Chap. 19 : Idiots

Chapter 19

Idiots

It was one of those morning where you wake up with a feeling of pure bliss. One of those mornings where the bed is warm, the light is soft, the sheets are smooth, the pillows are fluffed. You feel like time has stopped, like you've entered a new dimension where everything that was wrong is finally gone.

Dan's body was pressed against my back, his long lanky arms wrapped around my body. I could feel his soft breathing down my neck. I absentmindedly played with his thumb as my mind, for the first time in what seemed like forever, finally cleared.

After god knows how long, Daniel stirred behind me. His slender fingers sleepily traced the skin of my bare arm, his nose slowly grazing my neck.

"Hey." He breathed out, his voice raspy from sleeping.

"Hey." I smiled at him as I turned in his arms to face him.

I placed my hand on his cheek, my thumb tracing the outlines of his bones.

He closed his eyes as he leaned into my hand, he kissed the palm before looking back at me again. His magnificent blue eyes were cloudy with nostalgia.

"When are you leaving?" He whispered.

I intertwined my legs with him. "Not yet, not ever maybe." I answered, bitting my lip as he frowned.

"What do you mean?" He leaned away to get a better look at me.

I looked at my left hand, which previously cupped his cheek. I looked at my ring finger and the golden band with a diamond on it.

"Thinking is all I've been doing lately." I began as he continued to look at me. "I realized a lot of things you know. Firstly that I'm an idiot, secondly that I am the most idiotic person on this earth and thirdly that I am profoundly stupid." I let out a breathy laugh as I looked up from my fingers and into his eyes. "I also realized that, I don't really have a valuable reason to stay with Philip... He's nice and all but... we don't really have anything in common. It's sort of, I don't know how to explain it. I don't know if I stay with him just because I don't want to hurt him, or myself, or because I'm used to be with him. Or maybe because I'm just a fool. But I've realized that we don't even really talk, we don't do anything together, we just, live together..." I brought my other hand up and slipped the engagement ring off my finger. "And I realized that, I don't want that. And all along all I wanted was you." My voice cracked as a tear rolled down my cheek. "I'm so so so sorry." I cried as he circled his arms around me and held me tight against him.

"Hey. It's okay." He whispered. "You're here now, aren't you." He cupped my head into his hands and held it back to look me in the eyes. "Now please. Stop blaming yourself. It's not all your fault, I mean, I knew what I was getting myself into." A small smile tugged the corners of his thin lips up. "I mean, I'm a home wrecker now." He chuckled as I let out a breathy laugh.

"It's not funny." I whined. "How do I do this now?" I said as I opened my palm with the ring in it.

"Hey, I'm the home wrecker this is not my job." He held his hands up in defence before rolling out of bed. "I'm taking a shower, care to join?" He asked as he exited the bedroom.

"Yes, I need to wash myself of my sins." I groaned as I heard the echo of his laugh down the hall.

I rolled onto my back and sighed. Somehow, I felt better about this than I thought I would, somehow, I knew that everything was going to be okay. I felt like I was finally living.

I observed the light reflect on the ring in between my fingers.

"Hey, Dan?" I called out and waited for an answer.

"Yah?"

"How much do you think I can get for a diamond ring?"
