"Don't raise your voice at me, Shahmeer", I whispered my tone sharper than intended, as I turned my head away, feeling the hot tears streaming down my cheeks.
It cuts me deep when he treats me this way, it feels as if he doesn't trust me or believes that I could ever betray him. The mere thought of being unfaithful is unbearable--I'd rather die than entertain that notion.
"You can think about any one you want, and yet I can't even raise my voice", he shot back, and I felt the bed dip as he settled beside me.
He gently took hold of my jaw, forcing me to meet his gaze. The room seemed to close in around us as I struggled for breathe, my heart racing erratically with anxiety while our noses brushed agaisnt one another.
My body trembled with anticipation as I watched him moisten his lips with his tongue, his intense gaze fixed on mine with an intent that left me breathless. In that moment, admist the chaos of our emotions, all the anger and frustration faded away; all I could think about was how desperately I wanted to pull him into a passionate kiss.
"I hate it, baby---I hate it when you even think about that fucker", he murmured softly, brushing his thumb agaisnt my lower lip. "You shouldn't even give him a second thought; focus on me--focus on us".
His brown eyes held me captive, fixated on mine with an intensity that was both mesmerising and overwhelming: they didn't even blink once, creating an almost suffocating atmosphere thick with unspoken tension.
Kiss, kiss, kiss', my heart urged
No, no, don't let your emotions take over. Remember to stay in control and resist the urge to kiss him. Focus on being upset with him instead of giving into temptation', my mind stated.
"You think I would cheat on you, Shahmeer", I asked my voice quivering with the pain of betrayal and confusion.
"No, baby, never. Why would you say something like that?", he replied earnestly, brushing away the tears that streamed down my cheeks.
"Your behaviour, your words...they're saying otherwise", I responded, a sob escaping my lips and breaking the fragile silence that enveloped us.
"I'm sorry, sweet heart. I would never doubt your faithfulness to me; I truly apologise for making you feel this way", he said softly as he gently cupped my face in his warm hands and placed a tender kiss on my head.
Overwhelmed by emotion, I wrapped my arms around his back, burying my face into his neck as fresh tears cascaded down. My cries filled the once silent room with raw despair.
"Shh...stop crying", he whispered soothingly as his fingers ran delicately through my hair. "I'm so sorry; I really am". He continued to apologise while gently massaging my head in a calming rhythm that slowly began to lull me into a tranquil state of sleepiness with a smile on my face.
Just his sincere apology and loving kiss have the power to instantly brighten my mood and make me forgive him
