Chapter 41
Ector
I see Genevieve coming closer to me, her eyes still full of tears.
“What happened to you?” I ask, feeling worried as I notice all the blood and small cuts over her face.
“All that needed to happen.” She cries out before taking a steady grip on my hoodie and dragging my body closer to hers, placing a deep kiss on my lips. Her arms wrapped around the back of my neck, my hands settling around her waist.
“I love you.” I say, unable to keep the words in any longer, life is too short to keep such secrets.
“I love you too, Ector.” Her soft voice speaks, the way she says my name makes me fold in an instant.
I press my lips to hers again and kiss her in an instant while pulling her body close.
A familiar tingle washes over me as her lips meet mine, the same feeling I felt the first time kissing her.
It makes the whole of me disappear into another realm, one that could easily lure me in and keep me forever.
And the realm was her heart.
I had already fallen like never before, and for the first time, it was a fall that felt safe. It wasn’t a dangerous fall, it was a fall that would make me beg for more, for the magic to last for forever.
It was her, the way I drowned in her eyes confirmed it. She was the love of my life after all. She saved me in every way that a person could be saved.
Genevieve Heart.
“Let’s go home.” I said, looking into her magical eyes.
“But your sister...” I hated the doubtful tone in her voice.
“I’m sure I’ll find her again when the time is right. Right now, all I need, all I want, is you.”
Taking her hand into mine, we fly together.
The second time we met, we made a promise to walk. But now, I could fly by her side. Something I had desired for so long.
—
What felt like halfway home, the sun had set and the sky had turned dark. At that moment, I couldn’t wait, I needed to be closer to her.
Taking a steady grip around her, I captured her body close to mine and let us fall to the ground, only for me to let out my wings right before slamming against it.
“Never do that again!” She laughs, pointing her finger at me like a scolding mother.
Hearing her laugh again makes my body tense, that sweet little bell creating music for my ears. I could never grow tired of hearing that lovable sound, matter of fact I’d like to hear it every part of my awake time.
With our lips crashing together, our bodies fall to the soft grass. And there we laid, admiring each other with eyes full of love and praise. Time around us had stopped as we were lost in one another, finally being together again.
The taste of her sweet lips still lingered and it was a taste I never wanted to get rid of.
Lying in the grass, surrounded by flowers, it doesn’t take long before we fall asleep out of exhaustion while watching the beautiful stars, her body finally being pressed against mine once again.
