Chapter 157
Angel
A minute went by before Thea’s words finally sank into me. I sighed sharply and I shoved a lump to wet my dried throat. I chuckled feeling wordless. I was still trying to convince myself that this was real but no matter how much I thought about it, it just seemed too precious a gift to be real.
Undoubtedly, she was attracted to me but how was it that she felt for me the exact way I felt for her? I wanted to be happy, I’ve waited for this in what felt like forever.
That feeling of love, it went beyond what words could express. Was her definition different from mine or was it simply just possible that Thea was truly in love with me? How possible?
I peered into Thea’s eyes to see if there was a glint of uncertainty there but it was consistent. The way she looked at me mirrored how I knew I looked at her.
“How’s that possible?” I found myself uttering. She looked slightly confused for some seconds. The glint of confusion soon cleared in her eyes and she simply smiled, taking my hand in her’s. She weaved her fingers in mine and placed it on her chest.
“The same way it’s possible for you, a mafia don to be in love with me.” She said and in factual sense, it would be more impossible for me to fall in love than it would be for her, yet I believed it too good to happen to me. How on earth did heavens bless me with the gift of being loved by another human in such a way?
“Angel….” She called moving close to me. Her fingers reached for my face, the tip touching my skin in a sinful caress, causing a surge of sensation and an explosion of emotions within me. I lived for the way she looked at me, like I was all she ever wanted, like I was all that mattered and if I wasn’t too daring, like I was the most important person in her life.
I swallowed hard again trying to get a reality check. She had her mother who should always come first so why was I getting my hopes high? Maybe because with me, it was possible.
I loved my sister and mother dearly more than my own life but Thea…. I just can’t describe it.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
I’d rather be alone with her in this world than be with every other person. That was how deep I felt.
I loved her soul with everything I was made of.
My soul loved her soul.
Heavens! I took another deep sigh. Really words couldn’t describe this feeling.
I placed my hand over hers on my face and I stretched my other hand to wipe the tear off her face.
We were together alone at this rooftop with the chill breeze of night, the silence, the view and it felt like we were truly the only ones in the world. She was my world.
“I’m in love with you Angel.” She said again dragging every word for emphasis. She blinked out her tears and I felt a sting in my retina. Tears pooling. Goodness! Was I about to do that thing again? Cry? I exhaled deeply but my heart leaped so much for joy and my eyes welled up more. It was happening and I couldn’t stop it. Thea seemed to have noticed and she was in disbelieve.
“Your eyes are pooling.” She said and I just let myself feel free. Actually, that was how she made me feel. Free, vulnerable, Alive and complete.
“I’m not dreaming am I?” My voice came out deep and in a whisper.
She teared out more but it was a tear of joy and mine streamed down without restrain.
“You are everything to me Angel,” I looked at her keenly wanting more of that confession. “My world, my life, I’ve never felt this much love for anyone in my entire life.” More tears flowed and I couldn’t hold myself. I stepped forward, leaning into her. I brought my lips to hers and she parted them to welcome mine. Our lips bonded in fleeting seconds and like an explosion my entire being experienced a heightening of everything I had felt before and strangely I knew she felt it too.
It felt like a soul bonding, like my soul knew hers. Like we communicated even without words. I felt her heart reaching out to mine and it was the most magical thing ever. Real yet so unreal.
“There’s no one else for me Angel. I don’t know if I’m crazy, I don’t know if there’s even a thing as loving….” She broke of breaking out more in tears. “How does one fall in love with another’s soul? Even if you were simply air I’d still love you Angel. I… I don’t know how to describe it.
“Hey….” I whispered caressing her cheek. “It’s okay, I get you. I understand perfectly because it’s real with me. Whatever you’re feeling I feel it too. It’s deeper than any word could explain Thea. I love you so much with everything I have, I love you with every fiber of my being. I love you to my very core Thea.” I poured my heart, as much as I could in words even though it felt like I had said only an atom of what I truly felt.
“… And there’s no one else for me. It’s always going to be you Thea.”
We were both a crying mess. It was crazy how much tears this body held in. I’ve never felt so vulnerable with anyone not even with myself and yet she brought out that part of me.
“Let’s stay together against all odds. Would you go that road with me?” She asked and I chuckled within. I lived a rough life.
A dangerous and dark one. If anything, I should be the one worried that she wouldn’t take that path with me.
“Without a blink, I would go to the ends of the earth with you Thea.” I said and brushed a kiss over her lips which she sucked in. “Are you sure you want to do this with me? My lifestyle is dangerous and….”
“It’s my choice Angel. If you’re in danger then I want to go through it with you. Your rough days, your happy days I want to be all in it.”
“You’re not free, someday you’d need to face your mum. How can you make such a grave decision?” I knew this was our weak moment. My decision would remain the same no matter what but I wanted her to be sure in every situation.
“I’m sure of my feeling and what I want.”
“I believe you Thea but I won’t let you make that decision today. A time would come, the right time my love. Trust me on this please.” She nodded and I pulled her into my arms. We hugged each other basking in the warmth and surge of emotions that came with it.
We remained like that for long before slowly breaking the hug.
I took her hand and we strolled closer to the edge to take a look at the view below us.
It was the most precious night of my life. The absolute best with a perfect confession.
