Twenty seven

CHAPTER 27

GLENN

There is a saying that the heart beat in unison only when you are with your one and true mate, at that moment I felt he was everything —

He wasn't just my mate, he was the soul and everything else that forged my existence. It was crazy while I thought about the fact that he was human and I was, you know?

As his lips got closer, I could hear the pounding of our heart as it beat faster, with my eyelids close to his scent like an aura I was consumed by .

Must this man smell so good?

Diverse thoughts crept through my mind and just when I was about giving myself into the moment and being part of this one blissful experience all I felt was warm air on my face as he pulled away.

I looked up shocked, my face burning with the fact that I was absolutely embarrassed about the entire situation.

"What did you do that for?" I asked, sounding a bit pissed.

He had a smirk on his face all this while, and the broader it became the more I felt ridiculed till a puzzled look formed over his face.

"Wait, are you angry?" He looked at me surprised as though that was the most embarrassing thing anyone had done.

I heard his voice only in whispers , yet my my heart was drowned in everybit of them.

Listening I could hear it echoing…Bu-bum. Bu-bum. Bu-bum.

Each sound a reminder of the moment that I thought would have lasted forever each sounded beneath a cold sheen of anxiety and expectations that might never be fulfilled.

I was lost in thoughts, the cold in my veins froze till they were like ice at least not until Santiago's voice cut through the waves at which my heart was beating at.

It was low and smooth, almost as the waves of a gentle sea without a troubling storm.

"You are yet to reply my question."

“I have nothing to say, you have Martha anyways. ” The word's fell out of my lips leaving a space behind, more so aaftwr I had called out that name.

A part of my soul questioned the manner and approach I was taking to all of this , at this point I wished perhaps my heart had chosen to love differently.

At that moment , I could feel my lungs constricting deep in my chest, but I didn’t move a muscle as I stared at his face wimdieiemi how he was going to reply to the assumed allegations.

“Glenn!” He said with a bit of excitement. "Are you jealous."

I swallowed the lump that had forged in my throat.

Jealous?. The word's had a different feeling when he said them, and it was hard to tell why .

Yet I could feel the word's echo in my head over and over again.

I glanced at him, only find out he was looking right back at me, his eyes filled with intent like he was enjoying each and every expression that cane from my face.

"Jealous?" I repeated the words as though they sounded absurd. "Why do you think I am jealous, there is no way I can be ." I muttered then shrugged.

“You’re a poor at telling lies had anyone every told you that." He muttered.

"We both know you are acting this way because she showed up." He said with a smirk.

I could feel his voice vibrate against my back the moment he said them, and it left me wondering if he was right.

Before I could reply he took two space's covering the space that was between us, I didn't want to ridiculed and embarrassed all over again so I took a space back and bumped into the island.

"Don't do this?" I muttered closing my eyes hoping that perhaps I would cut off anything that was in his mind at that moment.

"Do what?" He askes with a look on his face and as him daring me took covered the space.

Now, I was stuck between the island and his heated skin and there was nothing much I could do about it .

"Do what?" He repeated. This time his word's carried a calmness with a hint of

uncertainty.

One second, two seconds. I was hesitating to speak—

"Fine." I threw my hands I the air frustrated as something crawled through my bloodstream. My ears rang as I was drown in the echoes of my heartbeat all over again as my arm fell from me. "I feel you are just using me, you know… You are leading me on. "

"What?" He sounded shocked.

The sound of his oice replayed in my mind,as the impact of his word's were echoing in my head again, and again.

"Is that all you see when you look at me, do you see me as an evil and manipulative person that would do such?" He asked.

" I don't know what to think. " I muttered turning my back as I couldn't bare to look at the expression on his face.

All I felt through was silence, neither of us said a word.

Numbness flooded me. Sounds rushed in, like I was soaked right In water and was held down with heavy chains, with my soul ripping wet.

“Why would you think of me that way, have I ever done anything to warrant that? "

Pain struck my chest and I could feel it slipping down slowly, I bit my lips still noy having the courage to face him.

"Maybe you don't me enough then." He muttered, his emotions evidence in his voice as he walked away.

I listened to the sound his foot steps down the hall as he left as It took a moment for his words to process and to realize that Infact I was still there standing stiffly in that position unable to move.

I turned to the glassed window and could see my heavy, unreadable gaze that reflected on my skin as I stared at myself.

I dropped my hands to either side of the table to support myself.

"What have you done Glenn?" I asked myself.
