"I love you, Betty," Nix said placing the tendrils of her hair behind her ear with that, he kissed her again but this time she let him. He smiled within himself at the thought that she had forgiven him and decided to listen to him.
The two gasped for breath after they had broken their long lasted kiss
"What do you want from me?" Betty said wiping her lips that were just kissed
"Listen to me...hear me out....I can explain".
"Okay".
Nix smiled
"..I divorced Sasha and....."
"Sajan is your son?"
"Yes" Nix stammered
"So you deceived me?"
"No Betty," he said kneeling on one knee
"I love you Betty and I would never do anything to hurt you bet me on that...I just don't know how all these came about but only if could wish all these away so that we both can be the way we were. Betty, I love you and I hope you still do"
A tear fell from her eyes
"Do you love me, Betty?"
She nodded
Nix hugged her tightly
"Let me fix all these Betty....please...I can.."
"No Nix"
"..."
"Let's be friends"
Before Nix could even form sentences again due to the shock he just experienced from what she just said what Betty said left his mouth hanging wide open
"But don't get me wrong. It's not your fault... it's mine."
"Nix" she called his name softly holding his hands
"I am a changed person. I need to find myself and I don't think we're compatible anymore."
Nix rolled his eyes.
"Is it because of the way I treated you? or because of Miss Lin or My son Sajan or...." he ranted on and on
"No.....no no not at all, Nix. You know I don't mean it like that. Please don't put words into my mouth."
Nix hugged Betty
"See nix let me....".
"Talk less....feel me more"
Betty kept quiet and let Nix pour out his pain in whatever way he seemed better.
Betty began to hum the tone "someone you loved"
Nix raised his head to face her
"Can you sing it?"
Betty nodded and began to sing
"Now the day bleeds into nightfall and you're not here to get me through it all I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved"
"... is it about me?" he asked
"I don't know" she stammered
"Am sorry I let you down"
"I forgive you nix but it's late I need to sleep"
Nix looked at her.
"Can we sleep together?"
Betty raised a brow.
"But in an innocent way?" he added
She smiled.
"Okay"
Nix kissed her again.
"I have a heart that does not want to love anyone but you and eyes that do not want to see anyone but you. For me, you're more than enough"
"I'm trying to pick myself piece by piece"
"I understand" and he carried her into the house without letting her say anything else.
