GAZE

I LOVE YOU

I rushed inside the Airport, oh my gosh, why it is so big? It is a question of someone’s life and this airport is gigantic. How would I find him? I looked around to search for him. I was panting hard after running that long.

My fear was overwhelming me that it was the last chance to meet him and tell him about my feelings. My body was trembling and I was looking here and there maniacally.

“..oops, I am-m s-so so-r-ry. I d-didn’t-t see-ee you-u.” I was stuttering after bumping into an old lady.

Her handbag fell on the ground. I apologized to her hurriedly and helped her to pick it up. She gave me a weird look but didn’t mind that much. The most important thing was just to get find that f*****g bastard at the moment who was leaving me without letting me know.

Then I composed of myself and looked towards the luggage counter. My eyes widened enough to fit a saucer plate.

“JA…X….ON..” I shrieked which grabbed the attention of other people.

Jaxon was putting his luggage on the counter for the process but after listening to my voice he stopped at the moment and looked at me like a stupor.

After finding him in front of me I felt like time has stopped for me. Everyone has freezes on their place and nobody is looking at us. It was just me and him who is present there.

He was looking perplexed. I walked towards him slowly. My body was not in my control at that moment. My heart was just wanted to make him listen to its beats. Only his name was coming out with every beat.

“Why you were leaving me?” I spat out the words which I should not tell at the moment.

“What… why?” he was looking puzzled and not getting me.

I punched him in his chest.

“..ouch" he winced in the pain after getting sudden punch and fell on the floor.

He was caressing his chest but I grab the chance and jumped on him. I sat on his abdomen with crossed legs on either side. I started to give in light punches on his chest in anger.

“What are you doing Scarlett? Leave me, please.” He was crying in pain.

“No, until you tell me the reason. I am not going to spare you.” I said being stubborn.

“Scarlett…. Behave yourself.” He screamed at me.

I stopped immediately and looking at him intently.

“Now, get up from me. I have to go.” He snarled at me.

I immediately got up from him and stood in front of him after managing my clothes. He too stood up and checked himself too.

“Why do you come here now? What do you want from me?” He growled at me.

“Why do you want to leave me, Jaxon. I know you won't get rid of me that’s why you are going very far. But did you imagine what would happen to me after that? I know you love me and just angry on me but this is not the way to get rid of me forever.” My tears started to flow which I was trying to hold since long and were on the verge of my eyes.

I was looking miserable.

He was looking at me with undefined expressions.

“This not the time to discuss these things now. I have to go.” He reluctantly gave me the answer with his poker face and picked up his bag from the floor which fell when I punched him.

He turned and started moving towards the security check-in. He just took ten steps ahead and my heart was drumming inside me. I was thinking of a way to stop him but not getting anything. I had to do something. I was thinking and the thing with his every step.

I was feeling that if I did not stop him now then he will never come back to me.

My mind was ditching me in helping me anything. Make him stop Scarlett… make him stop. This is your last chance girl. Confess him your feelings. Instead of helping me, my brain was teasing me.

“Will he accept me? It’s too late now to confess him. I already denied him once. What he would feel now? How he will take my confession to him?” my one side of mind was scaring me.

“I….LOVE….YOU, JA..X…ON” I screamed with all heart out.

By looking at his retreating figure I don’t know from where I got so much energy and I did it about which I was fearful.

He stopped in his track and turned towards me with wide eyes. Still, he was not looking like he believed on his ears about what he just heard. He was looking at me with bewilderment. His eyes were narrowing at me and lips lifted a little.

“I love you, Jaxon... I love you…” I was repeating, again and again, to make him trust on his ears that what he heard a moment ago was correct.

Now his eyes widened from narrow brows.

“I know it’s too late to confess my feelings but if I didn’t tell you now then I might lose you forever. I loved you since you proposed to me but I was afraid of being betrayed later. I know I was behaved silly but I locked my emotions for love and always thinking it’s not the tight time. Please forgive me for the stupid things I have done to you. Please accept me.” I hugged him tightly after confessing my feelings towards him.

I was crying by keeping my head on his chest.

He held my shoulders and separated us from the hug. Then he cupped my face with his both hands. He wiped out my tears with his thumb pad. His twinkling grey orbs were drilling in my blue once.

He was smiling by looking at me. Now it was my turn to narrow my eyes.

I asked the untold question by moving my eyes.

“I knew it that you also loved me. I just wanted to give you some time to realize your feelings. But I didn’t aware of that I have to wait for that much longer.” After saying the last line he chuckled.

His thumb pads were still moving on my red cheeks.

“I LOVE YOU TOO, Scarlett. From bottom of my heart, I loved you only. Nobody else can get that place.” He too confessed his feelings and pulled me into a tight hug.

I was inhaling his man cologne and found my solace in his arms. The warmth which I could never get anywhere. I was feeling like, my world is complete now. I didn’t want anything else at that moment.

Then he pulled up my face towards him after breaking our hug. He bent towards me to look into my eyes. His eyes were moving at my face.

And I was ingesting his beauty with my eyes. How could be a boy that handsome? His hot breath was fanning on cheeks which were enough to heat them.

His rolling eyes stopped as it reached on my lips. I pursed my lips after looking at him.

But he did it for what he was waiting for since long. My eyes again widened enough to take out my eyeballs.

He kissed me. Holy crap. My heart flipped again and again after tasting his lips. Several notes were forming in my stomach and I felt numb.

But soon I got my senses and started enjoying the kiss. He was kissing me with full passion yet his touch was soft and wonderful. We forgot about where we were standing. We were busy in our world.

We broke the kiss only after feeling low oxygen and giggled after looking at each other.

Suddenly we heard the announcement from Boarding department.

“its time to leave now.” He dropped my hands from his chest with sad eyes. He was looking at his toes. my hands were still in his clutches. he was rubbing my back of palms with his thumbs.

I trembled on his words.

“But what about me. How I would live without you?” I asked him with frustration.

“I know it will be a little hard for us but I have to go. Pursuing honours in Biotechnology was my dream, you know that right. And people manage to live in long-distance relationships, we can do that, can’t we?” he gave me the reasons which ware looking unreasonable to me st the moment.

“But..” he cut me in between by putting his index finger on my lips when I was about to say something.

“Sushsh...Listen to me. We have trust in each other, right, haven't we? And this is the time to prove it.” He tried to convince me but I was not ready to buy it.

“I will send you my contact number and email address as soon as I will get it after reaching there. Now I have to go.” He said to me in hurry and promised to be in touch always.

"Buy, take care of yourself." After saying that he kissed me on my lips again and rushed towards the security check-in.

I was looking at his going figure. My heart was aching from inside. I bid him farewell with a plastered smile but my eyes were welled up. He was trying too, to smile at me but sadness was dripping from his eyes for leaving me.

Somehow I was happy that finally, I confessed to him and now we will be in Long distance relationship. Will it work for us? I was worried about my feelings. Four years were long enough to judge our patience, trust and bonding.
