My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (summer reading list TXT) 📗

You can see her dark circles under her eyes, as if she hasn't slept.

"Paula!" he exclaims moving closer to me, invading all my space. I put my hand on his chest, and it burns me to feel him so close.

"We'll talk Dante, just that." I answer seriously without looking up to look at him. I don't want to look at him.

His eyes denoted sadness, and that's why I don't want to see him again, I don't understand why he does things and then regrets it. We arrive, and I rush out of the elevator, and he comes after me.

"I don't want interruptions Eva, No one!" He demands in his thick voice passing in front of his secretary, I just give the woman a shy smile I instantly got goosebumps, Dante is a grump, everyone is afraid of him, but he treats me like he could break me. He opens the door and lets me in.

As we enter, I just turn my back to him. "Let's go to the lounge please." he asks me, I just walk. 

I sit down without objecting, I just want to get out of here, being next to him affects me, it hurts me.

"Paula!" he says running his hand through his hair... "Why did you leave baby?"

"And what did you want? That I should stay and wait for you to deign to talk to me?"

"Something happened" I raised my hand shutting him up. "I don't want to know Dante, just like you didn't let me explain anything to you and jumped to your conclusions, that's what I'm doing now. I don't want to hear you anymore, you had your chance to explain, yesterday I asked you to talk and you ignored me.

"Paula, I know what happened that night, Iam explained it to me."

"Ah." I laughed wryly.  "You talked to Iam, but you didn't want to talk to me?" he tries to grab my hand, but I instantly shake it off standing up.

"No Dante, I'm the one who doesn't want to listen to you now."

"Why the Fuck didn't you tell me about that asshole?" he suddenly blurts out upset.

I swallow saliva. "I didn't want to worry you, I didn't make a big deal out of it."

"You are an unconscious stubbornness, you don't think about my son."

"Ahh your son, now do you care? After you spent the night who knows where and disappear without explanation again, you say you care about your son."

"No Dante, the package comes complete, if you don't want me you don't want your son either."

"Don't say that Paula, I love you more than my life."

My eyes sting, I can't hold back the tears and Dante also had crystallized eyes.

"I need you my love, by my side you and my son, also Katy, they have to come back."

"No Dante, we're better off without you, I'm better off without you." Dante looks at me shedding a tear.

"Ahh yeah, you're better off without me?" I turn my face so he can't see me cry.

"That's a damn lie Paula, you love me just like I love you, we're both stubborn, proud, but we love each other" I just ignore him.

"I think I'd better leave this alone Dante." I was dying inside.

"No, I won't accept it," he suddenly shouts, my heart beating very fast.

"Then you'll have to accept it," I say again.

"And I'd better stop working here too so we don't have to see each other's faces anymore."

"No Paula." I tried to get past him, but he holds me by the waist and pulls me to him.

He kisses me, I try not to reciprocate, but I can't, I love him, I love him too much, we kiss feeling our tears on our lips.

"No Dante" I push him away and he doesn't object. "Don't look for me anymore." I say with all the pain in my soul, walking past him out of that office, my heart in pieces.

And he kept all those little pieces because it will always be his. Even though we are no longer together.

Oh, it's really over between them? how sad, I think Dante loves her too much but his damn jealousy betrays him sometimes too much.

See you in the next chapter loves.
