....."I love you", He said, as I watched the rain pour on us relentlessly.
"I don't", I told him.
He closed his eyes breathing in heavily as there was silence between us, only the sound of raindrops on the tin roof rumbled as it fell could be heard.
He opened his eyes bringing me closer to him as I could now hear his heartbeats beating fast.
"Liv", He said in his deep sexy voice as I could feel his breath on my neck, making me shiver at the spot.
"Liv", He said again
Look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me.
"Leo, I don't love you and can never love you." I said.
"Then why did you run a whole 3km from the office to my house crying when you heard of the attack against me?.", He said chuckling while wiping my tears.
I didn't get to think because before I could register anything I felt his lips on mine. I immediately froze then heard.
"Liv!, Liv!, where are you?
I immediately pushed him walking towards the voice.
"And liv", I heard him say
And I hummed in response, at a distance from him.
" you are not an empty barrel".
