Stranger Things

I Still Love You

Claire's POV
We came home in a very late hour bacause of that session... I went into our bedroom and grabbed a mirror.

"Oh gosh!! SO HAGGARD!!" I whined.

"Atleast you look rather fine, I look like a monk that got hit by a Train..." Owen grunted.

I laughed at his reaction. I never thought that he'd be that... Cute.
I sat on our couch and rested my head. He sat beside me, leaning his head on my shoulder.

"You smell like Vanilla." he whispered tiredly.

I can feel my face getting red,

"Hey, don't tell me you're asleep already?" Owen looked up at my face and I pretended to be asleep.

"Hmm... I guess you are." he pouted and went to the kitchen.
I let out a sign and continued to pretend asleep when he got back.
He wrapped his arms around me...

'Oh my god, what is he doing?!' I thought to myself.

He carried me bridal style and walked in our bedroom, I feel uncomfortable.
But he just tucked my in the bed, and nothing else. I was... Impressed of his chivalrous self.

"You know Claire..." he started brushing my hair with his fingers.

"Why'd you have to be everywhere," he laughed sarcastically.

'I'm getting confused...' I thought to myself.

"You always haunt me in my dreams... And, now you're here. Sleeping." I could feel his tearsdrops in my cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I was a coward before. I couldn't do anything... You were one of the HIGHEST and I'm one of the LOWEST. " he gently wiped his tears in my cheeks.

"But...There's one thing I want to say before we get divorced." he whispered.

"I still love you, Claire. Always and Forever. " He kissed my forehead and walked away, he slightly closed the door of our bedroom. I opened my eyes as wide as I can, and I stared at the chandelier above me. I can feel hot tears sliding in my cheeks, My face was burning... I felt guilty for not thinking of loving him back.
'Oh Owen...' I whimpered.
