Chapter 10 - TEARS

Seeing him dressed like that Aliya felt her walls crumbling to dust all the defense she had put against her heart was broken by the sight of this man.

He was doing it again, he was doing the exact same thing he did to her in the past. After all the years she spent building up this wall he just destroyed it in a matter of seconds.

Aliya wanted to cry so badly but she couldn't show her weak self in front of him or anyone else.

No matter what happens she has to continue like this as it was the best way to live her life. She kept telling herself but her body seemed to be thinking otherwise.

Her body was yearning for his touch so badly it had been years and she still couldn't forget about him. She had loved him so much to the extent that she couldn't live without him.

This past few years had been hell, she had struggled building up this facade that he just destroyed in a matter of seconds.

Aliya sighed as she saw him walk towards her.

Skyler had followed her to the bar, he was the one watching her. Even during the fight he watched as she beat the hell out of those fools. He wanted to intervene but he didn't want her to notice him.

He left the bar when he was sure that she was safe only for him to see her car crash on a tree.

Since he saw her in the hospital after all this years, he wasn't sure what to feel. It took him sometime to compose himself after seeing her after all this years.

All he wanted to do right now was hug her and inhale her natural lovely scent, he wanted to kiss her like there was no tomorrow and hug her till night fall.

He wanted to do all the things he couldn't do in the past but he knew that he couldn't, not yet. He still had some explaining to do.

He brought the soup closer to her and then scoop a little and blew it.

Seeing his actions Aliya just couldn't take it anymore, he was doing it again, he was breaking her.

"Why" Came her hoarse voice as silent tears rolled down from her eyes. she just couldn't take anymore of it.

Her heart had been longing for him all this while and now that he was here she.....

Skyler felt his heart break into a million pieces as the tears rolled down from her eye lids. He was fighting with himself not to hug her and console her. He couldn't hold back anymore as his hand stretched forward to touch her cheek, he couldn't control himself. seeing her cry was like seeing his whole world break to pieces. infact she was his whole world. He loves This girl with every bit of his heart. She was his everything, without her his life wasn't worth leaving and he knew that for a fact.

" Don't you dare touch me" Came her stern voice. Her expression had changed again, she was still crying but her face was still cold.

"Love.."

Before he could finish his sentence a slap landed on his cheek.

Aliya's hand was stinging after that hard slap. She just couldn't take it anymore, everything was too much.

"Don't even think of completing that sentence" came her sharp words as more tears poured from her eyes. she was loosing it. How could he do this to her, after everything he was still saying that word. No, she was not going to fall for it this time.

Skyler didn't send to be angry about the slap, instead he unclasped his belt surprising Aliya.

"What are you doing?"Aliya asked with her hoarse voice. What surprised her more was when he stretched out his hand and gave her the belt.

" Here you can slap, punch, hit and even flog me I don't mind. Just please stop crying..." He said the last part with a solemn voice.

"I....I can't bear to see you crying"
