Mikeal POV
I've been having dreams of her since the night I felt her arrive. I wanted her so much..but I knew it was not the right time to suddenly pop into her life.
She was still probably disoriented after waking up. I still don't know why this time was different and why I only felt her now, but since she was finally here, I needed to approach this differently. Especially since this time, she was already married.
Through experience, I knew she was the type of women who hated being forced and hated when she didn't understand what is happening to her. I tried to give her time to adjust.
When I watched her husband touch her, I felt this urge to kill him. I could never get use to watching other men have her, but I had to force myself and learned to control my emotion and desire as I watched her throughout the many dozens of years be with other men. I would always remind myself, that if I want her to live, I need to be okay with this.
I tried to reassure myself that no matter who she's with, she will always only belong to me. I know, if I wanted to, I could have her all to myself, but that would also mean letting her go in the end. A vicious. Never ending cycle.
-----
As I sneaked into the mansion and secretly hoped I could get a glimpse of her. I watched her briefly tour the outside of the garden and walked with a child beside her.
So they had a son.
I had mixed feelings because for once, I realized that she had a child with a man. This was the first time she was ever able to reach this point in life where she had her own child and the first time, I realized how much she's lost by being with me in this cursed life.
Later that night, I watched her come out of the mansion and walked towards the pathway. I followed her secretly until I realized she arrived at a waterfall that was more familiar to me than anything in this world.
This was our place. Where we first met and spent our entire time together. How long has it been?
I'm sure it's been a of couple century already. That place must of been taken down and been destroyed by time and civilization.
How did she build this? Or rather... How did she remember?
Wait... Since it's here, then it must of been built years ago. Could the Carlita back then have already built it?
As I felt hope spring to my heart and the thought that she had remembered this place. I felt so happy and scared at the same time. I watch her stand there and stare at the water and then up in the sky.
Whenever I was around her, I was like a fish at sea being drawn to the lure of bait, in this case, she was the bait and I always ended up getting caught in her net. Ironic. Since I was the god of attraction and desire.
And as I subconsciously moved towards her, I saw her jerk and turn around which force me to freeze.
Oh, shit. I didn't mean to have her see me.
I saw her face which was the exact replica of her long long time ago and felt like I was transported back to the past before all this happened.
"Your here" I whispered. I was hit with realization that she was finally finally here again with me. Within view. Within reach.
"Finally, I can touch you again"
As I watched her face, I suddenly missed her. This atmosphere, this place, with her here, reminded me so much of the past that I craved, that before I knew what I was doing, I walked to her and kissed her with such longing.
I felt thrilled when I felt her respond with vigor. Yes, this is what I missed for so long. Her smell and touch. At this moment, the consequences and complications of showing up suddenly in front of her flew out the window. I missed her terribly and if I could just have this moment, it would be worth it, I thought.

As I lost myself in his arms, I suddenly felt that this could be a dream.
In that case, I want to continue this dream. There's no harm if it's not real right?
We continued to kiss hungrily and with passion. I just couldn't get enough of him. I never once remembered feeling this way for any man and we were only kissing.
We wrapped ourselves against each other and felt each other's body.
Suddenly, I heard a snap in front of me.
As if I was electrocuted, I snap my eyes opened. I realized that no one was in front of me. Those lips, arms, body, and face was no where in sight. I suddenly fell in daze, wondering if I had just hallucinated my dream into reality.
"Your here"
As I heard the same words that the man in my dream said, I jolted and felt nervous.
When the man who called out to me from the dark, stepped into view, I realized it was Leon. I'm not sure if I was relief or disappointed but currently I felt unsure of my state.
Did I really just dreamed that the man in my dream showed up here or...? No...that's not possible.
Hoping and not hoping that it could of been real, I looked around the waterfall area, looking for any sign of movement but unfortunately couldn't detect anything.
"What's wrong? What are you doing here?"
I snapped back to the present and wondered if he saw anything. But if he did, wouldn't he have questioned why I was with a man?
Does that mean I've been standing here, pretending to kiss an imaginery man?
Omg... Thank God it's night time. If someone saw me like that, that would be so embarrassing.
I blushed.
"I-I just wanted fresh air and this place was very beautiful"
Leon then took off his coat and placed it around my shoulders.
"It's cold, you should of worn something warmer if you had planned to take a walk. Next time, you should also let me know. It's already dark, it's not good to walk by yourself." He worriedly instructed.
I stared at this man, who was so gentle and who had worried about me, I suddenly felt guilty.
Why am I guilty? Its not like I love him? If anything, I should feel guilty for my actual husband.
Remembering Ian, I felt even more depress. What was I doing? How could I imagine doing those things with another man? I'm starting to feel so confused about my feelings and what I want now.
"Let's go back, it's already so late. It's time to sleep."
I nodded and followed him as he held my shoulders. I looked back over my shoulder at the waterfalls and wondered if it was really a hallucination or not?
