CHAPTER 54
MERCY'S POV
What the fuck?
He looked up at me for a second before placing his head back on my chest. I knew it was not easy for him to say all this and even though I felt guilty, it was necessary.
"after a month of waiting for the police or anyone, I decided to run. Daniel said we should wait but I told him; no, we had to rescue ourselves...... he died during the escape with the police right in front of us."
"he died in my hands Mercy. I begged him and begged him not....."
The machine started beeping high,
"Hakeem look at me. It is alright. Breathe in and out."
He stared at me and followed my instructions. The beeping reduced and all that was left was silence.
We stared at each other until his hands went to the back of my neck and pulled me closer. He placed his lips on mine. Those lips that I have been missing.
They tasted just as I remembered, felt just like before or even more.
When we were both out of breath, we pulled back with a grin on our faces.
"I have been wanting to do that."
He said as if he knew what was on my mind.
"me too."
He placed his free hands on my face brushing off one of my box-braid which has managed to fall.
"do you see me differently now?"
He asked softly.
I raised an eyebrow confused.
"what?"
"you know, with you knowing all this."
He explained further, this has always been his fear and he was right. If not anything, I can say it made me love him more.
"yes, I see you differently."
He removed his hands and looked down making me chuckle. He looked like a small boy being scolded.
I could a scowl forming as I kept on chuckling.
"Babe, I meant as a stronger person. You have been through all this and I know it has not been easy for you to move on, but you still do it. You are always there for me even though you have your skeletons.
Look, if anything it has made me love you more."
I said making him look up with a wide smile.
"really?"
I nodded,
"but please don't ever try to do this again. Think about those who love you, please."
