When Love Hurts

Chp 28- The Last Time

What? I was stunned as Bruce just said ‘I understand’ and stood up suddenly. My mind blanked for a moment before I stood up.

“Bruce! Wait!” I hurriedly rush to him when he stopped in his tracks.

“What else is there to talk about? If it is about Vince, I already knew.” His shoulders tensed when I grabbed his arm.

“You knew?” I turned him around but he refused to look at me.

“Yes. I know how a clown I am but please, leave me alone. I really can’t be happy for you right now.” I opened and closed my mouth like a fish for a moment. I’m confused.

“What are you talking about?”

“I knew you accepted his proposal. I just made a joke out of myself that’s all.” He finally turned to looked at me. His eyes bloodshot.

“What?! No! I didn’t accept his propo-“ I was stunned for a moment before frowning. “ how did you know he had a proposal for me?” He was surprised for a while before he spoke.

“Vince told me. He practically brag into my face.”

“That idiot, he is so gonna die..” I trailed off before he took my elbow.

“You mean you didn’t accept his proposal?” I nodded slowly when I saw his eyes lit up. In an instant his face scrunched together.

“If you didn’t then why are you sorry?” I blushed a little looking down.

“Because I ran away?” He moved his ear closer trying to catch my words. I felt his body freezed up before running a hand through his hair.

“I’m sorry Sir, Mdm. Are you still having dinner?” I could literally feel my face go tomato when the waiter asked.

“Yes.” Bruce dismissed the waiter and gestured me to follow him to the table. I hesitantly sat down and looked at him. He looked..Confused? There was it again. The awkward silence. I was so relieved when the food arrived. We tuck into the food in silence as I stared at him. Half way through his food, he put down the cutlery.

Bruce’s POV

My head is throbbing. I could feel my heart beating fast even when I tried to eat and swallow my food slowly. I know what I heard. She says she is sorry that she ran away. What does she mean? I couldn’t focus clearly as my heart is doing a small happy dance. She rejected Vince. She rejected him, yes yes yes.Wait.

“Ashley?” She nodded at me.

“ I saw you yesterday with Vince.” Her eyebrow lifted but I continued. “ I saw the both of you chatting happily and..and holding hands.” She choked a bit on her food. I gave her a surprised look as she wiped her mouth with the napkin.

“I told him my decision. He said he is happy for me. That’s all. I just thanked him for his understanding.” She bit her lip as I controlled myself from grabbing her across the table and kiss her. I wanted to ask her so much what about us? I was struggling within myself but I am afraid. So fucking damn afraid. She is sorry for running away..she could also mean that she is sorry she couldn’t return my feelings because she ran away. My heart can’t take it anymore. I feel like my heart will burst and die if she said the words I fear the most. This could be the last time I will be able to face her with a full heart.

“You are looking for me yesterday?” I broke out from the trance and snapped my head to her.

“Yes.”

“And you left after you saw me and Vince..?”

“Obviously.” Trying hard to hide the strain in my voice as I remembered last night.  I stared in disbelief when she placed her hand on top of mine. I didn’t resist when she pulled me away from the table. I was still in a dream like state when the food was paid and I was dragged to the lift. I was still staring at her hand that had rested on my arm.

“Ashley? What’s going on?” I finally had the courage to speak when we stopped in front of a door and she scanned the door open with her hotel card. She stayed silent, just pulling me by my blazer into the room. I was pushed to the bed as I stared at her dumbfounded. My heart was beating like crazy as she took her jacket off and walked towards me. The final straw came when she started to put her hands on my chest. I grabbed her and kissed her hard. She gave a grasp of surprise as I tore her blouse off her. I pressed her body hard against me, my mind going crazy when I heard her harsh breathing as I took off her bra. I trail kisses down her neck and nibbled on her skin. I was sweating internally. I could explode any moment now when I heard her moans as I travelled down to her soft nipples. She was grinding against me when I put one of her soft tip into my mouth.

“God, Ashie..” I couldn’t stop the pleasure that she was giving me as she grind against me. I took off my blazer and shirt as her lips crashed into mine. I hoisted her up and lay her on the bed beneath me. I couldn’t think clearly anymore. All I can see is her. Right there, tugging on my pants. This can’t be a dream. I scooped her into my arms, kissing her shoulder blade down to her chest. Her skin felt so soft and tender under my lips. I used my tongue and licked her stomach as I pull down her skirt and her underwear. I fingered her moist centre as my mouth closed onto her spot. I could feel her thrashing a bit as I attacked her violently. I can’t stop. She was grabbing the sheets before moaning my name loudly. I quickly undid my pants and pull them down along with my boxer. Her eyes are glassy as she looked at me, I kissed her slowly this time. Rubbing my desire against her entrance. I gripped her in my embrace when she tried to push me inside her. Groaning I slipped away from her entrance and rubbed against her again.

“Bruce..” I slid into her when she moaned my name, almost going apart when I felt myself shaking with pleasure. My heart shudders as I thrust in and out rhythmically. You are mine.
