Chapter 48- Like A Fool
"Easy. Relax. I’m with you," he said gently and tightened his grip around her waist. It was the only chance he could touch her.
She would never allow it otherwise, but this was the chance given to him by fate and he wanted to avail it.
Holding his shirt in her fists, she raised her face to look into his green eyes. Those green orbs were already staring at her.
"Th... the ...l... lift..." her voice trembled a little.
"Don’t worry. It’ll be fixed today. Nothing will happen to you. I won’t let anything happen to you," She didn’t realize what he said and how soft his voice was.
While his eyes were on her face, she was looking around her, maybe fearing a free fall. She didn’t want to die this soon.
Her babies needed her.
Rafael stopped himself from cursing under his breath when the lift stopped on his floor. He regretted that his floor was not high enough to give him some more time to hold her.
The moment the elevator’s doors opened, she quickly got out of his grip and exited the lift, leaving him there.
Staying inside he kept trying to control his speeding heartbeat. He gazed down at his jacket which had now gotten a few wrinkles due to holding her tightly.
I wish... I wish... I have believed you at that time. Then maybe ... today, I might have stopped this elevator and made love to you here.
