Consumed By The Ocean💙

15. I Love You Too....Gorgeous

Oh, the love I had for this man. It melted in my eyes and flowed down my cheeks while I looked at the Ocean orbs after almost 9 months.

'You're not real, are you?' I whispered out of disbelief, wondering if he could see how much he had broken me? And wondering if he could see how much power he has to mend me?

'As real as his existence.' he said while glancing down at our son and it broke the dam of my eye more.

I don't remember now if it was my Pregnancy hormones that were still there in my system that got me to say what I said or my stupidity. But my first sentence after what he said was a lie.

'He's not yours.' I choked in the end.

He laughed dryly, an evil and fake laugh.

'We both know this Gemma........after me, you could never touch another.' I closed my eyes on that, because it was the truth. And we often tend to close our eyes on truth.

'Hold him properly.' he said while getting up. He picked me up bridal style with our son on top of me and made his way to the resort.

As soon as my baby felt the warmth of his Father's bare chest, he began crying again.

I could not make out anything out of the situation. I did not know what was happening. I gave birth to a whole child. The lover who I always thought never loved me, showed up. And now the mighty Master of Oceans was cleaning me up after my rough delivery.

Within no time, me and baby were all cleaned and covered. While I fed my baby in my arms, his Father sat across me, near my legs looking at both of us with what seemed to me as....wonder.

'What are you thinking?' I asked him in a low tone, my eyes still swollen and my nose still red from all the crying.

'I can't believe whatever we had between us, bloomed into this.' he said with honestly, referring to my beautiful baby.

Hurt must've flashed on my face because I was hurt by his statement.

'What do you mean by whatever we had?' I asked him.

He kept his composure and it pissed me off.

'Theseus! For the sake of Mother Goddess just tell me one thing okay?........Did you ever, once think of me? No right?.......BUT I THINK OF YOU EVERY FUCKING DAY!....Not just because I had your child growing inside me! Not just because the Ocean reminded me of you! I thought of you every FUCKING DAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!! WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU IS NOT 'WHATEVER'! I LOVE YOU!'

By the time I finished, I could see Theseus's own rage building inside of him.

'Then why did you leave me?' he asked, gritting his teeth.

'You never asked me not to! Infact you left as if what we had that night was a mistake, MY KING!' I mocked him with truth.

'IT WAS NEVER A MISTAKE FOR ME! I LEFT TO GET MY HEAD CLEAR! TO LET THE REALITY SEEP IN THAT YOU, MY LOVE.....YOU WERE FINALLY MINE!!'

His voice was way louder than mine and the baby began crying. Theseus immediately softened and took him from my arms. he got up and began hushing him but my thoughts were too occupied to see how cutely he calmed the baby.

He loved me.

He freaking loved me.

Within no time the baby was calm and slept in his arms. he walked up to the other end of the bed made the baby sleep beside me. He then came back to me and sat down close to me. Looking at me intently, almost in a threatening way.

'I have never loved a woman. I don't know what love is. I don't know how to love somebody.' he whispered, his expressions as hard as a rock.

And then his expressions turned to vulnerable 'What I do know is that every time you laid beside me in my bed, I fought an urge to hold you to myself. That every time you talked about your death, it made something build up in my chest. That the near thought of my father hurting you made my blood boil.'
