Love Story6 - Chapter 11
But I didn't reciprocate his kiss, In the end, I gently pushed him away.
"Darius, I'm sorry."
"Why are you saying sorry?"
He looked down at me, his eyes slightly red.
"It's my own problem."
I avoided his gaze: "I don't want to be in a relationship again."
"Then what have these days between us been?"
Darius gripped my shoulders, his voice trembling: "Everly, what am I to you?"
I clenched my fists tightly, taking a deep breath: "Let's just say we were mutually fulfilling each other's needs..."
"If you're willing, we can continue this kind of relationship."
"If you meet someone you like, you can end it anytime."
"What kind of relationship? A tool to satisfy physical needs?"
"You can think of it that way." I refused to look up at him, afraid I might burst into tears.
"Darius, I'm very sorry... if this arrangement makes you uncomfortable, I'll leave Paris immediately, I swear I'll never bother you again..."
"Everly."
Darius's eyes were completely red. He let go of his hands and slowly took a step back, He seemed to be smiling, but that smile was broken: "Everly, you can't do this to me."
