Love is not enough

The wind between my heart's folds

Adele's Pov:

He just slapped me...

I'm in bed crying with Rich sleeping next to me.
The idea that Simon could never have slapped me for anything in the world makes me cry even more.

I got up from the bed and quickly got dressed.
I hastily took my car keys, my wallet, my phone and put them in my purse.
Right now I just feel scared and my face still hurts after that slap. I can't stay in my own house with Rich because I'm afraid he might hurt me and the only thing I can be happy about is that Simon took Angelo away, at least he wouldn't hear me cry in pain.

I made my way to the car and began to drive, my eyes were completely watery and the only place where I could feel safe right now is at Simon's house.

As I parked the car in his yard, obviously the lights were down since it is the middle of the night, I got out.

It's cold outside and the wind is blowing up my hair, the sky is dark and there are the beautiful stars in it.

I gently knocked on the door hoping Simon would open it.
Luckily he did.

"Adele, it's the middle of the night what are you doing here?" He said in a sleepy and raspy voice that I've always loved.

"Can I stay here for the night?" I am standing in front of the door holding my purse with both of my hands, sniffing and sobbing.

"Why are you crying, what happened?" He embrace me and I buried my face in his chest.

"Come inside it's cold here" I said when I didn't reply.

"Do you want some tea?" He asked me as we entered.

"Yes, please" I responded when I calmed myself down.

"there are still our photos here" I smiled looking around, nothing changed.

He didn't change.

"I love them, I've kept them where they've always been, I don't see why I should have taken them off" he sadly smiled.

"If you want I still have some of your clothes you can sleep in" he said.

"Really? Where are them?" I asked surprised.

"Yes, they are in your old closet" I couldn't believe him.

I love him.

I found a pair of leggings and a t-shirt so I wore them.

I went into Angelo's room and, carefully not to wake him up, I entered.

"Goodnight baby" I kissed his head.

"Mummy why are you here?" He woke up anyway.

"I missed you"

"Are you ok mumma?"

"Now I'm ok peanut, goodnight" I kissed his lips.

"Goodnight mummy, I love you" He smiled then immediately fell asleep.

"I love you more little angel" I closed the door and went downstairs to Simon.

"I missed all of this" he said.

"Me as well" I came closer to him and hugged him and his warm arms automatically went on my waist.

"Can you tell me what happend Laurie?"

"Me and Rich had a fight" I looked down at the floor.

"And? Why are you crying?" He cupped my face and kissed my forehead.
