"I don't understand. Even when you acknowledged I was married, you still fell for me. Why would you fall in love with a married woman?", I gripped his hands.

He looked deep into my eyes, his blue eyes piecing through me like a dagger. His eyes beckoning me to come closer. He sighed, held my hands gently and kissed them.

"Now is not the right time to tell you the reason why I fell in love with a married woman despite knowing at that time I couldn't have her."

I felt disappointed that he did not tell me but I respect his decision. Some stories are better told some other time.

Devon stayed with me for the night and kept coming to check up on me till i was released from the hospital. When the day arrived, Devon picked me up and decided to take me to my parent's house, I agreed because I need to speak with them. During the ride there we said nothing to each other but the silence was comforting. Sometimes I would catch his stealing glances of me, so did I. There was a lot that I wanted to say to him but I didn't know to say it.

After a while we arrived in San Diego. It was still day time, Mom and Dad were still at work as usual. The gates opened and we entered. Devon parked the car in the long driveway. He got out first and came over to my side, opened the door for me and helped me out of the car. He held me by my waist and led me into the house. The way his hand rested on my waist sent electric shocks through my body. My heart skipped a beat.

There was a spare key and we entered the house. It was same as I left it that day. Devon helped me the stairs, he held me even closer to him, I could smell his expensive cologne. He smelt amazing. And his muscles were calling out for me to touch them. I showed him my room, we went inside, he gently layed me on the bed.

"Stay here and don't move, I'll bring all your things.", he firmly demanded. I smiled and nodded. He gave me a longing look then left the room. Oh, Devon...

After he was done bringing in my luggage, he came and set next to me. He turned to look at me.

"Are you hungry?", he asked.

"Yes but I'm not sure what's in the house that's edible.", I chuckled.

"No worries, I'll buy you whatever you want. What do you want to eat?", he asked me.

"I've been craving some really good, cheesy pasta and some boba tea", I pouted my lips.

"Alright, I'll go buy you the best cheesy pasta in town and the best and biggest boba tea in town", he kissed my hands and stood up, to leave.

"Don't forget that I'm allergic to pork", I exclaimed.

"I know, Amorina", he smirked the left the room.

Did he just call me 'Amorina'? It has been a while since he called me that. I was happy to hear him say that. I've missed it a lot, truly. I got up from my bed and began walking around the house, going from room to room. After and hour or so Devon finally came back, he found me sitting in the living room watching tv, he handed me my food, it smelled amazing.
