finish off his sleep. The pilot walked to me and said " we are ready when you are ma'am."

" Let's go, the sooner we leave, the sooner we get to the island and the sooner I'm gone from America," I said and he nodded, then he went and started the plane and we took off.

I was going to miss America, but it was life and you have to deal with the purpose of life sometimes.

I sat next to Carlos and just looked out the windows and we were going further up and I couldn't see America properly anymore. It was a sad thought, but I ignored it and watched my little baby sleep, he looked a little like Sergio and he was so sweet and calm, giving me no hassle at all.

We got landed on the island, so we boarded off the plane and made our to the car that was waiting for me. I got into the car with Carlos and the driver drove me to my house. Carlos was awake, so I was playing with his fingers and giving him millions of kisses. I never honestly knew that a baby could bring you such happiness, I mean this was the only person who brought me true happiness.

We got to the house and it was very updated and just beautiful; the bags were being brought in so I went to the living room and placed Carlos in his crib, then I walked around and explored the house. The place was very cosy and there were some elements that still reminded me of my mom.

Carlos was crying, so I went to him and picked him up, rocking him a little so he wouldn't cry anymore and that he would settle down. I started to hymn a song for him so he could wouldn't be restless. " Ms Fernández, we are heading off now."

" Thank you so much for everything, have a safe trip back home."

" Will do and thank you." I walked them out holding Carlos in my arms then closed the door and went back to the living room.

I sat down and exhaled deeply, " well Carlos this is our life now my love, but it's going to be fine." I kissed his forehead then played some TV and breastfed Carlos.

1 year later...

Carlos and I were walking on the beach when I saw a boat approaching us and I was shocked because it was like 2 weeks ago that Scott visited, so why was he back so quickly. " Carlos baby come to mommy," I watched as Carlos ran looking so cute, I just couldn't help but smile. He ran into my arms then I picked him up and we waited for who ever was coming.

The boat stopped and then Sergio jumped out of the boat and walked to us, I froze and didn't move at all, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He couldn't be alive there was no survivors and if he was alive then why did he wait so fucking long to tell us no specifically me that he was alive.

He was right in front of me and he said " hi Milano."

" This can't be true, you're supposed to be dead."

" Let's go inside and we will talk about it later," we turned and walked back into the house. I couldn't stop looking at him and I was still trying to figure out why he would let me go through so much pain and suffering for nothing when he was clearly alive and well.

We got into the house then I went to Carlos's room and dropped him there so he could play with his toys while I spoke to Sergio. I walked into the kitchen and then said " explain yourself."

" My plane did crash, but the private one but I decided to say I died on the plane because I felt like I need time to think about everything."

" What could have been so serious for you to think about that you had to fake your death!"

" You and my life with you."

" What about me?"

" My love for you was too strong and I was worried I was going to get obsessed and hurt you physically. I have never loved someone so much before, so it was new and I got scared because when I have a love so strong and it's a new thing, you don't honestly know how to handle it."

" Okay I understand that, but you didn't need to fake your death, I mean do you understand how fucking broken I was Sergio. I couldn't think or breathe, I was finished and the one thing that pisses me off is that you knew that I was going through shit in my life, but you felt that let me add on to her shit and say I'm dead and it hurt Sergio, it hurt. I cried, all I did was cry, It was dreadful."

" I came here because I wanted to sort it out and ask for you back."

" Right now I just need to process this, I don't understand why in the world you did that." I walked away, but then stopped and said " I think you owe our son a father son moment, so you have a year to make up for," then I left and went into the room. I dropped to the ground and cried my heart and eyes.

It was tears of pain, happiness, heartbreak and joy. I was glad he wasn't dead, but I was hurt because of what he did to me and his son. He had a chance to make it up to him, but me I don't know because I may be his forever, but doesn't mean I accept what he did.

I walked out the room and went into Carlos's room. I found Sergio and Carlos sleeping, Carlos was sleeping on top of Sergio and they looked so peaceful, it made my heart warm. I closed the door then went Into the kitchen and started to make dinner, I was going to prepare Mac and cheese with a salad.

I played music and started cooking my food.  The pasta was boiling so right now I was making the cheese sauce. Sergio walked into the kitchen with Carlos and I just smiled. I had a cute little family, but it had problems already. " he is a beautiful child."

" I know when I look at him it reminds me of you, especially the eyes. He has those beautiful eyes of yours."

" Can I stay here with you?" I looked up at him and tears started forming but I kept it in and said " well your son needs you in his life, you have a year of making up to do."

" And what about my beautiful" I turned away, put the pasta on the oven and then I started with the salad, but I first poured Carlos apple juice in his bottle, gave it to him and he started walking around the house and laughing like crazy.

Dinner was over, it was late and Sergio was putting Carlos to bed. I was on my bed in my room doing work on my laptop. I may have left America, but I still did my duties and also worked a lot on my clothing line. Sergio walked in and said "you didn't answer my question."

" Because Sergio it's a stupid question."

"Why is a stupid question?"

" I have always needed you in my life and you know that and I don't care if you didn't need me but I did okay," he walked up to me held my hands and said " I love you like crazy and I will always need you no matter what. Take me back" I held his face then kissed him and said, " yes" then we hugged for what seemed like a long time and it felt so good and amazing to be in his arms again.
