She Woke up and he was right there still sleeping after everything that had happened between them, her phone buzzed and she saw that she had a call from him, In a way she seemed guilty, she had stood him him up last night while still trying to answer the call she had making way to the toilet, another message came in.
This time it was from Laura, wasn't it a bit naive she thought while still trying to process everything -
It was harder to process the fact that while she had been fucking last night, she was right there with Christian, she stood right there in the middle of her room staring round at the spaces within, it wasn't the first time she founded herself in such situations looking confused, but at that moment, she didn't know what to do or how to react.
Well, at the moment her heart or whatever was left in her conscience was echoing heavily within her chest as she stared straight hard at the man before her still laying on the bed before walking away.
She didn't know what but she thought she needed a moment to herself, it was more difficult as she felt totally out of control as her mind was blank as it filled her with uncertainty.
Riley was much aware of the tension in the room and made way toward where she could have that bit of privacy.
"Oh, I'll be there soon."She still mutters over the phone.
"You'd be where."
Startled, she turned and saw the man right at the bed.
"You scared me."She mutters stepping past him."How long have you been there?"
"Long enough to hear everything."He spoke calmly.
The coffee machine beeped in the kitchen and she stepped past him, she stopped at that sink and filled two mugs.
She hands one to him and remains within her space locking gaze with him as he took the glass from her hands -
"Thank you."He muttered as he took the cup from her hands…
She stared at him for what seemed like a while, as she wondered what to say, she was glad that she didn't call Damien.
"You never really told me what happened
"he muttered.
She sighs and as she did for some reason she could feel that haze hovered around the room and all of a sudden as it was getting heated up, she stopped right there in her tracks and looked up at her while she was making her way to the room this time.
He walked faster till he was standing close to her, he grabbed her hands.
"What is wrong, you can't act this way when we both had a good time yesterday."
"I don't want to talk about it, I just want to be left alone."
The words hit him differently, it was obvious they bled differently, and at that moment he could sense that Unease
"Why?"
"You just have to forget."She muttered.
He knew deep in his soul that it was a very difficult thing for him to do, he can't just let it go cause she was asking that he should.
"Baby."He called her name and she looked up to his face.
"Don't you want this."Rhys muttered.
It was the first time he was letting himself look so vulnerable and it was because he loved the fucking woman.
"I do."
"You do?"
Riley nodded her head affirmatively, In what she thought was right to express her feelings..
She stood there weighing the thought in her mind,. it was obvious that he couldn't just tell her assumptions were based on what she thought.
"I just need time, I think you should go… I need some time alone."
He stalled for a minute looked at her before sighing.
"Would you call me later,"he muttered.
She felt bad letting him leave , it was easy to see that he loved her but she was letting him make fun of himself.
Soon after he was gone she had a quick bath- not to clean herself but to clear her head.
The hot water is heaven on her skin, beating down in every bit of the nerves left In her as she stepped out, all she wanted was that bit of calm to her soul and she felt it that moment.
She could feel an ache in lower stomach that had bloomed to fill every available space in her body, all she wanted was peace and when she thought she had that with Rhys it took one night with Damien to make her ask questions.
She could still feel the anger from everything that had happened for the past minute and felt furious, she dressed quickly and was out.
She could feel it-him-everywhere, and he wasn't even close. As she was getting into the cab her phone buzzed, Damien name popped up reminding he she was yet to return his call.
While she should have been filled with regret, seeing his phone there filled with a sweet satisfaction as the fact might as well see him soon.
Should she be feeling this way?
Riley…Thought to herself unable to get the thought out of her mind…
It took a while but they soon reached the moon still shining bright, as she made her way in.
She was right.
Damien Walked up to where she was looking worried."What happened?"He drew."You caused us quite a scare."
She looked around."And where is she ?"She asked. Laura
She stopped in the middle of the sidewalk with a smirk, deep within the nerves still vibrating in her veins and was slowly replaced with a feeling of uncertainty that turned relieved as Laura walked out of Ward.
"Sorry I came late."She mutters
Her gaze lifted to her as the woman neared her.
For some reason she didn't know she could sense a bit of Unease that was out of control.
"Is everything fine?"She asked Laura.
"It is Chris."Laura muttered as a tear trickled down.
