“It’s not what I want…” He said, holding both my arms with his hands after hesitating. I stuck in the place where I stood; I’ve forgotten when was the last time he holds me suddenly like this. My heart beat fast. I never realized I would see him this fast, after a night we spent last time. I didn’t want to see his face. I’m scared that my betraying tears will fell and broke my defense. I didn’t want him to know I’m crying. He deserves better than me.
“Please… Don’t ever hate me.” His voice whispered next to my ear, shaking. “I… can’t bear everything”
I kept silent. His hands now slowly moved around my neck, hanged in front of my chest. Smelling the scent of my hair, as if trying to remember, how it was smell last time.
I still stood there, as stiff as a stone. With him, next to me, holding me, I didn’t know what to do. Should I run away? We both know this forbidden love couldn’t stand much longer, but we’d been craving for each other and raving each other name. You and me, belong to be together. If he ever stops loving me, I might torn apart and bleed to death. I’ve loved him so much that it hurts.
He turned me around to face him. I didn’t even realize my tears had fall down on my cheek. I still put my head down; I can’t bear seeing neither his face nor his hypnotizing eyes.
Slowly he dragged my chin up, watching me with his usual indescribable expression, the one that make me wonder what he thinks, what he wants, and made me observe him for hours while he was holding my gaze. I hold and closed my eyes, kept still. I didn’t want any regretting for his mean attitude that might come later on. My tears still fell down; my heart just hurts so badly. Was it because he was here, where I want him to be… or was it because I know that he wouldn’t stay here for long? I don’t know.
His hand was shaking as his finger slowly touched my face. Hesitating, his fingers caressed each curve of my face, and softly erased my tears on my cheeks. I shivered; I’ve forgotten how his touches feel. Start with a hesitation; end with softness.
He drowned my cheek in his palm, feeling my skin as much as possible. Finally I couldn’t stand much longer, the temptation was so strong, his passion and his affection next to me. I put my right hand on top of his. Feeling the closeness of his touch. I’ve missed him so much that I have forgotten how it feels.
“I’m sorry,” he muttered. I wasn’t sure what he said; it was so low and heavy. I looked up to him, as I wonder whether he would say it again. Then his face came closer in just a flash, his soft lips touch my lips. Locking it between his lips.
Again I drowned in his hypnotizing closeness. In his passion, that had turn into my temptation. I could feel how sweet his tongue could be when he kissed me. As if nothing else existed. We’re drowning in the world of our own. His hands now locked me safely in his unbreakable hug. My hands seemed didn’t want to lose and soon enough had been caressing his cheeks, his hair, and face. Both of us seemed didn’t want to let go, this might be our real last time kiss; I love how his scent make me blur and crazy.
Finally I put my hand on his chest and push him away right when I felt it’s enough. I laughed, looking at him. His hypnotizing eyes, his soft white skin, and his spike-y black hair. I couldn’t observe him more. He’s just getting more perfect as I observed him more. “I can’t breath,” I muttered.
He looked blurring before he smiled. “I’m sorry, but I like it when I know I could kill you,” Then lightly he kissed me again.
“I’m so sorry,” he said to me, still holding me close in his hug, seemed to forget what we’d been doing. “I shouldn’t have to be…”
“Shush…” I whispered. Holding my finger to his lips. When he was nervous like this, he wouldn’t stop saying all the things all over again. Beside I didn’t want him to ruin this moment by making me crying again. Let this tingle connection hang somewhere, soon if I have time, I promise I’ll straighten it again.
“Shut up, handsome…” I whispered as I kissed his cheek. He used to be as tall as me, and kissing his cheek didn’t need me to get up so high like now.
“Okay…” His voice muttered, blushing. Then he held me again and whispered something in my ear that made my tears fell down warmly. I hold him tighter and promise myself not to let him go away from my heart ever again.

We sat down and started to talk about all kind of bullshit and pushing our lucks. The kind of bluff I miss from him. The kind of laughed I miss from him.
“Promise??” I asked him, while laughing. “You swear?” I showed him my pinky finger to make him promise me.
He made a pinky swear and sweetly reminding me, “Whom would I promise more than the one I love?”
I kept silent. Astonished by his voice when he said that. It’s been a long time he never promised or said such a word to me. Now that we didn’t have any kind of commitment, I never expected he would say such a word to me. I almost crying again when he said that, he could find out that I’m going to cry again.
“Please don’t cry,” he said, touching both my shoulders, panic. The same thing he did when we just made this sweet connection. I laughed.
“I’m okay…”

I found myself waking up by a vibration near my head. I opened my eyes. What had happened to me? Soon I realized I woke up on his lap. His hand caressed my hair, and made it into small-small tingle. His face was on top of me watching me full of love.
He smiled, figured out I woke up. I got up and found myself blushing. I’d never expected he would still be here, stay with me. I thought that he would just gone, living me alone like he had done.
“You still here?” My voice sounded surprise and sarcastic in the same time.
“Will always be.” He laughed to his own joke.
“…” I kept silent and watching him.
“I always around you, protecting you. Whether I’m there or not, I would always keep an eye on you, promise.” The same exact word again. I didn’t know what to say.
I hold him close, he touched my waist and hold me back, again whispering something. As we separated, both of us slowly get closer and again kiss each other passionately. Locking each other lips.
His phone vibrated. I know what was that mean. He had to go. I held him for the last time, and whispered on his ear. “Go! Nothing will change, and I will never can hate you.”
He smiled and pleased with my words.
He walked backward, away from me, still holding my gaze. His lips turned into a small curve, before he finally run.
I let my tears fell down as I smiled. Nothing will change the ways we felt, I’m sure.
