Soul Ties

Chapter 30 [Goodbye Roman.]

Matthew 5:38-39

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

"Don't roman.. dont do it." She utters to me as i rush up to her from the living room. she's been gone for so long. She never told me where, she just disappeared...

While she was gone I couldn't do anything, I couldn't focus on work I couldn't eat knowing that she was mad at me. The worse has happened, i am starting to feel for her.

"Ziana, just give me a second to explain what happened, just let me tell you why i did it." Why did i do it? Why did i let my lips touch hers? Why did i give in? That's not who i am. This is not who i am for go-

"Look, we dont need to speak about it roman because nothing happened. Just like you said it was a mistake. For both of us. It shouldn't have happened so let's just move on."

Dam-nit. She's closed up again, she let her walls down for me for once, she showed a different side to her for once! And now she's back to treating me like im a stranger on the streets.

Her shoulder brushes past my arm as she rushes past me to get to the stairs, I quickly chase after her ignoring the scent of coconut that her hair carried with her,

"I didn't mean that when i said it." I shout out to her, how long have i even known her? How many encounters have we even had? And now i think i might actually like her more than having to tolerate her presence,

Her steps slowed down for a moment and i thank God for how long i made this staircase.

"I didnt mean what i said ziana... i just- damnit i just dont know what to do with feelings like these! I haven't ever felt this way and it's new because I've only known you for so long.." My mouth begins to spill its long awaited words.

All day at work I've been thinking about what to say to try and get her back to me, so much so that i chose doing a few rounds of city patrolling than doing investigations on Whites case thats right in the palm of my hands.

"I kissed you for a reason ziana.. i feel something and i know you feel it to-"

"Stop." She whips her body around to face me, she looks down at me from the top step of the staircase. Her body smells like vanilla, it matches her cream white knitted net cardigan that has sleeves that open wide at her hands and a army green t shirt underneath.

Her navy green bottoms just barely fit her growing figure and make it harder for me not to repeat the actions that made her mad at me in the first place.

"Just stop it. Stop speaking because i dont want to hear any of it, Roman. I can't trust a single word you say." Her tone is piercing, like she's actually done with me.

"You were right to remind me that this isn't about love or feelings. I got distracted for a minute I'll admit but It's good now. So you dont have to worry about me messing up and burdening you with my emotions anymore." She puffed out a heavy breath and stomped the rest of the way upstairs,

Shes more now... she's Found her way into an area of my heart that i thought i locked up, She's becoming a part of my damn routine.
