"I have fallen completely in love with you all over again," I started as I looked up at Shawn, he just stared at me in shock, "everything you do, everything you say, everything you are, Shawn. You're the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I fall asleep. Everything I felt before, I'm feeling it again!" I raised my voice, feeling the tears brimming at my eyes. I found it hard to look at Shawn so instead, I looked down to my feet not wanting him to see me cry.
"I'm ashamed of it too, completely ashamed because Daniel was everything to me, I thought I had finally moved on but then seeing you again, how you've been acting recently, the way you care for me... I became your assistant again after all shit hit the fan back home just to be sure of my feelings for you again... The moment I let it slip from my lips that I was still in love with you I wasn't sure! But now I am..." I trailed off feeling nothing but shame.
Next thing I know I saw a familiar hand with the swallow tattoo move towards my face and place itself under my chin. My head was slowly lifted up and Shawn's face was so close to mine. I watched as he stepped closer before leaning in and pressing his lips to mine softly. I didn't want to kiss him back after everything I said, after expressing how Daniel is mine now... but I did, and I loved it...
"This," he gestured to Vincent's corpse, "is what happens when you betray me," he hissed. He grabbed my chin and pressed his thumb painfully into my cheek again before continuing, "don't ever betray me."
Without hesitation I said, "I won't."
I didn't know what made me so sure. Was it my love for him or my fear of him?
But as his face broke out into a wide smile, his pearly white teeth a clean contrast to the blood all over him, I realised what the answer was.
Daniel was sick. But I was sicker because I loved him more than ever.
I could never fear him.
He removed his hand from my face, no doubt smearing blood all over my brown skin as he patted my head like I was an obedient dog and he was my master.
"Good girl."
