The light in my darkness ✅

🌕CHAPTER 39🌑

Caroline's point of view

My mouth hang open a bit at his question. Everything as been going so fast. I could not even wrap my head around the fact that he has my underwear in his pockets. This man will be death of me.

"As in a date- date?"

"A date as in a date. I understand if you are not ready, it's okay. Don't feel as if you owe me anything."

He can't be for real. I'm starting to believe that am either dreaming or am stuck in a delusional. He is pure shade of blue.

Yes, the sex was great, yes, I've never felt so at peace before, yes, I've never had real sex to know the meaning behind it but is this what everyone experience? What is this ? Ever since I've met him all he has been doing is saving me, over and over again.

Do I even deserve all this?

I sigh in depression and closed my eyes.

"Hey, don't do that," I felt his hand under my cheek and I felt his wet lips on my forehead.

"I'm here for you, I got you, I just need you to let me proof it to you . Let me be there for you. Let me in Caroline, that's all am asking."

I can never one hundred percent describe the feelings Talat gave me. Each and every time this man touches me, or enter my personal space; all my brain cells seems to slow down or blow up. I have no idea how someone can feel so much for another.

Yes, am questioning the universe, is this my time to let go? Is it my time to just let someone care for me for a change?

"I'm trying so hard to show you that good people do exists, they are rare to find but they do exists."

"What if you hurt me?"

I closed my eyes briefly at his touch, he rest his chin above my head and hugged me go him.

"I promise it wouldn't be intentional."

"I just don't have it in me to get hurt anymore. I'm in so much darkness, I can't hurt you by bringing you in with me, am selfish but not that selfish."

"I'll be the light in your darkness."

I pulled back from his chest and standing in my spot; we looked at each other. His is so perfect, both bad and good. He knows just the right words to say. So, we stood drinking the sight of each other.

"What's in it for you?"

"A innocent she-devil, someone that I met for a reason, you are no Diana, no Akim, you are just you, normal red head Caroline."

I frowned at that and come to think of it, I should just accept that date, maybe then we would see in each others closet.

"I'm not a born red head."

His nose did a weird jump as he leans closer to my hair, he will see pure red.

"What?-how?"

I pulled away slightly and take a deep breath.

"Just a present from Pauline, a few years back."

"Present?"

"Let's just say, yes, the answer is yes, I'll come with you on a date. Maybe you will see how damage I am and you wouldn't want anything to do with me."

Defense is back to my motion, I thought having sex with him will make me loose the edge and the attitude but no, sex won't do.

"Well, you'll definitely be a hard nut to crack, look at you, back to your stuck up self, you need to chill a bit Caroline, are you even looking at yourself? Each time you take a step forward, it's like you took ten hundreds step Back," He wipes his hand over his face and huff.
