Chapter 1: Remember me?
-Hold me close, hold me tight, make me thrill, with delight; let me know where I stand form the start…I want you, I need you, I love you…With all my heart- sang Lehua as she kept some cookies with chocolate drops in a small container, remembering her fox's warm embrace.
-Every time, that you're near, all my cares disappear; darling you're, all that I'm living for… I want you, I need you, I love you… With all my heart- kept singing the pink streaked who as she walked out of the pack's house, with the container in hand, to meet Siris in the park.
That song of Wholvis Presley always made her think about him, and so she sang it from time to time; sometimes she liked to whisper the song to him just to see his smile, so beautiful, so sincere…
-Well I thought, I could live, without romance, until, you came, to me…-; the park was not so far; indeed, she was almost there. She didn't walk, she jumped.
- But now, I know, that I will go on, loving you eternally…-; yes, he was already there waiting…and there was another one…
This time Lehua didn't sang the rest of the song, but the lyrics kept going on in her head as she decelerated her walk, just to be witness of that other gurl getting closer to her fox, to touch his lips slightly…
"Would you please, be my own? Never leave me alone, cause I die, every time, we're apart… I want you, I need you, I love you…With all my heart"
And the song ended in her head as her heart beating seemed to stop too.
But before that gurl could do anything, Siris pushed her back gently, and this gave Lehua the chance to run and get to them.
-Excuse me, who are you? –asked Lehua with a smile, though she really didn't want to.
-Monique, and you are…? –asked the gurl, who after all was very pretty, and "well provided".
-On, none special, just Siris' wife- answered as if it didn't have importance.
-What? You must be kidding; you seem more like…his little sister! Come on; don't tell me that you left me because of her- said Monique putting her hands on her hips.
-Yeah, I did- says Siris holding Lehua by her waist; -and it's the best decision I could have ever done- he said grinning and biting Lehua's neck and making her giggle.
-Really? – Said Monique lifting an eyebrow; -We did it better than that…- she whispered, then she licked her upper lip; ignoring Lehua.
But Lehua didn't ignore her…
She took out a cookie and put it sharply into her mouth, making the gurl back off some steps as she spitted the cookie.
-Arg! Disgusting!
-I wish you to get poisoned –said Lehua grinning and waving good bye to Monique as she stormed away from them.
-I'm sorry that you had to see this…-said Siris some seconds later but Lehua didn't answer. She closed the container, gave it to him, and walked away too; leaving Siris stunned, but soon he followed her.
-Hey, it's ok now. There's nothing between us now- tried to explain the fox, but Lehua kept walking with her hands in fists.
-Don't ignore me; you know that it's true!
Suddenly she turned and made Siris to stop dead.
-I know it's true, but it's also true that it hurts me- she told him all blushed.
She was going to turn again and keep walking, but he swiftly grabbed her wrist and attracted her onto him, making her stare at him.
-No, let me go! –she said trying to keep her pride.
-Look at me: she means nothing for me, it's over- said Siris firmly making Lehua get astonished by his serious tone and the strength he used to grab her.
She then lowered her look as if she was assimilating the new information: It didn't have sense! Why Siris would leave so many good looking gurls and chose her? She! Who was kind of short, pale, with a younger gurl's face and a not so developed figure. Yet they had been married for some years, that was something that she always wondered whenever another gurl appeared between, and what really hurt was the feeling of not being good enough for him. The only thing that Lehua wanted was to be just what Siris wanted exactly, to please him that way, to make him happy; and when some of his ex's appeared from nowhere it made her wonder why did he chose her, again and again.
But none has been so close to kiss him… And this fact wasn't easy for her to assimilate and leave back right after it happened.
She pushed him back and she ran to the house pack and there to their room, an action very immature, but she needed to clear her mind.
Some minutes later, someone called to the door.
-Who is it? –she asked in a teary voice.
-It's me- said Siris; -Can I go in?
-What do you want?
-I want you
This was something she detested and loved about him: he always had amazing answers to fascinate and make her mind change.
She walked to the door and opened it, just to go back and curling up into a ball on the bed.
Siris walked in and sat on the bed and sighed.
-I will not lie to you: this will probably happen more times as long as I am me and I have a past.
-This is not strange since you're so wonderful- said Lehua with the same teary voice, but no tear came out.
-Yeah, but it seems that you don't realize that I'm only yours, just as I hope you're only mine- he said caressing her hair.
-Of course I am! And I do realize it, that's why I care so much when another one wants to take my place, because I really love you, and it makes me go mad their nerve to come back to you when they treated you so bad!
Siris smiled.
-What?
-No, nothing, it's just that you look so lovely that way! Especially when you seem wanting to kill somebody.
This finally made her smile too and she sat next to him and sighed.
He started caressing her hair again as she cuddled and hugged him.
-It's just…that I'm so afraid that one day one of them convinces you to leave me, and you decide to start again with her! And also I'm afraid that you come one day and tell me that you have found out that you still have feelings for that other and that you give me the stupid excuse "I'm leaving you because I don't want to hurt you" though you know you've already hurt me. And there's also the possibility that one day you don't come back, and decide to go… There are so many things that make me scared! And all of them can be summed up in the fact that I don't want to lose you, that I want you for me and by my side, because I'm sure that if you leave me you will kill the 90% of my heart, cause at least I would have Michelle…I'm not jealous, I am just scared.
A comprehension silence flooded the room as finally tears broke out silently from her eyes; and though they were silent it showed that her heart was really screaming at the top of its lungs.
Siris looked at her and softly and with a serious expression whipped her tears away. How he detested to see her cry, not even when she was crying of happiness, it was something that he didn't like to see, it was almost a sin that she could cry.
