Wait- as if guided by instinct, he placed the locks preventing her from leaving-. Can I ask you a question?- she thought about it for a few seconds before nodding-.Why did you leave the company, and why did Kaida disappear after creating her own company, and What were you doing there tonight and why didn't you write to me all this time?
-Wow- she smiled-, do you want the truth?"
-Yep, please.
-It's a long story.
Vick snorted, throwing his hands up in the air in exasperation. She laughed, that sound, that simple sound meant the whole world to Vick, he watched her for a few seconds, the sparkle in her eyes, the way her cheeks lifted when she smiled.
-I never wanted to leave the company. Creating another one was the only option to stay sane. I didn't want to be there tonight either, but I'm glad I was and... if I had contacted you in these years maybe, maybe you would have been the body in that house.
-Are you part of the gold?
-Not anymore- she responded, gritting his teeth-. You said a question, so... bye.
-Call me- he said and everything about it sounded like a plea-. Text me. Yell at me. Chase me. Kill me if you want, but please don't disappear again.
-Why are you doing this? All I do is push you away, over and over again. And you just come back, again and again. Why?
-I don't know- he scratched his neck nonchalantly-, I've had a feeling since I met you.
-Love?
-Yep- he nodded-, but there's more... I think, I feel like everything you do, from getting on that bus that night, aren't things you do exactly because you want to do them. And that kinda bothers me.
-You don't have to take care of me. I'm fine.
-I want to take care of you, it's a big difference - he smiled-. Anyway, it's late, go to sleep. If we meet again, please talk to me, even for a few minutes. Okay?
-Okay- she accepted. Vick got out of the car to open the door for him. Kira stayed there for a few seconds.
-Don't go to work in the morning- she left her hand on his chest for a few seconds, just above his heart, and then she left.
Vick saw her go up the hill leaning on the hood of the car. He sighed, taking his hand to where Kira's was seconds ago.
-Dad- he said, looking at the stars in the sky-, you said that destiny had great things for me, but I'm sorry... because if she's not in it then I don't want it.
