Chapter 36: Till infinity and beyond
Alanis
"Father is back," Eligio tells .
He wants
to go back ho with them, I am not leaving Beau so sohow, I have to convince him to co with us. "I have to talk to Beau about it, we will go together."
He frowns, I look over the couch and Darrien is already getting antsy, he wants to leave and I don’t bla him.
"He should stay here," Eligio mutters.
"Why?"
He shrugs "He shouldn’t leave in case Cassius cos back."
I frown "I can’t leave him alone; he needs
in case Cassius cos back." I am being stubborn but El should know that he can’t win this argunt. I don’t want to leave Beau right now.
"What If he cos back and the Alpha of the pack isn’t here?"
"We won’t sleep at ho; I’ll just hear what father has to say and bring him back."
"You know he is better off here right now; besides we are having a eting as a family."
"He is part of the family."
He shakes his head "He isn’t, not really."
I am getting angry.
"Why don’t you want him to co with ?" he seems to be hiding sothing. El never hides stuff from . He is the most open with . What is he hiding now?
"Calm down you’re overreacting."
I stand up from the couch "No I am not, tell
what is going on," I want to know the truth. Eligio runs his hands through his hair. I can sense the regret.
"I am not hiding anything. I just don’t think you shouldn’t bring him along right now,"
I shake my head "You are lying to . I can tell."
"I am not, just trust ."
Realization hits
suddenly and I hate that he has this power "What did you see?" I ask him solemnly.
Eligio can see the future, that is his special gift. So, he must have seen sothing that I wouldn’t like. He must know sothing that he doesn’t want Beau to know. That is the only explanation I have.
He sighs "Beau isn’t that good at handling situations."
He is talking like he even knows him. I am the only one that has the right to assu things like this. He has no right. "What wont he be able to handle?" I ask him because my curiosity is at its peak. I am already panicking at different thoughts that are running through my head.
"Nothing, forget I said anything. Bring him with you if you want." he walks away from
without another word and I grimace. I look around and notice that beau isn’t in the living room anymore. Rex notices
as I walk over to him "He went to have a shower?" he explains before I even ask. Just the fact that he knows everything about Beau makes
jealous.
I nod and walk to the direction of his room, I have gotten so accustod to his house, it is almost starting to feel like ho. Not there yet—but almost. The door to his room is open and as I walk into it, I hear water rushing in the bathroom. I smile because I understand how pleasurable his bath ti is for him.
Walking into the shower, there is steam everywhere from the hot water. I see him through the transparent glass. I open the sliding door and he looks up through the pouring water "I knew you’d find ."
He stretches his hand out for
as an invitation "Eligio and Darrien need to leave," I remind him.
He nods "Just a couple of minutes, please," he waves his hands and the temptation that is him, reel
in. I cannot say no to this man, No is not in my vocabulary. I take off my clothes hurriedly and he laughs.
Grabbing his hands in mine tightly I let him pull
into the shower and the hot water hits
in a way I didn’t even know I needed "Told you." he kisses my temple and I close my eyes to enjoy this mont. This is a mont I didn’t even know I needed, through all the chaos that has been happening, this couple of minutes of solace is very appreciated.
"I missed you," I find myself mumbling.
"I missed you too," he is still in my arms. I just want to stay like this for the rest of my life. I love this man and I didn’t even know that a couple of months ago. We stay in the shower for a while and I lose my self and track of the ti. He is the one that stops the bliss we are in "We should head on out,"
I groan in his arms "I don’t want to."
He chuckles "You ca in here trying to drag
out, now you don’t want to leave?"
"Yes, lets run away together. Disappear and never look back," at this point I am just ssing around. I know he will never leave his pack. He will rather die fighting than run away.
"I need to bury my dad today, his body has been cold for too long," he tells
solemnly.
I nod because the day is already over but I also know he want to do this so that he can finally say goodbye and focus on protecting his people. "You’re not coming with us?" Even though Eligio doesn’t want him to co ho with , I still want him to.
"I have to stay here, you’ll let
know what you discuss?"
I nod.
"Are you going to co back today?"
"Yes, I won’t let you sleep alone, not even for a night."
His smile deepens "Have I told you how much I love you?"
"hmm...I don’t think so. How much do you love ?’’
He snickers "I love you till infinity will run out,"
I blush.
"You wanna know how long that is?"
I nod.
"Never,"
I smile.
"Even when I die and beco nothing, my love for you will forever resonate. It will last till the world ends and ti is non-existent. You are everything to ." he leans forward not even giving
a chance to comprehend all he has said and kisses
deeply. I pull him even closer until there is no space between us and I kiss him back with all that I am.
I have no regrets with this man and I doubt I ever will. This thing that people say is a mistake, or is unfortunate, is the best thing that has ever happened to . I take it as a blessing and I will be forever grateful to the forces that joined us together.
After our shower we go back to the living room and Darrien is not there but Eligio and Rex seem to be having a conversation. They look up imdiately they see us and Eligio smiles "You ready?"
I nod "Where’s Darrien?"
"He went out for a smoke, said we should et him out back," I nod because this is the most patient, he has ever been. I know El wouldn’t have an issue with waiting but Darrien is a different case.
We walk out of the house with Beau tightly holding . Once outside I see Darrien first at a far end of a corner but he is not alone. There is a boy seated on a rock and they seem to be engrossed in a conversation. Darrien is smiling, this is a shock to
because Darrien never smiles. His eyes are shining brightly and as we walk closer to them, he doesn’t even flinch or notice us.
"You have sad eyes, are you sad?" he asks the boy.
"Maybe just exhausted," the boy answers him and turns around suddenly noticing us. His cheeks turn red like he has been caught doing sothing wrong, unlike Darrien who just moves closer "Are you ready now?" he asks.
I raise a brow because I am curious as to what is going on between the two of them.
"What are you doing outside Jabi." Beau speaks up.
Jabi stands up from the rock and dusts off the dirt from his pants "I needed so fresh air," he tells him trembling.
"Did Rex send the food?" he asks him while the rest of us just watch them. Darrien can’t seem to take his eyes off him, a smile sprawls on my face from the excitent that he could be interested in the kid. He seems interested, this ans sothing considering the type of person Darrien is.
"I got it, thank you so much."
Beau smile and reaches for his hair, ruffling it "You should go back inside. I don’t want anything to happen to you,"
Jabi heads for the opposite direction but stops midway and turns around "Nice eting you." he waves at Darrien and I smile, liking everything I just witnessed.
Beau follows us until we get to the car park "I’ll be waiting for you." he tells , holding unto my hand tightly. It doesn’t seem like he wants to let go; I don’t want to say goodbye either.
"As soon as I can," he kisses my forehead.
"I love you,"
He lets go of my hand and I open the door of the back seat "Till infinity and beyond."
