Part Two~
Bela lifted the towel to wrap around her body, tightened it around her chest and pushed her hair away from her chest, Mahir had left about an hour ago, claiming he had to attend a meeting but he couldn't even look her in the eye, it had been the most he had spoken to her all day, now it was past midnight and he was yet to return home. She knew that he was able to look after himself, that soon he would be back, yet still she worried, an uncomfortable feeling was fast to take over, what if he was with another woman? Sighing she decided to just be patient, opening the door she stilled "Mahir, you" her cheeks reddened, suddenly remembering her blatant state of undress
"Bela" he walked forward, falling slightly to the side as he did, the stench of alcohol strong on his breath as he neared her, he rested his hands on her waist then pushed her into the wall, nose running across her cheek as he inhaled "You smell so good" Mahir groaned against her, then peppered kisses atop the line of her towel making her gasp
"Mahir" she gulped "We shouldn't, we shouldn't do this" she breathed out, trying and failing to control her voice, so caught up in the scent of his woodsy aftershave and the alcohol and just how good it felt to have his lips on her skin once again
"Why"? His voice was throaty "Don't you want me anymore"?
"I do, you know I do, it's just" her eyes squeezed shut when he lifted her into his arms so her legs wrapped around his waist "I don't want you to regret this"
"Like I could ever regret you" he scoffed, hand going to her hair, tugging at it while kissing across her collar bone "You're so beautiful, god i've missed you" The sensation of his stubble against her throat made her whole body tremble, her pulse rate was high as she moaned out his name, tugging his head back she kissed him on the lips, biting into his lower lip and losing herself in him
"Mahir, I"
"Shh" he rested a finger on her lips "You talk too much"
"Mahir, you've been drinking, if it's because of me then I don't think this is a good idea"
Mahir placed her down "Fine" he stumbled back against the bannister of the staircase "Didn't want you anyway"
"Mahir" she was astounded "Let me help you"
"NO" he pulled his arm from her hold "Don't touch me, I had to do this alone when you weren't here, i'm used to it" he opened his bedroom door and sat on his bed, minutes later Bela followed him, this time dressed in a purple silk nightgown, one he recalled buying for her
Bending down before him she took of his shoes then helped him take off his jacket "Why are you doing this to yourself"? She cupped his cheek "Don't do this because of me" she pleaded
"Not everything is because of you" he spat viciously
"But this is" Bela helped him lie down "And i'm sorry, i'm so sorry Mahir" her wet hair dropped beads of water on his cheek as she stepped away from him
"What did he have that I didn't"? He swallowed dryly, the lump in his throat made it almost painful to talk as tears burnt his eyes once again "If it was the money you wanted all you had to do was ask, I would have gave it, I would have gave you everything" a broken sob made his chest ache "I loved you Bela, why couldn't you have picked me"?
Her heart clenched seeing him in so much pain, lowering her body so she was sat on her knees she ran her hand through his hair as his cries became quieter "It wasn't what it looked like Mahir, I swear I never meant to hurt you"
"Well you did" he pouted "But you can fix it right, you can fix me Bela, please" he grasped her hand only for his eyes to shut, the last words he murmrured being her name over and over again until he fell asleep
[~~~]
Mahir awoke to see Bela with her head resting on her arm, his hand holding hers tightly as she slept. She looked calm and peaceful, not like the horrible woman who had broken his heart, instead she looked like an angel sent to save him, but looks were deceiving and there was nothing pure about her, she was sent straight from the devil himself. "Get up" yanking his hand back he sat up and massaged his forehead "Don't ever enter this room again"
"But, you-"
"I said get out, you aren't wanted here"
"Right" Bela stood up, eyes on the floor "Sorry" she whispered then ran out of the room
"Sorry isn't good enough" he shouted back, sorry was just a word, a word that would never be able to fix the mess she had made, standing up he grabbed a change of clothes and walked to the bathroom aimlessly, yet another day where he would have to look her in the eye and try and hide all he felt, it became a harder task to fulfil each day. How did you look at the person you loved, the person you wanted to spend your life with and pretend you hated them. Life would be easier if he truly did dislike her, but then he would catch her glancing at him and his head would be filled with memories of what used to be, and once upon a time she was the woman he was devoted to.
I am so, so sorry for the immense wait, I got so busy and then had other stories to upload, anyway another update is on its way but for now, thank you for your patience. I hope the wait was worth it, x
