Cheated Love
Page 24
What I do is look at him. I like him, I always liked the way he looks. His hair, his clothes, but not today. Today there is something ugly coming from him and that smell. That is why I didn`t look for him or even asked somebody else to do it. I wasn`t ready to forgive him and I couldn`t carry my baby feeling like that, that is why I run.
That makes two ugly people in the room.
“Since the first time I saw you in the elevator with Agatha I was into you. Next day I heard you call me an idiot, and that was the final straw to be enchanted by you. There was something in you that I had to discover, but then I realized that it was going to be you who discovered me, who would save me. That was when the evidence of the new mission for the CIA lead me to you and the senate.”
He is still holding my hand and makes sit down, without letting me go. I don`t have the energy to pull away, that is because I realize that if he does, I will run away from him. Four months I`ve been waiting for an explanation and now he is giving me one.
“It was all real Lana. Ever since I met you it was all real, you were never a target for me or a job. I never doubted your innocence and at the end of it all I humiliated you, I did it to protect you. The only way I could was having you inside the CIA.”
“Why didn`t you tell me that before?”
Duncan looks at me face to face and despite all the explanations he may give me, it doesn`t change the things he did wrong, his way. He should have trusted me.
“I know I should have done things differently, but I didn`t know another way to protect you. That is how I learned to do it.”
“By lying?”
I nod negatively.
“By pushing away the woman I love.”
My jaw starts to tremble.
“Could you forgive an idiot like me?”
I sigh and look down. When I look back up again I look into his eyes.
“Yes I could.”
He smiles at me. Damn it! There is his smile again. The one that fixes things.
“Did you hear me when I told you I loved you?”
That makes me shut up. He loves me?
“Yes, but…”
“Stop spinning things in your mind so much, Lana Taynor.”
“You dare give me orders?
His face of pure horror makes me laugh my ass off. Now he is too serious for my taste.
“If you keep laughing at me like that I will not bend the knee and ask you to marry me. This is how I want to see you always, happy because you`ve made me the happiest man on earth now that I got you back to start a family. My family.”
What?
That erases my smile at once. That he is going to do what? He is insane, he can`t do that. When I look at him he is doing it, bending the knee in front of me. I open my eyes as wide as they go and my heart starts pounding when I see the bling on the ring in front of me.
“Lana Taynor” he says with his deep voice as if he where enchanting me “Will you marry me?”
Love…love…love has swindled me! But in the best possible way. The weight seems to disappear. This man that became stone, stumble and path. Everything at the same time, the best and worse craziness of my life.
He made do all kinds of things, including the CIA. Cold interrogation rooms and the weirdest dates ever.
“Stop thinking in over so much, babe.”
This man, owner of my body and he also owner of my heart.
He has always been.
“Yes I do Dr. Weird.”
Could I be happy?
Of course I can, because I know he will choose me every day…like I will choose him.
