my own.
“Are you sure about that?” I scoffed trying to forget my earlier thought but it is so hard when she is angry. In fact, I want her more. I want nothing to separate us.
No! “Yes!”
I heard her inward answer. Awesome! “If that is your decision.”
Her inner thoughts questioned my current motives.
My body would explode if I didn’t move away from her soon and scaring her with the knowledge of it wouldn’t fare well.
I cleaned up all of the spread and stood clasping the bag closed, then reached for her hand. She stared at it for a time and thought about not wanting to leave me. I didn’t know if she meant to put the ring in her pocket earlier and leave it there, but she was letting me in just a little more. I hoped she meant to.
My arm slid around her waist making me think thoughts that still needed to remain hidden, starved , stifled for now. We ascended into the night sky.
Chapter Thirteen
Her room was cold and void of what was to come. Emptiness loomed in its walls knowing she would be gone from it in just hours. I didn’t care where she wanted to stay, if she would just stay.
With her back to me at her doorway, she tensely urged, “I still don’t understand why you brought me here really, but I can’t say to anyone that I was tortured and miserable. I will hopefully appreciate the gesture when I find out more of what happened at the school when I see that everyone is okay and alive."
She was torn. That I could deal with at least. “I want you…to know that I will be here…if you need anything.”
She held the door for support. Her fingers turned white with the grip she held on the doorknob. Then...she turned to me and touched my face. On her own accord. My fists were balled. I heard her try to puzzle out my reaction to it. She didn’t know that my body was having all kinds of turmoil that somehow had a mind of its own. Keeping it at bay was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
Was he trying to avoid me? Perhaps keep from getting hurt? “I don’t know what I think,” she animated her words with her hands like she sometimes does.
Gaining control of my urges, I put my own hand on her face covering most of the left side, and we both stood there staring with our hands on each other.
This was it. She was going to let me kiss her again. Lips only. My body was urging for more. She didn’t even close her teary green eyes. I knew from her emotions she wasn’t upset, just the opposite.
How could this one person be so intensely affecting me right now? she asked herself.
I reached behind her neck now reenacting the kiss from before, but this one was all new. I inhaled deeply and she met my steady gaze. How is that you affect me so? I returned her own sentiment.
I had to leave before I went too far. I wanted to go too far. She needed space.
She took a cold shower. Her intake of breath at the first it hit her skin made me close the connection to give her privacy, but I couldn’t help but listen in on some of her thoughtful decisions that might take place in her head. What could I do? I couldn’t stay. I had to return and find out how all this plays out.
Soon, I tuned her out and took my own shower. I had to give her alone time. Her mind was endless and full of a hidden hope, but so unreadable even as I invaded it. After I pulled on a pair of shorts and a shirt, I lay down on the bed to listen again clenching the bed sheets with anticipation for what I could only imagine. She was on the bed now. That much I could tell.
She thought about what Calum was doing tonight to prepare to come get her tomorrow. She wanted to understand Dr. Green and what her father were doing to make it all happen. Why she was here with me. And my own motives. How could she not see I was completely in love with her?
