HER WEAKNESS

20

It’s been weeks since i’ve slept peacefully without a dream or rather a memory. A memory of Ingrid. I spent every waking hour desperately searching the crowds for any sign of Ingrid. She couldn’t be dead.

I didn’t believe it.

I knew she was still out there.

I just knew, even if I was left everything. Her money, her house and her business. I didn’t want any of it but with help from her brother I was able to sort it out, so I kept only the house and consulted in some of the business. I tried getting rid of the money but it was no use. They wouldn’t have it. Apparently it was non negotiable. Ingrid had left the money to me so I had to use it and so I did to book a holiday and used her private jet to take me back to the place we went away.

I wanted to be close to Ingrid even if it was just in memory.

My business was going well. My family were talking to me again and not just because Ingrid was no longer in the picture but because they missed me. It felt nice to have my family back but it still felt like there was a hole in my heart and I was hoping this would be the cure.

The breeze was refreshing and I managed to get the exact villa we were in, but there was a difference.

Rose petals were scattered all over the floor and I followed the trail outside to the sunbed where the petals were shaped like a heart and there was a letter inside the heart with my name on it.

Amy

I always hoped that I was still in your heart and the fact that you’re here shows me that I am. You weren’t the only one who changed when we got together. I became a better person when you came into my life and the minute you were gone I became the ruthless mafia queen that I once was.

I knew there was only one way out of my line of work and that was to die. Along with me the mafia died as well so now i’m just a regular women in love with the sweetest and most ambitious person i’ve ever met and I’m really hoping that if you still love me that you’ll be the one looking after me now. If you will. If you’ll accept me again then raise you right hand and if you don’t then raise your left and i’ll make sure that you never see me again.

I smiled at the letter and my heart clenched at the thought of not seeing Ingrid ever again. I didn’t even hesitate as I raised my right hand and turned around to see Ingrid smiling at me.

I smiled back at her and ran into her arms. The feeling of her arms around me brought me to tears.

‘I’ve missed you so much.’

‘Not as much as me. Now i’m going to kiss you right now before I literally combust.’

Ingrid tilted my head to hers and planted her lips on top of mine. I moaned into her mouth letting her tongue slip in as her hands slithered around and grabbed my arse. I pulled away the minute i felt her squeeze.

‘Not that I don’t love this. But I want to go on a proper date with you. I want to get to know you like it’s our first date and then I want an awkward first kiss that leads to hot hot s*x. I want this to be the beginning of our relationship. I want to do this right. Ingrid stepped back and put her hand out.

‘Hi, there. My name is Ingrid and I was once a mafia queen. Oh and I find you incredible sexy by the way,’

I laughed as I shook her hand. ‘It’s nice to meet you, Ingrid. I’m Amy and i’m a successful business owner. I’m a lesbian for only one person in this world and I find you inotxicating.’

Their hands shook in front of them. ‘I think this relationship is going to be very hot.’ Ingrid laughed as she held onto my hand and led me out the villa as we stepped into the next stage of our relationship, whatever that might be because from this moment on we weren’t going to be each other’s weaknesses, we were going to be each other’s strengths.

The end
