His Lethal Love by Monika Singh (short story to read txt) 📗

“How come you haven’t fallen in love yet?” 

“I’ve fallen in love, Cami,” he said quietly, almost sadly. My eyes widened in surprise as he continued, “She cheated on me and left me hurt. Since that day, I have brought a change in me and swore to myself that I would never date again.” 

“Then why me?” 

“Cami, you seem so real to me. You’re like an open book to me. I can read every aspect of you.” He came closer, making me breathe in his warm air. “When I first saw you at the party, you looked so innocent, broken, and nervous. I want to cure this heart of yours.” He placed his palm just above my heart, which started to throb harder. “You’re an absolutely divine soul.”

I unlocked the door and quietly got inside.‌ ‌As I climbed the stairs, my heart beat faster. Conan’s birthday passed smoothly, but I forgot one of the most important things. 

I opened the door of my room, and my heart was heavy with sadness. Scott lay on the bed, his legs dangling, and he was still in his black crisp suit. 

He left a message in the morning that he would come tonight, but I was not there and he fell asleep while waiting for me.‌ ‌I‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌know‌ ‌how‌ ‌long‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌been waiting‌ ‌and when he came, but he looked tired from‌ ‌his dishevelled‌ ‌appearance. 

I didn’t know why I was feeling guilty about not being on time, after all, he humiliated me many times. My eyes caught boxes of pizza and cold drinks sitting on the nightstand untouched. 

Now, I’m feeling like a complete shit person! He wanted to have dinner with me and I was damn sure he had not eaten anything since morning. Once Kate showed me Scott’s schedule, which was completely full. He had less than three hours to rest and sleep.  

I was startled when his phone rang out. I quickly turned it off without even looking at it. I didn’t want him to get disturbed just because of his shit directors. 

Biting into my lower lip I approached him and removed his shoes and socks. Since removing his clothes was not possible I unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, letting air pass his body. I tried to pull his body upward but he was too heavy to move so I let him stay in the same position. I lay next to him, staring at his handsome face. I felt butterflies in my tummy having him all to myself. 

It was crazy how your crush turned into your love and this love turned into your passion. I found myself raising my hand before caressing my fingers along his defined jawline. 

“Cam…” he mumbled sleepily, making me pause. Swallowing hard, I looked at him and prayed he would not open his eyes, and witnessed all this care and love. Suddenly he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me into his firm chest. I let out a deep breath, and couldn’t stop myself from melting into his warm body. “You’re late.” He peeled open his eyes and stared right into mine. “I have been waiting for you for hours.” 

I lowered my gaze while muttering, “I’m so sorry.” 

“I deserved it.” He let out a breathy laugh before pressing his face on the crook of my neck. I waited for him to speak further but he fell asleep again. 

I sighed heavily, letting him stay for a while, though my neck was aching from the uncomfortable position I couldn’t stop myself from comforting him.
