MY SECOND BUT TRUE LOVE #Wattys2016

CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO

Amarion

I gazed at her as she slept peacefully. Her head rested on my chest and her arm laid on my belly. I still couldn't believe that it was her last day in my house. I didn't want her to go. I couldn't let her leave. I felt impotent as I massaged my fingers in her hair. All I could do was be with her until she left. I spoke to mom whether she could make her stay but perhaps she was right. Amour had her own family. She belonged there. But she also belonged with me.

There was a stinging pain in my heart just because she was returning to her home. She wasn't leaving me for good yet it hurt. I could understand how she must have felt when he left her. She loved him like I loved her. How agonising it must have been? I wished I was there with her then. I did feel bad for her but I am glad he left her or else she'd never be mine. But I also wished she never met him.

I stared at the clock, just four hours left with her. Her family must be halfway from the city. Was there anything that could make her stay? I wanted to see her everyday. I wanted to sleep with her in my arms while dreaming togther and wake up in the paradise of her embrace. Just seven days had irrevocably attached me to her. Each moment was beautiful and something I would never forget.

I regretted wasting a day because I had decided to lock myself up in my room. If I hadn't done that, I could have spent more time with her. I hated myself for that.

"Amarion?" Her soft voice made my thoughts disperse.

"Yes?" I replied as I kept messaging my fingers in her hair.

She looked at me with sleepy eyes, her hair dishevelled yet adorable. She placed her arms around me tighter and rested her ear against my chest.

"You were saying something?" I asked and she hummed in response.

"I was saying that" she replied and looked at me.

"I love you infinitely" she continued with a cute smile.

I pulled her closer and pecked her plump lips.

"I love you infinitely too" I replied after I kissed her forehead. She pulled me into a hug and murmured in the crook of my neck "I love you so, so, so, so, so much".

I giggled and embraced her tighter.

"So much that it hurts" she said as she pulled away.

My smile turned into a frown and I knew what she had on mind. It hurt her to leave too. She wanted to be with me.

"Then don't go" I whispered and she smirked.

"They're my family. I love them too" she cooed and I smiled. She had a stream of endless love in her heart. She just knew how to give.

"I am so lucky to have you" I stated and placed my palm on her cheek.

"No, I am lucky to have an angel" she replied and I grinned.

"I am not that innocent" I warned and she giggled.

"What would you do?" She asked and that question was an enough excuse for me to become mischievous.

I removed my t shirt and picked her up in my arms. She screamed in surprise and I guffawed.

"Let me down, you devil" she yelled and I sneered.
"Wasn't I the angel a while ago? " I asked as she playfully struggled to set herself free.

"A while ago but now you're a shirtless monster" she whined and I carried her off the bed.

"A handsome shirtless monster" I corrected her and she rolled her eyes. The sleepiness in her eyes was gone. She was excited and most importantly, happy.
