Darker than Love- Book 2

Chapter-52

Chapter-52

Vanessa's POV:

But I heard him, "Sugar..... You are giving me pain, and crying yourself....."

I saw his eyes, like he is feeling something. But I can't tell what it is... today, he feels different, like he is too tried to reason something, pay with his words.

He is blurring his mind right now... without thinking..... He is not questing.... but asking....

I stayed silent, soon enough I was wrapping his wound on his hand. I hope it doesn't get infected, I tried my best.

I met his eyes again, I knew he never looked away. But he seemed so cold and distant today.

I took his wounded hand and pressed my lips on the place where he hurt himself. I felt his hand move a little in surprise.

I placed a small kiss on his hand, I looked at him while his eyes ask a question, what is in my mind?

I placed his same hand on my cheeks, I whispered, "You said we both are same.... unfortunate orphans...."

"But at least.... we have each other..." I completed my words.

I saw tears dropping from his eyes, I said truly, "If I have you to protect me..... then you have me to protect you.... to hear you.... to feel your heart, to understand your pain, to love you...."

He pulled his chair closer to me, he whispered getting up, "I am not made for love.... No one can love me.... I am not fit for it, Sugar.... I am son a women who never wanted me, I had a father whom I never truly knew...... No one can love me...."

He said this like he begged, begged that these words were not true. But he knew he was stating facts about himself... still he is wrong.

I tightened my hands on his as I said, "Wrong.... I love you..... You cannot hurt my feelings by degrading yourself... Your self doesn't change by who your parents are.... they are your past you don't need, and I am your present who only has you....."

He was closer to me by now, like he was almost pressing me on the table, he asked stern, "You would have never chosen me... if that night I didn't dragged you here...."

Why he hates himself so much?

He is refusing to believe he is enough.

I whispered, "I don't want that night to change.... However things might happen, but I got you in the end.... that's my truth....."

His cheeks were soaked in tears, someone's crying never bothered me this much. His words are dark mirrors into a child's heart who lost everything today years ago.

I cupped his cheeks with my hands, I promised, "For me.... It only you, Seth... You should remember, I will be always waiting to see you and feel you....."

His hand touched mine, his lips touched my palm as he moved his face a little, He asked, "Vanessa.... Will you ever leave me?"

I smiled at him, I whispered as my tears gave up, "Never.... I don't have life without you now...."

I feel getting pulled into a sudden hug, his strong arms were squeezing me in his embrace. Like he feared losing me.

I heard him, "Neither can I..... There is no Seth without Vanessa..."

I closed my eyes rubbing my hand on his back, I was silently crying in happiness on his words.

He is right... there is neither of us without each other.....
