| "Yes you do and wouldn't it be a crying shame if she knew the monster you truly were?" "Don't test me Simone." "You've set your mind to killing me so why don't you? I think Marie's made you soft." "I'll throw you over this cliff myself if you don't shut up." "You do and you'll die trying,"Kevin interfered. "Oh look Simone. You're knight in shining armor has come to rescue you,"he snidely remarked. "Let her go,"he firmly requested. "No,"he turned her toward the cliff. "God Alex. What do you want?" "I want to know why she had to sneak around on me when I did nothing to bring it on." "You did nothing to bring it on? I've seen the bruises on her body Age. Did you think she was gonna take that forever?" "I did it out of love." "Do you even believe that?" "Let her go Alex. Please do it for me,"Marie's voice came out of the darkness. "Marie. Please stay out of this," Alex softly demanded. "Please Alex. I love you. I don't want to believe you're the man they say you are." He glared back toward Kevin as Simone stared downward at the rocky waters. "Alex please,"Marie begged. "But Marie." "I know you love me Alex. Please let her go. They deserve to be happy just like us. You do want there to be an us don't you?" He'd never been able to refuse her before but he refused to let Simone win. She'd never won and he couldn't let her do it this time either."Yes,but," he protested. "But what Alex? Either you love me or you don't. It's as simple as that." |
| He looked to Marie and he looked at the woman he thought had caused him so much agony. Had Marie softened him like Simone had said? Surely it couldn't be true. You told Simone you had a heart. You just don't have a heart for her. Do you want Marie to believe you've turned to this? She doesn't know what you're capable of. Do you really want her to know? "I can't do this,"he digressed as he released Simone from his grip. Simone turned to Kevin. So much had happened but he was here. How did he know? How did he know that Marie would be their key? He took their fate into his own hands. She knew he was lying to her the night he walked out on her. Now she knew why he walked out on her. It was to save her in the end. What are you doing still standing here? Go to him you idiot! she urged herself but before she could he came to her. He pulled her away from the cliff and drew her into his arms. He held on as though he would lose her again if he didn't. They clung to each other for an eternity it seemed before he spoke up."Simone,"he said. She drew her gaze up from the warmth of his body."Yes?" "Please tell me we don't ever have to go through this again." "What about them?" "He tried to kill you again." "But he didn't suceed. Marie changed all that." "Hey!"he protested. "Did you honestly think I would forget you're the reason for making it possible?" "So you're not mad at me?" "You'd know if I was." "But what about?" "I know you did what you did out of love; not because you wanted to." "I don't deserve you." "Yes you do. I'll love you til my dying day." "Promise?" "Forever,"she softly kissed him. |
