14 Nights In Emeliano's Bed

33

"Listen to me-"

"Guarra-" she completed.

"No, I was actually about to say Rebecca, turns out I'm not predictable at-"

"All." she completed with a smile. Which only made me frown deeper.

"I don't have time for this, I'm telling you to leave... You should take that chance and run far away from me, think about this-"

"Very well." She completed.

"The hell is wrong with you?!" I pushed her away from me, turns out our closeness doesn't affect her anymore.

"No, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you pushing me away?"

"Because you were not supposed to be here in the first fucking place!"

"So, why did you kidnap me then?" She asked me, staring at me like she was trying to see through my soul and beyond.

"It was a mistake."

"That's just stupid Emeliano... It wasn't a mistake, you're bad at giving excuses."

I groaned, "Okay, fine, it wasn't a mistake- I kidnapped you because I wanted revenge- you know that already."

"That I do." She muttered. "What I want to know is why you don't want me here anymore? Is it because Marcos is already married to the woman you love?"

  I noticed she didn't refer to that woman as April, is she dropping her theory about Marco's wife being April? If she is? Then--- why?

"Look, Emeliano, you can say whatever you want to say... Yell your heart out if you must... But I'm not going anywhere."

"Why? Why do you want to stay? To frustrate me? Destroy me? Take your revenge? Huh? Do what others seem to be comfortable doing to me? Then after fourteen days you just disappear like everyone else... Look, not that I care about your presence or anything, I don't give a fuck about you or what you do-"

"The feeling is mutual Emeliano! I don't plan on staying here my whole life, so stop acting like I'm only here to feed off your bloody wealth! Not everyone is like my dad, okay!"

My eyes snapped to her direction, she looked like she didn't want to say what she said, but she said it anyway.

"Great." She said mostly to herself.

"What did you mean by that? What do you know?"

She turned away from me immediately, but I was quick to pull her back to me by her arm. "Don't you dare think of running away from me, Rebecca! What the fuck do you know?!"

"I know nothing."

"Stop lying to me."

"I'm not lying to you!"

"How the hell did you know your father tried to steal from me!"

"He did?" She asked me, obviously playing stupid.

"Stop acting like you don't know." My grip tightened on her arm making her wince in pain.

"Well I don't know, let go of me Emeliano! You're hurting me." She said, squirming our of my hold.

  She knows something, I could clearly see it in her eyes. "Not until you tell me what you know."

"I don't know anything okay! I just put two and two together, wondering why you hated my dad so much... I thought that could be the reason."

"You expect me to believe that? What do you take me for? A bozo?"

"Emeliano you're hurting me." She winced out, making me leave her arm abruptly.

"I'm sorry." I blurted out... Now I'm being all weird... Few months ago, I wouldn't even say sorry for damaging Diego's car, now look at me.

I caught the smile on Rebecca's face. "What are you smiling about?"

"You... I can't help but think that I've changed you so much... This is like the fourth time you're apologizing to me... The first time was in the car, the second when you were drunk, the third time was when I lied that we had sex and now you apologized for hurting my arm..."

"It's just three times, don't count the drunken one."

"But you meant it." She said. "And honestly, I forgive you for everything you apologized for, except one."

I raised my left brow at her.

"The day you asked me to strip naked, that was an horrible experience... Nothing you do would ever make me forgive you for that... Not even the Stockholm syndrome feeling... I just wanted to straighten that out."

I stood there staring at her while she stared back at me.

"Whatever, I don't deserve your forgiveness... What i did was wrong, I've accepted that.... I was just blinded by revenge- Marcos is someone I don't want to see you with. No matter how much I try to explain, you can never understand. I don't blame you- I blame myself for thinking that i would finally get justice for- whatever." I turned away from her. "You shouldn't stay here, the more I see you- the more I feel like I've failed."

"Emeliano, wait." She rushed to stand in front of me. "I understand."

"What?"

"I understand why you did what you did... I should forgive you, it's just that it's my pride in question, give me time." She said.

  I stared at her for a bit, getting lost in her eyes, the eyes that I thought was exactly like that of her sister's, but now that I see the difference- I couldn't believe I compared her to Rebecca.

No Emeliano... Don't do this to yourself.

I walked pass her again. "I honestly don't care if you forgive me or not... I'm done trying to tell you to leave, it's like telling a toddler never to get ice cream... As long as you're here, try and stay clear off my path... It's a warning."

"We both know that's not happening." She voiced out.

I turned to her... "I don't care what you think... But if you try to frustrate me in anyway, it'll be at your own risk!"

"Is that a threat I hear?"

I walked to the direction of my bathroom. "Take it however you want to take it."

Before I got in the bathroom I heard her mimicking my voice.

"Take it however you want to take it."

Walking into the bathroom, I shut the door behind me, feeling a small smile tug at my lips.

"What a stubborn woman. So weird and utterly different."
