ETHAN...
"I'm sorry, Ariya I'm sorry for everything I said and how I said it. You do not deserve any of that from me. You've been nothing but supportive right from the first time You set eyes on me and I shouldn't be an ass hole to you."
She still doesn't say anything and my heart shatters into a million pieces. I guess I might just give her a clue then.
"Ariya look, a lot has been happening to me lately and a lot will still happen. My life is a whole mess right now you have no idea. I don't want to get you involved in this mess. I want to protect you, I should be protecting you and the only way to do that is to keep you away from me"
"What ever that mess is, I want in. I'm not gonna let you push me away like you always do." She takes my face into her palms.
"I wanna help you ok? Don't shut me out" her fervent breath fanning against my face as she speaks so soft. She's doing it again, damn! I'm so vulnerable to her touch and her gaze. I feel myself leaning in and closer but she turns her face away. I know she wants this as much as I do. I use my right index finger to get her eyes on mine. Again. Please please just do not! Go blue, I warn my eyes. She still tries to resist and pull away but I hold her firm in a soft way, I can't bare hurting her. I bring my lips slowly to hers claiming her lower lip holding it in between my teeth bitting on it slowly, I kiss her more intensely daring her body not to respond. Her head tilts backwards in response to my kiss and touch as my left hand found her boobs and her swollen nipple begging for a touch. I caress it on the cloths she has on. I give little love bites on her neck and I feel her body go weaker and weaker, she is melting down on me.
My mind races back to when she stole a kiss from me,she has no idea how that saved my life, how she saves my life! I move my lips back to hers kissing the life out of her, savoring the taste of her red berry taste mouth. I steak my tongue in her mouth and it meets hers, I wrap mine around hers and claim her lips again. I do not want to break this. The hand she has on my left cheek slides down to my chest, I hoped it keeps sliding down till it unties my towel and I feel a swelling beneath my towel at the thought of that, shit! Betrayed! Ariya pushes me off me off gently assisted by hand I thought will make me go nuts.
You have no idea what you do to me Ariya, the connection is so strong I can feel it and I bet she can too. But y?
"I...I.. hum hum, I really have to go. It's really late now." She stands on her feet on saying that.
I recover myself back before standing too.
"Yeah sure." I move to the window and look down.
"I don't see your car outside. I guess I'll just bring you home, give me a second to dress up. She faces the door so I dress up but hey I'm hot and sexy I know she'll peep.
Pulling my trousers over my thighs by the waist band to my waist, I pulse when I hear her say something.
"Tomorrow is your birthday"
Is she asking me or telling me? Oh she's telling me. I'm just as shocked as my 'man' was when she touched me. Great I'm fvked!!
"How did you know about that?"
"When you were brought to the hospital last year, a lot of people gossiped about the fact that you might die and it's your birthday and tomorrow is the 26th of October 2020, same day for last year 2019."
I don't know what to say. I guess I'm in deeper shit now.
"So you kept the date?" I ask zipping up my pants.
"I did" she confirms and turns around.
"Can we have dinner tomorrow night?"
"I would love to" how do I tell her I can't? It was easier less than an hour ago, not now, not right now!, not after the spell binding kiss.
"But... but.. I can't, there's some place very important I must be.
"Going to visit aunt? I can come with you "
"No! Not that. Let's just keep that dinner for another day please? Ok? Please?"
"Fine" she accepts but I know she's mad.
"I'll make it up to you"
"As always "
I ignore her comment and hurriedly dress up then pick up my car keys.
"Let's go?"
"Yeah" we head out the door.
The Ariya I know is very stubborn, she won't just agree against the dinner tomorrow. Hmmmm but thank God she gave in. Maybe.
We are awfully quiet in the car during the ride. Nobody daring to say nothing but I wanna talk about the kiss because that is the only thing that's in my head right now.
"Ermmm" I clear my throat to speak up. "I.." I start growling, that gaddamn thing again, she holds the wheel to control the car before we get into an accident. She controls it till the car gets under a tree and I smatch the breaks unconsciously so much so that it shut the engine down. It hurts so bad.
"Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I growl and growl and confuse her more and more.
"Let me call the doctor" she says clinging to the edge of the chair she's seated in. Taking out her phone, I toss it from her hands to the backseat.
"No!"
"Ethan your eyes" she says reaching for the door handle and it's not opening. She looks terrified. I turn my face to the opposite direction.
I press my head until the ache leaves me. Ariya just sits there as steel as stone.
I know I know I'm so screwed, how can I protect you if I can even get you killed in a car accident Ariya?
It took me a while before I turned to look at her again, she was already looking in my direction. Frightened.
