"Hey straniero, you might wanna shift" She said immediately I sat down near her.
Fuck! I wasn't expecting this day to be my happiest day but it is. Just a moment before now, I had entered this bar with the mindset of killing my self with shots. I wouldn't have missed her special light skinned for anything and that light skinned called out to me immediately I opened the door. I was so shocked to the extent that I asked myself "Are you sure Phillip that your Le didn't have an identical twin course your Le don't drink but on a second thought, I rethink everything. The Le I know Love me. The Le I know don't drink but what if circumstances made her to?.
Is Claire not taking very good care of her? I ask myself then shake it off because the Claire that I know and heard of would die for Le so why is she here and almost drunk?. Whatever reason it is, it on my favor tonight. Guess God still loves me after all.
"Why" i ask smiling on the inside wanting to ask her who thought her Italian jokily but bit it back in because I already know it was Nikoleta and what if she's here to avoid anything close to that name or the person bearing it.
OK.. At first when I saw her, i ran with my two hands spread wide open, ready to hug her and kiss her but realization stopped me when I was just two inches from claiming her. "My Le have no memories of us" I said to myself as I stood there looking at her as she empty her glass then ordering for more.
Knowing that I couldn't cuddle, kiss or huge her hurts me but I still didn't give up instead I did what any guy who fall in love with a girl at first sight would do. I sat so close to her, my eyes on hers, looking at her so lovingly as if my life depends on them and they did.
"Ok. No more playing around, this body is claimed so.. uhmm, shift" she said then on a low tune she whispers "my wife is a very jealous woman"
I could smell the alcohol in her breath as she whispers the last part. She's drunk and just that makes me upset. What did Claire did to Leila that made her drink so much? Did they quarrel?, and why isn't she here with her or the body guards? Why would Claire Let her come here alone? She f*****g know that her Lunatic father is alive and worst Nickolas!
I was so angry that I didn't know that I was holding my drink tightly, I guess that's what she noticed and also that why she took my drink from my hands whispering "Hey".
"I'm fine" I said
"No you're not" she said still holding my hands as if preventing me from taking back my drink.
"yeah, I'm not. Even You too" I reply
"Ok, let's do this. Tell me what bothering you and I will tell you what's bothering me. Deal?
"You first" I said but she replied me by saying "No, you first"
"The woman I love can't remember me" I said waiting for her to say ..i'm so sorry about that but she didn't and she didn't have too but people say that a lot so I thought she was gonna say it but instead she surprise me by confiding in me.
"My wife don't trust me". she said looking at my eye's as if looking for an explanation. I wanted to tell her bad things but I found myself mute, my lips sealed. I was captivated by the the beauty of her eyes and still am as we stare at each other.
She blinks as if getting her brain in other as she continues when she realize that I wasn't gonna say anything. "I love her but I think she doesn't believe me. What if I did something that made her not to trust or believe me and I couldn't remember. "
"Le.." I call as I notice that she is forcing the tears inside her eyes that are not so far from the surface.
"Yeah, she calls me that too. What's your name? She ask.
"Phillip" I reply.
"I'm Leila but she calls me Le. How did you know that?." She ask then shake her head saying never mind, you used your number eight.
"Hey" I said as I saw her wipe something at her eyes which I guess to be tears.
"You know I told her I don't wanna go to college but she insisted on it. She doesn't tell me when she's angry and she hasn't paid for my college fees when she suggested it and I objected but she lied saying she had but she made the payments the next day. There's this guy that's blackmailing her with my name and I tried asking her what it was all about but she didn't say anything, she won't tell me anything that's going on with her. All she do is ask me all the time, how are you feeling today? have you eaten? Don't forget the credit card, blah blah blah and nothing, nothing about herself when ever I ask. I.. I don't..
"Hey, it ok. Cry on my chest. Let it out love, don't let anyone remaining, just let it all out. " I said as I huge her to my chest, feeling her sobs as she mutters what's troubling her.
"She loved her" I said to myself "She Love Her now. She loved me and she will love me from now on "
"I'm so sorry love that I wasn't there when you needed me but I swear on my last f*****g breath that I will be from now on".
