Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee Chapter 171
171-When Love Is Too Much To Handle
Thiago had taken me out to the mountains to sit down with me and watch the beautiful cloud-filled sky.
"I noticed something when you talked about your mother." I started the conversation since we had been sitting in silence and not really talking. He had his arm wrapped around my body if he let go I will fall flat on the ground.
My declining health had scared me to life.
'Tell me what did you notice?" the way he asked me seemed urgent. He must be really curious to talk about his parents and somehow get to know them.
"You said you cannot see or hear anything about your mother as if you are cursed? Does that mean you have never seen your mother or you don't remember her?" it took me a lot of courage and thinking to ask him that question. I didn't want to hurt him by reminding him of anything painful. It was just so that I can understand his situation.
"You are right. I cannot and don't remember her face. However, I do carry a picture of her in my wallet just in case someday I wake up and I am able to see her again," he brought his black wallet out and handed it over to me.
"Hey, maybe you can tell me how she looks? I mean, I could have asked the beta of my pack but I never wanted to know it from anybody else." suddenly, he began to feel excited.
"Sure! I can do that," I grabbed the wallet to see the photo. I have already collected words to use until I saw the picture.
"Who gave you this picture?" that shakiness in my voice went unnoticed thankfully
"I don't remember the lady's name. But there was someone outside the courthouse once. She was a lovely lady, she gave me this." Thiago smiled to himself as he waited for me to add my words to describe his mother.
"How is she?" Thiago inquired impatiently. I just don't know what kind of sick joke it was but tears had formed in my eyes watching him get all excited.
It was indeed his mother's picture. But the time when she had already died. It was a picture of her dead body
"She is gorgeous!" I forced a smile onto my lips and lied to him. I knew if I told him the truth he will become more restless. Let him get comfortable in a lie for now and later I can help him somehow.
"She has your beautiful eyes and hair," I added, watching him tear up but smile at the same time.
I instantly put the wallet away. He held it in his hands as he stared at the picture without having the ability to see it and then smiled some more.
"I'm afraid of losing you!" the smile from his lips disappeared when he raised his face and watched me this time.
"You are never losing me," I reassured him but there was a reason he was saying that. And I learned it from his face.
"Enya! You have grown weak in the past few days. It's scary to me. I might seem fine above the surface but I'm scared. I don't want to lose you," the way he said that and then held my hand just to kiss the back of it and then place it over his heart just melted away the glaciers of harsh memories in my heart.
"I love you, Enya!" he whispered, tears streaming down his eyes," And that's why I have to do something." as he said those words, the smile from my face faded away.
"You asked for me?" Lazio appeared out of nowhere but it seemed as if he had been called in by Thiago.
"I need to speak to you both," Thiago freed my hand but I grabbed hs hand instantly. I didn't have a good feeling about this.
"Thiago what is going on?" i inquired from him with a rough pulsating heart. I don't even know if I was ready to hear what he has to say but I gave him a chance.
*Ever since the doctor said all that, I have been thinking- eyes from me.
Thiago was constantly trying to free his hand out of my grasp while stealing
*Thinking about what? she said some words and then gave me medicine. Why is there a need to think about it again?" I raised a concern, panicking inside my heart.
"The thing is, we can try to run from reality but we cannot go too far. Enya! it has to be done this way." Thiago murmured in his mouth. When I shared a glance with Lazio, I realized even he has no idea what Thiago was planning to do.
"After thinking a lot and considering how your health is - decaying. I have made a decision that — you should accept Lazio," the moment those words escaped his lips, my heart seemed to have stopped working.
I didn't know how else to respond to it except to pull away from Thiago and then look at the both of them one by one.
