Alex just held her close, gently stroking her back as she cried. He could feel her tears soak in his suit, but that was not even a problem to him. Each ti her body trembled, his heart caved in. He never intended to bury, and he never will, but sohow, he had done just that.
He knew how many tis she had been hurt. Gotten her heart broken and in similar ways. Cheating partners who didn’t think she was enough. But he was not like that. Those people didn’t know her worth, and he did. To him, there was no one better than her, for she had his heart at her possession.
"There is only one woman in my heart, and that woman is you. No one else," he started when her sobs had settled down a bit, and she could hear him properly. "I don’t need another woman because you are more than enough for , Sara. No one else can ever take your place in my heart. It has been like this for years, and it won’t change now," he heard suck in a deep breath followed by a hiccup. He continued stroking her back.
"There is no way that I will ever disrespect you in such a way. I will never stoop so low. Not for anyone," he continued. "I have no feelings for that woman. I never will because all of belongs to you and you alone. This is my promise to you."
Sara was calm now, his words, though they could be considered as sweet nothings he is saying to her to coax her did ease up her heart a bit. Maybe his words were working on her, but her mind was clear now.
The ache in her heart still persists but not as prominent as before.
Maybe it was because he chased after her. Or he because be didn’t try to cook up to feed her with, but she wanted to believe his words. To believe him. Besides their close proximity, she didn’t see anything else. They didn’t do anything. And he didn’t hesitate to go after her.
"I am sorry I hurt you even though it was never my intention to hurt you," he buried his nose in her hair, taking in the scent of her shampoo along with her natural scent. "I will be more cautious of my proximity with any other woman from now on." Alex was determined to make sure nothing like what happened today ever happened again. Whatever it would take, he would make sure to keep this promise. "Please don’t leave , my love. I don’t think I’ll be able to bear it."
Sara raised her head to look at her. Her tear stricken face shattering his heart. Her eyes still glistened with unscheduled tears.
Sara didn’t know why she cried so much when she had promised not to cry for any man. Or why it only happened when she was in his arms, but right now, she didn’t care anymore. She t his gaze, not caring how she looked right now. However pitiful she may be, he had seen her at her worst already.
She opened her mouth to speak, but only one word found its way out, "Then...?"
Alex didn’t reply imdiately. Instead, he took his ti to wipe away her tears with his thumbs and then kissed her forehead. "This is our first eting. I don’t know how, but I do know why she is here," he receded, and she blinked, waiting for him to clarify. "She is here for you."
