A Tale of two Hearts | Vera Bonny

I held the glass in my hands and kept starring at it, too scared to look up. He slowly collected the glass and gently laid it on the floor. Held my chin in his hands and locked his lips with mine, I can’t remember how but I wrapped my hands round his neck and drew him closer, too scared to let go. He kissed me deeper till I felt light headed and dizzy, I wanted more but he gently unlocked his lips from mine and held me tight

I tried to free myself and find his lips again, but he wouldn’t let me. Finally, I gave up and sat still, I think we both didn’t breathe for a few seconds. Then he dropped the bombshell on me, ‘I don’t want to hurt you’ he said, adding that he had a girlfriend who was studying abroad. I listed quietly then suddenly I felt sick and nauseated. I ran into the bathroom and bolted the door, sitting on the toilet seat I cried desperately in torrents.  He called out several times, but I kept mute.
