And now he is angry. Word, by word, Elsin frowns a little deeper while his aura starts to expand and envelops me. I stop talking. The pressure from his aura is penetrating my body and it feels as if my bones will be crushed at any moment. Huh, and I thought women were the jealous ones.
I smirk on the inside. I guess he is not as impervious to me as he thought. That will teach him to mess with me.
I am about to start speaking again when I realize I can't move my lips. I try to make a sound, but nothing escapes. Elsin, resumes his statue face, and controls his aura, I internally sigh in relief. That pressure is no joke. I watch as he removes his hand from me, and I want to yell at him some more. Why did he take his hand off? We were just getting to the good part.
He turns around and walks to a portion of the wall on the other side of the cave. I watch as he lifts his hand and snaps his fingers. The dirt falls away, and lines appear on the wall and my cheeks start to turn red. I want to look away, but I can't. I freeze.
Elsin turns around and walks back to me.
"What were you saying? Who is the one who did not communicate with you these past two years?"
On the wall, is a note written in red:
Contact me using the stone under the large tree in the forest beside the cave. It is not safe here. I have to leave for some time. I will be back, wait for me.
I could cry but no tears come. Now, I feel dumb.
I can't even say anything back to him anymore. Damn it. Me and carelessness.

2 Years Ago In the Cave
"Elsin, why did you bring me here? I am freezing in this cold." I pout and look at him tearfully.
Elsin gives me an ironic look because he knows I said it because I want a hug from him.
Elsin, uncharacteristically, obliges, and wraps his arms around me. I am stunned for a moment but then grin and burrow my way into his jacket.
My muffled voice sounds as I ask, "Why the special treatment today? I have to usually beg and while for a while before getting anything from you."
I feel a pinch on my waist and hear a deep, melodic voice in my ear, "Shut up dumb one."
I start to pull away, why does he always call me dumb. What did I do to deserve that title? I come first in my class, okay? I am not dumb.
I try to struggle a little but then give up and snuggle back in his arms. I will let him off for today because he is being so affectionate with me. I feel a kiss on the top of my head.
Then I feel a slight pressure on my ear. He bites down on my earlobe and I gasp. I then feel him kiss my neck and now I feel dazed.
Wow. I wonder what is up with him today, he is being strangely proactive. I then get a strange feeling in my heart. Something feels wrong.
I want to pull out of his arms once more but then he holds me tight and doesn't let me go.
I tilt my head back a little and try to look into those beautiful eyes of his.
I don't get very far. The next thing I know, he seals his lips to mine. I stop breathing, while he starts to nibble my lips, taking his sweet time. I forget what I was worried about a second ago and become entranced with the kiss. My hubby is being unusually active today, how can I not oblige him.
I eagerly wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. I turn his slow and shallow kiss into a deep one. His tongue intertwines with mine and I feel my heart pounding in my chest. I feel my cheeks grow hot when I feel his hand traveling under my dress.
Elsin picks me up and then puts me on the bed, all the while ravishing my lips. You may be wondering what a bed was doing in a cave. Well, never say a girl lacks a sex drive. I like doing the deed too! It's good to be prepared. The last time when Elsin found out what I did, he just called me silly and didn't say anything more. I knew he was okay with me doing that. He didn't break it, did he now?
My thoughts drifted a little but Elsin quickly took all my focus away with his touch. After that, the night passed in a drunken haze of bliss, that I would remember for many of the lonely nights to come.

Present – In the Cave
Then I woke up in the morning and found the sheets were empty and cold.
Now, that I think about it, Elsin is not one to leave without a word. I was too angry then, thinking that he had left me to really look around and after that, I never came back to this cave. It hurt too much, and my heart felt as if it would be crushed under the weight of loneliness.
So, I never saw the words on the wall, and it has been now two years. Fate is cruel...
"Now, what do you have to say for yourself?"
I feel my body can move once again. Elsin removed the binds
All the anger and resentment pretend or not, I was holding for the last few years dissipates from my body and I am left feeling guilty and embarrassed.
Now, it's my turn to be put on the burner. I was the one cheating on Elsin. I remember what I told Elsin about the Fiancé thing before and I wish the ground would just open and swallow me whole.
God, I have so much explaining to do. I lift my eyes a little to peek at him and see him staring at me with those emotionless eyes of his.
Now what?
