Diana was strange when we arrived at the beach house. She kept looking back all the time.
– What happened ? – I asked her looking in the same direction as her.
– I heard a noise in the trees. – she answered me.
– It must have been the wind. – I said.
Maybe it worked, she stops looking all the time and we went to enjoy our first day of travel. We played a lot inside the house and during the night we had a barbecue to end the first day with a golden key.
The second and third days passed very quickly. We were playing in the sea and in the pool. On the fourth day we were too tired to schedule something different to do. So we decided to relax that day.
We prepared snacks and took them to the veranda. We hung our hammocks and took advantage of the cool breeze coming from the sea towards us. I ended up sleeping because of the silence, but I don’t know how long I fell asleep. When I woke up, Diana wasn’t I called her but I had no answer. I went home to look for her, but she was not there. Then I started to feel a tightness in my heart after remembering her saying that I heard a noise in the middle. Without thinking twice I entered the forest that surrounded our beach house and started screaming for her name. I didn’t have my watch or cell phone, because of that I didn’t know how long I had been screaming in the through the bush.
When I was about to come back to call for help, I screamed as loud as possible for the last time.
– Diana ?
– I’m here. – I heard her voice answering me.
I followed the sound of her voice and was relieved to find her without any injuries.
– What are you doing here? – I asked her while hugging her.
– I saw that we were being watched\, so I decide to run after this man to try to find out what he wanted and who had sent him. – she replied pointing to a man who was tied up with tree vines.
The man was apparently even taller than me, who is 1.80 m tall, had more muscles and appeared to be well trained. I was very curious that a sixteen-year-old girl, thin, 1.65 m tall, managed tie such a man.
– How did you manage to do that? – I asked with a suspicious look and distancing myself from her.
I looked around, but there was no trace of ice in the woods.
– During the time I stayed in the Southern Forest\, I ended up learning how to use the lianas of the trees to do anything. I learned to use the strength of my body and run as fast as possible in the case of the person who killed my parents. come after me\, I can defend myself. – she answered me.
As soon as she finished speaking, she came over to me and involuntarily, I took a step back. I was afraid of what might happen there. But I never imagined that she would start crying because of it.
– If you think I did bad for your family\, why don’t you come and kill me right now? I can’t believe you are thinking that about me again. – she told me while crying on her knees on that forest floor.
I immediately ran to hug her and ask for forgiveness. Could it be that I was a monster for doubting the person I love because of the clues that sometimes point to her, but at the same time not? I could only feel guilty.
– Forgive me. I promise I will never doubt you again.
– Don’t promise me what you can’t keep. – she said\, dying of anger.
– Please don’t be upset with me. – I asked while making her look at me.
At that moment, the man who was trapped and unconscious woke up. We tried in a friendly way to get him to talk to who he worked for, but he didn’t mean anything.
So I started beating him up and taking out all my anger at doubting Diana at all since she came back into my life. But I just felt worse with every blow I hit the man. Nothing was taking away from that doubt of me. .I only stopped when the man decided to speak.
– I’m one of Mr. Marshall Prince’s security guards and I’m here to find out who you are. – said the man covered in blood.
– It was easy. – I said calming down.
– I do not believe that man is still after me. – said Diana.
– Why is he after you? – I asked confused with the situation.
– On the day of our trip\, when I left the beauty salon\, Mr. Prince was getting out of his car and all the women on the street were agitated because of his presence\, except me. Then he came to ask me my name and I I refused to answer. And because of that he wants to know that I am. – she answered.
– This is the most random reason I could hear at that moment. – I said laughing nervous.
– Don’t laugh. I swore it had to do with my parents’ murder\, this guy watching me. – she said seriously.
– Excuse me. – I said trying to be serious too.
After that, Diana let the man go and we went home without talking. When we got there, she locked herself in her room and didn’t leave.
I was already despairing, she hasn’t spoken to me in days. Then the day came for us to go home and she continued to ignore me.
– Since when did you become so spiteful? You were a lovely little girl as a child. – I asked her.
– From the moment you doubted my innocence the second time. – she replied bitterly.
– But I’ve already apologized to you for three days in a row\, Diana. When will this be over? – I asked her next.
– I need some time. And if you will excuse me\, I need to organize my suitcase to put it in the car. – she said and then closed her bedroom door in my face.
It took her hours to organize her things so we could leave and when she got off, she went straight to the car and because of that, I stayed behind to lock everything up.
When I started walking towards the car, I saw that she had stopped halfway and I thought it was because she was waiting for me, but she was there because she didn’t know where I had left the car.
She spent a short time trying to put her suitcase in the car without asking for my help. I was already starting to be unable to control my emotions.
