Moonlight 💫

~Chapter 18~

Feraye's mind raced with memories of their time together, each moment intensifying her sense of loss. She questioned every decision, every word, wondering if there was something she could have done differently to keep him from walking away. The weight of her regret was overwhelming, and she felt a deep, aching emptiness settle in her chest.

She couldn't lose Ates , she didn't want to ,wiping away her tears so she threw her sweater on and left the room heading straight to Ates's room ,when she opened the door she found him shirtless she took her time admiring how muscular and incredibly handsome he is . Her heart pounded in her chest, a mix of hope and fear swirling within her. As she stepped closer, she felt a knot of anxiety tighten in her stomach, unsure of how he would react to her unexpected arrival. Despite the uncertainty, she knew she had to speak her truth and try to mend what was broken.

Ates looked up, surprise evident in his eyes, but he didn't say a word. His gaze softened as he took in her tear-streaked face, and he slowly walked towards her, closing the distance between them. "Why are you here?" he finally asked, his voice a mix of confusion and concern. The tension in the room was palpable, an almost tangible force that seemed to thicken the air between them. She could feel the weight of unspoken words hanging heavy, each heartbeat echoing with the gravity of their unresolved emotions.

As they stood face to face, the silence was deafening, amplifying the stakes of this fragile moment. As he approached, she felt a whirlwind of emotions crashing over her. Her heart raced with a mixture of fear and anticipation, her breath catching in her throat as she searched his eyes for any sign of forgiveness. The vulnerability of the moment left her feeling exposed, her raw emotions laid bare in front of him. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she finally found the courage to speak.

"Ates, I know I've made mistakes, but I can't bear the thought of losing you without trying to make things right," she said, her voice trembling with sincerity. "Please, can we talk and figure this out?"

''I don't want you to leave Ates '' she said, forcing herself to look at him

Her eyes fell on his lips once again. She wanted to taste them again. Ates's mind was a storm of conflicting emotions as he looked into her tear-filled eyes. He felt a pull towards her, a longing to forgive and rekindle what they once had, but a part of him remained guarded, wary of being hurt again. The battle between his heart and his mind was tearing him apart, making it difficult to decide whether to embrace her or push her away.

Her mind was a battlefield of conflicting emotions, torn between the fear of rejection and the desperate hope for reconciliation. Part of her screamed to turn back, to shield herself from the potential pain, while another part urged her to fight for what they once had. As she stood there, vulnerable and exposed, she struggled to silence the doubts that threatened to drown out her courage. Ates clenched and unclenched his fists, his knuckles turning white with the tension. His chest rose and fell with deep, uneven breaths as he tried to steady himself. A muscle in his jaw twitched, a visible sign of the internal struggle he was facing. 

The room around them was dimly lit, casting long shadows that danced across the walls. A soft, golden glow from a solitary lamp on the corner table provided the only source of warmth in the otherwise cold space. Outside, the muffled sounds of the bustling city filtered through the closed window, creating a stark contrast to the charged silence between them.

''Ates...''she softly whispered kissing his cheekbones making it  hard for him to focus.

Ates' mind was a whirlwind of emotions, torn between the desire to pull her close and the fear of getting hurt again. Her touch sent a shiver down his spine, but the memories of past pain held him back. As he battled with his inner turmoil, he knew he had to make a choice: either open his heart once more or walk away to protect it.
