ROBERT

I stood watching, listening as Renee yelled and lashed out at me despite my begging her to calm down.

"You still haven't told me all you know about me. You stalked me, right? You have the resources, so you did some background checks on me. So what do you know? Tell me, tell me! I'm sure you know all about my pathetic life and...."

"Renee, will you calm down. I don't know what you're talking about, but I can assure you that I barely know anything about you. I only..."

"Liar! I knew you'd say that. You kept your age from me on purpose, for chrissakes. You were scared I wouldn't sleep with you if you told me you were twice my age, right? That's why you upped your charm and made sure you had your way with me before telling me a thing. Then, while we were fucking like rabbits, I tried to ask you questions, but you diverted my questions over and over at every turn. Now you want me to believe you?"

"Renee!" I barked out, but she was still hysterical, her whole body shaking.

"I don't trust you anymore. I can't even trust you or believe what comes out of your mouth, Robert. I just can't."

Her words struck me like a blow, and a hiss escaping my lips, I recalled a similar scenario but with... No! I wouldn't talk or think about that devil of a woman now.

I shook my head, fists clenched, and my countenance changed as I blurted out the magical words, hoping she'd listen, "I'm sorry, Renee. I sincerely apologize. I..."

"Oh, just cut it! Do you think saying sorry will solve anything? It won't. When did you see me first? That night? Is it the truth? You haven't answered my questions! I did ask you to reveal what you know about me, but...."

"The night I saw you at the beach was the first day I laid my eyes on you, Renee." I deadpanned, my voice calm as I interrupted her, my eyes not leaving her face, as I stared intensely at her.

"That's not the truth, Robert. I don't know... I don't believe you anymore." She huffed, taking a step back from me and even though it was a subtle move, it felt like she was pulling away, and it hurt.

My eyes softened as they looked into hers and then I said hoarsely, "I won't blame you for not believing me, Renee. But it's true. I saw you for the first time that night. I'd been in a meeting with some of my clients when I caught sight of your...." I paused, the words on my lips dying immediately while she raised her brows, obviously wanting me to continue.

"Caught sight of what? You were saying something?" She urged on, and I let out a sigh.

"Beautiful hair and gorgeous brown eyes." I replied softly, looking away from her and staring at the sea.

The wind billowed softly, carrying with it a heavy melancholy breeze that mirrored my feelings simultaneously.

The sun was still shining brightly though, and it made the tense atmosphere brewing between us seem warmer than it was.

"Those strawberry blonde curls...." I continued, "The dazzling milky skin that glowed and then the curves underneath your jeans. You've haunted my memories ever since that night I saw you, Renee. I knew I had to make you mine no matter what it took. No matter how I did it, I just had to have you and...."

Her eyes were watching me closely now, and I could see the hint of a smile playing on her lips, but she wiped it off just as fast as it came.

"And that's why you stalked me? That's why you did some background checks on me. I mean, what did you expect to find? Some hideous secret that'd make you push me away when we were done with each other, right?" She half yelled, her eyes fluttering wildly.
