Dimmi Perché Zio: Prologue
-:-:-:-
I blinked, trying to understand what my father just said. I can't believe what he just told me.
To never see Tala again?
Why?
"Marie?" I shake my head.
"I don't understand Enrique, why would zio do that? –1-"
"You have to understand sweetie, this is all his choice," my 'mother' soothed placing a hand on my knee like a mother would do.
"But—why? Why is zio doing this? I don't get it," I continued giving my parents a concerned look. Oliver gave Enrique a hopeless sigh as Enrique nodded looking back down at me.
"Marie, your zio has made the decision, both he and Tala are separated," Enrique explained again.
"Well, I still don't agree with what he says. Tala is a good friend of the family and Kai wants us to lose contact, but—we won't do that. Don't worry Marie, we will still see him, just not as often," Oliver added sadly.
I shook my head stubbornly.
"But who is this new woman?" I pestered folding my arms over my chest.
"Kai met her at work. She already has a son of her own and is well willing to marry your zio. Your zio wants kids and you know Tala cannot give him that no matter how much he loves Kai," Enrique soothed.
"And how much does Kai love Tala?" I huffed. "They've been together longer than I even became apart of this family," I added haughtily.
"A lot—"
"Then why did he get rid of him!" I whined cutting off my father. Neither of my parents answered. Huffing I walked up out of the living room and burst through the blue coloured doors into my room to clear my head.
Plopping myself on my queen sized bed I bring my head to my pillow and stretched out my legs in a horizontal split position, like I was doing the splits.
"Tala?…What happened?"
I asked myself.
-:-:-:- Flashback -:-:-:-
"Hi there," a kind smile graced the adult's lips as he greeted me. Standing at a large height he bends down a little to reach out his hand to shake mine.
His crystal blue eyes stare into my hazel eyes letting me read him like a book.
He wants to be friends.
"Hi," I reply uneasily slowly giving him my hand. He grasps it firmly, but gentle, and shakes it lightly. I liked the way he held my hand. A light smile tugs my lips and I see that it's making him smile too. Releasing my hand he reaches up to briefly brush away bright red strands out of his face then looks down at me proudly.
"Shy aren't you?" my cheeks tingle and I just stare at him with a timid smile. "Aww no need to be that way around me," he winked flashing his icy eyes at me. "My name is—" he couldn't finish properly introducing himself to me since a taller man has walked up behind him and wrapped arms around the friendly redhead.
"Why are you bothering my niece?" he chuckled looking down at me.
"I was not!" he shushes him.
The taller man's cheeks are painted with blue triangles and his hair is a really dark gray colour, with a dark navy blue at the back. His skin is quite pale like the redheaded man before me and shows off his rather intriguing colour of eye. They look like a really dark blood colour. Sort of like when I stabbed myself by accident with a knife and the blood just bubbled up on my lightly tanned skin and was just a thick dark red colour.
"Hi, Marie," he smiles down at me, his eyes twinkling tenderly at me.
He knows my name, so papa must have already told him who I am.
"Hi," I reply. His smile softened.
"My name is Kai, your uncle. And this is Tala, my boyfriend," he smirked kissing the redhead's cheek. I giggled at their kiss and Tala blushed looking away from zio Kai before grinning back down at me.
"Yeah, and I'm your uncle too," Tala grinned.
I gave him a quizzical look. Papa Enrique told me that I only had two uncles, Kai and Johnny. I already met Johnny, and this is Kai. He never said I had a Tala for an uncle.
"But Enrique told me I only had two uncles," I frowned. Kai laughed.
"Tala's your aunt then," zia? –2-
"Hey!" Tala pulled out of Kai's embrace placing his hands on his hips and slanted his weight to one foot.
"Why am I the woman?" he questioned Kai as his eyes narrowed heatedly.
"'Cause babes," Kai smirked pulling Tala back into a hug. Tala doesn't seem to like the hug since he just stands still, eyes still narrowed.
"Auntie?" both turned to me and Kai laughed. Tala looked away seemingly upset.
"Zia Tala?" I questioned taking a step forward to my zio and his boyfriend looking up at them innocently. Tala unfolded his arms and gave me a warm smile.
"Names Tala, and you are?"
"Marie," I grin flashing him a smile in return.
-:-:-:- End of flashback -:-:-:-
Tears pricked my eyes. I miss Tala already. I didn't even say good-bye.
I let my eyes travel up my wall were I've made a collage of pictures throughout my life. My eyes catch red in quite a few places but I stop in the center, at the first picture taken with Tala.
He had me seated on his lap, his chin rested on my shoulder and his arms around me folded on my lap. He smiled while I grinned at the camera. I was put in a white dress, which I despised but Tala said that Kai had put him in a dress too and he hated it. I didn't really understand what the meaning behind the dress, or the reason for Tala to put on the dress was, but it was funny and made me feel a little better with wearing the damn thing.
It was expensive and made with such a soft material. Oliver kept fussing around me because I kept on wrinkling it. People took lots of pictures of me, all of which I didn't like very much. Too many flashing lights ya know?
Hmm…heh. I think I actually looked cute in that picture. My big hazel eyes staring at the camera, my hands clasped on Tala's and my curly brown locks rounded my face. The gold bracelet on my wrist…Tala got that for me.
Glancing to my left where my little jewellery box sat.
Was it still in there?
Crawling my way up to the head of my bed a reach out my hand to drag the rectangular box to me. Opening it my eyes scan over the scattered rings and earrings, and silver bracelets.
My eyes narrowed.
It's not in here.
-1- 'uncle' in Italian I hope
-2- 'aunt'
Author's note: new idea! Based with my relationship with my uncle at the moment. –Bows- it would be nice to know what you think ;D
o! And I don't know what girl to pair up with Kai o.o she can't be a bitch, like a really nice and pretty woman. I don't know who to put with him –sweat drop- I was thinking Hilary o.O but then I thought "I hate her and she's annoying" so any other suggestions? It can also be an OC n.n I'll give ya credit!
