An Angel Fall

Black or White

I stayed still, just watching the ocean and how the waves crashed against the shore and then retrieved back, is almost 2 hours since he left me here, is getting cold but I don't want to move yet, I cannot face him.

I should have explained to him, why I couldn't be with him?, now he is out there doing God knows what... will he have found with whom to release himself? Why after everything he's done, I want to be his woman?

Asher's POV

She rejected me again! Why the hell she rejects me.... I can feel how my touch affects her, how much she enjoys my kisses, how turn-on she gets by me, just as much as I do for her. I was about to get out and look for a bar when I heard Demetrius calling my name from his office, "where do you think you're going?", I raised my eyebrow, "troubles in paradise so soon?... come let me serve you a drink, looks like you need it", he offered, and I'm too tired to decline so I closed the door, advance towards his office.

I took a seat and grabbed the whiskey he gave me, took a bit of sip, and sighed, he started laughing which made me mad, so I stood up and started to walk to the exit, "Come on!!!, Since when you are so sensitive?", My face expression must have answered him cuz he immediately apologized and asked what happened?, but I cannot tell the truth.

"nothing... just forgot that I'm no longer a single man and now I have to give explanations of my actions", I told him an excuse.

"Is she upset about Lena's behavior?", He asked looking serious that sounded like a good excuse and was kinda truth too, so I nodded. "I'll talk to her, don't worry", he promised.

"thanks", I replied

We talked for a while, this time the subject was business and our college times. "is late, you should go back to your wife and apologize", he subjected

"Why should I apologize? I have done nothing wrong!", I defended myself

"Who's talking about who's wrong or right?... You are in love, aren't you?... GO and look for her, don't make my same mistakes", he told me with remorse in his eyes.

Demetrius's marriage failed and he blames himself for it; he has always been a successful businessman and couldn't balance that part of him with his new personal life, too many business meetings, too many business travels, until soon was all he had left... business.

"thank you", I told him

Walking back to the guesthouse I feel heavyhearted, 'damn cold too', well is 3 am, after all, I could bet my fortune that she is sleeping in our bed and that didn't waste a thought on me, on where I was or what I was doing... I better stay on the couch.

Everything is dark and too cold even inside the house, so I decided to look for some sheets to try to make the sofa as comfortable as possible, I quietly accessed the bedroom I didn't want to wake her up, but my desire to see her betrayed me and I turned to see the bed, my heartbeat speed up in a second when I saw the bed where I thought she was is empty.

Where was she? I ran to the bathroom to see if she was there but she was not, I ran my hand through my hair and hit the nearest wall in desperation. Then I heard a bit hit like something dropped to the floor and ran to the door trying to locate where the  sound came from, I heard noises in the kitchen, I turned the lights on, and she was on her knees, picking up the rest of a broken teacup, she looked scared but as soon as she saw me a relief sigh came out of her mouth, that pleases me, "what was that noise?", she asked agitatedly

"nothing... what happened?", I  calmly asked or at least tried it, kneeling in front of her to help her to pick up the broken pieces, I noticed the eye bags, 'she hasn't slept'.
