“White, purple, and blue,” I practically blurt.
“Okay listen up I need you to calm down and listen to me. The wire ordering starts from the top down. Okay?”
“Yes.”
“The purple isn’t common. I think that’s some spin of shit your pals played. It could be a rogue wire that can detonate, or it could be non-functional. So this is what you’ll do but it’s a game of chance.”
I grit my teeth when he says that. “Okay. I got it,” I answer.
“If the last wire is white cut that. If it’s the blue one cut that one. Good luck.”
The last wire is blue. I’m going to cut that. We now have six minutes.
We have six minutes and I’m going to cut the blue wire and hope like fuck it’s the right one.
Before I do that though I’m going to be selfish and take some of that time to tell Mimi how I feel just in case it doesn’t work.
I won’t make the mistake again of leaving without telling her I love her.
This time, if it doesn’t work, I’ll be leaving for good.
Chapter Forty-Seven
Mimi
I getthat feeling again where the conflict of emotion warring inside me is so strong I don’t know what to feel.
Panic.
Terror.
Love...
How can I look at this man before me and not feel love?
I met him when I was four and I swear to God I felt it back then. I’d put my name to it that it’s true. I think it’s true. I look at him and I know it for truth.
As he stares back at me I see love sparkling deep in his eyes. I see that and the dark edge of goodbye. Goodbye, if this doesn’t work. If he can’t disarm the bomb.
I know him.
He was speaking to someone who could help. The only way he could look the way he does right now is if they told him it might not work.
Salvatore won’t tell me that part though. He won’t.
We have less than five minutes now.
So little time so I’m going to say all that matters. Just in case it doesn’t work.
He smiles and reaches out to touch my face.
“Thank you for staying with me,” I mutter and return the smile. My face still hurts from the way Marc beat me. I’m in pain but I’m smiling at my man.
"Babygirl where else am I going to be?” He gives me that sexy smirk and smooths his hand over my jaw to cup my face. “I can't let you go Mimi. I can’t…What I said before the other day… I can't do it. I can't be without you."
As he speaks the words love pushes through the swirl of emotion. It comes through and I feel it so strong it could be a tangible entity before me.
"Well… just like always I wasn't going to listen.” I don’t know where I’ve summoned humor from but it’s here. “I wasn't going anywhere. I figured I'd spend the rest of my life trying to find ways to keep you. Make up some excuse to see you. Then you'd just get tired of me and give in."
