Race to your heart 4

Present day

'I have a wife?' We were still sitting inside the cafe.

"Toast and Lily knew about us?" I asked as she smiled bitterly. Wow, I sure hate that smile. I feel like my heart's getting ripped apart.

"They were the ones that pushed us together." I asked her about our past together and now I couldn't help but to feel empty. All those memories... If she's really my wife then I want all of them back. "Listen, if this is weird for you, then I'll just try to wait in silence. I AM NOT GETTING A DIVORCE, OKAY?" I flinch the moment her sweet tone turned aggressive at the last sentence. "Can I ask one thing before I leave?"

"Sure." I told her.

"Your heart, does it beat for me?" Is she talking about the quickened pace of my heart?

"I mean... It beats normal?" Honestly, I couldn't tell. She's here every single day, and after work she's all I could think about. My obsessive thoughts and curiosity are now justified, right? I still can't believe she's actually my wife.

"Oh..." Son of a—wrong answer! Great, now you made her sad. "It's getting late. I think I should go so you can close the cafe." She immediately stood up and started walking away.

"Wait!" I don't understand why but my body and mind acted on its own. I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. I mean yes I don't want her to leave but not at this extent!

I pulled her too hard and our bodies clash. I managed to balance us both, but was awestruck at how close we both were to each other. It didn't help that her eyes were mesmerizing. My eyes suddenly travelled down to her precious lips. "I..." She just smiled and closed her eyes. This made me nervous.

'I want to kiss her.' Maybe if I do, then this longing and loneliness will vanish. She closed her eyes the moment my face starting closing the gap between us.

'No, I can't be selfish.' The mere thought of it felt like I'm just using her. I stopped midway and apologized.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." Her eyes flashed open as she looked at the large gap between us. I did that to restrain myself from cornering her into a wall and kissing her senseless. All because I miss having her in my arms—wait, I miss having her in my arms?

"No, it's my fault." She smiled bitterly before she turned her heel to leave the premises.

I slapped myself after she left. I ruined everything!
