Always You

Chapter 16 | Breakup

Got so engrossed in writing the 23rd chapter that I didn't realise it was past 3 😅.
Anyway, enjoy!

✨ Sorin's POV ✨

What the fuck am I doing?!

This is wrong. This will be considered cheating and I can't do this to Harlow. She doesn't deserve this.

But my heart doesn't seem to beat for Harlow anymore like it used to. It's in chaos at the moment.

I told Harlow that even if I get married, I won't betray her and here I am doing exactly what I promised not to.

Yes, I lust over Drea but that's not it. It goes deeper than that, my feelings for her.

The first time my heart was drawn towards her was the day she stood near the glass door leading to the backyard and waving awkwardly to the children. She looked so fucking cute. And how gently and nicely she was with the kids specially Vanessa.

Harlow doesn't like kids. I am not judging her; it's okay if she doesn't like them. Everyone has their own choices. However, I love kids and seeing Drea love them too was a beautiful sight.

She is gentle, kind, innocent, cute and fucking beautiful. My heart starts to beat faster every time I look at her, everytime I hear her speak while stuttering, see her looking so innocent.

I need to make a decision. It's now or never. It's either Drea or Harlow.

I am not the kind of person to stay in denial about my feelings. If I want someone, I want them. End of the argument. And I want her physically and especially emotionally.

(A/N: Enough with those 'I am going to stay in denial about my feelings until she is dying' male leads.)

I turned my head to my left to see Drea sleeping peacefully facing me, a strand of hair fall over her face, her mouth slightly parted. A smile instantly formed on my face on seeing her.

Shifting closer, I tucked the strand of hair behind her ear so that I could see her face clearly. I couldn't control myself as I brushed my knuckles over her cheeks, completely mesmerized by her.

That caused her to scrunch up her nose and her lips formed a pout as if I was disturbing her sleep.

My eyes flickered down to her plump lips, the urge to kiss her overpowering me and I ran my thumb over her lower lip.

She's a light sleeper, I thought as she groaned softly so I removed my hand from her.

I couldn't bring myself to look away from her, so I stared at her. Some time later, her hand slowly started to extend towards me as if searching for something.

Unconsciously, her fingers brushed against the side of my chest and then against my arm which was resting on the bed next to her and my heart skipped a beat.

Her hand lingered near mine and then she gripped it firmly, shifting closer to me trying to cuddle most probably.

Ah, fuck it!

Removing her hand from over mine, I pulled her closer to me and wrapped my arm around her waist and she buried her face in my chest, her arm going around my body. My heart quickening its speed.

I pressed a kiss to the top of her head and rested my chin there, closing my eyes only to fall in a peaceful sleep.
