Chapter 22

Kyle's Pov

"Enough Alexa!" I said while removing her hand from hugging me

"Why?? I..I thought you would be happy when you see me"

"Back then, don't you know that I went back and forth to your house almost every day but you weren't there? Even a call, text or chat you didn't do "

"That's why I'm here to say sorry please I'm so sorry"

"Its too late, we can't go back to what was before," I said turning my back on her

"Why?? Tell me Edward why??"

I held my breath

She is the only woman who calls me by my second name

"I'm in love with someone"

I'm in love with Mae Salvartes

She walked and faced me

"Tell me you're just lying"

"No I'm not, and besides were done so what else are you doing here??"

" What?? Did you say?? We're done?? No!! Edward we are not done "

"You've been gone for two years Alexa, even text call or chat, there's nothing so what do you want me to do ha? just wait and hope you'll come back? "

"Yes! yes Edward"

" Well, I'm not like that Alexa, I'm not like that to wait for someone who has no certainty" I answered her seriously

"A person?? I'm just a person to you. I thought you loved me"

"Yes I love you Alexa"

"So why are you doing this to me? I came here to see you and explain everything to you"

"People change and even there feelings Alexa"

"No please" she said hugging me again "Don't do this to me Edward I'm begging you"

I removed her hand from hugging me again

"I'm sorry Alexa" I said as I walked away

Mae's Pov

I am now in my room lying on the bed

*knock*knock

"Come in"

The door of my room opened

And I looked at who entered

My cousin Eros enter my room

I sat on the bed

I turned slightly and wiped the tears from my eyes with my hand and faced my cousin and smiled

"Oh cousin, what are you doing here??"

He sat on my bed

"Aren't you going to eat? I already cook your favorite"

"I don't feel like it, I'll just go to sleep"

"You have a problem, don't you??"

I couldn't answer

"Tell me , I'll listen"

" .. I saw him"

"Who??"

"Kyle is hugged by a woman"

"Woman??"

" Then the woman said to him I know .. I know and I'm very sorry for that Edward and I came here because I realize that i can't live without you please i want us to be together again .. Please i love you Edward " I said at the same time my tears fell little by little

"Come here"

I approached my cousin and sat next to him and leaned my head on his shoulder

"What was Kyle's answer? Did he agree?"

"I .. I don't know because I left when I heard that"

My cousin sighed

"Let him explain he's self, didn't he tell you he loves you??"

"But what if he only loves me before because that girl doesn't here? What if now that girl is here .. That's the one he loves he will choose her over me??"

"Talk to him so you know the answer to your question"

"I'm scared .. What if I'm right??"

"I know he won't hurt you"

I hope so cousin

I hope so..

The next day

I got up from lying on the bed and walked to the veranda to open the curtain

But I was surprised when I opened the curtain and saw

Kyle

I immediately opened the glass door of the veranda and walked towards him

" What are you doing here? "

"I came here because I want to talk to you because you are not answering my calls on your phone"

I approached him with my coat and touched his face, he had a wound on the right side of his lip

"Who did this to you??" I asked worriedly

"It's your cousin's revenge for me making you cry yesterday"

My cousin Eros really?

"And your cousin told me that you saw Alexa and me in the garden and she hugged me"

I didn't answer

"And you heard what Alexa said that she wants us to get back together"

I still haven't answered

He held both of my hands

"Do you know what my answer was to her??"

What is it??

Do you agree to what she wants??

To be you again??

"I told her that I can't go back to what I was before because I'm already in love with someone else"

I slowly raised my head and stared at him

"I'm in love with you Mae, she can't go back because she's not the part of it anymore" he said while holding his chest "you are the part of it and if she were to choose me between the two of you, I would choose you because you are my love" he said with a smile

"I-I thought you loved her a-I thought you agreed to what she wanted"

" Yes I love her but that's before Mae .. Alexa left me 2 years ago when I told her that mom decided that we should stay here in the Philippines, she didn't show me when I went back to their house but I didn't see her even call text or chat nothing yes, I admit that she is my first love and she is my first girlfriend but she is my past and you are my present "

I hugged him

"Thank you.. Because you choose me"

"I always choose you Mae because I love you" he said while stroking my hair

I let go of his hug

"So don't cry" he said as he wiped the tears from my face with his hand

I nodded

"How did you know that I live here??"

"Remember I also live here in the villa??"

Yes it is

"Um, how do you climb here on the veranda??"

"I used the stairs"

I looked down

There is a staircase

"I also found out that you will be leaving with your fiance in two days, so I came here to go ahead of him"

" First? " I asked

"I plan to keep you away from Kent while I work out how to get rid of him," he said seriously

Going away??

"A-ahh -just the two of us??"

"Yes"

Just the two of us??

"Don't worry, I already told your cousin that he agreed because he doesn't want you to marry someone you don't love.. So do you want come with me?? He seriously ask me
