His darks

The Wedding(Part 4)

It was all too much for me to handle I did something which shocked us both. With full anger that was forming inside me, I slapped Dale across face. There was silence all over.

 Dale was dumbstruck, he was holding his cheek. The pain and hurt was clearly plastered across his gorgeous face. I don't know why I did that, maybe because I couldn't see anyone hurting Jaden. Be it Dale or anyone else, I couldn't stand at the thought of anyone ever hurting Jaden.  I know Dale would never ever forgive me for this, he was always by my side in all my ups and downs and this is what I gave him for all those wonderful days spent together. Dale left from the place without saying a word. I looked towards Jaden; he was hurt and was still bleeding from the fresh wound given by Dale. I felt bad for them both. I went near Jaden and helped him to get up from the floor and made him sit on the couch. I cleaned his wound he kept staring me all this while. None of us said a word, there was a strange yet comfortable silence eloping us both. Things were pretty clear between us now; I liked this stillness between us. The stillness said so much, it felt time had stopped at its own free will. It was the first time that we were both not arguing or fighting over anything. This stillness was much similar like the still waters of a beautiful pond just formed after the heavy rains. I stared at his gorgeous face; he was indeed a very handsome man.

 Breaking the comfortable silence I spoke looking in those tender yet wondering eyes. 'You fine, is it still paining? '

Taking my palms in his hands looking deep in my eyes, he said 'For the first time I am perfectly fine'.

Those words left a deep impact down my soul. I looked away from his perfect face the stinging sensation was still alive in my palms; I was feeling so guilty for doing that.  I could have dealt with things in a much better way,   had I not lost my temper like that. Within moments I lost my good friend, I don't know will he ever see my face again or not.

I was brought back to reality, as Jaden's voice interrupted my thinking process, 'I am sorry, it's my fault'.

'No it's not' I replied my gaze fixed on his wound.

Things were pretty fucked up in my life. It was hard for me to accept the things that were happening around me; I had no control over the situations.

'I think I should leave now, there are lots of preparations to be done for tomorrow, if you need anything call me' I said with a voice that had lost his essence.

 I started  getting up, Jaden reached for my hand and squeezed it gently.

 'Don't go please stay with me, for a while'.  With such a need he said that I couldn't go, I looked into those needy eyes they said so much yet remained silent.           

'Ok' I said giving him a warm smile.

I sat beside him, I rested my head on his strong shoulders, I was falling apart with every passing breath I needed someone to comfort me. He scooted closer to me, his strong arm sliding around my petite waist. I pulled up my knees closer to my chest and curled myself into a small ball. I was a way too tired and exhausted beyond limit. So I had let him take control over me, I preferred it that way. I could feel him breathing, his chest moving up and down rhythmically and so silently, I was enjoying this moment of comfort, this moment of love, this moment affection with him.

'You know I have always wanted you, I am happy to be with you now.' Jaden said

I looked up at him, I wanted to say many things, and there was so much inside me that I always wanted to say about how I felt for him. How I much I needed him always. But all I preferred was to remain silent. I only listened to all he had to say, about how he had always felt for me. He was speaking while I kept staring him, I loved him this way he was continuously talking. His words were like flowing stream I was so much willing to take a dip in it. I smiled like a fool as I continued to listen to everything he had to say. I don't know how long I sat there with him like that; it felt wonderful enjoying such a moment with him. Finally I had to leave, I wasn't willing to but mum had been calling me since long, there were lots of things to be done for the wedding.  With a smile on my face I left from his place, I was very happy  at the same time very much disappointed with my behavior with Dale.
