Just A Step Away

Chapter 34

Katherine's POV:

Darwin opened the door before I put keys in lock.

My face immediately started heating up when I saw him. My conversation with Omer was an evidence that Darwin had become a history but as soon as I saw him, I felt guilty just like old times. I felt like I betrayed my love, my friendship, Darwin, whereas the reality was just opposite.

If you're so right then why are you feeling guilty?

'I don't know.'

"Can we pass if you've done staring at us?" Omer teased Darwin.

Darwin rolled his eyes and stared at Omer dangerously.

"I want to go in my room." I said to Omer. It was impossible for me to handle that tension between all of us.

"I'm also tired, let's go." He replied and was about to take me when Darwin came in front of us again.

"You must be thinking where you will sleep, right? You can sleep on that couch; I can sleep on the floor." Darwin suggested desperately and looked at us.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm used to staying at this place and I've always slept in Jasmine's room." Omer said confidently enough to show Darwin his place in my life.

Darwin looked at me with hurt in his eyes. He looked at me like a child who lost his only hope.

'I have changed Darwin. I have changed. I'm not that Sunshine who used to shine only for you.'

"Let's go Omer." I looked away because no matter what he did to me. I was not like him. I couldn't hurt him to the extend he hurt me.

We went in my room and closed the door behind us.

*************

I woke up and saw Omer still sleeping peacefully. I smiled at him and stroked his hair. He was not a morning person at all. He used to sleep till noon if he had no shoot or work scheduled.

I slept late at night. My mind was busy with all the possibilities I could had with Darwin, Omer and my life. I decided to leave everything on fate and decided to remember one thing only. Not to trust Darwin again. As far as Omer was concerned, he was the sweetest person I've ever seen. I just didn't want to break his heart. I had to be sensitive and cautious around him.

I cleaned myself and did my business before stepping out from bathroom.

I was feeling hungry so I decided to make rich breakfast for myself.

As soon as I stepped in kitchen, a hand encircled around my waist from behind and pulled my body towards him.

"Darwin!" I squeaked and tried to free myself.

"Don't do this to me. Please." He pleaded in my ear.

"Darwin leave me." I struggled in his arms. My body was on fire because of his touch. I felt goose bumps on my whole body.

'Why I melt in your arms? Why? I hate myself for this.'

"Kill me if you want. Punish me with my life but don't choke me like this. I'm sorry Sunshine, I'm sorry."

"Darwin I said leave me." That time I pushed him hard and he stumbled back.

I turned around to face him.

"What do you think you're doing? Don't forget your place. You're just a body guard so act like one."

"Shush." He placed his finger on my lips and his forehead on mine.
