My Mafia Man

09

I held myself and turned away.

"God. You've seen me naked." I said facepalming with a blush.

"I have. And quite frankly, you're very beautiful. Also know that it really only happened by accident and that I'm the only one who has seen you, alright?" Dae-hyun tried to reassure me.

"I don't know how much better that makes it." I said shifting sort of uncomfortably.

"But basically, you're a stalker." I said turning to him again.

He looked at me then looked away.

"Technically." He said shamefully.

"Got it. I'm buying some curtains." I said with a nod.

Dae-hyun let out a chuckle.

"Yes, that might be for the better." Dae-hyun admitted.

"So that explains why you knew about what I used, but I'm still not too sure what I'm doing here. I mean I might have an idea but I'm not sure." I admitted looking at Dae-hyun.

"Right we'll Tosha, you're here because I love you. I've always loved you and to be honest I missed you. Dearly.
Finally speaking to you again is just so astonishing. I missed your little quirks. I missed how when in the morning you're grumpy if you haven't eaten. I missed when you were thinking and would bite your lips and tap your pen. I missed that little glow in your eye when you'd talk about your favorite show or about a book you'd just read. I missed all the little tired conversations we'd have when you didn't get enough sleep the night before. I missed you Tosha. I missed you so much, I don't know if you know how much." Dae-hyun finished.

I was happy to hear this but still wasn't sure about what I felt.

"I do have an idea of how much you missed me. I think it's about the same as how much I missed you. 3 weeks after you disappeared, I was so sad. No one knew where you had gone. I missed you probably just as much as you missed me. Everything just felt like it was crumbling to pieces after you left. Nothing felt right. It took me maybe a years to feel normal again. I felt empty without you there. I loved you back then like you wouldn't believe so when you left I was heartbroken and-" I began to tell.

Dae-hyun stared wide-eyed when I said I had loved him, and took my cheek in his hand. And leaned closer.

"Please, please can I kiss you?" Dae-hyun asked swiftly.

I looked at him confused for a moment not realizing what I had said. It clicked as he stared longingly. I hesitantly nodded my head. With no time wasted he put his other hand on my cheek and kissed me passionately. All the affection he held for me over the years spilled out into this kiss. When people say fireworks went off or sparks flew I had never understood what they were talking about, until now. It was mesmerizing. Anything I was thinking left my brain and everything surrounding us seemed to disappear. His lips felt right against mine, they felt warm and silky like nothing I've ever known. I melted and my body felt limp, knowing I was safe with him, and that I'd be protected at all costs. We slowly separated from one another. I blinked slowly with half lidded eyes. I felt euphoric. Everything looked brighter and the world seemed happier. Like all was right with the world. And I realize that I really do still love him. But I need to get to know him. And I mean the real him. If he asked me to be his girlfriend again I don't know if I could say no. Dae-hyun's hand still layed on my cheek as we stared into one another's eyes once more.

"Dae-hyun?" I said, wanting to tell him.

"Yes my Beloved?" Dae-hyun said with a smile as he brushed his fingers through my hair.

"I love you." I said without thinking.

Dae-hyun stopped his hand and his breath hitched in his throat. He seemed to have to cough out his next words.
