CHAPTER 46 (I love you)

The starry night above was better than any images imitation. There were lighter patches, clusters of faint and bold light, the constellations altered according to the time of year. These were the same stars that greeted the ancients, the same ones that would be there in millions of years. Even in the velvet dark there is the light of the stars, perhaps a promise that even when we yearn for the light of the sun there will be those stars to bring hope of the dawn.



“A hope,” Hades breathes as he strokes his hand on her cheek. She was sleeping soundly after what they did. He guesses it tired her.



“You’re now my hope,” he said, and a smile was put on his lips.



The stars hung above them, as if strung in the air by invisible strings.



“Hades?” Lissana murmured and her one eye was open looking at him and Hades lower his head and now their forehead was just an inch of them.



“What is it?” he asked and can’t help himself not to plant a kiss on her swollen lips. He must be so addicted to it and can’t get enough of her. He can see her blush because of the luminous light of the moon and finds it beautiful.



“Aren’t you going to sleep?” she asked and her eyes fluttered.



“I was about to when you suddenly wake up,” he smiled and lay down beside her.



“Wow,” she exclaimed as she saw the stars at the sky and her face gleamed in happiness looking at the stars.



“Are you loving what you are seeing right now, Ana?”



“I did not know there was so much stars but I can’t see this in our house,” she stated and it still fixed her eyes at the sky.



“Clouds and everything polluted was on our place that is why you can’t see them but in here you can see all of them,” he answered and was looking at her face.



‘From the love she gives to her ideas and the creative ways she expresses her soul. She is one who wraps her arms around the soul of the world, of all who love her and those who need to love. That’s beauty and if you can see that too, you’ll be smarter and wiser than most. Her emotions were not easily hidden on her innocent face. Her pain was clear in the crease of her lovely brow and the down-curve of her full lips. But her eyes, her eyes showed her soul. They were a deep pool of restless gold, an ocean of hopeless grief. As I looked into her eyes, I knew all the beauty of the universe could not even hope to compete with this simple thing: passion. Passion turned her eyes into orbs of the brightest fire, and in them I read that she would fight to the very last year for her life. She would not let the world break her. Sure, she could cry, but she would never let them take her true self from her. She clung to it with passion. Passion that made her beautiful,’ she thought, and can’t help herself but to put a smile on her lips.





“And that is you, Ana.”

“Did I already told you that you are beautiful today Ana?” Hades asked which makes Lissana turn her head to him and their eyes met.



“Hades,” she breathes.



Hades cupped her face and captured her lips to his, it was slow but a sweet kiss.



‘When he looked at me it was as if it took every ounce of breath from my lungs floating into the air like midnight smoke. Every time he kissed me it felt like the world stopped, leaving just the two of us to wander the earth together. Every time he held my face between his hands, it felt like he was untying all of my knots. Holding me for eternity in the arms I’ve grown so accustomed to. This falling in love was like a story you never wanted to end. For so long I had longed for it, and now I can’t bear to lose it - lose this thing that makes me feel so complete,’ Lissana thought as her heart was beating wildly because of what he was doing to her.



“I love you even though in the eyes of the people think we are wrong but trust me we are more than this,” he said and Lissana closes her eyes and just his hand to her cheek. She doesn’t care about the rumors, all she wants and care is him.



‘I never lived a moment of my life before meeting you. And that day I met you once more, this heart says that I paint it in your colors! I am yours. Be mine. Nothing in me is mine, it’s all yours. I’ve fallen in your charm, make me yours. This unusual feeling- it aches my heart, sweetheart. How long? Why is it my heart aches when I saw you that day? When you call me Isabella? And when your heart came across mine in its path, your grace celebrated every beat. I have risen to meet you, hidden in your heart. The moment you are with me- I rejoice in life in that mini-second. Getting you was all I wanted, I have no more wishes, Gods has done his deeds for me! I am made from you, and I am needless without you. Be with me, make me yours. This feeling that I can’t explain; I will just be brave enough to admit that I’m falling for you. I married you with my eyes and soul on that night you came into our house. I married you with my heart and every future dream. I saw all of you, the joys and the sorrows, and I knew I was home. I knew you were something to me Hades like a missing piece of a puzzle for me to complete,’ Lissana thought as she looks through his eyes, those eyes that makes her heart beat fast.





Lissana trace his lip lightly with the tip of her finger and smile.



“I love you too Hades.”
