Adaline
I adjusted my eyes to the figure in front of me & my heart skipped a beat. So many thoughts ran through my head. How? Why? Why was he here? How did he know I was here? How did he get here? The first thing that came out of my mouth was more of scramble of words rather than a put together sentence.
"What are you doing here? How did you even get in?" I sit up & distance myself from him.
"Well hun, once I found out where you worked the rest was just too easy."
I scoffed in disbelief. A newfound confidence took over me as I stood up.
"Get the hell out." I raise my voice, getting more & more agitated by the second.
"But the party is just getting started, why stop here?"
"The amount of cockiness you posses is unattractive. That quality just adds to how repulsive you are & its definitely not doing you any favors." I make my way out of the room. It seems i've left him speechless because I haven't heard a smartass comment come out of his mouth since.
I turn around to see leaning against the doorway to my room. "Cats got your tongue?"
I head into the kitchen & open the fridge for some water when the left door closes abruptly.
"Is it so hard to believe I came back because I miss you."
I almost laugh in his face. "Actually yes it is."
His face is unreadable & he pauses. "Well I do, whether you believe it or not."
I roll my eyes. "You sure have a funny way of showing your sincerity, breaking into my home at 2:56 AM pretending to be my boyfriend. I mean seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?"
I don't give him time to answer as I shove him towards the front door.
"I know its odd but I didn't know how else to approach you, I knew you'd never give me the time of day to hear me out."
"And can you seriously blame me? You're lucky I didn't call the cops or something."
"Okay i'm sorry but can you atleast listen to what I have to say?"
I pretend to think about it but fail to do so. "No." I spit out.
He actually looked genuinely hurt by my rejection I almost felt bad. But I quickly came to my senses, remembering everything the man in front of me put me through. All the times he left me looking just as he does now, perhaps even worse.
"Look Adaline, I truly am sorry for everything. I just want to start over with you, can you atleast give me a clean slate?" He said nervously.
"You honestly think i'm just going to forgive you for everything you put me through, just like that? I'm better off without you. At first all I wanted was you & I was nothing but a convenience to you, you couldn't care less about me, how do you think that made me feel? Putting up with it for three years, three whole years Ashton. You hurt me badly & it's going to take way more than a halfhearted apology at 3AM to fix that."
He stood there speechless. "I just want you back." He mumbled looking down.
I yawned, completely exhausted by my sudden outburst at him.
"I think you should leave."
He headed out the door with his head down. I was ready to close the door when he slammed his lips onto mine, placing his hands on my hips. I was startled to say the least, no one in their right mind would kiss this man back if they were in my position so needless to say I didn't."
He pulled away but still inches close to my face, keeping his hands on my hips. "You can't say you don't feel anything for me anymore. I don't believe it." His hot breath fanned over my face.
I starred off into space as he began kissing on my neck. So many thoughts were going through my head & I had no time to fully decipher them. I felt as though my mind was separate from my body, like they were no longer one. My mind was on a different playing field than my body & I did all I could to reunite the two. As suddenly as possible I pushed him off.
"What are you doing?" I stood back in disbelief. "Get out, get the hell out Ashton!" I screamed, almost certain the neighbors could hear.
He stepped onto the doormat & was close to exiting. "I'm not giving up Adaline, this isn't over." And with that he left.
I slammed the door completely flustered. I just wanted Harry here, to hold me & tell me everything was going to be okay. I looked at the clock again which read 3:17AM, his flight is due to land at 4:30AM so I grabbed my phone & keys, threw on a hoodie & shoes & drove to the airport. At the airport I waited anxiously for him to land. I checked the time again & it was 5 minutes till. Any minute now Harry will be walking out of the door I have my eyes glued on. As soon as I saw his signature black coat I got up & ran to him. I wrapped my arms around him, allowing myself to breathe in his scent, the scent i've missed for so long.
He seemed a bit taken back from me being at the airport at such an early hour but nonetheless his muscles relaxed as they intertwined with mine. I took a step back & looked up at him.
"Oh i've missed you terribly Harry, I know you said you'd be at the house when I woke up but I didn't know what to do. I just wanted to be with you & you weren't there."
Harry reached down & wiped a tear from my face that uninvitingly made an appearance on my cheek. "I've missed you so much Adaline. But theres no need to cry, i 'm here now."
I nodded & smiled. "And words can't describe how happy & grateful I am that you are."
