Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

481-The Three Magic Words.

I have been losing my mind ever since I recalled Emelia and what her connection was with my parents' murder.

'I am not even angry that she hated my mother. She might be able to justify her murder, but what about my

father? What has he done to her? What have I done to her?" I complained, sitting on the side of the road and

yammering for the last few minutes.

After I told him where I remembered her from, they took me out on a car ride, and after we were far away from

the mansion, they sat me down on the roadside to let me vent.

Sometimes people become so blinded by vengeance that they don't realize the person they are mistreating doesn't

even deserve it." That came from Lazio's personal experience.

Maynard was also standing with his car, silently staring at my face and looking all sad. Theo seemed to be on call. I

wonder what was going on with him.

’Guys! We need to leave." He returned to us and informed us, not looking very satisfied with whatever news he had.

‘Is everything---," Lazio paused when Theo steadily gave him a gesture. Lazio understood, and so did the rest of us,

that Theo didn't want to say anything in front of me for now.

‘You can tell us it is not like I am getting banged from the left-right." I sighed at my fate, twisting and bending me

beyond my ability.

’I think we should go hear it from Kellice herself," Theo suggested, and as soon as he took her name, I knew it was

bad news.

I nodded and rushed into the car with him. I was pretty certain that Christina must be wondering what we were

doing roaming around together, but it didn't matter, honestly.

The car ride was filled with silence, but then, as usual, something happened to Theo, and he started humming out

of nowhere.

I turned to him and stared at his face in bewilderment. After realizing I had been staring at him, he shut up and

adjusted in his seat.

‘I am sorry!" he apologized, "I am not — used to — my brain just—,” he tried explaining but he kept failing.

‘You are not used to controlling an entire human body? because you are not meant to be a human. You are not only

causing pain to Thiago but to yourself as well. You definitely will start acting differently when you stay long enough

in this human body," I yammered, as I didn't feel like hiding anything or sugar-coating anything.

’Just saying!" I added while looking out the window.

’You don't like my company?" He confused me with his question. I looked in his direction and sighed.

‘Theo! I don't like anybody more than you. Maybe not even myself. If you have seen me in the past two years-," I

was going on the same rampage when his head nod silenced me.

I understand all that, but that was for Thiago. What about me?" He complained, not turning to look at me and

keeping his focus on the road ahead.

’The day you accept that you are as much a part of him as he is of you, you will not need to ask me that question," I

answered, watching his body relax.

'But since your brain works differently," I joked a little, "I love you, Theo!" As soon as those words escaped my lips,

he hit the brakes so hard that Lazio's car behind me had to hit the brakes as well.

’Be careful!" I grunted at him. He turned to me in his seat and watched my face in shock.

I knew the timing was wrong, but I didn’t know what the future held for me. I have come to terms with the fact that

ups and downs are going to be a part of my life, and instead of drowning in sadness and sorrow, I will take some

time out to praise those who deserve it.

I knew he was suffering with me, so I wanted to help him understand what my feelings were for him so that at least

he could be at peace.

And I didn't lie when I told him I loved him.

‘You mean it?" Theo asked, his eyes watering up.

In response to his question, I held his hand and placed it on my chest, making him hear my heart beat faster for

him.

I would never lie to you, Theo. There was a time I didn't know how to feel about you, but there was never a time

that I hated you. I just thought maybe you were not in your right mind, and because you were made by a curse-you

would take some time before you adjusted. And those were the reasons we didn't let you out. We were afraid you

would scratch someone or hurt someone, but we never saw you as a monster, Theo. You were just a disturbed

creature, still my creature!" I said, noticing Lazio and Maynard's cars slowly pull up to either side to check on us.

‘I wish we didn't have so much going on." Theo sighed.

’What would you do if we were in a very peaceful and less warlike place?’ I asked him, not wanting to rush him into

leaving. I understood he was love-deprived.

‘I would kiss you right now," he uttered, his gaze traveling over to my lips.

’Then do it; what is stopping—,’ Before I could finish, he leaned over me aggressively and crashed his lips tightly

against mine. I was so stunned that my moan escaped into his mouth.

His body was holding command over mine, making me lean back and deepen the kiss with him. He tilted his head,

rubbing his lips hard over mine, and then sucked hard on my lower lip.

I wanted my hands to roam around his body and grab every inch of it, and I believe he wanted to do the same as

he kept grabbing the chair or anything around in devastation.
