MY SECOND BUT TRUE LOVE #Wattys2016

CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE

Amour

I sniffed as I pulled away. I hadn't expected him to cry. His words made me want to stay but how could I? He was being like a child wailing for his favourite toy. I wished I could be in his arms and forth his eyes just like he had said and not only in his heart. Only if it was possible.

"Keep smiling. Don't cry" he said while looking at me.

"You made me" I replied playfully and he frowned.

"I know, I am sorry" he whispered and wiped the tears from my face.

"It's okay. A few tears are acceptable for a countless smiles" I replied and his face lit up with delight.

"I didn't mean to make you cry and I didn't even realise when I did. I just want to be with you" he said in a hushed tone as he scratched his nape.

"I know but baby, I won't ever leave you. So, stop worrying" I said and placed a kiss on his forehead.

He hummed in response and gave me a brief hug. He kissed on the top of my head and whispered an 'I love you'.

"I love you too" I cooed and pecked his lips.

He didn't seem satisfied with the peck and pulled me closer to deepen the kiss.

"Amarion?" I said after we made out.

"Yes?" He looked lovingly in my eyes. I stared for a moment at my paradise. Wouldn't I be receiving a souvenir?

"I want something, will you give it to me?" I asked and he smiled softly.

"Just name it" he replied and I grinned.

"Can I have a t shirt of yours?" I asked and he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Of course.Which one do you want?" He questioned with a gentle smile.

"Any of your choice" I said and he raised his eyebrows.

"The black one looked good on you" he smirked and I blushed.

"Okay then" I replied and he went to his closet. He handed me his black t shirt.

"Thank you" I said while looking into his eyes.

"Remember what I told you?" He asked and then his words replayed in my mind.

"Love is the only thing equal to love" I giggled and kissed his cheek.

"That's better" he said and smiled. His eyes were a little red but his face wasn't as dull as it was a while ago. He seemed better.

"We should get going" I told him as I kept the t shirt in the bag.

He lifted my bag for me and also offered to hold the handbag. I allowed him to take the bag in order to not hurt his 'gentleman feelings' but I took the handbag.

He gently kissed my cheek as he opened the door for me. I returned the kiss and headed downstairs.

"All packed up already?" Julian asked as she saw us approaching the living area.

"Yeah" I replied. She looked at the both of us and smiled.

"Distance makes a relation stronger" she said but I shrugged my shoulders.

"I hope so" I said as I looked over at Lily.

I walked to her and knelt down beside her. She was making a drawing. When I looked closer, I realised it was a girl who looked like me holding a little girl's hand.

"Is that us?" I asked and she nodded adorably.

"That's so sweet" I said as she handed me the drawing.
