Real Love

Chapter 43- Unexpected

Sophia's POV

The sound of the doorbell made me, rush downstairs. It was Thursday, flat 6 in the evening, and Threat hasn't called me yet. He's been missing for two days of classes. My parents aren't here, so I'm all alone. As I reach the front door, I let out a sigh and took a deep breath.

I open the front door, and my eyes wide open, when it reveal Threat. His hair was slight mess, but still he looks good. His lips curved into a smile made mad. How dare him act like nothing happened, while my heart is aching.

"Hi baby, I miss you." He snap.

My mouth leave a smirk and I raised my brows. "Don't baby me Threat. What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I shouted. I don't know why I did that, but Threat shook his head, and remain silent.

My mouth leave a groan and I crossed my both arms. I just want to understand him, but he's hiding something from me. we've been together for one month, and I thought I already know him, but I guess not.

Threat's still silent, like he's thinking something I don't and won't ever understand. I took a deep breath and look at him through his eyes. "Threat.. Please tell me what's going on." I whisper.

He run fingers through his hair, and accept my gaze. He step inside the house and shut the door close. He sigh, and look at me, his eyes are saying something I don't know.

"Sophie, you don't understand." He muttered.

"Then make me understand Threat! What's wrong? if you won't tell me, then leave me alone..." I felt like my eyes are in heat. I sigh and continue my words. "L-l-leave me forever." I said softly.

He step closer and look at me, with wide eyes. "Is that what you really want? That I'll leave you forever?" He looks hurt. I can't accept his gaze, so I close my eyes.

Is that what I really want?

I felt his both hands on mine. I really like him beside me, but it would be better if we leave each other's side for now. My mind keeps telling me to stay away from him. But my heart's telling me no.

"I'm sorry Sophie.. but tell me honestly, do you really want me to leave your side?"

I took a deep breath. My heart is aching because of pain. "No." I muttered.

"Then why so?" He asked.

"Because it would be better for us, if we'll stay away for each other." Then tears started to rush down my eyes. For me, it was the most painful decision I ever made.

Threat shake his head and embrace me into a hug. I just let out a silent cry as I lean my head on his shoulder. He run his hand through my back made me feel better. "It would be better if we stay on each others arm." He said softly.

I pull away, looking on his pair of eyes, his hand wipe away the tears on my cheeks. He kissed my forehead, my nose, my both cheeks, and last I felt his lips on mine, caused a thousand of butterfly erupt inside my stomach. His kiss was soft, full of care and sincerity, made me close my eyes.

We pull away, still not leaving his eyes. He brush his palm on my cheeks made me shiver. Then he motion his head closer and our forehead are almost brushing. I took a deep breath, and his thumbs brushing my cheeks.

"I won't let that happen Sophie. Because, you're mine and I will forever be yours." He whisper.

His words released a thousand emotion. It made my heart sing in joy. A realization that suddenly came in my mind, that I wasn't ready to tell everybody, even myself. A fact that I was able to tell everyone when i was already sure and everyone will understand.
