"Well isn't it good to see you again?" James said, his hands on either side of the wall.
I gulped at the close proximity between us, "Please let me me go James" I replied trying to free myself from his iron grip.
He moved his face towards the side of my ear. His lips slightly brushing my earlobe, "Or what?" He said huskily, his eyes holding a challenge.
God his sent was intoxicating!
"Someone will see us!" I whispered.
He smiled, "All those years Darce, and you still haven't changed."
No one had ever called my Darce except James. Hearing that name after years from his lips felt so good.
"Still thinking about what others would think. Haven't you learned to live for yourself?" He continued
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "It's been years James! Get over it! Because I've moved on and you should do the same!" I yelled.
He moved his hand from the side of the wall and gripped my waist tightly, "You say you've moved on but your body says a different story. You know you're lying to me!"
"Eight years! EIGHT FUCKING YEARS DARCE!" James yelled
His face was only inches away from mine. My breathing had become rapid. He was right, I was lying to him. All these years I tried so hard to move on but I couldn't. I felt guilty and heartbroken for doing what I did to him! Hell I still loved him so much!
But all those years keeping the distance was better for both of us, "Why are you doing this now?" I asked, my voice barely audible.
"I WANT ANSWERS! AND I'D DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET OUT THOSE ANSWERS FROM YOU!" He yelled, his face even closer than before......
𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄. 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀. 𝐌𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐘.
"I don't know how to feel about you. I should hate you for everything you did" He was so close. His hot breath on my face sent shivers down my spine. His lips barely touched mine, making them quiver.
"but for me 'you' and 'hate' do not exist together."
"You should hate me Adriano" My voice came out as a weak whisper.
"Yes, I should" He replied as he used the towel to slowly wipe all the water off of my face, neck, and shoulder. "But I can't" he whispered against my lips and dipped his head to give an open mouth kiss on my jaw making my legs wobble.
