Chapter 83: Cold Shoulder
With every step, my heart felt like leaping off my chest and my body felt like losing balance, but I stayed on my feet until I reached the curtain and zapped it open.
I was right! The door is still here.
I swallowed a lump in my throat before grabbing the door handle and to my surprise it opened freely without me using any of my strength and I was thankful. With my beating heart, I walked through the doors and it slammed shut behind me.
I came in view of the familiar stream, shiny... the water spilling from the rocks, the green grasses around it, curving around the round stream and then up ahead, the snow season, always a beautiful sight. And the moon was at its highest, full, and shone on it making it more magical.
But what rivaled the ravishing view and stood out in splendor causing a flutter in my heart was William standing in the stream with his back facing me.
My lips parted as I took in the grandiose view, his long silver hair was wet and stuck to his wet body, I gulped assessing every droplet of water that caress his calloused pale skin and my cheeks reddened when I leveled down and noticed his naked godly body.
gods... if it wasn’t for the water covering his lower side I would have passed out. I felt my heart heavy taking in everything and the longing in my chest depleting.
It’s been months... I felt like a starved being but now finally full as my eyes feasted upon the man that makes my heart beat like a battle, makes my palms sweaty, makes my nerves spike, makes me feel alive even though I felt dead moments ago. He doesn’t need to try and yet my world revolves around him...
Not caring and abandoning any sense of reasoning I stepped into the water and my gown drenched instantly, I hissed as the cold kissed my skin, the water was so cold! I shivered and raised my gaze to William who hadn’t moved an inch from his spot or acknowledged my presence.
Does he not know I’m here?
I eyed his back perplexed, my heart battered in my chest as I walked closer to him, the water cruising as I did, that was enough to tell him someone was behind him but he made no attempts to turn, just stood like a statue.
