Moonlight Kiss

Chapter 24

       “Y-Your… w-what?” I stuttered in astonishment. He stood in front of me as I stared at him. I didn’t know what else to say, he looked sad and completely lost. I counted to three before regaining back my posture.

He took a step forward locking his eyes with mine. He raises his hand and tucks a lock of hair behind my ear.

      “It happened a long time ago, when I was ten. He was a…an alcoholic. One day he decided to drink too much after having an argument with my mother. He lost it after slapping her; I’m guessing he felt bad because he left immediately after that. I didn’t know what to do; all I did that night was hug my mother. Melissa was just eight when all of that happened and at the time she was with one of her friends so she didn’t witness of all the argument. But I was there…”

He paused for a minute just making sure if I still wanted to hear the story. I took a hold of his right hand and gave it a squeeze. He looked down at our intertwined hands.

      “I felt as if it was my fault. From what I remember they were arguing about financial issues and how much he didn’t want kids…” Tears were spilling down his eyes. I tried my hardest not to turn away because I knew at he was not the only one in pain.

      “I thought all of that was my fault…I sometimes still think that way. I wonder what would have happened if I didn’t exist…”

I felt tears spilling down my eyes. I pulled him to me hugging him tight. I started sobbing, the pain was unbearable. I wanted so much to take his pain away. I wanted to stop all the sadness that he was feeling, but I knew that couldn’t do it.

I felt myself useless for a minute, all I could do was hug him tightly and never let him go. He pulled me closer to his chest as he started sobbing on my shoulder. There was nothing else said for a few minutes, we just stood hugging each other as if being separate would just cause us more pain. I patted his back gently whispering him how much I loved him.

He slowly pulled back only for a minute before gently pressing his soft lips against mine. I brought my hands around his neck pulling him closer to me. I kissed him with everything in me as I felt him surrender in my embrace.

After a minute he pulled back, his eyes shining under the light. A small smile spread across his face. “I love you” he whispered.

      “I love you too” I replied bringing my hand to his face. I gently caressed his cheek; he closed his eyes as my fingertips touched the corner of his eyes. He sighed bringing me closer.

        “You can’t let that hurt you Robert. You had nothing to do with the argument” I found myself saying. He opened his eyes and nodded.

       “I’m sorry for making you cry” he whispered, not trusting his voice. I touched his soft honey brown hair.

       “It’s nothing. I’m here for you, always. You were giving this life because you are strong enough to live it. Don’t ever forget that, besides what would I do if you weren’t here? I don’t know what I’ll do without you Robert. You are my life and my soul mate” he smiled at me. A real smile appeared on his face as his eyes light up with hope.

      “I would be lost if you weren’t at my side” he said with happiness.

I brought his face closer to mine and kissed him like never before. There was nothing in the world that would separate us. We are soul mates, one and the same.

For as long as I’m alive, I would never let anything happen to Robert, there would never be sadness in him, and he will not suffer again.

I guess life brings us unhappiness, but just when the light seems to fade away, there will always be someone or something that will bring us up again. There will always be hope for all of us.

I just hope that whatever this new adventure brings me, everyone would be okay.

That night we decided to just hold each other as we surrender ourselves to a good night sleep. I felt for once happy to be in his arms as the darkness took us away.
