Chapter 14- Their Past

"I-I-I-" I stuttered and my mind became blank. What was I going to say?

"What is it?" He said softly, his green eyes boring into my dark brown ones.

"I saw something earlier." I looked away, am I supposed to tell him I read the letter? I was a nervous wreck!

"Which is?" I can feel his impatience radiating to my body.

"I found a letter." Why do I have to prolong the suspense?

"Oh?" He looked amused at my lack of discomfort.

"I found a letter from a woman named 'Katrina'." The moment I said the name, his face fell.

"Where is it?" He sounded serious, no more of the playfulness he had earlier.

"In the room I stayed in." I looked at his face fall further if that was even possible, then his lips pressed into a thin line.

"Show me." He stated, those two little words intimidated me. I walked back up the stairs, entered the room I stayed in then into the walk in closet. I stopped just below where the letter rested.

"Well?" He crossed his arms across his chest.

"If I show you, what will you do?" I asked, finally finding my voice.

"Depends on what the letter contains." His eyes suggested hurt but masked by a strong physique.

"Do you love her?" I regretted the question as soon as it came out of my mouth. Why do I seem so bothered with that question?

"Did." That one word made me feel a little relieved. Wait, why do I suddenly feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest? Get a grip!

I reached up, making my dress hitch up an inch or two and I can feel Seth's eyes focused on my legs. My cheeks reddened at that, I finally found the letter and handed it to him. He left and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He read the letter, I watched him move from one piece of paper to the other. I watched his face change from worry to concern to sadness then finally, anger. "Seth" I sat down beside him but I can feel him pulling away.

"I want to be alone." I can hear his voice crack up. I didn't move an inch, I am his friend and part of that is being there for him when he needs me.

"I'm not going anywhere." We sat down in silence, not knowing what to say. I can feel him think, his body may be in the land of the living but his mind wandered off somewhere.

"Ysabel, leave!" He hissed and I winced but I still didn't go. I won't go.

"No!" I yelled at him and I can almost see steam come out of his nostrils, I'm kidding but I can feel his anger.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh. He seems to contemplate on something. "Ysa, why won't you leave?" He asked as calmly as he can.

"Because I promised you I won't." I whispered but he heard me perfectly. His head snapped in my direction and I saw him narrow his eyes.

"Leave. Me. Alone." His face was now mere inches from mine.

"No." Next thing I know I was pushed onto the bed and he was straddling me. My hands were pinned on top of my head and his face was centimeters away.

"Do you want to leave now?" His eyes were dark, no more of that soft side. I was speechless, is this the real Seth? Is he like this when someone pushes his buttons?

I can't speak and think properly. How will I respond to that? What am I going to do? I tried to remove my hands in his grasp but he only tightened his grip.
