Ch 9: Memories
Its been 3 days since she last heard form him.
1 since her father told her he knew.
124 phone calls, hours of collected pacing and millions of moments of denial later Liliana finally accepted that her father had him.
Enzo was nowhere else to be found.
Depressed and laying in bed she began to swim through vivid memories...
They ware sitting on the beach.
Talking, laughing, cuddling, doing anything normal couples would do.
Lost in their own world not even noticing that as the sun began to go down.
They were blanketed in hues of a beautiful gold orange sunset.
Still lost in their world, they witnessed nothing as the moon began ascending into the night sky.
Oblivious to the cold they talked on, finally coming out of their reverie when they made a fire and spent the night under the stars.
Her mind drifted...
Liliana sat up in bed.
Sweat still beading on her exposed body. Next to her lay Enzo.
His eyes open and staring at the ceiling.
Their breaths were starting to regulate again.
"Thank you for everything, Enzo," so softly spokena pause...did he hear her?"
You should know something... I love you," there was conviction in his voice.
His was tone steadfast and his heart could be felt out upon every eyes wide open, Liliana was shocked.
She had heartless flings before, but love?
That...never crossed her mind.
"I......I love you too" shaky...but she said must have known, cause he was sleeping with a smile.
...that beautiful smile...
/That's it/...she thought to herself.../Its time to take him back/...
It was morning now, and the Ringleader rose from her bed.
Stern cold determination in her eyes.
