Chapter Six: Ring or Time

"Layla, are you happy now?" He grabbed my shoulders and then deepened his eyes to mine. "I want to make you smile for real as you did before." He put his hand in his pocket to pull out a black box with a gold ribbon around it, opened it.

An engagement ring, couldn't do this.

- Will you marry ... - I interrupted him.

— I'm sorry, Demian, but the time is not right. - He was surprised by my answer, I started to get angry.

- Why do you have to do it now? You have no idea how long it took to get to where I am today! - I yelled at him at the end, he looked sad.

- Let's go slower, everything will be fine, I will always be there for you. He placed his hand on my cheek to give me a smile. - I love you marry me.

- I'm going to make this announcement, I've dreamed of this all my life. I can't miss this opportunity when I'm so close - He took his hand off my cheek. - I won't Demian. - I passed by his side, dodging the last tear he had shed on his part. I fled the place, I could not miss this opportunity in my work I had dreamed a lot about what I am today.

"Are you happy now?"

- Layla. - Demian's voice behind the door, pushed away my painful memories.

- Now is the time Demian. - I said to myself looking at my reflection in the mirror. - All the appointments that I cancel, we will do them all now, I will make you very happy. - I smile at the mirror and I am about to put away the clothes I was wearing before. I had everything ready for whatever happens in this world, I had to conquer it again and I will do that.

- Layla. I heard your voice again. - Let's go.

I left the bathroom, to start going down the stairs where he was waiting for me, I could see him leaning against the wall with the camera focusing where he was going down, I smiled at him so he could take the picture but he just lowered the camera to see another side.

-We are going? - I ask him, he nods nervously.

He had decided that the place of the appointment would be a park, more refreshing and more open had raised. I liked the idea that he took the initiative, little by little he gave his advances and that made me happy, he was going to collect the lost moments with Demian. We had our cameras in our hands all the time, to take advantage of what we decided in the beginning.

I would shoot him a couple of photos from time to time, but he hadn't gotten a photo yet. How difficult is it to get inspired again? He walked fast seeing all the places where he could take a photo, but none of them liked.

We had entered the children's playground, many children running around, they were very cute. Demian went after the children to play with each other, she didn't know this part of him. I went after the children too, they immediately grabbed my hands to make a circle and turn around, Demian was on my side and she wouldn't stop smiling every moment. We had to say goodbye to the children after a while, to enter a mini individual baseball field that was in the same area of the park.

- You can! - I yelled at Demian before the game starts, he smiled at me and then focused on the balls of the automatic machine.

The balls were passing each other and I still couldn't hit one, I was laughing at that. He just looked at me, until the last one he could hit. - Did you see that? I managed to launch it. - He said excitedly, pointing to where the ball had landed, I applauded him.

I entered the cabin where he is to hug him, at first he did not return the hug but he had no choice but to accept it after my scolding.

- A picture. - I say, to be able to take out the camera and get attached, we smile for the photo.

I want to be with you even if I try, my heart beats faster for each closeness and I hope that yours can understand mine equally. You know that you will be my life, my reason for living even being separated by another time of line. I wish I could scream at the top of my lungs about us, if only we could have this life for a while longer.

– Do you want to continue? –I asked him since I saw him a little tired after that fight with the baseballs.

– Don't worry, I'm fine. What's next on your list? – He asks me excited about the following.

– I've always wanted to see a live theatre and just today they will give one in the centre, I don't know if you want to go but don't worry… – He interrupts me.

– Stop giving too much detail if you want to go alone. – He says correcting me.

I smile excitedly after accepting my request, I grab him by the arm so that I can run faster and that we get to the centre on time to see my desired work. It did not take us long to get there since it is in our same area but I was disappointed when we were able to step on the entrance, a large sign told us that it is closed. But I don't stop and go inside to be able to go up on stage, Demian chases me from behind worried about having entered a closed place.

- Layla is closed better go us. - He grabs my hand to follow him but I refuse.

- I don't want to, this was supposed to be the moment but just and it's closed. - I say annoyed, Demian gets irritated after my reactions.

- If you want to be here so much then I'm going, we'll see each other. - She says ready to go and that she does, she leaves me alone in this lonely place. All I wanted was this moment with him and he just leaves me alone with this dark place.

I am about to go too, I have nothing to do here, I try to walk between the ropes that are on the stage but suddenly I move one and I hear something. I look where that noise is coming from. The wall behind me is moving. I decide to ignore it, but when I took a step, one of the ropes came loose, causing the wall to come loose. I immediately got in the way with my weight, trying to keep the wall from collapsing.

- My God, damn it. - I started to complain. The wall leans more towards my body, I can't bear this weight. - Anyone there? - I scream for help. The last rope is broken making the wall no longer have a place to hold on, I scream waiting for the impact but a body intervened. He helps me grab the wall, we both find ourselves the same, agitated holding the wall.

- It's the end, everything will end in three minutes. - Demian informs me, I look at him.

From one moment to another, Demian is positioned in front of me holding the wall, he had me cornered. His presence makes me nervous.

- Look at me, if you put your head down it will be more difficult. Look at me and stay there. - I raise my head slowly to look at her, her close face is so beautiful, with her fine features.

- I feel like I'm going to collapse. - I comment.

- Just support him with your back. I will support it as much as I can. - Scream scared.

- You must be exhausted too. - I raise my voice the same, scared.

- We can do this. - Whisper the last. "Pretty girls give me energy." Her comment leaves me speechless, I look at her without knowing what to say. - Just 10 more seconds. We're going to run right on the count of three.

One.

Two.

Three.

My entire sight went black for a moment, and my heart was racing rapidly. Demian had pushed me to the ground with him, landed on his chest. The wall had fallen after the models left the place. Many screams were heard wondering what had happened, many people were scared by that sudden moment. I lift my face from his chest, and I see that Demian's gaze is on me.

- I feel somewhat hot, you're bleeding. - I look where I feel the pain, my left arm. I got up quickly from his body, he got up too.

- Is nothing. - I inform you, so you do not worry. - Without your help, it would have been impossible, thank you very much.

- That's what I must say, thank you very much. - He places his hands on my shoulders and looks to the side. "Aren't you too pretty to die so soon?" He smiles, he looks at me. - I'm relaxing, don't take it so seriously. - He gives me two blows on the man before leaving.

I am ecstatic about what just happened, suddenly the people who came after hearing all this noise are asking me about my health, I kindly answer them all and I am about to find Demian again.
