Chapter 253: His Scent
I turned back to the view of the room the moment she was gone. My heart fluttered as my eyes feasted upon the room that reminds me of him, it felt like his presence was actually here. The warmth radiating here was almost impossible, it was so real but I knew it was just my brain trying to recognize the fact that he had been here and walked this very place I stood and I just wanted closure from it as much as I can or else I will go insane.
I wanted to drench my very body and soul in his scent so I walked around ... feeling my hand in every inch of the room, closing my eyes, and allowing his scent to flood my senses as well as spread on my body, I wanted more of it and I couldn’t help it like I was coming down in some really powerful drugs and I wanted a sniff of it again to take me to cloud 9.
So I stopped at his wardrobe. I slid it open, it wasn’t a walk-in like the other but this was pretty big with drawers with his folded jeans and other things. I reached for his shirt on the hanger and grabbed it while pulling it out. I brought it to my nose and took a deep whiff of it, and sighed, closing my eyes allowing my senses to dive in further deep into it. I just kept sniffing and sniffing, taking in a deep breath like I just scented an eternal perfume plastered on my nose. I looked like a damn dog right now but I didn’t care.
And for a funny reason sniffing his scent got me hungry, hungry for what I don’t know, all I knew was I didn’t wanna take my nose off this for I will break again, it will remind me of the loneliness and I didn’t want that.
His scent was celestial, it felt like forever since I last took a whiff of it. It soothe me and brought me warmth from the cold, I buried my face into it and pictured he was here with me... Behind me, as he slowly walked up to me and then placed his hand on my waist and whispered something to my ear, his warm breath blowing against my ear and my cheek I just loved the warmth it gave me.
"Dace" I moaned as I opened my eyes and looked behind me hoping to see him but I met with an empty room.
My features saddened further and that heavy weight on my chest was back again.

I took a hot shower, making sure I bathed myself in his shampoo, I sighed deeply loving the smell of it. I hissed when the water and the soap got to where Dace hurt me. I checked it... wasn’t deep but it was definitely gonna leave a mark.
When I was done I walked to his wardrobe, I spotted the clothes Emilia kept for me when she came back but I only just grabbed the sweatpants and took one of Dace’s cardigans and put them on. Before walking to the bed and lying on it, coiling myself in a ball as I pulled my knees to my chest and closed my eyes.
Even in the darkness, all I see is him.
