The Giant and His Light : Book 2

Part Twenty Seven

I woke up the next morning and I looked beside me and I just deflated. So it had been a dream after all. How was I going to survive this people? People might say that the way I depended on the giant was not healthy. I didn't care. You guys don't understand. If you did, you wouldn't say such especially to a person who suffers from depression. We are clingy as hell and we like getting attention from the ones we love and we aren't good with separation. Ask anybody in your family who suffers from depression and they will tell you. I got off from bed and I dragged myself to the kitchen. I expected to find George making me breakfast but what I found wasn't George. No. It couldn't be. Am I hallucinating? I rubbed my eyes thinking that the image before me would clear and go away but it didn't. It was the giant. His back was to me. I couldn't move at all. My body had gone to shock and still mode. My heart was beating crazily and tears were leaking out of my eyes, of course. He turned and paused when he saw me. Oh my God! It was really him! My giant! I couldn't believe it. I covered my mouth with my shaking hand. He looked the same, except that now his hair on his head had grown, and his face was scruffy. I've never seen a scruffy giant before and I must say he looked ten times more sexy. Bastard! How could he come back looking fine as hell when I looked like this...like the world had crashed around me.
Zano: "My heart." He called me with his voice breaking. And this is where my legs gave out under me and I reached out just in time holding the counter preventing my fall. The giant was next to me in an instant holding me up by the waist. He sat me down on one of the counter chairs and I just looked at him with my tears rolling down my cheeks. Now that he was finally back home and standing in front of me, I didn't know what to do or say to him. I was feeling a lot people. Joy, relief, shock, and anger. A lot of anger. He made me wait for a whole month for him. A whole month people! ... "please say something my heart." He was nervous. It was a rare thing to see the giant nervous. Nothing ever made him nervous... "are you mad at me? I'm so sorry my heart. I got back as soon as I could-." A sob broke out of me and his eyes filled with so much regret and pain... "I'm so sorry-." I hit his chest with my fist and once I started, I couldn't seem to stop. I just hit and hit and hit and so on like that. And he didn't stop me or complain. He just stood there and took it. I was screaming and crying with every hit that I rained on his chest, and then I got tired and sagged against him sobbing and he just held me. I don't know how long I cried but I did for a long time. After I had finished, I wiped my tears, removed myself from his arms and went to the bathroom to have a shower. He of course followed me... "please talk to me my heart. Say something. Anything. Please." He begged desperately trying to hold me and I just moved away from him. I took off my T-shirt and got in the shower. The giant entered the shower shortly after me. I ignored him and went about my business. He pulled me to him and when I struggled in his arms, he held on to me tightly... "please baby...please...I'm sorry... forgive me." I continued to struggle and he continued to hold me tight... "forgive me...please...never again my heart...I promise." I stopped struggling and just stayed still in his arms... "look at me please." I was staring at his chest... "please trust me when I say that I tried my very best to get back to you as fast as I could woman." He tilted my chin up with his fingers... "look at me." He demanded desperately. He pressed his lips on mine but I didn't respond to the kiss. He groaned miserably and brokenly... "I know you're mad woman and you have every right to be but tell me what I can do to make you forgive me. Please." I didn't answer him. He sighed. He took the sponge and started to wash my whole body with it gently. When I had rinsed finished, the giant got to his haunches and kissed my stomach lovingly. I closed my eyes... "you've started showing. And I had missed it all." He said regrettably... "I'm sorry my heart." Tears rolled down my cheeks... "your father's back." He said to my stomach, and then he did the one thing that made my knees so weak I was even afraid I was going to fall. He put his forehead against my stomach like he was praying for our baby... "I love you." He whispered. Oh my God! This is my first time hearing the giant say the words 'I love you'. He has never said them to me. Yes, I know he loves me because he calls me his heart and likes to say 'you have my heart woman', but he has never uttered the 3 letter words to me. But he just did, to our baby. A sob threatened to come out but I held it in. He got up to his feet and pulled me to him. I was looking into his eyes now and they had tears in them. He was killing me... "you've become thin woman. Don't like it." It's because of you. I wanted to say but I just couldn't... "let's finish here quickly so I can feed my woman." He declared. We got out of the shower and he dried me and him, then we went to the bedroom to get dressed.
