Dimples

Chapter 5

"Do you wish this hadn't happened Kate?" Derek asked me with sadness in his voice. He was looking at me, waiting for an answer and my mind wouldn't let me find a reason that this couldn't happen.

"I don't want to hurt you and I don't want to get hurt again. I'm still married technically. I have so much going on and it isn't fair to you to ask you to go through all of this." I was feeling the tears coming back to me. I turned away from Derek's embrace. I needed a minute to gather myself and get my mind right.

I walked towards the bedroom and fell on to the bed. My head was in my hands and I was thinking about the last week and everything that had happened. The only good thing that had happened to me in that time was meeting Derek. He'd never asked me for anything and it made me realize he just wanted me for me. He didn't want me for sex, for a good grade or for anything else. He'd wanted me from the beginning and if I was honest with myself, I wanted him too. There was just something about him that made me feel whole again.
