Without His Love
873 Words
A few days passed by in this way and I've learnt to be stronger against him.
I've learnt to protect myself with a strong shield.I despised him at that moment.
Why can't we be okay? Why didn't he love me anymore?
A knock was placed on my door.I secretly prayed that it was him but instead a maid entered.
"Miss,Mr.Vernon asked me to help you pack up." She said.
"Pack up? For what?" I asked.
"For going Petersburg.There is a grand party held by Mr.Robert Vernon." She said.
"It is to celebrate the victory against Richards' company." She added.
"Oh...'' I trailed off.
"When are we going?" I asked.
"Day after tomorrow, miss." She said.
"Okay thank you." I said.
She helped me pack up my clothes and a few necessary things.She left after cleaning my room.
Suddenly,my phone buzzed.
"Hello Enrique." I spoke first.
"I am so excited." He said.
"Why? What's up?" I asked.
"Um... can you meet me right now?" He asked.It felt more like he requested.
"Enrique I-" He cut me off,"Please...?" He said.
"Okay sure." I laughed.
-
"Tell me." I said.
"Did you hear about the Petersburg party?" He asked excitedly.
"Yes,I did." I replied.
"I am so glad to be invited." I added.
"So...this is weird.I know..." He said.
"But would you like to be my date?" He asked.
"Date...?" I was stunned by his question.I didn't know what to answer to that.I didn't want to be his date but Luke's but it seemed like he clearly had no interest in me.
"Yeah... sure." I said with a smile.He was really excited when I said yes.
After chatting for a while,I headed back home.
The first thing my eyes caught was that man smoking in the darkness.
His love for me disappeared like the smoke.
I took a while to admire him but he wounded my heart so bad that I was lost completely.
I walked towards my room and decided to call it a night.
I couldn't just forget about it.We are two humans living in the same house,under the same roof.Yet we aren't talking with each other.
That night,I craved for his touch the most.My skin was desperate for his touch.They wanted his fingers on my body.I wanted to feel his skin on mine.I wanted to kiss those perfect,soft lips.I wanted to grip his hair.Didn't he miss me like I missed him? Tears crawled down my eyes.I sobbed loudly.If anyone was passing by the room,they would definitely hear me.
I tore a paper and wrote some words on it:Maybe we have said our final goodbyes,
But oh my beloved,I will meet you on the other side.
In a different way or in a different world.
I promise,I will give you my soul.
Oh beloved, don't you lie.
All our goodbyes were just a lie.
But oh my beloved,I will meet you on the other side.
In a different way or in a different world.
You will always be the love of my life.
I crumbled the paper and threw it away on the ground.Let him be whomever he wants.If he doesn't care about me then so shouldn't I.
It was foggy all around.My eyes were moisty and my heart was heavy.I sat on my bed and looked at the door.It slowly opened as he entered.That cruel and cold hearted man entered.
He walked towards me and captured my lips.He pushed me to the bed as I fell down with him over me.My lips were drenched with his saliva.
I moaned in between our kisses.
I gripped his hair and ran my fingers through them.
Suddenly,there was a white flash and it all ended.I jumped out of my sleep.It was all just a dream.
I opened my eyes and realized I was sweating immensely.My whole face was drenched with tears.A few maids were around me.One of them was wiping the sweat off my forehead.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You were screaming in your sleep so we came to see what happened." She said.
Then I noticed that lean,tall figure standing by the door.
"I am fine.You guys can leave." I said.She nodded and they left.
He came in quietly.His tired face rose the excruciating pain in my heart.My heart was screaming for him.
I looked down on the bed.I couldn't bear looking at him let alone make eye contact.
I didn't hear his voice in the past week and I was dying to hear it.I was dying to kiss him.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when that magnetic touch was placed on cheek.I looked at him in fear in my eyes.It didn't matter how much he'd hurt me.He was always capable of conquering me once again.
"Sleep now.Everything's fine.'' He whispered.Then I lost it,I completely lost it.Tears streamed down.He slowly wiped the tears and laid me down on the bed.He covered me with the duvet and sat beside me.I closed my eyes and he massaged my head.I wish he would wipe my tears like this forever.
Minutes passed by in this way.I didn't sleep because I wanted to live every moment he was close to me.
He didn't leave my side either.He held my hand and sat beside me quietly.
All of a sudden,he stopped and stood up.He walked where the crumbled piece of paper was.He picked it up and looked at me.
He read the small writing and asked,"What's this?"
"Nothing." I replied.He sighed and put it inside his pajama's pocket.
He sat beside me and then I fell asleep.
In my sleep,I felt something on my lips.My heart fluttered in happiness.I knew that our love still existed.
