16 Hidden Love

George POV

My father already knew I am pregnant. He might do something to Lucas if I won't see him immediately. I tell Lucas that we are going to see him early tomorrow morning. The night is young when he dropped me off at the hotel. I went to the back of the hotel where the fire exit door was, I saw a couple of people gathered, I saw Andrei and a couple of his coworkers and Marco. Marco looks wasted and they were having trouble controlling him. 

Then Marco clings to Andrei and I heard, " why did you let him be your world? Why?" he strangle Andrei. " you loved me first, but why do I feel he will be your last..." then he burst into tears. I was trembling when I heard it.

Andrei POV

After I left George and that guy, Lucas, I have felt anxious. He's been gone for four hours and I haven't seen him or heard anything about him. I touched my lips and I still feel the kiss we shared in front of his ex. He told me that he had something to tell. I'm worried about what if he still in love with his ex. I'm imagining what might happen if George chooses him over me. I think I'm gonna die. I was in the hallway greeting guests when someone tells me that they saw Marco at the fire exit door drunk and wanted to go inside. I run over there immediately, Marco hates coming to the hotel even though he will own it soon. He only comes to the hotel, when he wants to see me or talk to me. Then I saw him, he was dead drunk. I run to him, my coworker having trouble assisting him. How did he get here?

"Marco wakes up." I pull him up and tapping his face to wake up. When he heard me, he opens his eyes and clings to me." Why did you let him be your world? Why?" he strangles me.

"you loved me first, but why do I feel he will be your last..." then he burst into tears.

"I tolerate everything. I sacrifice everything... FOR YOU." He points at my chest so hard. He cried a lot.

" It hurt so much..." he stabbed his chest so hard. 

"STOP IT MARCO."

"I love you so much...Do you want to know where did it all start? Since he is five. When you told me that you will marry me when we older."

"You rejected me" I responded to him, he burst to laugh and cry again.

 "because I don't have a choice..."

"stupid...we are only 15 at that time, you can always had a choice but you choose to reject me."He pulls himself out of me then he said,

" I did it because I love you..."

"YOU LOVE ME? YOU DIDN'T! I WAS SO HURT THAT TIME! I ONLY GOT YOU! I always thought, where my love is lacking? when have I not been good enough?" I remember again what happens when we are 15. My heart still stings trying to remember the feeling that has been buried so long time ago. I can't help it, I cried. He points at me trembling, he looks so awful and wasted, 

"I'm SO SO SORREYYY..." he cried again.

"You don't have to apologize, it happens long ago...I already move on."

He came running to me and kiss me. I was surprised, he pulls his lips out of my lips.

"DON'T MOVE ON... I am your first, you are my first...you are my first in everything... I didn't date anyone. I just lied to you so that you will forget me and move on. BUT we can start all over again." He pulls my face closer to his face.

"Forget about him... and BE MINE AGAIN." Then I whispered, " I can't."

He stabs my chest again with his trembling hands."I DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU AND HE WAS TAKING YOU AWAY FROM ME. I SACRIFICE MY HAPPINESS SO THAT YOUR DREAMS WILL COME TRUE."I flustered.

" WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! I DON'T GET IT! WHAT ARE THE SACRIFICES YOU DID? TELL ME! MY DREAM THAT TIME IS YOU!" I don't understand everything that he was saying, if he loves me back then, he just told me so and we will not be having this conversation. He sniffing while saying this, " I WAS HAPPY THAT TIME THAT WE ARE SHARE THE SAME FEELING, I was still so naïve at that day we share our first, I couldn't respond to you that day, I was so stupid because I thought that giving you my body is my way to express how much I loved you, but we are both so innocent that time... Dad found out about us, he was super angry about us, he tells me that we will send me to America but I couldn't leave you alone, I fought dad for you, I was ready to leave everything behind and elope with you...then I heard dad, he was talking with someone on the phone and I found out that dad is behind of your parents died..."

NO WAY. NO. NO. NO WAY. Godfathers will never do such a thing, they are best of friends. I was trembling and weak.

"that's the reason I rejected you. I hid it because you might lose everything especially the hotel. This hotel is your parent's legacy. I couldn't come here because I feel so guilty, having all this...This hotel is yours and if I told you early on... Dad probably does something to you...and It's scared me the most that you will be gone. You are the only person that I loved so much. I did everything to support you in your studies for you to claim the hotel. I WANT YOU TO HAVE ALL THAT DAD STOLE FROM YOU."

I lose my strength in my knee. I feel down. Marco catch me and hug me. We cried together.
