"Please tell me what should I do to have your trust back on me?"
She was begging him despite being so strong and bold.
His eyes shot an annoyed glance as he reacted, "Do yourself a favor and get out o...
The silence was thickening around us while tension kept rising with every passing second, it was almost as if any of us would speak right now; something bad would happen or in straight words, I would say something insensitive again that would ruin every effort I have made so far cause I can't afford to upset my daughter no matter how much I hate her mother, it shouldn't be a hurdle in between her happiness.

My eyes shifted to Simran who was directly probing me intently with those chocolate brown eyes of hers, the way she was gazing at me was undeniably pure admiration yet I just negated it and sighed while pressing my head onto the pillow, not even daring to peek at her. No matter how hard I try to act normal, the inner me just can't bear her existence beside me as everything about her presence is reminiscent of her lies and disloyalty. I can't help but ponder why she would even want to be with me again after everything, didn't she say she was just playing with me five years back, I still remember her words clearly as they are still haunting me.
I am an insomniac, I don't sleep mostly and the reason is now lying beside me. For the last five years, I have had countless sleepless nights, and not even once I have slept deeply and just worked tirelessly as that was the only escape from dismissing her out of my head and heart but now I have to live with her, see her every day and just smile to please my daughter since I can't bear to upset her because of my bitterness towards her mother.
I am not like my father who abandoned his wife just because he was fed up with her and separated her kids so she would suffer all of her life.
I am not that monster who would separate a mother from her daughter.
"You don't sleep much, do you?"
I blinked, and my eyes immediately locked with her worried ones.
"You need to sleep so just relax in my arms and stop using your empty head for some time".
I flinched when her hand cupped my cheek but quickly calmed feeling her warmth enveloping me, it was almost soul-warming when her skin touched mine almost making me feel lively again as if I was craving for her touch just like before, it was torturing me to yearn for more and more so I just absentmindedly leaned in more and sighed when her both hands cupped my face hesitantly, there was an unknown stillness as this was surprisingly soothing as all I want was her warmth.
"I need to tell you something Zander which is why I am here right now".
I groaned and attempted to move but stubbornly she was still holding onto me.
"You won't be fleeing now as you were the one who invited me into your bed, remember?".
That sounded tempting but she took it the wrong way as all I wanted was to adjust myself to being around her, the more she was close the more it would be easier for me to adapt to her presence.
