Chapter 10
“What’s up?” Elizabeth asked as she looked right at Dom.
“Elijah…”
“What now?” She asked as she rolled her eyes.
“He’s been…watching her and even interrupted once.” He сказал(-а) as he clenched his fists in anger.
“Interrupted?” I asked.
“Yes, there’s rules for a reason.” Elizabeth сказал(-а) as she turned and smiled at me. “Hello, Alexandra how are you?”
“Yeah someone’s going to have to explain these ‘reasons’ to me..and answer a hell of a lot of questions.” I сказал(-а) as I looked from Elizabeth to Dom and back. “Oh, and hello Elizabeth, sorry if I’m coming off rude.”
“She is a little spitfire isn’t she?” Elizabeth сказал(-а) as she laughed. “You’ll fit perfectly.”
“Ok.” I сказал(-а) as I got really pissed off. “Enough with the little cryptic messages, enough with the jokes…just tell me what’s going on…Dom, please?”
“You’re going to have to tell her ya know?” Elizabeth сказал(-а) as she smiled at me.
“I know Elizabeth…but not yet.” Dom сказал(-а) as he looked at me and spoke again before I could get upset. “Alex, we have quite a while. Please let me explain when I can, in a different place..if Elijah is truly watching Ты then I can’t say what I want to now…it will only help him.”
“Help him how?” I asked as I took a step closer to him.
“He knows that…”
“Just tell her Ты idiot.” Elizabeth said
“Elizabeth.” Dom сказал(-а) with a look that made me want to step back, but I didn’t.
“No, don’t get mad at her.” I сказал(-а) as I closed the distance between us. “Please, just tell me what Ты can and I will go with you.”
“Elizabeth, give us a second.” He asked as he reached for my hand and waited until my hand wrapped around his.
“Ok but I won’t be far.” She сказал(-а) as if she could defend us somehow.
“Dom?” I asked as I touched his shoulder, hoping he would look at me, just tell me what the big secret was.
“He would try and either turn Ты against me или use Ты somehow to hurt me.” Dom сказал(-а) softly as he looked at the ground. “He knows how…important Ты are to me..that it would kill me to not…”
“To not what?” I asked as my pulse raced.
“To not have Ты here, with me.” He сказал(-а) as he looked up at me.
I was instantly Остаться в живых in my own thoughts, so many things were going through my mind…I had so many Вопросы that I still needed answered but none of them mattered at this moment. All I could think about was this guy standing in front of me, holding my hand who just told me that he couldn’t live without me. That I didn’t actually know him или anything that was going on here, but deep down that didn’t matter to me..I knew instantly that I felt the same way, that I didn’t want to be away from him..that I wanted to stay here both to find out what was going on and because I didn’t want to be apart from Dom.
“Alex?” Dom asked, the tone in his voice made it obvious that he was getting nervous.
“Sorry,” I said, and as soon as the words came out of my mouth I wished that I could take them back because he took it the wrong way, I could almost feel the hurt and sadness coming out of him.
“It’s ok.” He сказал(-а) as he went to pull his hand out of mine.
“No.” I сказал(-а) as I held his hand tightly in mine. “Wait, Dom please hear me out.”
“No, it’s ok Alexandra. I understand.”
“No Ты don’t.” I сказал(-а) as I stepped so close to him that I could feel the heat coming off of him. “I feel the same way…I don’t know how..or why but I don’t want to leave you, the idea of being away from Ты scares me. The whole time I was gone, after I fell on the ice I was trying to get back here, back to you.”
“Really?” He asked in disbelief.
“Truly.” I сказал(-а) as I felt myself blush.
“You’re not just saying it?”
“Why won’t Ты believe me?” I asked, my feelings hurt.
“It’s…” He сказал(-а) as he got frustrated. “I thought Ты were going to say no, that Ты didn’t feel the same, that..”
“Dom, what can I do to prove to Ты I feel the same way?” I asked him as I dropped my hands to my sides, unsure what to do with myself.
He looked at me for a секунда before he leaned down and kissed me, his lips so soft and smooth against mine. I was shocked at first and wasn’t sure how to respond, but something deep in my soul told me that this was right.
“What’s up?” Elizabeth asked as she looked right at Dom.
“Elijah…”

“Yeah someone’s going to have to explain these ‘reasons’ to me..and answer a hell of a lot of questions.” I сказал(-а) as I looked from Elizabeth to Dom and back. “Oh, and hello Elizabeth, sorry if I’m coming off rude.”
