I Dare You To Meet Me
Chapter 5

-Are you sure you want to leave?

Cara asked me for the millionth time, I could see in her eyes how my decision hurt her, but she respected it, while I was sure I was doing the right thing.

-I have nothing to keep me here Cara.

-That’s a f*****g lie little Russian, you have me and Demian.

My gaze drifts to my bedroom window that overlooked the other buildings.

-I don’t have Demian anymore, and you know it.

-Only because the guy is stubborn and won’t listen to you, but if you give him a little more time he’ll come to his senses and come looking for you like a sorry dog.

My eyes roll at the absurd comparison. I continue packing my suitcase without caring about his comments.

-Since two weeks ago he doesn’t want to know anything about me, and one week ago you personally gave him the box with my letter explaining everything and telling him that I’m expecting his child, during these fourteen days I’ve been looking for him again and again, do you know he forbade me to enter the clubhouse? Now every time a brother sees me approaching, he stops me from walking and asks me to turn around and go back the way I came, he has blocked my number, so my calls don’t come in and neither do my messages, I know I was the one to blame, but I’m tired of dragging myself for him, when one says enough, it’s enough-.

I say with a tired voice, the truth is that all this was affecting me more than I would like to admit, my eyes had dark circles under my eyes for miles because of my few hours of sleep. I had hardly eaten because of the knot in my stomach. Besides the fact that I looked like a fountain walking around crying every chance I got.

All this was not good for the little life I now had growing inside me, so for my own health, and that of my baby, I had decided to return to my country to live the rest of my pregnancy and raise my son or daughter with the support of my parents.

Yes, I had already told them everything, from how I met Demian to how he had left me when he found out who I was, how I was pregnant and that he didn’t know. But most of all, how I refused to marry anyone but the man I loved.

Needless to say, my parents were furious with me, and my dad wanted to come to California to kill with his bare hands the idiot who had disgraced his little girl, but I convinced him that the best thing for everyone was to put this whole year behind us and get on with our lives back home.

Once the suitcase was finished I closed it, a sigh left my lips and my gaze traveled around my room, making sure I didn’t leave anything behind.

-I think that’s it.

I muttered under my breath, Cara looked at me sadly before hugging me tightly.

-I’m sorry about all this little Russian girl, you know you can always count on me if you need it, right?

I hugged her back feeling suddenly empty, I was going to miss her so much.

-I know, you will also have a friend in me when you need it.

We held each other for several more minutes before we parted.

-I’m going to tell the driver and the receptionist to go upstairs and get the luggage.

I say as I look at the door.

-Don’t worry, I’ll go down, you take a good look around and make sure you don’t forget anything.

-Thank you. I replied with a grateful smile.

-No problem, little Russian girl, I have to take care of my future godson, you know?

She winked at me and then left my room, I shook my head, she was sure that he would be a boy identical to his father, the only thing I asked was that he was healthy, the rest didn’t matter to me.

I walked around the apartment making sure that everything was in order and that I didn’t leave anything important behind.

I was taking the suitcases to the living room thinking about Demian, when I heard a knock on the door.

-It’s open!

I shouted thinking it was Cara with the boys.

-These are all the suitcases that…”. The words died on my lips as I saw Demian standing in my doorframe.

-Are you going to leave? He whispered with a hoarse voice, he looked like shit, his clothes were wrinkled, I bet he hadn’t changed or bathed for several days. Her hair looked greasy and unkempt, big purple circles were under her eyes, and her normally golden skin was pale.

-I… He hesitated, not knowing how to react to what he was seeing.

-You can’t leave. She said hoarsely as she took a step into the apartment.

-Demian, my flight leaves in an hour. That was all I could manage to tell him, my heart broke for the second time as I saw the green eyes I loved so much fill with tears as my biker approached at a fast pace to where I was.

Demian fell to his knees in front of me as he hugged my legs tightly.

