DIVINE

chapter 21

Maria's pov:

I eventually got much better while the days passed and surprisingly the wounds healed fast. However, now I had some scars around my body that I was a bit ashamed of. I mean, I liked how I looked, but as any other human being, I had insecurities.

Sometimes it was hard to look at myself in the mirror. Every time I checked I always found something I didn't like.

-What are you doing, love? Did you get dressed?
I heard his voice  lingering now in the room. This reminded me of the fact that we were supposed to go to my apartment and grab my stuff and all I had there, now I will stay with him.

While looking away from the mirror and my scars, I nodded and said yes pretending that I am okay.

But I think he knows me better than I know myself.

He came near me and hugged me from behind.

-You know, you are the most beautiful human being that ever walked on this earth and that ever will. You are so beautiful, Maria.
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes.

He always knew how to make me feel better. He made me love myself.
I might be cold at work, but when I was with him, I was a different person, I was a better and more caring version of myself. Is this what loving someone does to you? I don't complain.

He turned me around and lifted my chin with one of his fingers, making me look in his lustful eyes.
-Look at me, he said, you are fucking perfect.
And then he started kissing me like there was no tomorrow.
Our lips collided and in that moment I felt how the emotions traveled in my body from head to toe.
The truth is, I had no words. Not only because he was kissing me, but there was no expression to give in that moment. I preferred to live it.

-Thank you.
I breathed.

He didn't say anything, but he kissed my cheek instead.

-Let's go grab your stuff, love.

And then I grabbed my stuff and headed towards my old house. It's been weeks since I lastly been there and the thought of it made me anxious to the point where I felt like throwing up.
Even if Wooyoung didn't ask me to move in with him, I would probably move somewhere else because the memories will forever linger in that place.

I was at the front door now. But my feet froze there. I couldn't take a step, I couldn't move. I knew it was going to be like that, but actually standing where I was about to die and leave everything behind, leave him behind, was in front of me.

He saw my frozen state and came in front of me.
-You know, you don't have to do this, Maria. I can go in there alone to grab everything you ask me to or I could just put my men to go in there and grab the stuff while you and I go out and do anything you ask.

He treats me so kindly and loving.

-I am okay Wooyo, I promise... I just.. It's weird you know...
-I understand, but know that you don't have to do anything you don't want to do and even if you do, I am right here besides you.

I smiled at him.
-I know.

And there I was, in the apartment I almost died, packing everything I felt I needed which was almost everything.

After that, he grabbed my hand and led me to the door.
-Are you ready?
-Yeah...
-One day, we will have our house, our home and we will make so many memories there.
-I feel like you read my mind again, mister Jung.
-I am glad, but I am scared of what can go trough that little head of yours.
-Wooyoung!
I said punching lightly his arm.

-Ouch!
I was the one saying that.
-Your arm is hard, stop working out. Wait actually don't.
He just started laughing after that.

-I love to stay in shape but I want to be alright for you but also... is for doing this.
I was confused but I didn't get any time to think because he lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder.
Let's say that was shocking but what he did next left me mouth wide open.
He smacked my ass and started laughing maniacally.

-Jung!
-What? Do you want me to do it again?
He kept walking.
I tried to change the subject.
-Besides the fact that people will see, what are we gonna do with my stuff if you leave with me over your shoulder?
-Don't try to change the subject,baby, you know I will put my men to get your stuff now.

At this point I was a mess. I tried to hide it even tho I think it was useless and that he knew already what I was thinking.

When we approached the car, he let me down carefully and smiled at me.

-So, what do you think about going shopping? New clothes and everything you want for a new chapter in your life. I want to spoil you. I want to do it every day.

- Are you even real?
I ask.

-Yeah, real and thankful for you. Now get that pretty ass of yours in the car and let me spoil you.
-Jung!

He opened my door and invited me to enter his car. He then got in the car too and started driving.

I smiled at him lovingly, it's going to be a fun day and I am so thankful. He tried to get my mind off of the fact that I was traumatized by that place, I don't deserve him.

I am so in love.