– What happened ? – she asked me.
– Please let me help you. – I asked.
– Help me please. – she told me and I saw how difficult it was for her to do that. But I helped her anyway.
– Are you alright ? – she asked me.
– No. – I replied.
– What’s wrong with you ? – she asked as she turned to look at me.
– I ended up offending you and you don’t want to forgive me. I saw in your eyes how hard it was to swallow your pride to ask the person who hurt you to help you. – I answered.
– Tobias\, I understand that you want to find the person who is doing this with your family\, but it is not fair for you to doubt me that I am also part of the family. – she told me looking into my eyes.
– I know. And I’m starting to go into complete despair just thinking about the probability that you will never forgive me and I end up losing you because of that. – I said while I couldn’t contain my tears.
After I finished speaking, I felt Diana hugging me so tightly. It was the first time that a hug had given me such security since my mother passed away. Because of that, I couldn’t hold back my feelings.
– Diana\, I love you.
– I love you too\, my cousin. – she answered me.
I didn’t know the feelings she had for me, but her words were enough to keep me smiling the whole way home.
Diana ended up sleeping in the car again. I found her extremely cute while she was asleep. It didn’t take long for us to get home. As soon as we arrived, I tried to wake her up as carefully as possible.
– Diana\, wake up. – I called her with the lowest possible voice.
As soon as she opened her eyes, her face turned completely red. I knew why she had this reaction. I was very close to her face. I took this opportunity to tease her a little bit.
– You’re red. Do you have a fever? – I said while I couldn’t help laughing.
– Get out\, take your hand off me. – she said\, patting my hand and pouting.
I didn’t expect her to be so upset about it. She got out of the car and started walking towards the front door of the house without me seeing it. When I realized, she was already about to enter.
– Hey ! You need to help me with the bags. – I said.
– Turn around. – She said smiling as she closed the door.
I couldn’t control myself and started laughing alone outside the house. I started to get our bags out of the car and then I realized how beautiful that night was. The sky was starry and the moon was full.
– What a beautiful night. – I whispered to myself.
I picked up my bags and went into the house. I had spent a long time outside admiring the night. Upon entering, I saw that she had not yet gone up and was talking to the doctor and keeping my father company. When she saw me, she came in. my direction to help me.
– Didn’t you tell me to turn around? – I asked.
– I am a person with a very charitable soul who helps those in need. – she replied laughing.
I couldn’t do it and ended up laughing too. Her comments were the best. After that, I went to check on my father and see if he had any improvement in his health.
The doctor said that his recovery was being great and that even though his voice was a little hoarse, it was temporary.
I decided to go up and go to my room to rest a little before dinner. When I went up, I came across the cameras that were in the corridor that I had ordered to install without telling anyone. Only that they had been in exposed places.
Since I didn’t want to suspect Diana about my problems with the Frost Witch, I had to at least have some recording of when these phenomena happened at home.
I went into my room, separated my clothes to wash and went to take a shower. I was very hot, so I wanted to take a very cold shower. When I finished, I put on black pants and a white short-sleeved shirt. I liked wearing the clothes in those colors. I put on a shoe and went to Diana’s room to call her to come down and have dinner.
– Diana ? – I called\, but I had no answer.
So I tried to open the door to her room and to my surprise it was open. I was worried and didn’t think twice before entering.
The bedroom lights were on and she was lying on her bed without being covered. She was dressed in short shorts and a low-cut blouse that was from a set of sleepwear. I started taking a deep breath to control myself. I just wanted to check if everything was fine with her and not doing anything stupid.
I sat on her bed next to her and got close to her face and was surprised by her hand that practically flew around my neck and started to squeeze very tightly. Where did so much strength come from?
When I looked at her face, she was waking up and was startled when I spoke almost without a voice.
– You are very strong.
– MY GOD TOBIAS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? – She said as she released me and then jumped out of bed.
– Me … cof cof … I’m sorry\, I … cof cof … I didn’t mean to scare you. I came to ask you for dinner\, but I called you several times and you didn’t answer. So I tried to open the door and I found it very strange when it opened so I went in and came to see if everything was okay with you. It was at this time that you grabbed my neck. – I said while I was still getting air.
When I least expected it, I felt her hand go over my head and mine “landed” on something soft. I started to get nervous when I realized it was her breasts. She was warm and her skin was soft. I was very scared. than I could do to her and end up hurting her.
– Diana … – I called her trying to make her understand the situation.
– Calm down\, let me hug you like an apology. – She asked me.
– Then tell me why you almost hanged me. – I asked my attention to deviate from that “problem”.
– I dreamed that someone was trying to kill me. – she answered me and it seemed quite obvious.
My attempt to divert my attention did not work.
