Chapter 527

Beau
The look in his eyes as the life is being sucked out of him is all I can remember of the moment. Nothing else comes to mind. Alby made a mixture. It made the whole process quick and painless.
That is what I wanted.
I didn’t want him to suffer even though he deserved to and more.
Fallon was not a good person and in death, he didn’t even redeem himself. He never even apologized for all the things that he did and maybe that is why it hurts this much. I just wanted closure. I wanted him to give me that but now that he is finally dead, I know there is no way I will get that from him and it has been eating me up completely.
Fallon is finally dead and here I am waiting for something to happen. Thinking that it cannot be over.
I can’t be the only one that thinks it was too easy.
That he gave up too easily.
Lanis has been the best through all this. It has been a whole day since it happened and ii have been in this funk for the whole twenty-four hours. I haven’t left the room; I haven’t done anything but stay in my solace.
I know he wants me to just bounce back from this but I have this weird feeling inside me that makes it hard to.
The door opens and Lanis walks into the room.
I look out of the window and the sky is bright. It is another day, another day with new opportunities.
“Hey,’’ he smiles as he walks over to me. I sit up on the bed as he stops in front of me. He is dressed in a pair of blue faded jeans and a polo shirt. He has shoes on, I didn’t even notice him when he got dressed.
I look at him and I feel a smile cross my face and it makes me happy.
“Hey,’’ I smile back.
He leans in and kisses me on the forehead. His lips are soft and warm.
“You’re doing, okay?” He asks. I nod as I take in a deep breath.
“I’m fine. It’s hard to explain. It’s just hard to think about what I did,’’ I answer. He sits down on the bed.
“You didn’t do anything that you shouldn’t have. It has happened, so I think it is best if you just try to think about the bright side of it all.”
I look back to the window and I see the dappled sunlight. I turn back to him and stretch my hands out which he takes into his own. I pull him until he is on top of me. His smile widens as he touches my face gently.
“Why are you all dressed up?’’ I ask him with my hands around his waist. His smile widens as he slowly leans forward and rests his forehead on mine.
“So, Elu is here to stay for the week with the babies.’’
I furrow my brows.
“Why?’’
He grins ’I planned some time away from the community. I think it would be good to get out for a while,’’ he breathes out with the goofy smile on his face. talking to Lanis is addictive, somehow, I mirror out whatever emotions he is feeling, and right now he is excited about whatever it is he has in mind.
“Do you think it is a good idea to leave the kids alone with Elu?’’ I ask him with a slow smile crawling to my face.
He nods immediately “Elu will have bells, she will not be alone and it is just for a week.”
I look at him with his hands still on my face. “So, what’s this all about? ’’ I say slowly. He grins and kisses my lips. “It’s about you and me. You and me and just some fun.’’ I smile at him as he leans back and his lips graze my neck. He kisses my neck gently and both of our eyelids started to droop. I feel the gentle waves starting to creep over my body and I felt a slight tingling. He pulls back and takes in a deep breath.
“So where are we off to?’’
“it is not a surprise, unlike you,” he rolls his eyes playfully “I don’t want to kill you with suspense. I rented out a house, it is by the beach. It’ll just be us, alone. A way to get you to forget about all the commotion here.’’
I feel my eyes widen in excitement and I smile at him. “Do you think we can get a week without anything happening?’’ I ask him with a gleam because suddenly, all I can think about it spending some alone time with my baby.
He nods his head “I warned Elu already, she is only to call us for the babies and nothing else.”
I take a deep breath because the more he tells me, the more eager I am for this. He jumps off from me and pulls me off the bed “Come on baby, I need you to get ready,’’ he exclaims excitedly.
He is so excited about this. I look at him with a huge smile and my head is about to explode from the excitement. He pulls me up by the hand and pushes me towards the bathroom until I am inside “You have five minutes; I will be in the babies room.” He shuts the door and leaves me alone.
I know that Lanis is doing this for me, he is trying to get me to forget about everything that happened with Fallon, and even though it will not be easy to just forget about it all, I am going to try to be present with my family.
I am going to try to move past it all and my decision.
I am going to leave it all in the past because that is exactly where it belongs.
Like all the other bad things that have happened.
