Chapter 28: I Can't Sleep Without You

"You... love me?" I stammer as soon as she regains her normal breathing and my fingers are pulled out of her. She doesn't answer me and instead, turns to the wall while grabbing the blanket to cover her body. In an instant, the walls are back up again and I couldn't reach her. "I heard you say it, love. You love me just as I do you."

"It was a moment of weakness Hero. I could've just said it because I was in the brink of my orgasm," she says calmly, almost mockingly.

Is she fucking serious right now?

"Don't give me that bullshit Jo," I grit.

"It's true though. Had it been another man doing that to me, I still would've said the same exact words." She's ruthless.

"Stop! Don't you dare say that! There will be no one else for you but me."

"Don't you think that's a little hypocritical of you?" She scoffs, her eyes blazing as they meet mine. "You say there will be no one else for me but you. And what about you though? Clearly that doesn't apply to you seeing as you were so quick to get on with another woman the moment you doubted my faithfulness to our relationship." Every word that comes out of the pretty little mouth of hers is like acid-burning and scorching me with their truths.

"I was stupid, love, and I am so, so sorry. It will never happen again, I swear to you." Now I'm back to begging, realizing that going neanderthal on her isn't going to help my case and will only further drive her away from me. "I love you babe," I add.

Huffing, she gets off the bed while wrapping the white covers on her small frame. She walks to the door, opening it wide. "You need to go. I've heard enough from you tonight." Her dismissal is a slap right across my face. Her face is set into a hard frown as she waits for me to stand and leave.

"Jo, please close the fucking door and talk to me," I say as gently as I could manage but the edge in my tone can't be disguised. I am not leaving this room without a reconciliation.

"You aren't leaving?" she asks sarcastically, her brow arching and I immediately feel a nervous chill run down my spine.

Fuck, here we go. The crazy is coning out.

"Fine by me. I'll just go down the hall and knock on Pia's or Khadijha's or Inanna's or maybe even Dylan's room and ask any of them to let me stay the night." She's already out the door as she says this and I run to catch up with her, reaching her just as she's about to turn the hallway and grabbing her by the waist. "Hero! What the fuck!" She screams as I drag her back to her room.

This bloody woman is fucking mental!

She writhes against me, feet kicking and arms flailing and nails scratching whatever part of my body she comes in contact to.

"Jo, it's one in the bloody morning. Let's not make a fucking scene with our shit, love," I growl in her ear. We finally reach her room and I slam the door behind me with a kick.

"You fucking asshole! Do not touch me again," she snaps as I finally let her go, her feet landing on the floor and she quickly takes a few steps away from me like she might catch a contagious disease from being close to me. That just hurts... a lot.

"You are being very unreasonable. What do you expect me to do? Let you prance around in the hallways looking like that?" I gesture a hand up and down her body. The blanket she's wrapped around her is now in total disarray with one of her tits in complete display. Looking down at her body, she gasps and immediately covers her chest with one arm.

"You tackled me!" she accuses and if looks could kill, I'd probably be down on the floor without a pulse.

"Because you are acting like a little child!" I bark. She is really testing my patience tonight.
