His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 58

"Fayette, I just want to know why."

"Alto...let me tell you something," there was silence and I knew he was bracing himself for it, setting up a wall within his heart for my next words, "You're all my heart talks about Alto. I would choose you above anyone else. I would choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality. I'd find you and I'd choose you over and over. I could have every inch of your body pressed to mine and I would say 'pull me closer."

He took a shuddering breath as I continued, pressing on with whatever form of poetry I could to console his wounded mind.

"You are my sunshine. You are my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know, Alto, how much I love you."

There was silence on the other end as I waited for Alto to respond.

"It's been...tiring without you. It's been harder than I thought it would be Fayette."

I take a shaky breath as he continues, "I have doubts and questions. Agony that I can't keep you safe. Who are you talking to? Are you missing me? Do you want me still? Do you even remember me or has someone better come to claim you."

"Never," I said, "no one could ever claim me but you."

Alto gave a small laugh, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my outburst."

I sighed into the phone.

"I'm coming."

"Wait what?"

"I can't bear to be apart from you anymore. And I need you safe. You are my sunshine Fayette. I'm tried of these grey days."

I smiled into the phone, "When?"

"I'll leave in three days. I don't care if Father says no. I'm coming. I want to see you."

I laugh out loud as the sudden rush of warmth flows into me.

"I've missed you so much," I said.

"I have to my little sunshine," I smile at the nickname.

"I love you Alto."

"I love you Fayette."

The line stayed open before I heard the audible click of Alto hanging up.

I turned to Jasmine and Yasmine.

"EEEEKKKKKK!" Yasmine grabbed my shoulders and violently shook them as Jasmine watched smiling.

"I can't believe he's coming here!"

In my moment of blissful happiness I let Yasmine grab my hands and twirl me around the room- excited about the happy surprise. I ignored the pain that shot through my body- basking instead in the happiness.

There are parts of me that

Jasmine and Yasmine stood with worried eyes but I waved them away.

"I just forgot," I said.

"It pains you when you try to speak of it."

I couldn't even nod, in fear that another pain would come to me.

"I...like doing this. I want to do this," I chose my words carefully as I tried to explain that this was who I am.

I was the girl who loved to work in the late hours of the night, bending over textbooks and thinking of solutions. I was the girl who was obsessed with the outcome. I loved the work and the science involved. Part of me had already acknowledged that I had not created x-bane only for my father. I had created it because once I started, I couldn't stop.

"It is not yours to tell," I warned, hoping they would understand my meaning.

"Fayette we can't stand to see you like this..." Yasmine and Jasmine both looked at me with sad eyes. Eyes that held pity yet at the same time, determination to help me.

"I just have to finish," I turn back to my work.

Alto said last night that he would leave in three days.

I had time still to try to get whatever I could done. Maybe if his men reported that Jasmine and Yasmine had walked into the science building with me, he would have less suspicions.

I cast an anxious eye at the window. I knew they were not allowed to come in because they did not have student I.D.s but the thought that there had been men trailing behind me, and watching my every movement made a sudden burst of anger course through me.

Though I may be Alto's life mate, I still could not understand his behavior. It was as if he and only he knew the best course of action, and everyone else was simply a distraction or did not know as best as he did.
