. I haven’t been for a while, but I was afraid of what would happen if we didn’t work. I’m so sorry I used you. I’m so sorry I left you. If I could take everything back I would.”
“I wouldn’t,” he said wiping my tears away.
“Really?” I asked.
“Really,” he confirmed. “Olivia, I’ll never find anyone like you and I don’t want to. I haven’t looked nor do I intend to. You are supposed to be mine and I feel it with everything that I am. I felt it the moment you made your decision in Barcelona. I wouldn’t give up. I couldn’t. Not with the one woman that makes me feel like you do. I know that you have a life here, but I promise you that if you leave here and come back with me to Ibiza, you will never know love like I will show you every day for the rest of my life,” he said taking my hand in his.
“One question,” I said.
“Anything.”
“How did you guys know where I lived?”
“Pablo. He gave me the address you put on your reservation and we went from there,” he said with a smile.
We kissed each other and that’s when I knew I’d leave with him.
That was the day I went back to Mitchell and gave him his ring back.
I thanked him for the first year of happiness he gave me. I never explained to him why I left but I’m sure he knew in his heart.
That was the day I got on the plane in O’Hare with my young lover.
I knew in my heart I had made the right decision then.
That was the day that I sat on the plane reliving every moment that led me to this point.
From the last time Mitchell rejected me sexually, to meeting Alejandro in Chicago and the few days we sexually dominated each other; from Ibiza to Barcelona.
It is true what they say; right before you die or think you will, your life flashes before your eyes.
I looked over at Alejandro Castillo as he kissed my hand and held it reassuringly as the pilot finished making the announcement that our plane was going down.
