“How are you different from any other person who has promised to help me? TO PROTECT ME?!”

By this time the tears are spilling over. She started to to open the door to go inside her building.

“STOP!” I roared.

She stopped. Tears in her eyes, she turned around and looked me dead in my eyes. Dead. That’s exactly how you would explain the emotion I saw when I looked from the ground and returned her gaze.

“No more running.... no more hiding. You can’t keep hiding your feelings! You can’t just keep putting on a mask and saying ‘everything is going change’ when you and I both know it never will!”

Her gaze livened a little at my words but hurt still lurking in the depths. Her brows furrowed in a way of confusion. I walked closer to her until I was looking down into her wet , tear stained eyes. I reached out to cup her cheek. I could see her breath slightly exhale on the cold chilly night air. I wiped the trail of tears with my glove admiring the red tint on her cheek from the cold. I slowly raised my eyes to meet her brown doe eyes and leaned in. Her confused eyes went from confusion to alarm as she realized what I was about to do. Right before I reach those full luscious lips wanting to claim them as my own since the first time I laid eyes on her. I nuzzled our noses together and whispered,

“Let me help you, let me protect you.”

“But why ?”, her eyes now soft like melted chocolate. Her brows still furrowed in confusion.

- Because.....because..... I love you...-
