-Alastor... do you remember the fight you had with Box a few decades ago?- I asked and he nodded- do you remember how you ended after that fight?- he looked ashamed, he had lost that fight but nodded again.- well, that time, I found you... you were in a very bad state, you were bleeding and had lost all your strength... I saw you fall on an alley, I ran to you, Box was looking for you so he can kill you... at first, it was just instinct, then I recognize you...- I sigh- If I'm sincere here... I doubted if I should help you... well, at the end I did it... I hid you from Box and cure your wounds... do you remember something about that?

-Sorry darling... I guess I don't- he sighed.

-I expected it... you were unconscious all the time...- I run a hand through my hair- and when you were awake I used that to order your body to regenerate itself, it worked... when I was done and you only needed to rest I contact Husk and he took care of you... of course, I asked him to not tell you anything... that was the first time I used my power on you... 

-I see- He wasn't smiling like always, he was deep in thought- I think... I owe you one... thank you, dear- he said looking at me. I smile proud of myself and crossed my arms.

-Yes, you owe me a big one Al...- I sighed again, I was getting sleepy- if that's all, I'm going to-

-I need to do some other questions- he said, I've forgotten about that part of the deal- how was your date?- he asked politely.

-It was fun... and interesting...- I commented.

-Where you with that dress?- He asked looking at me. My dress was black, short, with a hole in the chest that shows a part of my boobs, also it was a little open on the sides of my legs, turtle neck and without sleeves.

-Yes... why?- I asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

-Aren't you showing... too much?- He asked in a deep voice.

-No... I don't think so- I smirked- why? are you jealous Al?- he smiled wide. Oh shit.

-Pretty much actually- he admitted- what did he say about... that mark I left on your neck?- he asked slightly proud about his actions.

-Nothing- I said- he didn't touch me... he's a gentleman- I added.

-He's a deadman already- he said.

-Do as you please... I already did my part of the deal I had with him- I stated- Alastor... will you do that to every demon who wants to be with me?

-Maybe- he simply said- dear?

-Yes?

-Will you ever love me again?- he asked serious, I looked in his red orbs trying to find my answer, how can I answer that if even I myself don't know...

-Al... I...- I stand up abruptly, I wanted to run away but his shadow didn't let me do it, soon I felt his hands on my shoulder, my body tensed up at the sudden touch.

-Do you really hate me?- he asked seductively- please say no- he begged- it would destroy me to know that you hate me...- he put his head on my right shoulder- please... say something...

-Al... I... I don't know- I said with a knot in my throat- I don't hate you... that's the only thing I know for sure... but about love you again... I don't know... you make me feel so confused...- I admitted looking at the wall- but I'll say this... you can try to make me love you again... but the old way... the way you did when we were alive, but this time... no secrets

He nodded and then let me go.

-One opportunity...- I slowly turn my head to see his eyes- one last opportunity, that's all... waste it and we're done... I don't want my heart shattered again...- I added, I felt the tears accumulating in my eyes- is it clear. Al?- I tried to sound firm. He nodded and in a sudden move, I was pushed against his strong chest.

-I promise I won't fail you this time- Alastor said- I'm sorry

-What for?- I asked thinking in all the wrong things he had done.

-For everything... for lying to you, for kill you, for hurt your son... for just everything wrong I've done to you...- his voice sounds sincere this time- but please don't cry... I love your smile- he makes me look at him, whipped my tears carefully, then a comfortable silence enveloped us, he was getting near and I could feel butterflies on my stomach, I relaxed and let myself drown in the feeling, he was just inches apart, my heart racing and eyes closed. I felt his lips brush against mine but a sudden knock interrupts us, I opened my eyes to see his red orbs slightly open.

-I wonder why people tend to interrupt us on the most inappropriate moments- he sighs.

-...- I couldn't answer to that, he came to the door and opened it, it was Baxter

-Uhm... Am I interrupting something?- he ask nervously.

-Yes...- Alastor said slightly annoyed.

-Well, I should... go to my room- I said, it was my chance to get away. I approached the door and greet the fish demon- Bye Al, it was nice to talk to you...- I smiled at him but he seems like he wanted more.

*Alastor POV*

I saw her walk through the corridor and disappear in the shadows.

-I-I'm sorry boss- Baxter said.

-Nevermind- I sigh letting him inside my room- what are you doing here this late?

-Well, I almost have what you requested, but I need some ingredients- he said, at this point, I almost forgot about the potion.

-Oh, right- I said- I'll give you money, but... I don't need it anymore- I stated- she gave me an opportunity and I don't want to waste it...- I sigh again- do the potion but, I will probably don't use it.

-I don't understand you- he said- I don't understand why would you do something like this, is that what everyone calls love?

-An insane one I'm afraid, my friend- he seemed confused- have you ever love someone?

-I don't think so

-What about sweet Niffty?- I asked, knowing he acts strange when he's around the little cute demon.

-I...I

-That, my friend... is love- I explained- you feel something weird that makes you do stupid things, only to see the other person be happy- I smiled bigger- I fell for her decades ago and I couldn't get her out of my mind- I admitted- she makes me insanely in love...
