CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
“I think they need time. Come on, guys! Let’s give them space,” Dane said.
The door opened and they went out one by one. When Yara and I were alone I held her hand and kissed her while continuing to cry. I can’t explain how I feel.
I can’t believe she’s awake. For three months she’s been in a coma I asked for nothing but to wake her up. I wanted to tell her everything. I thought about a lot of things that I wanted to tell her but it all disappeared because I feel happy now.
I am so fucking happy right now. I don’t know what I’m going to feel at first, all I could do is cry while holding her hand.
“Zeus.” I did not answer. I just cried and cried while holding her hand and kissing it. I really thought she would never come back. I thought I would wait a few more years for her. “Hey, Zeus.”
“I thought I lost you. I thought you would leave me without me telling you I love you.” I am a fucking fool to wait for this to happen before I will realize that I love her. I knew then that she is important to me but why didn’t I think it was love.
“Is what you said really true, Zeus? You already love me?”
“Yes, and not just love. But, I love you so much. I love you so much, baby and I can’t bear for you to leave me. I don’t know what to do.”
“Zeus.” She cried and a series of tears fell. “I’ve been waiting for you to tell me that. I’m glad to hear from you that you love me too. It’s worth risking my life to give you the twins.”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I just said it now. I’m sorry if I waited to get to this point before I realized that I needed you. That I love you.”
“No, Zeus. It’s worth the wait.” I wiped away her tears. “Because I know you’re sure about your feelings now. I’m glad to hear that even if it takes a long time at least now you love me.”
“I am sure about my feelings for you, baby. I don’t want to lose you, I don’t want you to get hurt. I want to spend my whole life with you and the twins. I put you at the top of my priority. I guess that is enough reason for me to say that I love you.”
“Zeus, there is no significant description of love. Because we have our own ways how to show our love and how we handle it. You know what is sure about love?” she asked. “When you’re happy when she’s happy, and you’re hurt when she’s hurt.”
“And I feel that towards you, Yara. I hurt when you’re hurt and I’m happy when you’re happy.”
“Zeus, I love you so much.” She cried again so I cried too. “If you only knew, you were really the only one who was my strength in all the trials that went through me. You were the only one, Zeus even if I wasn’t with you. I tried to survive despite all the trials because I hoped that one day we would meet.”
“Yara, don’t leave me again, huh? Don’t disappear again, please. Please stay.”
“I will stay, as long as you don’t push me again.”
“That won’t happen. I will keep you in my life. I can’t afford to lose you, baby. I can’t.”
“I’m sorry if I’m not perfect for you, Zeus. I’m sorry if I have so many lapses and imperfections.”
“You’re not perfect cause you’re more than a perfect, baby. For me, you’re more than enough. As long as you’re with me I don’t need anything. All I need is your love.”
“Even if I don’t know how to cook?”
“I don’t care if you don’t know how to cook because I can cook for you. I need a companion, not a slave. Well, except a bed slave, a possessive one.” I laughed saying.
“I am willing to be your bed slave, master.” She also smiled. “How long did I sleep?”
“You’ve been in a coma for exactly three months now. The twins, celebrated their third month today.”
“That’s why your friends are here. How’s the twin? Are they ok?”
“Yeah, they’re ok. They look exactly like you. I’ll get them to bring them here.” I first helped her sit up and lean back. I kissed her hand and went outside to pick up the twins. I returned carrying the twins in both arms. When I entered, she started crying until I sat next to her.
“Thunder, Lightning,” she called to the twin and I placed it on her thigh. “Mommy is here, babies.” She gently caresses their face. “I’m sorry, if mommy hasn’t taken care of you for a few months, babies. But I’m so proud of your dad because he takes care of you.” Yara looked at me and I wiped away her tears.
“You said they look like me?” she asked. “It’s only been three months but it’s obvious who they look like you. I haven’t gotten anything.”
“Nothing? I’ll always see them like you.”
“Zeus, thank you for giving me a family.”
“No, baby, thank you for giving me the most precious gift. Our babies.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“I will be a good partner, I promise I will pour all my love, time, and attention to you and to our kids, Zeus.”
“I know you will be a good mother, baby.”
“I love you, Zeus,”
“I love you, too, I love you so damn much.”
“I’m happy. I still can’t believe that you love me. I hope it’s not a dream that just happened to me. Because I’ve been waiting a long time to hear that from you.”
“This is not a dream, baby. I really love you.”
“Then, I am so happy, Zeus, I can’t explain my feelings right now. All I know is I am happy. We have our baby, I’m awake and I can take care of both of you. And now, ay I heard you say the words I’ve been waiting for so long. To say that you love me.”
“I never love someone, Yara. I love no one but you and I know you are the last.”
“Me too, Zeus, you and only you.” I kissed her on the lips when Lightning cried. I think the youngest was trapped so she cried but when we separated we saw her smile even with her eyes closed. “Oh my god, this one looks like a naughty baby ah!” Yara hissed.
“Looks like mother’s inheritance.” I laughed saying. “Yara.”
“Hemp?” I touched her face and caressed her. I smile at her. Maybe I’m going crazy because I have nothing else to do now but hug her, kiss her, and look at her. I can’t explain but I’m happy and I always want to see her. “Zeus.”
“I am so fucking deeply in love with you, Yara. I love you so damn much.” I see her smile.
“I love you too, Zeus.” This is the best day of my life. That I told the woman I loved how much I loved her and I wanted to be with her for life.
