Chapter 260: Confessions
"N-No, no!" I shook my head. "D-Don’t say this right now please... not when I just found you" I held his hand against my cheek watching him with teary eyes. "I was lost Dace" I began in a more heartbroken tone. it felt like my chest was being squeezed by an invisible hand as I continued...
"Even though I was in a coma all I thought about was you, I wanted to get up from that bed so badly but I couldn’t, i-it broke " I couldn’t stop the tears anymore, they set loose as well as my longing and the days I endured without him, it was just too much to contain, he was here right now but yet I was scared, scared he would go away to a place I wouldn’t see him again, and that will shatter , I don’t think I can bear anymore separation from him again, it will kill .
Both our families never truly accepted our relationship and the reality of being apart from him was just too much to wield. As far as I was concerned I didn’t want to... if it was just possible to glue him to my side I wouldn’t hesitate.
He used his thumb to wipe my tears away. "It broke , Emma," I noticed his grip against
tighten again. "It broke
because I couldn’t get to you and..." he sighed, leveling his gaze. "I felt like I was being destroyed inside , my beast was the only comfort I could find yet I couldn’t reach it, nothing... nothing can ever give
comfort as you have shown "
He looked afar... and watching him right now in this view I saw just how much lost he was, he looked dull and still drowning in pain, it hurts so much to see him like this... he looked almost broken... almost. And I noticed the cluster of water in his eyes threatening to fall but he seed to push it aside sohow. He set his dull eyes back on .
"When I heard what happened Emma, I thought I would lose you forever and that thought alone was enough to kill
and I couldn’t get to you. I shouldn’t have stayed away and-"
I cut him off as I placed our forehead together.
"Please don’t say that, it’s not your fault, please" I squeezed my eyes shut, his pain was mine too and it broke
each ti he spoke, so much pain and emotion radiated off him.
I heard him exhale deeply, wrapping his arms around my waist more until there was no space between us anymore. I loved it and I didn’t want him to part from
either, I didn’t mind if we stayed glued to each other like this for as long as it takes. I just needed this closure, the feel of his body pressing against mine with no boundaries whatsoever, or nothing... absolutely nothing to keep us apart right now.
I felt his forehead move, I kept my eyes closed as he gently rubbed his cheeks against mine, a chill ran through
as I bit my bottom lip.
"I missed you so fucking much"
I smiled as I flicked my eyes open, he was watching
now with those light hazels of his, he was smiling back at
and it lted my heart, fuck I miss his smile so much, it made his dull expression lighten and it gave him a boyish look.
"I-I miss you too" I blushed because suddenly his pining gaze on
turned heated and everything else around
went lost to
and it was just
and him and his eyes on
like I was only the only breathing being before him.
"I..." the words hung in my throat but I was very determined to say them, I promised myself I would when he finally cos back to , this may not be the most romantic way but this was sothing I knew I had to accept, a feeling that has built up since the very mont I laid my eyes on him, it was transparent to
but I was yet to accept it because I didn’t fully understand what it ant but Dace taught
what it ant, with his actions, his words and his care towards .
As crazy as it may be I ended up falling for him in several ways that I still couldn’t possibly imagine. Like there was a powerful storm that covered
and I welcod it, he was like a bursting volcano that burned my skin from the inside out and I let it, he has taken
out of the shell I never thought I would leave and covered
in his and I didn’t wanna co out of it not ever.
"I-I love you, Dace"
I saw it... it awoke a spark in his light hazels that swirled in a mix of gold and its natural highlights, like the stars and like the storm of a blend of emotions reawakened.
I gasped when he moved from the tree, moving us both in the process, his hands still firm on my waist as he backed , my head tilted up to still keep my eyes glued to it, for he seed taller now after leaning away from the tree bark.
There was silence but it wasn’t at the sa ti for sothing could be heard from the gentle whoosh of breeze and then I heard it.
"I’m fucking madly in love with you Emma Adams, from the very first mont I laid my eyes on you"
His confession split
into halves and brought
back to my full self but I was crumbling under his gaze that told
just how much he ant every word he said to .
"You have no idea how much " he mumbled and brought his lips to mine and locked them in a slow hot movent that caused my legs to shake.
