Do you love me , Jess?", he held onto me and said. The bed was soft under my physique.I fitted just perfectly, in the curve of his lean and muscular body. I looked into his ocean blue eyes.
" I do love you, Zach", I said smoothening his hair with my fingers.
He met his lips with mine. And that was when I got absorbed in him. He started soft but soon I found him kissing me quite harsh.
I could taste my blood at the spot where he had bitten my lips.
I felt him move down all the way down to my shoulderblades, kissing my neckline.
I shifted underneath him.
" I love you too Jess", he moaned in my ears. " I love you so much"
But something was different about him. Difference I had never noticed. His ways were protective. The way he touched me , the way he kissed me, displayed the insecurity burning inside him.
I touched his face, smoothened his hair and looked into his eyes. It appeared as if they were ignited with some unknown flame. A flame very distant. A flame that would bring no good. A flame that could only be responsible for destruction.
A flame that carried jealousy.
That was when I realised that my perfect puzzle was now broken. Shattered into pieces. My mind drifted off to Jason.
He was so sweet . So friendly. So caring.
And yet I could blame no one but him for breaking us.
