I had a ton of homework to do but as much as I disliked it kept me busy and stopped my mind from wandering to David.
The next morning after our fight he left town for a day, we didn't talk after that night and I hated myself for missing him.
I got too carried away again and started thinking about him, I let out a sigh and got on the floor with my schoolwork to try and concentrate.
I had gotten him out of my mind, when a knock sounded on my door that was before it slowly creaked open.
The man stalking my thoughts slipped into my room. My heart fluttered at the sight of him.

Broad shoulders, clean shave, tired eyes, dark navy suit, white inside shirt, sleeves folded up, and two buttons popped from the top of his shirt. What, Was he trying to kill me looking like that?
"Hey, can we talk?"
"Yeah, whatever?" I blew him off.
Then sat up properly, leaned down to me, and just stared for a while, I swallowed hard and then did my best to make eye contact, his eyes were faint and a smile appeared on his lips as he ran his finger across my cheeks,
With a sigh, I attempted a simple yet reserved conversation in the hopes of breaking the tension.
"Did you just get..." I paused, my body tensing at our proximity. "Home." I finished off, with a long exhale.
He hummed distractedly, the sound deep from his throat as his eyes pierced my face.
I cleared my throat and tried to act unbothered,
"Have you eaten anything?"
There was a smile in his voice when he responded. "It's kinda cute that you are concerned about me even while you are upset."
"Whatever, I was just making conversation."
He reached for my hand and pulled me off the floor to the bed, I gazed at our joined hands as he dragged me towards the bed, despite being mad at him, I was excited.
He sat me down carefully and then pulled up a chair in front of me. What's this an intervention? I thought.
"Is there a reason for all this?" I grit.
"Hmm." He hummed in response and moved forward, "First and foremost, I do love you." Those words wreaked havoc in my mind and took down all the walls I built. I inhaled and tried not to cry, "And, you were right. I haven't been completely honest with you, and you have every right to be upset. I admit I only agreed to this arrangement because I wanted to keep you safe."
You would think hearing him admit his feelings, would make that hurt even less.
"I was just going to keep you here until you were safe and could leave. That has always been the plan."
