"But you didn't do that. You failed my efforts angel. And even blamed me." He shook his head in dejection. "Angel I am not an expressive being. I just do the right things. But looks like you don't trust me." He said then closed his eyes.
"You can't be with me forever. One day you would want to move on. To see the world. To fell in love and to have your own family. I just wanted to prepare you for that day. But you failed me." He said opening his eyes. They were calm now like all the turbulence has passed.
His scars were still there. But his calmness made her feel bad. She wanted to deny to rebuke that he was wrong. She wouldn't leave him ever. Unless he asks her to go, she would stay with him forever. But she stopped herself by biting her lips with all her might.
How in the name of God she had known, he had given her this much power. She thought she would be the reason for being his insult. So she behaved meek .she didn't retort anyone thinking that he would feel ashamed because of her. He could have said or explained. She is not that smart to understand all these things. She was just trying to protect his image. After all, she was... What is she?
He said he doesn't see her as a friend. Would she be called his mistress if she lived in his house like this? Is that why he wants her to be strong and leave. At the end what is she to him?
"Asbeel," she called taking back his attention om her. "You said I am not your friend then what am I to you?"
He gave her a painful smile and looked out of The window. Looking out at the far corner of the world, into the horizon he said, "you are like a small bird to me which is caught by a hunter. Who was happy to take her as a prize but don't know when he felt touched with her innocence. How she shows love to him, a killer.
So he decided to make her strong. So that one day when he frees her. She could easily fly to the horizon. She would never fall again in the hands of any other hunter. You are meant to fly angel and I am not even for earth. I belong to hell and you to heaven."
He freed her hands ready to let go. So that she could stand and move out. But what he hadn't expected is that the moment he would let her hands-free. She hugged him with all her might and kiss every part of his skin.
The kisses start from his forehead, then to the marks where he was burnt but later turned urgent and she touched him with her lips anywhere and everywhere possible. Her kisses turning sloppy, wet and hot. His face, cheeks, neck, nose. She kissed him everywhere. Only leaving after a time to take her breath.
She looked into his surprised eyes and then after giving the last look she crashed her lips on his. Maybe this is the first time she kissed someone. Just putting her lips on his for a second she moved back thinking that's what it is done. Then she did it again and again.
He would have laughed and mocked her foolish attempt if his body weren't reacting to her not so sexy attempts. The only touch of her lips to his was making him heated, his tension building up
. She was still on his lap with bare legs is not helping him at all. When she moves the friction created between his pants her underwear was burning him to the core. His body was reacting, getting his pole erect.
His erectness is strong now, he was hard and he wants her. He decided to just take her and her misery but her next words were like cold water on him. "I think I am in love with you Asbeel, " she said and hugged him.
"Love" he repeated and she nodded. Hiding her head in his chest. But that was enough to let the hell loose in him he held her shoulders strongly and jerked back.
She wasn't prepared for this, from his denial, for his coldness. She knew he doesn't love but looking at his behaviour towards her, a tiny part of her had thought maybe, just maybe she was truly special for him.
The coldness in his eyes was like shreds of glasses tearing her. She flinched when he held her waist and put her on the seat like a sack. Although his movements were rough yet careful.
After putting her there he stood up ready to go. She wanted to ask what his response was, but his attitude had already told her. And somewhere she is happy that he hasn't denied her straight straightforwardly. She wouldn't be able to handle his cold words. At least not now.
Since his scars were looking better she didn't follow him for now. Controlling the erratic breathing of her heart, she just sat there looking out at the empty streets. Far away on the horizon where earth and sky meet.
Just like both of them, they are together yet the gap remains. Will they always remain like this like the earth and sky. She remembered the poet assemblies happen where she worked. How they describe it's beauty.
Lovers who remain together forever but never be able to love each other. She always thought they are just speaking nonsense yet at this moment, it feels like how true their words were.
