Kane

Chapter Seven

Unedited

Lina.

"Your my soulmate Lina."

I hold his gaze, my hazel ones searching his amber ones, trying to see if he was lying to me, heck if he was playing with me. But nothing is held in his amber orbs as he holds my gaze intensely, a spec of raw vulnerability there but other than that, nothing but the utter truth shines through his gaze.

I lick my suddenly dry lips. My heart was jumping for joy, but the insecurities hidden years ago resurface with a vengeance as I try to comprehend a reply. My mouth opens on various occasions, yet nothing comes out.

With a sigh, I wring my hands together in my lap, trying to gather my jumbled up thoughts. I lick my lips once more before a word stutters out, "K-Kane" His eyes close suddenly his big hands tightening into fists as he screws his eyes shut. I watch him clench his jaw tightly before swallowing the muscle ticking intently.

He stands abruptly his eyes opening, this time the vulnerability no longer there, instead just two black bottomless pits as he stares down at me with a blank look, "I get it."

I flinch at his words, sounding lifeless, empty. Portraying how I feel as he utters them coldly. I feel a tear slide down my cheek as I watch him stare down at me completely blank, no emotion whatsoever. I swallow the lump in my throat as my heart and head battle in war over what and who to believe, my thoughts all over the place.

"What do you mean, you get it Kane" I whisper softly, so softly I don't even know if he had heard it. He shakes his head with a exhale, unclenching his fists he moves back a step, creating distance in between us, and also tugging a bit of me with him as he moves back further. "Forget it. It doesn't matter-" My mouth opens before I even notice, rage being brought fourth at his cruel words. "It doesn't matter huh? What the fuck Kane?"

I stand, from my sitting position, before closing the distance between us he created, my heart beating double time as more tears fall carelessly down my cheeks. My body swaying lightly, the same with my heart as it slowly starts to crack. I let out a breath I realized I was holding before proceeding forward.

I move in, till he has to look down in order for our eyes to meet. "Why would you say shit you don't mean? Please, don't say shit like that and then expect me to forget it. Please" I whisper harshly, my words becoming a plea as I hold his gaze "Don't- God Kane"

I turn away from him as a choked sob slips out of my lips. I felt the burning rage simmer as the familiar wave of pain washes over me. I try to hold myself from letting go, but fail.

Familiar hands grip at my waist, covering the span of my stomach before pulling me into a warm broad chest. I feel my chest tighten as I stutter out a couple of breaths.

Gripping my face in his hands, he bends till were both at eye level. I frown as my eyes meet his, pain etched across his handsome features. "When did I ever say anything to you that I didn't mean Lina?" he husks, his voice thick, deep sending tingles down my spine as he grips my chin in his big warm hand.

I hiccup once more, tears leaking down my chin, staining his shirt I'm currently wrapped in. "Y-you sa-said b-b-bbefore" I stutter embarrassingly, once again getting lost in his black orbs.

He shakes his head, placing his forehead against my own he breathes in deeply. "Baby, I didn't- fuck. I made a mess of this" with a sigh he continues, "We, me. I, God" he growls out harshly just as a knock sounds on the door behind us. He doesn't move, his gaze continuing to hold my own as the knocking continues.
