Chapter 47
"We need to talk, Lexi," Aziz called and Lexi stopped, pivoting to look at him.
"We don't have anything to talk about, Aziz," she started going up the stairs again but something held her wrist.
She opened her mouth to protest but she was back on the couch she stood up from, with Aziz towering over her.
"We have to talk, Lexi, I have a lot to say to you and I need you to listen."
"What do you want to say, Aziz? Tell me what you have to say, is it how you have a child with that woman and never told me about it, or how she was the first and last woman you are in love with?"
"I don't have any child with her, Lexi!" He snapped.
"What?"
"It was all a setup, the child isn't mine, she lied to break us apart," Aziz ruffled his hair, and stared intently at Lexi. "There was no child, it was all made up."
Lexi huffed and stared back at him. "Was your feeling for her made up too?" She asked and he fell silent. Lexi smiled weakly.
"I thought as much," her voice sounded so weak like she was going to cry again. "You know what hurts the most? Having to find out you have a past like this from her," she sniffed.
"I was plain and honest with you, I told you everything... absolutely all about me and you can't be honest with me?" She snapped at him.
"It was your choice to tell me everything about yourself, I see no reason why I am mandated to tell you all about myself when this..." He gestured between them, snapping.
"All this is a one-time thing," Lexi chuckled even though her heart is being shattered all over.
“Of course… why would I forget all the night and day of passion meant nothing to you?” She cried. “I am the stupid one… for thinking the dinners, dates, and every time you pampered me is because you care,” she turned away from him so he wouldn't see her tears.
“I told you from the start that there should be no emotion involved… why the fuck are you angry over something that happened in the past!?
“Don't you get it?” She yelled, the tears falling now. “I am fucking in love with you,” Aziz reared back as if he had been slapped. Lex watched as his face became void of emotion and his eyes grew darker.
“You cannot be in love with me,” he shook his head as if to clear the thought. “I told you I don't do love,” his eyes looked hollow as if there was no life in them
“And that is another lie… you believe in love and that is why you fell in love with Lena--”
“—Stop,” Aziz yelled.
“You must have loved her so much that when she broke your heart you decided you will never open up your heart to any other ladies apart from her--”
“—Stop!”
“--You fuck around as a way to get over her, you lie to yourself that you don't care anymore. Yet you share your body with different ladies but you can never share your heart with them… you know why?” Aziz glared at her, his expression turning deadly with each passing second. “Lena will always have that piece of you with her forever, you will only love her and no one else.
“You do love Aziz, your heart has just decided it would only be her, the first and the last,” she turned away from him then and walk into her room, leaving Aziz to stare after her.
