Chapter 29
- Lexi’s POV
- I don’t have any idea where I’m going, I just turn and run, and don’t stop until I see a Hilton five blocks over. I’ve saved every bit of cash I’ve gotten over the past 7 months, wanting to be ready in case I had to flee. I slip the worker behind the desk an extra $200 not to show my ID, I check in under the name of Lisa Smith. I get the suite for three nights, that should give me plenty of time to think of my next move. I’ve got sweat pouring down my backside from where I ran, so I strip down and get in the bath tub. There is so many thoughts going throws my mind right now. ‘Where should I go? What will happen if I leave? Does Luca even realize I’m gone? Why can’t he just love me or let me go? Oh god what if he takes my baby away from me as punishment for running away from him?’ That last thought has me freaked out, I get out of the bath and dry off. Knowing there isn’t any way that I could leave him and not ever be found, I decide to call him and tell him where I am. I take a couple of deep breaths and dial his number; he picks up on the second ring. “Lu..Lu..Luca I..It’s mmmeee. I stutter out. “Where the fuck are you at? You better tell me right damn now, so I can come and get you. You’re going to regret running from me once I get my hands on you!” He shouts out at me. I’m shaking so bad but I don’t hesitate answering him. “I’m at the Hilton about five blocks down in room 1225.” He hangs up the phone, and all I can do is sit there. I don’t even move to put on my clothes.
- Four minutes later I hear a banging on the door. I leap up and go open it, I step backwards until the back of my knees hit the bed. I’ve never been more scared a day in my life as I am right now. Luca stalks in the room like a wild animal looking for prey. I swallow the lump in my throat, and don’t make a move. “I’m going to ask you this one time, and one time only. Why in the fucking hell did your stupid ass run from the doctor’s office? You knew what would happen, was it worth it?” He gets out between gritted teeth. “I might have acted like I didn’t care if you were with me at that appointment or not. But the truth is I didn’t realize how much I wanted and needed you to be there, until you were with me. I thought all these past lonely months that I’ve gotten over you. The doctor waited as long as he could for mother to go and get you. I wanted you to be with me to find out the sex of our baby together, I was alone during a time that should be one of the happiest times of my life. I laid there wishing you was beside me; I knew right then that I’ve been lying to myself about not loving you. So, I rush outside only to find Kat wrapped up in your arms. You ditched me for her yet again. You’re always talking about respect, but you don’t give me any. You allowed her to come and ruin one of the most important moments. I’m lonely Luca, if you don’t want or love me any longer, please just tell me so I can get over you. Quit stringing me along, it’s not right or fair to me or our child. I’m sorry I ran I was just hurt, once I got over the initial hurt, I called you. I know that doesn’t make it right, but it’s the truth and it’s all I have to give you.” I tell him while bawling my eyes out.
