The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 79

Remember that I asked you nicely first

With a scowl on her face, Melina turned around to look at Peach, and then she looked over at Matt, a few distances away from them, standing close to the wall, his back resting against the concrete, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. 

“Who is he?” Melina asked her tone hard, making it evident that she wasn’t letting this go easily. 

Knowing that the only reason she and Elijah were here was that that was what her mother wanted, Peach tried not to show anything on her face, trying her best to keep her emotions hidden. 

“He’s Elijah’s friend,” Peach answered after taking a deep breath and calming her raging mind. “Elijah has a friend?” Melina scoffed in confusion, raising an eyebrow at Peach before glaring at Matt. 

“What do you want, Melina?” 

“Elijah,” 

Silence fell over them, Peach holding her gaze straight ahead as Melina stared angrily at her, waiting for an answer, only finding it odd when Peach kept silent with an unreadable expression. 

“I want Elijah back… After all, I was married to him first, and my feelings for him never left even after we were divorced.” Melina said, her voice becoming soft all of sudden. 

For a moment Peach didn’t reply, and the only sound that filled the hall was their heavy breathing, until finally, Peach spoke in a hushed voice, struggling not to lose her anger,” What are you saying, Melina?” 

“I’m saying that I miss Elijah… So much… I missed him… And every time I look at him, I realize how much I was stupid to let him go… He was my first love… The one person who truly loved me, whom I truly loved… We were meant to be together… You know that… We are meant to be together…” Melina explained, her eyes beginning to tear up. “You still love him!” Peach scoffed in disbelief, unable to hide the hurt that filled her voice. but she didn’t care. 

“Yes…”
