Fractured hearts

Secrets

Standing in the kitchen I known I should have gone with tara to help her pack some of her belonging but I don't want to over step as she hasn't officially moved into my penthouse yet, she has a couple of items here but the penthouse still looks and feels like its mine. I saw the look on her face clear as day when I asked her to move in and yes it was for selfish reason and for her safety but I know Tara still needs some of her own space which I have no issue with her having but my world right now is dangerous, I cant afford to lose Tara. I started pacing a hour ago waiting for tara to return home and when I hear the elevator I couldn't be more happy to know she's back, I would say I have been patiently waiting but I haven't. When tara returns all she has with her is a bag and a laptop in her hands which she is already working on as she walks straight past me and towards the lounge.

"I have a few bits I need to work on then i'll meet you in the bedroom" I hear tara says before throwing herself on the sofa and typing on her laptop, I open a bottle of whiskey and pour myself three fingers before necking it and pouring myself another one to nurse as I wait for her. Tara hasn't bought her eyes from the laptop as I look at her I see her eyes move back and fourth and her facial expression are saying an awful lot right now but I don't want to overstep, I know she will ask for my help if she needs it.

Taking my second glass of whiskey into the bedroom I undress myself and take a seat bring my phone up to go though my emails, its late and I know tara has already eaten but what could be more important on her laptop at this time. I am starting to learn that I don't know much about my wife but we are still in our early days of getting to know each other, so far I barely know anything about my little wife. I start deleting emails when one comes though from the guy I got tailing her, I received a photo with the email and as I look at the photos I see tara sitting on the grass crying, this has peaked my interest as I sit up needing to know who hurt her and what I can do to make her life a little easier.

After work tara walked back to her apartment where she spent a hour inside, there was no sign of anyone else inside the apartment, within a hour tara was dressed and out the apartment and in her car where she taken the car journey to a grave yard, a ten minute walk from the parking to a grave stone of Blake Davies. A research of Blake Davies turned out he was killed in a car crash where the passenger was his girlfriend Tara, Tara declined paramedics help resulting in the paramedic unaware of any injuries she could have occurred from the accident. A police report have confirmed that Blake died from blood lost, however tara was seen screaming at another man who had to peel her hand away from Blake's hand as his lifeless body laid there. Blake body was pulled from the accident and believed to be alive for five minutes before dying.

Upon leaving the grave yard tara spoke the words "You will always have my heart" I was unable to receive word for word of what was said while tara visited the grave. After leaving the grave yard tara took the drive back to her apartment where she was in and out less than twenty minutes and drove straight to the penthouse.

I read the email and I bite my lower lip trying to understand what I am currently reading, I knew tara had a past like everyone else but what I didn't expect was for tara to witness her first love to die in a car crash. I know nothing about the car crash but I intend to look into it for her, I want to know everything about tara and that includes what happened to her first love, I know I could just ask but after seeing her break down at his grave stone I don't think I should bring it up till she's ready. I know its possible for people to have more then one love but as I look at the photo I can see the love is still there for him, I don't know how I am supposed to complete with this, I am sure Blake will always have her heart first but I will show her its ok to love again if thats what she's need.

I have no issue on being patient and letting tara come to me as in time I know she could love me, like I am starting to like her a little more day by day, I have a clear understanding this was five years ago from the date of death on his grave stone, I place my phone down as tara comes into the bed giving me a shy smile before climbing into bed, She may have said Blake will always have her heart but plan on showing her that its ok to love both the memory of Blake and me.

"You got everything sorted sweetheart" I ask wanting to make sure everything is ok before we go sleep, I give tara a quick peck on her forehead before pulling her into a cuddle wanting her to be closer then she just was. Tara doesn't fight me on the cuddles instead she wiggles her cute little bum into me with a shy smile, I have one arm under her pillow and the other wrapped around her stomach. I feel her cold feet against my legs and as much as I want to pull back as they are freezing I man it out just this time. She's getting socks for the apartment.

"Yes, all done" I hear before watching tara close her eyes with a smile, I adore the way she sleeps sometimes that I stay up a little longer to watch her. When she stops wiggling against me I know she's out like a light, I don't close my eyes for another second just needing to watch her for a second before going sleep, she's an angel when she's sleeps.