– It was just a dream. Everything will be fine. – I said while wrapping my arms around his waist already seducing my carnal desires.
But I think at that moment she realized what was happening and quickly let me go and went to the wall. I got up and went towards him. I couldn’t think. I just wanted one thing. her mine.
– What’s it ? – she asked with her arms and crossed looking at the door.
– I’m just watching how beautiful you are. – I said looking at her.
– What ? – she asked looking at me.
I got up and it was all very fast. I closed the bedroom door and grabbed her around the waist, felt her warm breath close to mine and kissed her with all my will, but without hurting her. I felt her hands touch my back and I knew that was what she wanted. But I was afraid to go too fast with all that and I was fighting my thoughts and desires to get undressed right there. I couldn’t do that.
As soon as I finished that thought she pushed me away from her and looked at me with a very serious face.
– I thought you were enjoying it. – I said confused by the situation.
– I’m just going to ask you this time. Please don’t do this anymore. – she told me looking into my eyes.
I couldn’t believe what she said and because of that I couldn’t say anything other than “sorry” and left her room. I closed the door and sat on it and couldn’t contain the tears that were wetting my face on that one. time.
– I’m sorry Tobias. I can’t. At least not now. – I heard through the door and that confused me.
I stayed there in that position for a while and when I decided to get up, I went to my room, got my car key and left aimlessly during the night.
I went out to search my mind for some reason to justify her sudden reaction and to be able to cry because of the rejection.
– Being cousins shouldn’t be the reason. My father is half her father’s brother.
– Age shouldn’t be a problem either.
Those were the main and possible reasons, but they weren’t strong enough. I saw in her reaction that she was enjoying that kiss as much as I was. But there was still a reason that I was keeping all this time out of my mind.
– She can’t get involved with the guy she threatens if she’s the Cold Witch.
Just thinking about it, I felt bad, but I had nothing else to think about. Either that or I didn’t know anything else.
I spent the whole night wandering the streets of the city of Diamond with the car and when I returned home it was almost eight in the morning.
I got out of the car and went towards the front door of the house. When I was going to put my hand to open it, Diana opened the door and I couldn’t control the reaction of my face that I felt heated up. She had the same reaction. Without thinking twice I asked her to talk and she agreed. She left and started walking to look for the place as far as possible for privacy.
– I think it’s good enough here. We are far enough away to have total privacy. Can I ask you something? – I said. I was getting impatient with all that.
– Yes you can. – she answered.
– Diana\, how do you feel about me? – I asked without hesitation.
– Tobias\, I …
– Please answer me in all your sincerity. – I said\, interrupting her in the middle of the sentence.
– Tobias\, I love you. – She said after taking a deep breath. I think she was gathering the strength to admit it out loud.
– What kind of love is that ? – I asked.
– The same love you feel for me. Or at least that’s what I think you feel for me. – she answered.
– Of course I love you\, you silly. But I can’t understand why you left me and said that to me. – I said. How could she doubt my love after all I had shown?
– Tobias\, I’m only sixteen and you’re already eighteen. I don’t know what a teenager like me can offer a man like you. Outside of being cousins. – she replied and I didn’t put much faith in the answer she gave me.
– Is that why you said that while crying after I left your room? – I asked her almost whispering.
– What ? – she asked in surprise.
– “I’m sorry Tobias. I can’t. At least not now.” – elu repeated her words last night.
I saw the nervousness in her gaze even though she tried to disguise it. I started to think of the last possible reason why she rejected me, but she interrupted my thinking with her response.
– I really love you and I want to have something with you\, but how can we have something? – she asked me.
– Diana\, you said “At least not now”. Why? – I asked her for fear of your answer.
– I can’t. I’m too young. – she answered.
– I do not care about that. – I said taking a step to approach her.
– But I care. – she replied while taking a step back.
I saw no way out but to wait.
– Okay. Then I’ll wait until you are completely ready to have something with me. – I said passing firmly in my words.
– What if by any chance\, one of us wants nothing more to do with each other? – she asked me and that doubt came back to my mind.
– For my part\, it will never happen Diana. – I answered.
Then she came towards me and hugged me tight and said:
– Thanks for your patience.
– It’s the least I could do to have you with me. – I replied and then gave a kiss on his head.
After that she said she wanted to go for a walk alone in the city and left.
I was very happy to have resolved the matter with her, but how would I be if I found out that she is the Cold Witch and that it was she who killed my family members? Would I be able to get even with her? Would I be able to forgive her?
All these doubts came like a wave in my mind causing me to feel a very strong headache. So I went in, took a shower and lay down. I put my doubts aside and mentalized her smile in my mind so that I calm down and fall asleep quickly.
