Chapter 164 She Is My Need, Part 1.2

Her eyes change.

“I was still living with them… Because it was the only thing I had of you?

Flowered my voice

“It was my way of filling the void.”

I stare at her.

“I waited for you.”

The silence that follows… It’s heavy.

“The morning you left- I thought you were going to come back.”

I close my eyes for a second.

“I confided in myself.”

“I said-” “She’s going to come back.”

A bitter laugh escapes me.

“But you didn’t.”

I open my eyes.

“Two damn years… without knowing about you.”

I breathe.

“I tried to forget you… ignoring everything that had to do with you.”

I look at her with shame.

“Because I knew there was no return.”

She is silent for a few seconds, then asks.

“Then why didn’t you do something on the day of the divorce?”

I swallow hard.

“Because you didn’t come back.”

The answer comes out without a filter.

“I felt… annoying.”

I clench my jaw.

“Pride won me, ego won me.”

“I was stupid”

I exhale.

“A coward”

Silence sets in, but it is not uncomfortable. It is… necessary.

She sighs and then… I gently shake my head.

“But let’s not talk about that.”

My tone changes, softer, more present.

“I don’t want to stay where we were.”

I look at her.

“I want to talk about now.”

I get a little closer, I raise my hand carefully. I pull a strand of hair away from her face, place it behind her

ear.

The friction… It is minimal, but enough. Because as soon as my fingers touch her skin… Something in me

I slide my fingers slowly down her neck, her skin is warm, soft.

I continue towards her collarbone.

“The hardest part…” I murmured, “might be the desire.”

I looked at her.

“To desire you… the way I desire you.”

She doesn’t answer, but her eyes… they talk. I raise my hand to her cheek, I encompass her completely.

I pull her a little closer to me, and kiss her. This time… It’s not soft. Not quite… It’s deeper.

That kiss was more charged, more… real. And at that moment I understand it with a clarity that hurts.

Here’s the difference, because kissing her… It has something that doesn’t exist in anyone

Intensity, truth, necessity.

else.

I continue the kiss, it deepens. My hand goes down her arm… to her back.
