AFTER MY HONEYMOON

chapter 17

The cab had dropped Lillian In front of the house as she had come to get the rest of her clothes and accessories. It took all week to prepare herself to come get her things but she had finally summoned up the courage and so of course she paid the cab driver and got out of the cab thanking him for the ride.

She entered the premises of the house and suddenly felt very anxious but she was immediately interrupted by her thoughts when Mr. Bushwell  greeted her and seeing him there brought back the anxiety because that meant that Richard was at home. He had also commented on the fact that she didn't look too well....but she just told him that she had a flu and That she had taken drugs and that she was feeling much better as well

After their  pleasantries, she walked up to the door and raised her hand to ring the door bell and although she hesitated a bit to ring the door bell, she thought to herself.... let's get this over with....

After breathing in and out she finally rung the bell.  After waiting for a while, the door finally opened and bracing herself, she looked up and saw the only man who was responsible for her heartache at the moment and even though she didn't want to admit it, she was happy to see him. Richard was clearly surprised to see her he also noticed once again that she was wearing a turtle neck dress.... but he too didn't say anything yet.

They both stood starring at each other and after a while, he said " what are you doing here?".

"I...I came to collect the rest of my things". After a few more seconds of starring at her he stepped aside and she walked past him, and entered into the house.

She stepped into the room and went Into her closet, and started taking out the rest of her clothes and underwear as well... while packing her clothes, she saw the dress that Aaron had given to her as a gift picking it up and looking at it with so much hatred, she thought... this was the reason why Richard was able to lay claim that she indeed cheated on him and that too with his own brother.

By the time she was done packing she wanted to cry all over again..... she remembered when she first set foot into this house she had imagined how that would live together, and have children too...but it seemed all her dreams were shattered now.

She came down the stairs slowly with her suitcase and finally headed for the door but it felt like her feet were too heavy to take each step that she took...this isn't what she wanted...this wasn't the life she had envisioned for herself and just before she reached the door she heard Richard call her name.

Turning around she was a little shocked that to see that he was standing so close to her because she certainly didn't hear him approach her. Looking into his eye she was stunned at what she saw and she became hypnotized he has always had the most stunning, and very expressive dark grey eyes she had ever seen, and she could easily look at them all day but what hypnotized her wasn't his eyes but the evident emotion in them and it stunned her because, all she had ever seen in those same eyes these past few weeks were anger and pain.

She looked into his eyes with the same emotions coursing through her
Love...desperation and longing.
She desperately wanted him to stop her..... to tell her that he loved her..... to tell her that they could go back to the way they used to be before everything came crashing down...to go back to the way they were before everything was ruined...he slowly raised his hand to stroke her face and she opened her mouth to speak and said "Richard...I..."

He didn't let her finish speaking and his lips came crashing down on hers but this time it wasn't the brutal kisses he had given her before... this time it was slow, sweet and everything she had ever dreamed of in kissing Richard. She slowly let go of her bag which she was holding unto and slowly raised her hand to clutch his shirt and with his hand on her face, he slowly moved to angle her head and deepen the kiss she moaned softly when he slid his tongue past her lips and into her mouth, while pulling her more closer to himself.

They both poured so much emotion into the kiss that they were both lost in the moment. She felt herself slowly moving backwards but she was too caught up in the kiss to realize anything much until she felt her back softly hit the wall.

They were at it for a few more minutes when he abruptly stopped and opening her eyes to look into his eyes once again the look of hatred and anger was back it almost felt like what she saw earlier was only an imagination and he said to her

"Wow... Lillian is this how you kiss your lover too". She looked at him in shock like he had slapped her while he used the back of his hand to clean his mouth and also raised his hand which made her flinch but he whispered to her while he slowly rubbed his thumb on her lips in an attempt to clean the kiss they just shared. "I hope you have a nice life with him.....I HATE YOU BOTH".

"Richard...you.." He didn't let her finish speaking when he said " Save it Lillian just leave and lock the door on your way out".

He walked out leaving her there.... she certainly thought wrong. He kissed her to insult her and not out of love or even care. Finally after putting herself together she slowly reached for her bag and left the house and this time she didn't look back even if she wanted to.

She got home That night and although she was in no mood to eat, she ate for her mother's sake and also because she had some pills to take as well. After all that she finally laid down to sleep and even though she was tired, she couldn't sleep and even though she had promised herself that she wouldn't cry, she cried her self to sleep that night.
