follow me and don’t bother with me anymore. I want you to leave me the hell alone,” she said as she ran out of the living room and up the stairs to her room.
I turned around forgetting that there were others in the room listening and watching. I looked around and saw Carmella, she looked disappointed.
“Carmella…” I started to explain myself but she just got up and left the room as well.
Amber and Jared looked at me with an anguished expression etch on their faces as they left the room too. Now I was standing in the threshold of the living room alone. I slowly walked upstairs to my room, opened balcony doors and sat outside on the balcony letting the gentle summer breeze calm my nerves. My thoughts and emotions were in a state of pandemonium. I can’t believe Angelina really thought I was heartless, especially towards her. I have to find a way to prove her wrong. She told me that she loves me, I should be jumping for joy but the fact of the matter was that she screamed it at me. If she truly loves me, why am I sitting here when I should be showing her how much I love her in return? I heard my bedroom door open but I didn’t bother to look to see who it was. Carmella sat in the empty chair next to me. We both sat there in silence for a few minutes, until I broke the silence.
“I thought you were mad at me.”
“Dennis, I’ve always looked at you as a son. I could never stay mad at you,” she said with a warm smile.
“She’s right about me?”
“Yes in a way that you don’t consider the people who care about you when you put yourself in dangerous situations and no to you not caring, I know you care.”
“What am I going to do Carmella?” I asked as I placed my head in my hands.
“I think you already know what you have to do you. She loves you and I know you love her too,” she said. “The question is, do you want this or you not,” she said as she looked up into the sky. “You can convince her that you do feel the same way about her or end it now so you don’t give her any more heartache.”
“Danger surrounds me in my line of work, I have enemies. For instance, one bastard is trying to hunt her as we speak.”
“Let her make that decision son. Don’t deprive her of her choice.” She got up and patted my shoulder. “I will support any decision you make, only if it doesn’t hurt you or Angelina,” then she turned and left me alone on the balcony.
I sat there and real ly thought hard about what Carmella said. Debating on what I wanted and what was right. I wanted to be with Angelina more than anything in the world, but could I risk bringing her life into my dark world? I couldn’t just let her go, it would kill me. I decided to head up to her room. Carmella’s right, the choice is hers. I walked down the hallway and paused just outside her door. She told me to not to bother her but I needed to know if she is okay, the only thing is that it’s almost one in the morning. She’s probably sleeping; I’ll just peek in just to check if she’s all right. I slowly and quietly opened the door and peeked in, it was dark except for the lights that can from the balcony. I glanced at the bed and saw that she was under the covers. She looked like she was asleep, so I crept up to the bed. When I looked at her she looked worn out, I sighed inwardly. She opened her eyes sensing she was not alone, when her eyes met mine she quivered.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you,” I said quietly as she turned away from me.
“I thought I told you to leave me alone ,” her voice sounded weak and rough. I sat on the edge of the bed facing toward her.
“You did, but it’s hard for me to stay away,” I said softly, that was the truth. I don’t think I can ever stay away. She sat up and faced me.
“What do you want Dennis?” She asked.
“Well I came to apologize,” I said staring into her beautiful brown eyes. Every time I looked into her eyes I always got lost in them.
“You don’t
