The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

A week to get it done

Pacing back and forth as she bit on her nails, Peach couldn‘t get herself to stop panicking like her hold world was on the line, and she kept tapping her phone against her palm, wondering if she should send Elijah a text or call. “He said he will handle it… You trust that he can take care of it… So why are you freaking out, damn it!” Peach hissed at herself through gritted teeth. Then she froze when she heard the sound of the door unlocking, causing her ears to raise slightly, listening, and then her eyelids shut when she heard Elijah‘s voice in the living room, saying, “You can just leave them here, Dice.”

For a moment, she didn‘t move, not even when their room door opened and she heard his footsteps approaching from behind her. Smiling softly, Elijah hugged her from the back, nuzzling his nose into her neck as he wrapped an arm around her waist before pressing his cheek against hers.

Her body stiffened as her emotions got the best of her. She tried to hide it, but it was too late, and Elijah knew from the response of her body toward him, and he said softly, “What is it, darling?”

“I trust you… But every time you walk out that door, my heart gets restless and I am scared…” Peach sighed quietly, letting out a shaky breath. “I swear I can not help it.”

Her words woke up a part of him that Melina killed… During their entire marriage, she never worried about his well–being. When he walked out, she never cared to be concerned, except when she was drunk or frustrated and needed someone to dump her toxicities towards and make her feel better.

“I don‘t think I want to abide by rule one anymore… It kills me to know that you are out there, and I know nothing about your well–being or whereabouts… So…” Peach trailed off, her hands fisting her t–shirt while she fought tears threatening to escape from her eyes.

Pulling away from her, Elijah grabbed her arm, slowly turning her around to face him, knowing that she was slowly destroying the walls he built after his divorce… and his one thought was, ‘Fuck this.‘

Eyes locked with hers, his heart was beating fast, he stroked her cheeks, saying, “If you miss me, ring my phone up, and whatever you want to know, I will try my best to ease your worry

and curiosity, okay?”

Nervous that he was understanding about her interfering with his rule, Peach just stood still, looking down at their feet as she processed what he had said.
