46. Fear
"Chaos is a friend of mine"
~BOB DYLAN
Alessandro is changing.
I haven't decided whether it's a good or bad one but there is definitely a change. I can see it, everyone is seeing it. Especially after the episode that went between us in his study.
I was not angry at him, maybe a little disappointed but not angry. There is no doubt that he walked me to my death but there is also no denying that he saved me. As I always say I am a rational thinker. I never take decisions based on quick emotions.
I have a habit to ponder over everything before coming to a decision. Like the day I decided to marry Alessandro, it was not a decision made in rush.

I try to focus on my surroundings, I realise that my closed eyes are the reason behind the darkness.I try to open them now, my eyeballs move beneath my shut eye lids. Slowly my eyes flutter open, I open them cautiously in fear of burning them by some sudden light.My heavy eyes finally open up, instead of light I find myself surrounded by darkness, again. I blink a couple of times and tilt my head to my side.A soft dim light was lit in the room, it was lit enough to manevour your way around the room. I study around me.

"I still taste the past"~UNKNOWNThe past few days have been.. I don't know how to put it. A lot of emotions have been shared between me and Alessandro.After he acted like a possessive brute it was clear that shifting to another room was out of the picture but that didn't keep me from maintaining a distance between us.But who am I kidding, this is my husband we are talking about. He knows how to pave his way through my walls.I was surprised.The amount of patience he showed when I blatantly ignored him or sometimes mildly disrespected him infront of his men. I had this small flame inside me that wasn't ready to burn off not until I make him feel even a quarter of my previous pain.Well it wasn't successful, I couldn't continue ignoring him.I was weak.

What is he talking about? I look up at him asking him through my eyes.