-NO, no no no no no no no no no, you can’t go and leave me, forgive me for being the biggest son of a bitch in this world, yell at me, hit me, curse my name a thousand times if you want to, but you can’t leave, I love you Anabella you are my whole life, I don’t know what to do without you-.

He says as he buries his face in my thigh and his tears wet the fabric of my jeans, not knowing when I started to cry too, I bring my hand to my eyes to wipe my tears and clear my vision.

-I love you too Demian, but it’s not just the two of us anymore-.

I tell him with my voice broken by crying, he separates his face from my body and lifts it to see me directly.

-With more reason you should stay, f**k Anabella, you can’t expect me to stay calm letting you go to the other side of the world with my son without taking responsibility, you are my life, I don’t know how to live it if you are not by my side.

He told me and hope grew in my chest.

-But you said…” He shook his head without letting me finish.

-Forget what I said beautiful, I was a son of a bitch, anger blinded me and didn’t let me see what was in front of me, I swear that if you accept me I will never leave your side again.

My heart demanded me to give him an immediate YES, but my rational part, the one that was hurt by his bad treatment, asked me to ask him for an explanation.

-Why do you hardly come looking for me Demian, it’s been weeks since we gave you that box with the letter?

He denied again while he looked away ashamed.

-Pride didn’t let me open that box, until half an hour ago I didn’t know the content, but I was in the bar of the club drowning my shit with Whiskey when I got a call from an unknown number to my cell phone, when I answered it it was your crazy friend telling me that I was about to lose the woman I loved and my son if I didn’t open my eyes and see the f*****g box. After yelling that at me she hung up and I ran to my room to get it, I saw everything I had and I understood immediately, I read the letter in less than two minutes and I wasted no time in running out to get my bike and come to look for you praying to any God that heard me that it wasn’t too late-.

I was still hurt with him, but Demian was the man I loved, and I didn’t want to be separated from him any longer.

-Demian I…”.

But he interrupted me again before I told him my decision.

-Stay with me Anabella, I don’t have all the money that you would inherit if you come back to your country, but if you are by my side nothing will be missing I swear, I promise to love and respect you for the rest of my life, I will take care of you and our baby, I won’t always be the best father or partner, but I promise to always try to be the best for you and for our family, just don’t leave me beautiful, I want to wake up for the rest of my days and have your face be the first thing I see, I want to hold you for the rest of my nights, k**s your sweet lips every chance I get because you drive me f*****g crazy, I want to make love to you every night, every day, in every position you allow me to. I will become a murderer if you leave my side and I let someone else have you. I love you Anabella, I love you more than my life, please stay-.

A laugh full of nerves and disbelief left my lips as more tears left my eyes.

-Yes, God, yes, yes, yes and a thousand times yes, I’ll stay with you always Demian.

Before I finish saying it my biker stops abruptly and his lips hungrily seek mine.

We k**s with pain and joy, with relief and shyness. Our tongues battle each other and his arms catch me as if he never wants to let me go. The k**s is intense, hot, makes my nerve endings tingle and my body beg for more. Soon Demian’s lips leave mine and he starts kissing my face, my neck, my lips let out a m**n as his hands move down my back to my a*s and squeeze it as they pull me closer to him and his growing e******n.

He pulls away a little and I can see his chest rise and fall as if he had just run a marathon.

-One more thing.

He whispers against my lips.

-Tell me.

I say as I lick my lips, dry now that I don’t have his on me, my eyes were closed from our sudden attack, but I open them wide when I hear his next question.

-Be my Old Lady.

A big smile stretches my lips.

-Yes.

As soon as the answer leaves my mouth his lips attack mine, his hands take my legs and he makes me jump so he can wrap them around his waist and carry me, still kissing me, he walks to my room and slams the door behind him. Without wasting time he lays me on my bed and separates from me again.

-I love you Anabella.

-I love you more Demian.

And so we kissed again.
