''God, where have you been? ''
Nicklaus exclaid as he felt stings of tears clouding his gaze. He never thought he would ever live like a normal human being, but she had co into his life like a light at the end of a tunnel. And to think he had hurt her so much? What the hell was he thinking to have locked her up in that dark room for days?
What if she had died in there? What if she had killed herself? He had hurt her so much, yet she had forgiven him without thinking twice. He was really a bad fellow.
Nicklaus smile dwindled as he thought of all the wrongs he had caused her.
''Beautiful, I'm very sorry. I'm so very sorry, for everything I've done to you, for the pain I've caused you. I wasn't in my right mind then, I'm really sorry, I can't even imagine that I did those things to you. God, what have I done? ''
Nicklaus raised his hand to his eyes as he tried to hold in the tears forcing its way to his eyes. His legs beca weak and he slumped on the bed, covering his face with both hands.
Tiana's head was on fire, she felt all the anger, pain and hatred she had for him crumble into tiny pieces. She was trying to find a reason to hate him but she couldn't hold unto any.
No, she didn't like this! Why did he have to apologize? Why? Now she couldn't be angry at him anymore.
Does he know how much she wanted to make him pay for what he did to her? Does he know? Now she didn't have the right to be angry anymore.
''I'm sorry, God, I'm a terrible person. '' Nicklaus cried, clutching his hair with both hands, he just rembered when he told her to strip in front of him and she had pleaded with him but he was so adamant, what the fuck was wrong with him?
His heart squeezed so much that he felt it would burst any second; he hit his chest with his right hand as he tried to hold in the pain. God, it hurt like hell!
Tiana's hands trembled as she watched him, her eyes clouded with tears as she realized that she was no longer angry with him. She couldn't even rember what he had done wrong anymore, the only thing that clouded her mind was the fact that he was crying helplessly in front of her right now.
Inching closer to him, Tiana raised her hand slowly and patted on his back.
She would be no different if after he had apologized sincerely, she ignored him and continued hating him. She didn't know if anyone could do it, but at that mont, she knew she couldn't bear to do it.
''It's alright, I forgive you. Stop crying now, you're making feel bad'' Tiana yelled as she rubbed her teary eyes with the back of her hands. Seeing that he wouldn't raise his head, she squatted in front of him'
''I said I've forgiven you, okay? It's in the past now, we have a present and a future to worry about. ''
Nicklaus raised his head slowly to look at her, his face red with guilt. When he saw her face, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her so tight that Tiana felt her soul seeping away from her body.
''Ah, I'm not breathing… '' She alerted, and when Nicklaus eased his grip, she chuckled lightly.
''Thank you Thank you so much. You're the best thing that had happened to . ''
He spoke passionately, kissing the side of her head.
''Aish, stop, you're making blush; '' Tiana replied tenderly as she slowly put her arms around him, hugging him back.
''I feel so relieved right now. '' Nicklaus said, snuggling his head in the crook of her neck, his lashes tickling her skin.
A warm smile washed Tiana's lips. Now she could feel without having to think back on the things he had done to her. It sounded strange, but Tiana knew that after being close to him for a while, she never really hated him; it was more like she was finding a reason to not like him.
''I don't know why I feel so complete when I'm around you, my worries, pain, anguish, I don't feel any of them with you. You take them all away beautiful. ''
Nicklaus raised his head so he could look her in the eyes, her gaze locking in his, making her heart skip a beat. His gaze was deep and she could read the desire in them, he raised his both hands to her face and shifted her hair away from her face so he could have a closer view of her features.
Tiana gulped, her cheeks burning as his thumb drew circles on them; she bit on her lower lip as she gulped hard, her lower abdon reacting to his touch.
''Beautiful '' Nicklaus groaned, his hand slid to the back of her neck and his other hand cupped her cheek; ''Do you know how crazy you drive when you do that? ''
Tiana felt her core clench at his words, her heart slamming against her chest and she knew her face was terribly red. Her eyes fell from his eyes to his lips, only to see him lick his lower lip slowly;
Fuck…
She groaned internally as she struggled to take her eyes away from his wet and seducing lips.
She didn't want to but her brain started imagining lewd thoughts as they forced her eyes to remain on his lips. They looked so soft; she gulped as she imagined how soft his lips would feel in her mouth.
Her eyes looked up to his eyes after a while and her lips parted when she saw the fiery gaze in them. They weren't speaking but their gazes had said it all, and at that mont, they both knew what they wanted.
Tiana swallowed again when his head tilted towards her, his gaze falling to her lips. Tiana didn't realize that she was leaning towards him until she had closed the gap between them.
It was like a sparkle, a bolt of electricity, a wave of shock, every other thing silenced around them. Their ears could hear nothing but the slam of their hearts against their chests and in a split second, their lips touched.
