Can I be with him? by Jane Nguyen (most read books .TXT) 📖

Nightwing(Dick) decided to look for me.  Why you ask? It all started when Caldor and I we fell in love…

10 years ago… Caldor and I met underwater;  I was swimming with my friends from Atlantic.  Our love progressed from there but it didn’t last long for he has proposed to me but broke the engagement by falling in love for another girl named Violet.  New to the team she thought that Caldor was single, soon enough he became aware of her feelings.   The two became as close as they could be, but there was a problem, ME, and with the wedding only two weeks away, I got all of the preparations for the wedding; the wedding gown was beautiful, it was a  crème dress with a heart neckline and the dress flow down my body with beautiful flower blossoms at the bottom.  I came to see my own fiancé, my brother (Nightwing), and the team.  I greeted everyone with a smile, but when I saw Caldor’s face I knew there was something wrong.  I knew I couldn’t ask Caldor, he would tell me everything was just fine.  So I asked Nightwing, he said, “I can’t tell you, you have to ask him yourself.”  While I turned around to say hi to the girls I notice VIOLET, standing there with her eyes in my direction then Caldor.  Inside my body I felt something wrong inside my heart that included Caldor with Violet, something that I’ve never felt before.  BETRAYAL…  I try to get information to what had happened between them, before I knew it, I finally figured out why I felt that way.  Caldor cheated on me with Violet.  10 minutes later, he told me what was going on, with hatred inside my heart I went with all of the girls beside Violet, to return the wedding things.  The worst thing that I had to return was my wedding dress; it stabbed in the heart so painfully I fell down to my knees crying in front of the girls, who tried to calm me down.  When I came back I find everyone in the hall, I gave Caldor the wedding ring he gave me and told him, “Here it’s a future wedding gift from me.”  When I said that I felt satisfaction, but I realize that it wasn’t enough. I felt this anger boiling inside of me; something came out of me, something I couldn’t stop.  “Do you know the most painful thing I had to return was the wedding dress?!” I realize what I had just said; now feeling 10 times worse than before.  I started to cry from the pain that was within me until Nightwing said to me with sympathy, “It’s ok Jane, let’s just go to the park and get ice cream with everyone except Caldor and Violet.”  I said with no hesitation, “I just need time alone for a while.”  He watched me as I left, away from Caldor and Violet, away from the whole team with pain and guilt in my chest.   Hours later, my brother decided to go out and look for me.

Walking down the street of New York with the trees getting ready for winter, my favorite season of the four; I watched as the orange and red leaves fell down to the ground, people going on a shopping spree for warmer clothes to wear, and kids of different ages playing tag and hide n seek on the playground. The world felt so calm, warm, peaceful, and happy; yet I felt like I was crumbling down, like a crumbled paper, with the pain and guilt I expressed hours ago. I looked at the blue sky full of white fluffy clouds when my brother came up to me with exhaustion. “I’ve been looking ever where for you and why haven’t you been answering your favorite brother’s phone calls hmmm,” he said while smirking so widely that it went up to his ears. I loved my brother so much that he reminded me of our parents; he had our dad’s raven hair, handsome face feature that brought all the girls on their knees with their heart pumping out of their chests, a nice pair of hazelnut eyes, 6’1”, and a body that was tanned and muscular. Every male in the world wouldn’t fight for that body of his. He realized that I was staring at his beautiful features and then chuckled, I immediately blushed; man, the way he chuckled was so cute. His feature was so different from mine; I was 5’ 7” with dark brown hair and hazel eyes, a curvy body. I pretty much have my mother’s feature. “Why are you here?” I asked, “Well I’m here to see if my beautiful sister needs some assistance with her problems with boys.” He said with a smile. I couldn’t help but smile too; then offered to get some crepes; which I couldn’t avoid because I love food.  We went to get crepes at this place I loved so much its name was Crepe Luv, the minute I walk in, I smelled crepes cooking. We went to take our seats with our crepes; I got a crepe with one scoop vanilla ice cream, strawberries, Nutella, and whipped cream; he got a scoop of green tea, strawberries, Nutella, and whipped cream; what can you say we’re brother and sister. We sat there talking about our past, except about our parents; he knew how sensitive I was when it came to our parents. Looking out the window I was thinking about the death of our parents, how they died was no mystery to me. “I was running for my life with my brother by my side, away from the robbers that belong to the kai clan, a clan that was unstoppable. How did our family get involved in it, well it started with my dad being one of the most powerful leader of the world, I know it sounds like I’m bragging but come on who doesn’t want to show how proud you are of your dad. Any ways he got involved in the most powerful drug dealer gang, when my mother realized what her own husband has got himself into she pulled him out. But without my dad’s connection with other powerful people around the world they couldn’t get anywhere; so they decided to get my dad’s secret info to get connection to the leaders, what they didn’t know was that my parents were home that night. When they reached our house with guns and knife in their hands they kicked the door opened and killed my parents while grabbing the info they came for. I screamed to the top of my lung in my masquerade ball gown, seeing my died parents on the floor covered in their own blood I fell to the floor wanted to feel the impact but then my brother caught me, “nightwing”. Did I ever mention that his name was Dick, weird right I don’t know why but I guess my parents liked that name? Holding me against his muscular chest, he brought me to my room. Turning around to leave my room I called out his name, “Dick, stay with me please?” Dick, “Of course”, laying there in my bed next to me, while he pulled me closer to his chest, I feel into a deep sleep.

Sitting there in the crepe place thinking about the past, with tears coming down my red cheeks lifted some weight off my shoulder. My brother looking at me with worry in his hazelnut eyes, he was about to ask me if I was ok but was cut off when I said, “I’m fine don’t worry about.” But he was even more worried about me, knowing that I wasn’t really fine. “Let’s get out of here and go to the park?” he told me. “Sure” I said. We made our way out of the crepe place thinking nothing could wrong, then Caldor and Violet shows up hand in hand and smiling at each other as if nothing happened 2 hours ago. It was sickening to see them all lovey dovey. I grabbed Dick’s hand and almost ran out of the place with Dick following behind me. When we were walking to the park, Dick wrapped his muscular arm around my waist protectively. Looking up at him smiling he smiled back. Jeez, his gorgeous smile, that everyone would die for. When we reached the park, I asked him if I could go to the restroom, “Go but hurry back, if something goes wrong call me.” “Ok!!!!!!” I said. Walking towards the restroom while he sat on the bench, I felt something wrong taking my phone out going to the contacts to call Dick, when a pair of hands reached behind me and covered my mouth from screaming and dropping my phone at the same time.

I shot my eyes open, hoping to find light, but only to find myself in a pitch black. Thinking what was Dick doing at this time, and how is he handling with me going missing without a word when he told me to call him if something was wrong. Looking around the pitch black room, hoping to find an exit. After finding no exits, I had no hope of getting out until the door flung open. Thinking that it was Dick I ran up to him, only to find out that it was the man that killed my parents the night of the masquerade ball. His strong cologne overwhelmed my nose; felling
