So Far But Still So Close ( short story)

Part 2-ending

"Okay." After few seconds he shifted me towards himself and we sat face to face. My breathing stops as I took a look at his red rose petal lips. I remember last time and Every time we kissed, it felt so good to be against his soft pouted lips. Oh No!! I am a total goner by now.

I shook my head and looked into his eyes which are bright and twinkling with amusement.
"Explain" After few more minutes of staring at each others eyes he grinned at me as I was frowning to what the heck he wanted to explain.

"So as I was saying I wanted to explain myself for breaking your heart" as if his heart is perfectly fine in good condition. What if? "And you also know that I was dating Melinda"

"Was?" I am now confused. Is he not dating her anymore?

"Yeah. I broke up from her today."

"So that's why you came back to me coz she can't satisfy you anymore-" My anger fumed throughout my each vein and artery in my body and my blood boils in five hundred degree Celsius. I am literary red from hearing this. He is totally changed.

"No no no!! Don't lead your way when you don't know the path. I wanted to explain and please don't interrupt me when I am talking after that do whatever you wanted to do with me. Yell at me, beat me, or even kill me, do whatever but firstly let me briefly describe the situation." He spoke as softly as he can. I know he wanted to stay calm as he take inhale and exhale slowly.

"Okay, so I am allowed to do whatever I wanna do after your explanation?" I don't wanna kill him, that's for sure but I really wanna do other things.

"Yeah okay. So where I was? Oh! Yeah, so I dated that girl to answer some of my question."

"What were the questions that you wanted to be answered?" I asked.

"Stop interrupting me Arielle. Let me continue please." He is literally begging me to keep quiet but I can't concentrate on anything when I am intently focused on the way he is rolling my name out. It fells so....sexy. As I continued to stare into his whirling colorful eyes he gently placed his either hand on my waist and other on my cheek to caress it. He always does the same when he was going to say he lov-! No no! He can't say that. He moved on from me as fast as a bullet train. I know that he had dated many girls and flirt with them mercilessly as if nothing happened between two of us. I can't think negative nor positive right now. So I will let him finish him explaining whatsoever then he would go his way and I will follow mine. This is it.

"Arielle! I did this only for you. That girl is the bitchiest girl I have ever met." And now he is trying to make me laugh and I gave in. I laughed heartily oat his Bitchiest comment.
I don't remember when the last time I laughed like this was. He looked down at me and gave his charming lopsided smile.

"So you dated bitchiest girl for me?"

"Yeah. So do you remember when and where we first had... umm... where we....first make love?" he hesitated and looked away. His cheeks tingled pink. I blushed remembering that beautiful night, our first time together was super awesome and blastic and it was at Josh's house. He made it very special for me by lightening candles in his whole house, spreading rose petals everywhere, red wine on his table, dim lights with soft music in background and he also gifted me a red rose dress that night telling me that I look very beautiful in that color.

"Yea! It was at yours." I told him truthfully that I remember that night very clearly.

"You remember!" He exclaimed enthusiastically and traces of any doubt replaced with relief.

"Well! How can I even forget that? It was the best day of my life." I shifted more towards him. It feels like it was just yesterday we made love, it was like yesterday we snuggle watching movie, it was like yesterday we made out on his bed, it feels like it was yesterday that we murmur I love you-s in each others ear.
