Chapter 156: Too Much {1}
My breathing ceased but at the same time, I emitted a sharp exhale, my heart pulsing in my chest and the mark on my left breast matched the same rhythm with my heart. My neck was aching from the prolonged stare we shared but I didn’t wanna look away, he just remained there and so did I, not an ounce of space between us, and yet our bodies didn’t touch, just there in yet another staring contest. I wanted him to touch my skin even if it was just holding or anything, I have just been desperate ever since I saw him.
I felt like my chest might explode from all the need that was littering off me, this was different, far different than whenever I was in the same room with him, like the burning flame was ignited in a thousand waves, it was super strong, it was... my chest rose and fell heavily, getting harder to control.
"Your hair" he finally spoke and fuck his voice only made it worse... I felt like I could dance in its tones right now, it sounded sweeter than it was, strong, powerful and my body was shrieking at just simple words, I felt like crashing.
"This is the first time I have seen it in a ponytail" he ran his hand through it, just a feel of my hair felt like he was touching me directly, and I hummed as he ran his finger through it, I felt his hold at the strap holding my hair and I felt it lose. My hair fell like a blanket behind me, I noticed as his glittering hazels followed every move of my hair as it set loose from my bun. Almost like he was fascinated by how it moved, I noticed his eyes smearing further as he watched my hair.
And then it hit me... this was the first time Dace has seen my hair let down.
"Beautiful" he mumbled and his eyes twinkled in interest and wonder, by his words my fingers tingle and the butterflies increased in my stomach.
I closed my eyes when he continued to run his hand through my hair, it was smooching, and mighty and I didn’t want him to stop.
"How do you feel, baby?"
At his question I flicked my eyes open and met his curious hazels on me, they hauled me in further and I was lost to his eyes, they were so gorgeous.
"I feel..." I began in a very fuzzy tone and I could barely hear myself but I knew he did. "I-Its..." I stammered. How am I supposed to explain myself, how I felt right now for no words could describe, I could only use two words. "...too much" I confessed because that was exactly how it weighed right now, under his jittery gaze, the hundreds of feelings bombarding my body I can’t keep note of all of them.
"I know" he mumbled and then he leaned toward me, I was really hoping he would kiss me but what he said made my world spin. "This is exactly how I feel every single day with and without you... I almost lost my mind being apart from you" he spoke as if he was trying to reason with me, his hand on my hair moved and cupped my cheek, just a touch of his felt like fire and I felt hotter than I have ever been, his body heat was making me run on fire, I was burning!
