Perfect scars

Chapter 40

DIEGO

I took emelia down to the park, I had to apologise or I wouldn't have a chance with her. She was already angry with me for invading her 'space'. Woman are soooo dramatic sometimes.
"Are you going to talk?" She asks me angrily.
"Give me a damn minute!" I raise my voice.
"You said 5 minuets! So move" she sighed as we took a seat on a bench.
"I'm sorry" I blurt out.
"What?" She said surprised.
"I'm sorry, I was to hard on you" I repeat.
"Is that it?" She questioned.
"No. What happened yesterday will never happen again. And I don't want you to leave the penthouse. I know your only at your brothers but that feels like half the world away" I sigh.
"Diego.." she sighed.
"I'll make it up to you, I promise" I smile softly as I grabbed onto her hands. "I'll try to control myself when you make dumb decisions" I shrug and she lets out a laugh.
"Wow?" She rolls her eyes.
"Fine" I roll my eyes. "When you make decisions that I don't like" she giggles as she moves her face closer to mine. She kisses me softly and the moves her face away again. She was teasing me but I wasn't letting that happen, she stood up but before she could walk away from me I pulled her harshly towards me and slammed my lips onto hers.

I held onto her waist as her hands reached their way to my face. I could feel her smiling and that made me want her more. I knew that I had hurt her but no matter what happened, I could never let her go. I know emelia feels the same way, even if we both act like children sometimes. I love her more than anything else on this world.
"Does this mean you'll come back to the hotel?" I ask her.
"Mhm" she mumbles as I still held onto her.
"Please Just come back with me" I sigh and place my forehead onto hers.
"Fine, you big softy!" She chuckled as I lifted my head back up.
"I ain't no softly!" I roll my eyes.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night" she giggles.
"Watch what you say, volcana" I smirk.
"What are you going to do about it?" She rolled her eyes and in one swift motion I picked her up by her legs and carried her out of the park like a baby. Ain't nobody gonna call me a softy.

EMELIA

Later that night..
Rodrigo was fine with me coming back to the hotel. He was surprisingly calm about everything. He's normally the over protective brother type and would literally kill Diego but I think he's grown to the idea of my and him.
I was sat in my old room because Diego wanted me to move my clothes into his room? Dramatic much. Ever since I came to America, there's always been one person in the back of my mind and that was my dad. I missed him more than anything in this world. I haven't heard his voice in months and I know I could've just picked up the phone and called him. But I was scared to what he might think of me. I was pregnant with a gun traffickers baby! Yeah, don't think he'd be very proud. But I think now was the time to call him, I needed to know if he was okay. I quickly took my phone and clicked his number, I held my phone up to my ear and waited for it ring.
"Dad, Hello?" I sigh.
"E-emelia?" He replied.
"How have you been, dad?" I ask him.
"That's what I have to tell you, cupcake" he said but I could hear the strain in his voice.
"I can't believe your still calling me that" I giggle.
"Come on, this is serious" he sighed.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The doctors say I only have 2 months to live" He said as calm as possible.
"W-wha...what?" I say as I can feel water fill my eyes.
"They couldn't help me, emelia" he cried.
"I-I thought you had that big surgery?" I mumble as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"I did but there was nothing they could do" he sighed.
"I n-need to get you over here" I sob.
"Emelia..." He mumbled.
"No. Your coming here, I can't let you be there with mum" I demanded.
"Please don't do anything stupid, cupcake" he sighed.
"I'll get you over here by next week so you can be here for my birthday" I cried.
"I'll see you soon?" He cried softly.
"Yeah, see you soon, dad"I sigh as I put the phone down on the bed and look up to see Diego standing in front of me.

I stood up and threw my arms around him. He hugged me back tightly as tears streamed down my face. My dad...he was going to die and there was nothing I could do about it. I didn't want him back in Madrid, I wanted him here. He's safer here than he is there. I dig my face into Diego's shoulder, I just couldn't stop crying. It hurt that bad.
"Eli, I'm here" he said softly.
"He's going to die!" I sobbed.
"That's not your fault" he sighed while letting me go.
"It is my fault! I left him months ago and now look where that's got him" i shout angrily.
"Emelia, your dad was sick before you left Madrid. You didn't know this was going to happen" he smiled gently.
"I-it hurts..so bad" I cried as he brought me back into his embrace.
"I've got you, Okay?" He sighed.
I nod gently as he lets go and looks me directly in my eyes.
"Let's get you into bed" he smiled.
"Sounds good" I giggle softly. He whisked me up and carried me to our room like a baby. He placed me gently down in the bed and made sure I was comfy enough. He threw off his t-shirt and jumped into bed with his casual black shorts. I turned over to face him while he lay there smiling at me.
"What you smiling at?" I laugh.
"How gorgeous you look" He smirked.
"I do not look gorgeous right now" I roll my eyes before he takes his hand and places it on my cheek. He removes the mascara mark from under my eyes and smiled to himself.
"Your gorgeous to me no matter how you think you look" he smirked.
"Where has the diego went I met months ago?" I ask him.
"He's still here but he's changed slightly. A woman walked into his life and he knew straight away that he had to make her his, no matter how stubborn she was" he chuckled.
"Smooth" I smile softly.
"It's true, volcana. You've truly changed me for the better" he sighed.
"I love you, you know?" I say softly.
"I love you too" he smirked before kissing me gently. He pulls away but wraps his muscular arms around me. I didn't know how this happened but I am completely in love with Diego king.
