Once on the ground Craig waved good night to the pilot who once more lifted off to some unknown destination. Hand in hand in the darkness they walked back to the villa, the two of them silent enjoying the sounds of the insects as they sang their evening song. As they neared the lights of the house Craig stopped turning her to face him. Gently he pulled her loosely into his arms bending down to look into her eyes
“Kira I think it would be an understatement to say that this was not the break I had planned” he said with a smile wavering on his lips
He touched a finger to her lips to silence the question he could see rising to her soft mouth
“I am ashamed of what I had planned” he groaned an apologetic look in his eyes
“I’m also ashamed of the way I made you come here” he added. Kira’s heart leapt at his words
“It’s been so wonderful….I can’t imagine you not being here” His eyes were now passionate as he looked into hers
“I want you to stay… to stay with me…..I know we can work things out” he said with sincerity.
Kira looked back at him. God how she had longed to hear these very words from him, she wanted to throw herself into his arms and tell him how much she loved him, but she remembered three years ago. She remembered the way he had looked at her in the same way only to throw her to the side with no explanation. What would happen when he bored of her again? This time it would be worse, this time it would be so complicated. Craig saw the shadow pass in front of her eyes and felt the panic rising within him.
“I can’t’” she said her voice miserable as she lowered her eyes from his
“Why” he pleaded with her
“It’s complicated….I have to think of….” Her voice trailed off before she looked back at him her eyes swimming
“Please Craig….it can only be for this time”
Pulling herself from his arms she then turned and started walking to the house. He followed her from behind feeling cold and empty inside. He should have listened to Tom he chided himself, should have never brought her here when his body had reacted the way it did to her in his office. What a fool he had been he thought and now she had done it to him again.
Somberly they entered their bedroom together, both of them lost in their own thoughts both of them feeling miserable in the knowledge that this would be their last night together. On the night stand Kiras mobile phone beeped indicating a message.
Looking at the caller ID Kira had picked it up, looking at him, knowing that she had to make that call.
“I need to make a call” she said softly before moving out to the balcony. When she returned a few minutes later he was sitting on the end of the bed with his hands in his head running his fingers through his hair
“Who are you calling Kira” he asked his voice low and pained
He looked up at the woman standing before him
“Tell me” he demanded a pleading note in his voice
She shook her head slowly a trace of fear crossing her wonderful aqua eyes
“No” she whispered almost inaudible “I can’t”
Jumping up quickly to his feet he grabbed her by the shoulders
“Tell me Kira I need to know”
Biting her lip she continued to shake her head.
Suddenly letting her go he stepped back
“Why won’t you tell me” he asked an angry edge coming to his voice
“God, you hypocrite, you have a cheek to react the way you did about Alison”
“Craig…”she began “I can’t”
“Just as I start to think that maybe…..” he said#p#分页标题#e#
“I bring you here to finally get you out of my system and what do I find ….I find the little innocent girl…the one who couldn’t hurt anybody……..but that’s not real is it”
His tone was now one of complete contempt
“Damn you Kira, you haven’t changed. You’re still the same manipulative, using bitch you always were”
She looked up at him her features shocked by the sudden change in him. She was not able to understand this assault on her.
“Craig, please” she pleaded her eyes wide with hurt
“You stand there whispering words of love to him… then let me bed you” he snarled
“There is no him… and you made me…” she whispered
He laughed a short mirthless sound
“I didn’t MAKE you enjoy it……..I didn’t MAKE you seduce me” he threw at her “Or did you forget this afternoon….what kind of woman does that make you Kira”
Dropping her eyes to the ground she slowly shook her head, biting her lip to stop them trembling
