"Why not?" 


I sigh. 

"Jamie, did something happen that I do not know about?" 

I recalled the memory a lot of times the days passed, I did plan on telling Dakota but I can't find the right time. I did plan on telling her 3 days ago but she got admitted here in the hospital. Now, I can't just make up a reason.......at some point, I have to tell her.......It scares me. 

"Jamie, speak up!" 

I held her hand and pulled her closer to me. 

"Remember that time when you and Dulcie played in your room and you left me all alone outside?" 

"Yes, why?" 

"I went outside your apartment to formally make a complaint to the police in that way they could arrest Amelia so she would have no way in reaching us" 

She sits up and leans into me closer, clutching my hands tighter. 

"As I was about to go down the elevator.......Amelia was next to me, pointing a gun into my head. I thought I was going to die, I was saying my prayers and goodbyes in my head. My body was stiff that I can't make a move on her......she already had the perfect chance to kill me, but she didn't. Whatever made her stop, I will forever be grateful for it." 

"She told me that If I ever filed a complaint to the police......"

I AM GOING TO VOMIT. 

I CAN FEEL MY EYES SHUTTING DOWN. 


SHIT JAMIE, BE STRONG. 


"What Jamie?" 

I look at Dakota and hug her closer to me. 

"Jamie, what is it?" 

"She said, she'll kill you straight on without hesitation" 

I stare at Dakota waiting for her reaction. I know she's afraid. When my girlfriend's hands start to feel cold, I know she's afraid. But instead of showing it, she took a deep breath, smiled at me and said 

"Jamie, I think I've figured that out the day when she pointed a knife in my neck......I know that one of her goals is to kill me, It's not a surprise" 


My girlfriend is the strongest women I've laid eyes upon. 


"That won't make me leave you okay? As long as we stick together, we'll be okay. The bad guy never wins, remember that" 

"The police was the only solution we have for her to stop. It's hard to confront face to face with a woman like her and I couldn't put your life at risk anymore, baby. I saw you on the floor, cold and lifeless with blood oozing out of your neck -" 

"But still Jamie, I'm alive. You think I'm one of those people who would suddenly give up without a goddamn fight just because I almost got faced to faced with death?" she said in a very sassy tone. I tried to hide my smile, but I failed and eventually turned into laughs. 

"There's my boyfriend!" she hugs me and plants kisses on my arms, my neck and my face. 

I grabbed her waist and placed her on my lap. 

"You know, you really are superwoman!" She gasped and starts to flex her arms, imitating super heroes from movies and comics. 


My wonder woman. 

I hear muffled voices behind me and saw Dulcie waking up once more from her 'sleeping beauty' like slumber. 


"and here......" I whispered while slowly leaning towards dulcie who greeted me with a grin on her face. I scoop her in my arms and sat her between me and dakota. 

"Here's our little super girl!" me and dakota said in unison. 


"I'm not super girl......I'm a princess" Dulcie demanded. 


"Then........Princess Dulcie it is. Ten ten ten te-te-te-ten-ten"  Dakota said while bowing her head down for our very own Princess.

 Dulcie smiles while waving her hands to Dakota and me, making me clap my hands while laughing my heart out. 




I told you. 

These two are alike. 

Like, two peas in a pod.
