He pulls me behind him towards the exit as we round a calmer corner. Nobody is here it seems, but I find myself getting relaxed because he's here with me not that I'm alone with him.
I look up at him waiting for him to talk. He looks at me then smiles, "God, I was so proud of you tonight, dove." I beam and stretch on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek, "All because of you, I have the best teacher!"
He shakes his head, "the credit is all yours, you did everything and you had the passion to become this great." He says and he is very sincere I feel it in my gut.
I smile, "you said you wanted to tell me something?" He takes a step towards me and looks me deeply in the eye; I don't know if he's searching for something or he's trying to tell me something, but he opens his mouth to speak.
"Aurora, do you remember when you saw the file in my drawers?" I nod and he goes on, "these were pics and documents I had about you, but not to stalk; it was because I was so obsessed and into the idea of you." He stops then continues, "but when you laid foot in London and I knew that you were far away from me, I felt a very strange feeling that I stopped feeling long time ago."
"What is it?" I ask softly, "the sense of protection, I felt I had to protect you, Aurora. Even when all I knew about you is a couple of information and some pics."
My heart clench at what he's saying, "go on."
"And when you entered my office, even with your hunted eyes and mysterious aura; it snapped. Everything inside me that day became yours."
He reached out to take my hand placing my palm on his left side, just above his heart. I can feel it beating rapidly.
"Even the only thing I swore not to give any person on this Earth. The thing that nobody had or will have before, Aurora. I gave it to you and I don't want it back."
I feel my hands shake and a tear slide from my eyes, he wipes it away with my hand still placed on is heart, he too starts shedding a tear after the other.
His body trembles then he takes a shaky breath and says the only thing I was hoping and hating to hear from him.
"I love you, Aurora. I am in love with every bit of your soul."
Me too, Omer.
Me too.
