Forbidden (18+ Only)

Epilogue: The end of a chapter.

Veronica

The sound of the door getting shut caused my breathing to hitch.

We were currently at his house. Turned out that he didn't live much far from the venue of the party. He opened the coat and it fall on the couch before he strolled towards me. He took no time in pulling me closer and buried his face into my neck, inhaling my scent as if he was trying to get drugged by this alone.

"I missed you," He spoke and looked at me, he gently caressed my cheek and kissed at the corner of my mouth before moving to do the same to the other side," I couldn't stop thinking about you, I tried to erase you from my memories but couldn't."

I was melting in his arms with each word leaving his mouth. I couldn't think straight. Did I miss him? So fucking much that it's even ridiculous to describe. After all, I was the one who pushed him away.

"Veronica, you don't need to worry about anything. I'm not trying to play with you. trust me, love," He looked into my eyes, "I want to make you mine. I have never been in love before and I don't know how to express how I feel but I want to see have you beside me in every moment of my life. I want to see myself with you today, tomorrow, and every other day that I'll have."

"Alex this isn't about what you think now. There will be our low moments, disagreements and so many things two people have to face. It's not easy; With me having the boundaries that I have yet to cross and you looking forward to a perfect future." I let out.

"I don't look for anything perfect. Don't give flimsy excuses for why you don't want to be with me." His voice grew harsh but too much to concern me, "I am ready to accept you just the way you are. I promise you that I'll be there for you and not run away from my responsibilities and be the man you deserve to be with. We'll figure everything out together."

His words were working like the frantic wave that crashes down the shore and washes away all the taints. He had long ago broken the walls I had around me, but today was when I got to realize it.

"Just give us a chance, I know we didn't start with anything special. But I promise to make every one of our moments special for you. I'd love you like there's no tomorrow." He spoke against my lips.

He wasn't lying. The look in his eyes said he wasn't.

That was it I couldn't hold it anymore. I couldn't let myself stay away anymore. I didn't want the fears to push him away. I didn't want the distance anymore.

I pushed my hand into his hair locks and crashed my lips against his one. He kissed me back almost inside, as always I was defeated in the battle of tongue and he ravished my mouth. His hands banded around my waist sliding down to my butt and he picked me up wrapping my legs around his torso before slamming us against the nearest wall.

As we pulled apart for breath he gazed at me, deep desire pooling in his eyes.

"If you are going to act just like before after this, then you better stop me if you don't plan on staying with me for the rest of your life," He breathed out, "Because, Veronica if you go away again, I might go crazy."

With those few words, Alex Vincent had torn me apart, took the hesitancies out of me, and joined my pieces without letting a crack for them to creep through ever again.

There was no denying, I was absolutely, ridiculously in love with him.

"I'm sorry," I croaked out, "I'm so sorry that I pushed you away, I was in such a tangle and you came into my life out of nowhere. I had forbidden myself from falling in love to not get hurt again.  It was hard to accept that someone could love me or care for me where my whole life I had been neglected by everybody. In this mess, I couldn't realize I was pushing the most precious thing that'd ever happened in my life." I inhaled a deep breath to stop prevent myself from crying.
