Impossible Love {Dieclari}

Chapter 27 - Who to choose?

Soon Diego's doctor came and told him after examining him again that he has to stay for a week in the hospital and after going home he'll still need help, but he'll be fine.

This made me worried again, but then I remembered that he has Annalise there.

But wait... She wasn't even here yet....

- Uhm... Diego? - I mumbled.

- Yes, beautiful? - he said which immediately made me blush.

- Did Annalise actually come to see you since you're here?

- No, she didn't - he replied firmly - But I don't need her to get better if you're with me - he added with a warm smile that made me smile too.

- Diego... Are you seriously working on to make me blush all the time?! - I groaned as I was blushing deeply - Anyway... Shouldn't she be here? I mean... She's your fianceé after all...

- But she's no longer going to be.

- Huh?

- I know that maybe you don't feel the same way about me as I feel about you, but I realized... That I can't get married to her when I don't love her that way...

This made me happy for some reason.

No... It made me happy because I love him... But... I can't tell him now... I'm going to leave to Italy for months! I'd die if I should leave him just like that...

- Wait... If you're going to break up with her then who will take care of you when you go home?

- I'll ask a friend of mine to help me out... Don't worry - he smiled then he caressed my cheek - You just focus on your work in Italy... Okay?

- Okay... - I mumbled as I held his large hand in mine.

- I love you, Clari... And I always will... - Diego whispered softly.

At this moment I wanted to reply when I heard someone clearing his throat behind me and Diego instantly freeze too.

I turned around to see Rodrigo standing at the door, watching us.

- Can we talk for a bit? - he asked.

- Yeah... Yeah, sure - I nodded hesitantly.

- You can go, if you want - said Diego - The visitor time is about to finish anyway...

I smiled a bit weakly and nodded when we all heard a scream and Annalise stormed into the room.

- Diego! God, Diego! You scared me so much! - she cried as she hugged onto Diego tightly and at this moment I didn't know what to say, or do so I simply left the room.

Outside Rodrigo seemed really sad.

Did he actually watch us the whole time?

- Clari, you know I love you... - he started - And I want to see you happy all the time...

- Of course, I know - I mumbled - And I love you too...

- I believe you do... But not the way you love him... - he said as he looked towards Diego who was talking to Annalise at this moment, but he was looking at us from the corner of his eyes.

- Rodrigo...

- You know you need to decide soon... That who do you really love and who... That who do you want to be your boyfriend because I feel like I'm not good enough for you...

- Don't say that... - I muttered in a shaky voice and I felt like I'm about to cry.

The way he was talking made me so sad and feel so guilty... Because I really didn't want him to feel this way because I love him so much...

- This is the truth and you know that too - he smiled softly at me then kissed my head - I want you to be truly happy... And if you're happier with him then be with him...

- I'm not going to have any boyfriend then... - I sighed, looking down - I'm leaving soon anyway...

Rodrigo was hesitating, but then he lifted my chin up and kissed me softly on the lips.

- Sadly - he said - But I wish you luck to the competition... You'll be amazing - he smiled again - You'll have to just focus on what you're doing and not me, or Diego...

- I can only focus on work if I know that you don't hate me for being so unsure and pathetic! - I cried and hugged him tightly.

- Do I look like I'm mad at you? - he asked, now rather playfully.

- No... - I giggled.

- Good! Now... How about we go and eat something? I'm hungry as hell!

- Good idea - I laughed then we headed off, leaving Diego and Annalise alone together which mad eme scared a bit, but knowing that Rodri doesn't mad at me makes me really happy.

But my problem is still up: Who's the better for me?

What if Diego doesn't break up with Annalise now and he's just playing with my feelings again?

If this is the thing then I'm better not caring about this anymore, but really focus on going to Italy and work on Notti Sul Ghiaccio.