-That won't happen, my dear Lehua. You mean more to me than all of them together, and if we're together today is because I love you as I did also the day I asked you to be mine. Don't you see that this is real? And the love that we feel is real too, what else do I have to tell you to make you understand that you don't have anything to be afraid of?
-But she almost kisses you Siris! She almost did! And what would have happened if I didn't go there, huh? –she asked kind of upset, standing up from the bed.
-The same that today: nothing. For me there's only you and just you. Why you don't believe me? –he asked in a high tone and also standing up from the bed.
-Because I don't want to end up feeling as a fool for believing you if one day you leave me! You wouldn't be the first one on doing it.
-But that's why it was supposed that you chose me for, because I wouldn't hurt you, in any way as the others did with you! I am not them! I am the one who you know, and by now you should know me well and realize that the last thing I would do is hurting you!
His words left her astounded and echoed in her mind, touching every fiber of her heart. Suddenly she walked swiftly to him and hugged him tight, hiding her face on his chest as she talked:
-I'm sorry, for not believing you, and neither believing in me and feeling that I'm not good enough for you, because it's because of all that stupid thoughts and doubts of mine that I end up not letting me trust on you.
I'm sorry…- she said, and then she kissed him holding his face between her hands, looking for a signal of his forgiveness in it, and he didn't waited too much in giving her a positive answer.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
It took a month or so for another gurl to go and talk to Siris. This happened one day when the whole pack went to the cinema and as some of them, including Lehua, were buying pop corn, nachos and some other things, this gurl got to Siris, after being looking for him for some time.
-Hi Si! –she said hugging him. He simply pushed her away gently.
-Nicole, what have you come for?
-I thought that it would be nice if we watched a movie together, just as in the old times…- she said fitting a strand of her long hair behind her ear.
-No, I'm sorry, I've come with my friends and, don't get offended, but if you're planning on take back "the old times" it won't be possible.
-Oh don't be so negative, you're talking as if you were married!
-Well, the fact is that I am.
And as if she were one of those famous TV series actresses, she started to cry her eyes out.
-Why are you crying? Take- said Siris a bit shocked and giving her a tissue, pulling from her to an extreme so they didn't attract attention.
-Oh you still being so sweet!
-You say it because of the tissue? Oh, it's just that your make up is running.
-I knew you would realize about my make up! Do you like it?
-What are you talking about? Look, I'm sorry but what happened before can't happen again, we are over and if I'm ok that was your decision then.
-But I know now that you're the one I need to be happy, you are unique and such a good person! Please, give me a chance- she said grabbing his shirt.
-No Nicole, leave me alone!
-Please, can't you just leave your wife and start a new life with me? The two of us together, and meet new places, and share our feelings, being eternally happy…
-I'm afraid that he can't- said suddenly Lehua from behind with a bag of pop corn; -Hi, I'm Lehua, and you are…? –she asked gently.
-Nicole...
-Well Nicole, I don't want to offend you but we are together right now and I don't think that we get divorced or something, so would it be too much asking you to leave him and his shirt? If you've ever ironed then you should know how it is to take away the creases.
-You don't know him as much as me- said giving Lehua a look, and then she turned and started caressing Siris' cheek; -He's so awesome!
Then Siris grabbed her hand and pushed Nicole away.
-Don't touch me anymore- he said.
-I didn't have to know him so much to know that he's awesome, it just took me the first time we talked to realize it.
-Siris, you can't leave me for her! She's mocking about me, are you going to leave her?
-But why don't you face me and talk to me? Tell me –said Lehua giving the pop corn to Siris (who started eating them as if he were watching a movie) and grabbed Nicole's arms; - how would you feel if you were married with him and not one, but five or ten women came one by one, from time to time, with the only purpose of getting Siris for them? How would you feel if you saw them grabbing him or trying to kiss him? How would you feel if you were me?
-But I knew him from before, I liked him.
-But it was your fault leaving him, and in a bad way. I know how you feel, but there's nothing that you can do. All of us have to pay our faults, soon or later, and if he's with me right now as he has been for the last twelve or more years, it's because he has seen that I won't do what you did to him.
The gurl stopped crying and looked down.
-Then…I'm sorry for making you this…-Nicole said to Siris; -You're lucky to have someone to love and who loves you so much; and… Lehua- she said stretching her hand; -you can count that at least one of those "others" won't come back again and try to get him. After all, it's been a long time since then…
Lehua stretched her hand to and shook hands with her, their looks also meeting.
Then Nicole went away and they saw her going out of the cinema.
Just then Lehua rested her back on the wall and slid down to sit on the floor and sighed.
Siris sat next to her and after some seconds: -Pop corn? – He said handing her the bag.
Lehua smiled softly and took one.
-I'm sorry that this happened…- started Siris.
-No, you told me this could happen again. It would be unfair to blame you for nothing more than being irresistible.
He smiled and they stayed in silence. Then:
-That's something that I like about you, that even if you're angry or sad, or just upset as you're right now, you're able to smile, maybe softly, but you can…
Then Lehua sat between his legs resting her back on his chest.
-You're more comfortable than the wall- she said resting her arms on his knees as if he was an armchair.
Then he held her waist and kissed cheek.
-Then we should stay here, so that you can still being comfortable- said Siris.
Lehua laid her head back on his shoulder and kissed his jaw, as she started singing:
-Hold me close, hold me tight, make me thrill, with delight, let me know where I stand from the start…
And then Siris sang along with her as so many other times: -I want you, I need you, I love you…With all my heart
