POV AKIRA"Take them back, Selena. The most important thing is to have you here and if it's not possible, they can't make it up to me" Richard displays the diamonds and I am dumbfounded.So, I wasn't wrong when I defended their true intentions and friendship?"How nice, Richard, to know that I wasn't so wrong about you" I reply to Richard, still a little incredulous about his attitude."See you someday, Selena, in case an upcoming farewell is not possible! We will be leaving soon" He says a sullen goodbye, and quickly, at the pace his condition allows, returns to the interior of the residence."I'm sorry Selena, my son is suffering immensely from this separation. Give him time" Mr. Rockfeller justifies what he considers nothing courtly for a knight like his son and compensates me, guiding me to the door."Yes, I believe so now, and unfortunately I cannot reciprocate" I understand Richard's feeling, because that is what I live with Alfred at present."In the big city, love is built, no
POV ALFRED "They will live happily ever after!" I spoke at the behest of anger and wounded pride, not that I wanted Selena to walk into the Rockfellers' mansion and have the door shut so hard along with the feeling that it would be hard to open it again to get her out. I would not wait for her any longer when I had already done so for ten minutes, hiding behind the wall. Selena had just been a finished story, however, I am reminded that the good ones always fall into the wheel to be told again and again. So, I wouldn't deny myself one last stop, a far way from our turbulent present. The past is more affectionate with the disappointed and moving on to a place where my memories are joyful and uncontaminated by Selena's skepticism with Skyfall or her schism with the Rockfellers. A place where we could not guess what the future awaited us beyond being free like water that does not block before stones, even though they are precious. So a waterfall at the end of a trail that would t
POV ALFRED"Selena, you have me so addicted that I can't even imagine the water walking down your body unattended by my touch..." I am jealous of the smallest things that come between us, starting with her still soaking wet body and the remnants of her clothes that need to be stripped off to be skin to skin.It is ungrateful of me to complain, however, when I experience the touch of her breasts rubbing against the fabric of my shirt and my fingers reciprocate with teasing contact across her face until I reach her lips to kiss her one more time before my mouth devours her for other recantations. "Mine, mine, mine..." I repeat endlessly the same way I steal for myself lingering kisses from her lips."Only yours, with all my heart and soul, Alfred..." Selena declares herself and this coming out of her mouth touches my heart. And for the moment, everything I had once had with others seems to be mere instants, because I am now almost discovering what pleasure served with love feels like.
POV AKIRA SELENA "Look at me, Alfred! It's me Selena" I don't understand why he has his eyes closed. "No, you will leave if I wake up. You are my Akira Selena..." He hugs me tight and I don't understand what is happening. "Alfred, it's not a dream. I am here" I squeeze his cheeks so that he wakes up and faces me, looking into my eyes. Which is a bad choice, because the Alfred who threw me out returns.... "Selena?! What are you doing here?" He rejects my touch, and his humor fades to give way to the angry man he becomes when he speaks their name . " Where are the Rockfellers? Is this a trap?""No, Alfred. They are not the monsters that everyone thinks they are ..." I would like to make him understand, however, his look is unfriendly and he threatens to leave and I don't intend to lose him again. So I try to correct my speech as briefly as possible: " I only said that because they didn't want the stones, Alfred. They were the ones I threw into the water and hit your head. But
POV RICHARD"How can you be sure Selena will give news from wherever she goes?" I question my inconsequential father, who lights up a cigar in a patient's room.I am not a big fan of this practice, but now that I am going to be a Billionaire, it will do my image some good to smoke one and stop being a little boy recently out of college with idealistic dreams of changing the world when in my pocket is the real force that moves the world: money."Give me one, Dad!" I ask and he doesn't object to my request. The annoying thing would be my nurses who have already banned my drinks, and the cigar will be the new item added to the list. "The sure thing is us doing it. I have sent a man to follow her. If she goes back to Skyfall, it will be as we agreed. If she goes on to the little town in the South, we'll make her life so hell there that she won't think twice about coming back here and begging on her knees that you reconsider your request" He assures and I am more at peace that we are alw
POV RICHARDThe horse does the feat of less than two hours to Skyfall. Which no doubt gave us the advantage of being the first to arrive, and the displeasure of having to wait for them, me sitting in a precarious chair, inside a hut that looks more like a little tree house made for children to play in during the summer.Both my guard and I are in Akira Selena's house. We were welcomed by her mother on our unexpected visit and the impression I got was that she was waiting for us, or maybe I'm just paranoid and sweating cold because they are huge wolves and in the slightest carelessness would devour us.A dread that is assuaged by the serenity that the lady prepares a tea, which I would rather die of thirst than taste it, while Selena's silly father, remains silent from when we set foot here."Will she be long yet?" I break the silence as I notice, through the curtain made of animal skin, that it is beginning to darken. "The answer, you have her, Richard. She left here to go to your
POV AKIRA SELENA"What is it, Selena?" Alfred stares at me and his lips open in a smile to mask it."I had the feeling someone was lurking there..." I decide to speak the truth.We begin a new chapter of our lives today and it will be without lies."I'll see!" His brave spirit wants to come into play and it has to be me holding his hand to bring back his body which is where I want to be."Never mind, Alfred, not when we can use that time to enjoy it some more..."My fingers tickle his arm in an attempt to relax him."That was crazy!" He says smiling, but I can feel all his nervousness."Too late for regrets, agree to marry me or I will pierce your eye with an arrow" I grab his neck with both my hands, emphasizing my warning of death."Selena the Lioness or would that be a she-wolf?" He doesn't take me seriously. "Try it, Alfred!" My half-closed eyes are my final warning to him."You know I would never leave you, I would cross unknown lands to find you, you are my destiny and that is
POV ALFREDThere had to be a detail that sabotaged this perfect moment of our naked lovemaking in the middle of nature, in which our moans mingled with the sound of the birds, while Selena discovered herself so wild in my arms.I confess that on the river and on the way, as delightful as our conversations about our future were and hearing from her mouth all the plans I had devised for the two of us, unfortunately an agony did not leave my heart.For the first time, I will not blame her insecurity, but rather the fear that I feel and that I also saw in her eyes no matter how much she smiled.I am convinced that it was not just any figure, but undoubtedly a white man at the behest of the Rockfellers.Richard is not the type to give up, and guided by his father, they are more stubborn than a fox. And to avoid the ironies of fate or planned by them. For me, I would get married tomorrow. But, Selena is right, she would be the wife of an Alpha and deserves all the distinction that goes with
