A Love Too Corrupt

§*Chapter 35*§

Constantine carried Anyae up the stairs and into their bedroom. She had stopped crying and was now just staring blankly into space. He carried her over to the bed and laid her down on it then left to go run her a bath. She was beginng to scare him a little. She just looked so lost...nothing at all like the Anyae he had come to know and love. This Anyae was deathly silent and her eyes held so much sadness and pain. He wanted to get rid of it, he wanted to take her pain away but he knew all to well that there was only so much he could do. Sometimes people just needed to be left to grieve...

When he ran her bath he laid her out a towel and a pair of briefs with an oversized tee. Anyae was curled up, laying on her side when he came in. Picking her up Constantine carried her into the bathroom and sat be on the bathroom sink.

"Undress."

She moved slowly and when he turned his back she got into the tub. He grabbed a loofah and wet it then started then to bathe her with it. She finally looked him in his eyes but he ignored her gaze and kept at his task. Her hair had become wet and slightly knotted so he put in some type of hair moisturizer and picked up a comb. He combed out and rubbed her hair thoroughly with the moisturizer.

Anyae didn't complain and once he finished he left and got her the towel and her clothes. She grabbed them and stepped out. When he left the bathroom she dried off and got dressed.

He's being so sweet....

Constantine drained the tub and led Anyae back into the bedroom. There he brushed her hair and put it up into a bun for her. He still had yet to look at her though. He froze the moment she laid her hand on his arm before he could leave the room.

"Where are you going?"

"To my office. Why what's wrong?"

Anyae pulled him closer towards her. "Don't leave me..."

Constantine hugged her and kissed the top of her head, "I'm not leaving you Lotus. I just have to make a few calls and then I'll come right back. Okay?"

"Okay."

She let him go and lay back on the bed with a huff.

* In the office *

(Phone call:

"Hello?"

"Dominic. It's me look I'm going to need your help."

"Of course but with what?"

"I'll meet you in Maui to tell you, I'm not too comfortable saying this over the phone."

"Okay when are we meeting?"

"Tomorrow."

"What time?"

"I'll tell you when we land."

"Ciao my friend."

"Ciao.") End of call.

"Con?"

Constantine turned around and found Anyae standing by the door.

"Are...are you coming?"

"Yes baby. Go back in the room."

Anyae turned and went back into the bedroom without a word. Constantine went downstairs and fixed her a bowl of frosted flakes.

When he got back in the room he gave her her cereal and lay beside her on the bed. "Wanna watch a movie?"

"Yeah.."

"Ok."

They both settled down to watch Sixth Sense.

"Constantine? "

"Mm?"

"Thank you...."

He smiled and kissed her forehead, opting not to say anything just yet. For now he was content just cuddling up with her to a good movie. Though he couldn't quite admit he wanted to be this way with her forever, damn the agreement. But would she feel the same way and was it too soon to confess to her?
