My Evil Boy Toy

"Love, what happened? Can you tell me please?" I worriedly asked.

He was quiet for half an hour already. He was just sitting on the couch holding my hand and would sometimes give me kisses and a tight hug.

I couldn't understand what was happening but I let him. I was waiting for him to calm down and tell me what happened.

"Love?" I called.

He looked at me and his eyes seemed so anxious.

I cupped his face and stared into his eyes.

"Tell me, what happened?" I asked again in a serious tone.

"He spoke to me." He answered, looking directly into my eyes.

I frowned. Who's he? At first I thought he talked to my father but then I remembered what he told me about the other guy. His other self.

"Him? That guy? What did he tell you?"

I know it was something bad. He wouldn't be screaming like that if it wasn't. He really looks restless as if something important was taken away from him.

"He wanted me to kill you." He whispered.

My eyes widened. I was surprised and confused at the same time.

"What? Why would he tell you that?"

"Peggy, he's my other self. The one who wanted revenge. I admit I tried to forgive your father but everyday I am scared. I'm not scared of him but I'm afraid that he would take you away from me again and worst he'll take Caden." He said in a distressful voice.

From the looks of it, his mind and heart were split. His mind which was controlled by his other self still wanted revenge but his heart decided not to because of me.

I looked into his eyes again. He couldn't look straight into my eyes anymore. I was losing him.

I pulled his head and leaned my forehead to force him to look at me.

"Love! Look at me!"

Still he couldn't and he was averting his eyes.

"Jayden!" I shouted.

That's when he looked at me. I took a deep breath and softly kissed him on the lips.

"What does your heart tell you?" I asked in a gentle voice.

He didn't answer but he was now staring into my eyes. Then crossed the small space between our faces to give me a kiss. It was gentle and loving. From his kisses, I was relieved that I felt his deep feelings for me.

"That I would never do anything that could hurt you again. I would rather die than seeing you hurt." He answered after the kiss.

"Then I trust you. Do you remember what grandpa always says? Always trust your heart."

"Love never fails." He continued.

"Yes, love." I smiled.

He nodded then pulled me into a tight embrace again.

"I think you should sleep. You're also exhausted from work and thinking about my father. I will watch you this time." I said while pulling him towards the bed.

He laid down on the bed while I stayed seated and leaned my back to the headboard. Then he moved and used my lap as a pillow.

I smiled and slowly touched his forehead, brushing my hand upward. He was staring at me while I was doing that.

"Your eyes. I always love it." He murmured.

"Why? I always envy your eyes and Alora's. They were like crystals that sparkled into the night."

"Your blue eyes always keep me at peace. It was like the ocean. Vast but calm and peaceful." He said.

"What else do you like about me?" I started to get curious.

"All of you. I told you, you are breathtaking. You're kind and pure. You're brave and a strong woman. I admire your unconditional love for me and Caden. Do you know why I decided to forgive your father?"

I shook my head and just waited for him to answer his own question.

"Not because I wanted to impress you. But it's because I saw how you forgive everyone who caused you pain. You have a big heart, Peggy. You're a wonderful woman."

"I don't know, love. I just don't feel the hatred in my heart anymore. What happened to me ever since I was born was painful. But I was also thankful that those things happened to me, to use."

"Why?" He asked.

"If you think about it, maybe it happened for a reason so I could meet you."

He then put his hand into my face. "I love you Peg, to this life and the next. I will love you for eternity."

"I love you, too. Go to sleep." I smiled and gently kissed his hand.

He slowly closed his eyes while I watched him go to a deep sleep.

I didn't realize that I also fell asleep after and when I opened my eyes, it was already morning.

I turned my head to the other side of the bed. Jayden wasn't there anymore. I stood up and got out of bed to walk directly to the bathroom. I smiled when I saw him taking a shower.

He looked at me and smiled back. I was hoping he would ask me to join him but he didn't. He suddenly turned off the shower and immediately went out. He walked towards me and kissed me on the cheek then rushed outside the bathroom.

I frowned but eventually ignored it. But I was wondering why I felt like something's different. Did I do something wrong? We were okay last night after we talked about what happened to him, but why did he suddenly change his mood? 

I felt the coldness from him. Like he was distancing himself from me. But maybe it was just me since I am used to Jayden who would always make

love to me in the morning. 

With those questions in mind and feelings left unanswered, I took off my dress and bathed. I wanted to talk to him so badly so I quickly took a bath and got dressed.

But when I went out of the bathroom, he was already gone.
