Miss Daring ✔️

Chapter Twenty Five

"I missed you." He whispered stroking my face.

I leaned into his touch feeling his skin on mine. I was going to lie to him and say I hadn't missed him but my body was already speaking for me so I decided to be honest.

"I missed you too." I replied and before I could comprehend what was happening I was pulled into his embrace.

Now this was home, I thought to myself as I clutched the lapels of his white coat and clung to him inhaling his manly intoxicating scent.

"Why did you never reach out?" He asked his hands still around me.

"You never reached out yourself. It's not like I blocked you're number or anything." I replied and he pulled away.

Wait please a few more minutes, I begged mentally but I let him go physically as my hands dropped to my side.

"I was scared. I was so scared you'd reject me all over again so I stopped myself." He answered looking at me.

"I can understand that." I replied with a small smile on my face.

He had admitted to missing me just as I had missed him. Maybe there was hope after all. He smiled back at me and I noticed him looking at my lips then my eyes. He leaned in and I didn't move back or stop him. I wanted this as much as he did. I wanted to feel his lips on mine after three long years. Just before our lips touched the door flung open and a pair of heels clicked in and we pulled away.

Lady luck why today of all days?

"Gabriel darling you ready to go?" A soft voice asked behind him and he stepped aside revealing a very beautiful lady him next to his desk.

She was wearing a red maxi dress with slits on both sides reaching her thighs, white heels to match the white blazer wrapped around her shoulders and her small white clutch. Her hair and make up was perfect. She was taller than me with dark skin and pretty brown eyes. Coming from me,this lady was gorgeous and she had called Gabriel darling. What the fuck was going on?

"Yeah just a moment." He said turning to her before turning to look at me. "Can we talk?" He asked pleadingly.

I looked at him and back at the smiling lady in the room and felt out of place. What was I about to do? This lady was clearly here for Gabriel and from the way she looked at him meant she was interested in him. Maybe she was his girlfriend. Oh God! I had almost kissed another man's girlfriend. Nia get out of here. I yelled at myself.

"I'll just be going now. Thanks for your help." I replied raising my bandaged hand.

I jumped off the long bed and wobbled for a while before I composed myself and supported myself with the bed before Gabriel could help me. I quickly put on my shoes with a little struggle but I finally managed.

"Gabriel we are going to be late for our date if we don't leave now." The lady commented and I felt a stab to my heart.

"A few more minutes and we'll go." He replied.

A date with another girl. Who was I to feel hurt anyway? I was the one who had left him so I had no right to judge him for moving on. He deserved that much.

I grabbed my clutch from the desk and the picture frames caught my eye again. One was of Gabriel and his family, the other one of him and the guys and the other one was of Gabriel holding a sleeping female in his hands. I couldn't see her face or her body because she was covered in a duvet and her face hidden in the crook of his neck and her hair covering the rest of it. He really had moved on. I bet the lady in the picture was of the lady in the office. I need to leave.

"You guys have a fun night. Thanks again Doctor."

"Thank you and we will." She gushed holding his bicep and looking perfect next to him.

I gave Gabriel one last look and walked out of there. He looked like he wanted to chase after me but he didn't. Why? Because he already has someone else to stand next to him and go on dates with.

It was dark when I walked out of the clinic meaning I had been unconscious for the better part of the day. I unlocked my car and got in quickly. I put my hands on the steering wheel and laid my head on it. Something felt wrong and when I looked up to inspect further I noticed that my ring was gone. Gabriel must have taken it off to treat my wound but and now I didn't have it anymore.

Maybe it was for the best that he took it. Maybe now I could finally move on without any physical attachments to him and because I had finally seen him and found out that he had moved on. Maybe that was the push I needed to finally get over Gabriel for good.

But who was I kidding? It had been three years. There is no way I could move on just because I saw him with someone else. I imagined him with other women all the time in my head and never forgot him. This may have been in person but even I knew I couldn't move on.

I needed a drink. Fuck. I couldn't because the doctor said so. Junk food and movies it is then. I thought as I started the car and drove off. Whatever it takes to get Gabriel and the lady in the office out of my head. This was like little miss sundress all over again, only this time Gabriel was not my boyfriend and he could do whatever he wanted. The heartache that thought brought was unbearable. I don't know if junk food and chocolate would cure this but it was the only option I had.
