Chapter thirty-three
EMMA’S POV
God I was so ready, then he stops and I can see how his eyes had changed.
“Xavier?”
He kissed me then and pulls away, sitting up as I follow.
“Xavier, what’s wrong?”
“Get dressed.”
“What? Why? I thought…”
He shook his head and groaned making me stop.
“Antonio is here to claim you as his.”
I gasp and just then there was a knock at the door and my heart drops
“Remember that I love you.”
He then stands up and I try to take his hand, but he pulls away.
“I can’t be here if you choose him.”
I was about to open my mouth again when there was another knock on the door.
“Emma, it’s me, we need to talk.”
I stare at Xavier as he dresses, but I stop him before he walks out the door, looking into his eyes.
“It’s not what you think… I never…”
He stops me from speaking by placing a finger on my lips and pulls me to his chest.
“Just know that I love you and that I want nothing more than to be with you, but I know he holds a special place in your heart.”
I let out a cry.
“And I know it would be easier for you to choose him without having to work at it like you would with me, but know that I will take care of my baby no matter what you choose.”
I shake my head and look up to him.
“I’m sorry.”
He shakes his head and give me a gently kiss on the lips.
“Don’t be, it’s my fault. If I wasn’t such an idiot none of this would have happened.”
“No…”
“Yes baby girl, it is and I’m willing to take full responsibility for that.”
There was another knock which got him to pull away.”
“Go, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be at the main house until the rehearsal dinner then we can talk if you’re up to it. I love you.”
He gives me one last kiss that I hold onto until he pulls away and leaves.
‘He really does love you, you know. I saw it all.’
I nod and run grabbing his shirt on the way, but I’m only greeted by Antonio at the door.
“LUNA!”
He runs to me and picks me up into his arms.
“Oh Emma, I’m sorry, so sorry.”
I let out a sigh and can’t help but feel something for him.
“What are you doing here?”
“I just needed to see you, feel you and hear you.”
He then puts me down and wraps his hands around my neck bringing my head back to look into his eyes.
“Antonio…”
I started crying and shook my head.
“Emma…”
“You shouldn’t be here.”
