Angelo
I have been through hell and in hell for the past two weeks. I've gone from waking up every morning with the intention of finding Cleo; to being told to let her go, and prepare for the worst. She wasn't comimg home. I haven't slept for the past few days ,make that weeks. Something still felt amiss and I need time alone with Cleo.
Cleo turned aroroound and poured a glass of wine I stopped her.
"Don't touch that . You are pregnant with our baby."
Cleo looked at me confused
" Hah? "
"Yes ."
" Angelo ? "
"Yes Cleo. I am Angelo .Your boyfriend. You said... you called me Blue. You work for us . "
" I know who you are Massa. What kind of mess did you get yourself into this time."
Paul chuckled because he was next to me and I was rubbing my temples
"Nothing . I don't want Pia and Pio to live on the run. We had the conversation ."
"What about Gio?"
"Him too."
"I miss you . All of you my baby love."
"Liar. You miss the sex. "
"... And that too . "
Cleo pushed her chair back and stood up . I stood up too .
"May I please be excused."
"Me too."
Everybody at the table winced but I didn't care. I took a deep breath and shot everyone an irritated glance.
Cleo walked towards Paul's bedroom she went in and I walked in and locked the door. Before she could say anything I kissed her and she kissed me back. I held her closer to my chest and she slid her hands up and down my back as a sign to let her go .I pulled back and I sat on the bed, with her leaning on my shoulder. She started sobbing inturn making me cry too.
" I'm so sorry."
"Hush my angel you're not to blame ."
Cleo started sobbing harder and I could feel her shaking.
"Something happened. Something I couldn't remember but now I do."
"You don't have to tell me now . I was scared that you were gone."
"I'm here now and I am breathing . I'm thankful."
"Do you remember anything. "
"I remember you, and how I'm so in love with you... my heart knows you ."
"My heart knows you too. It believed you were alive . I knew you were. "
"Did you see the video I made you ?"
"You made that ?"
"Yes . A week befor your birthday, after Rosa went all mean and told you she was ashamed of the twins because they were not white. They are innocent; they didn't do anything to her. "
"She is my mother and I am embarrassed on her behalf. "
"Don't be. If it wasn't for her you wouldn't be here Blue. Sometimes we do things out of fear. It comes in different forms; but when you wake up and see the error of your ways you ask yourself the question; whether or not you're worthy of forgiveness. "
" I'm changing your last name."
" I'm not complaining. "
Cleo pulled back and cleared her face with a facial tissue and she wanted to cry again because she knew she had to break my heart and it was killing her.
"You have that ; I'm about to break your heart look."
"Yes ..."
"Dont my babe. Please don't. "
"No I have to tell you. When we got back together we prommised no more secrets. "
"I know you and Ryan used to go out ."
"We'll talk about that. "
"I'm jealous ."
" No need to be. I really need to tell you something. "
"What is it hun?"
Cleo looked at me and started crying.
"The accident came at a cost."
"What cost ?"
"We aren't having a baby anymore. "
" What, how , when"
My heart was breaking.
"The crash and injuries I sustained were bad. I know I saw the scars. I peaked at the doctors report. "
Cleo started sobbing again she blames herself for our loss and it wasn't her fault. All I could do was hold her and comfort her. I'm glad she's alive .
" Its not your fault..."
" It is . I shouldn't have gone out."
" You were doing a good thing . I love you for that."
" I miss Pio and Pia."
"They are on the way with my mom and dad. We'll see them soon. "
" I dont know how to deal with this."
I held both her hands and kissed them Again. Whe I looked up her face reflected hurt and sadness.
"We will do it together. From here on out and for always I have you , and you have me, we've got us."
"I'm thankful. "
I kissed her and held her close till she stooped crying.
