29 How Could You Leave Me Like That

(Three days)

(Athena's POV)

It has been three days since Storm found out about the truth about him. He hasn't returned in three days. I mean I can understand why. He must be going through a hard time with this, but still three days. I have went looking for him, but never could find him. I was worried sick. 'What if Blade got him? Is he hurt?' these were my thoughts as I was working. I tried not to think the worse, but how could I not.

Diamond finally woke up, but she has not talked to anyone. Including Jered. I felt bad but I didn't push on the matter. She is still recovering so I let it be for now.

Jack is still at the house. He has been really great. He has been comforting me since Storm left. He says he doesn't have to leave for another two days so he stayed. During his stay so far, we have gotten to know each other really well even though I never really wanted to talk. I just felt so sad.

I sighed as I was in my office filling out paperwork. Once I finished which was at about 7, I got up and left. I headed back home.

I opened the door to the house and was greeted by Jack who was in the kitchen cooking dinner. I haven't been really hungry lately, but Jack has been forcing me to eat even if it's only a little bit. So once again I was forced to eat some of the soup he had made.

After I finished eating, I thanked him for the meal and went up to my room. I got out of my clothes and took a shower. I changed into a new set of clothes and layed on my bed. To be totally honest, I haven't been able to sleep well either. I would mostly start to sob in my sleep.

It was still early but I decided to at least attempt to fall asleep. So I closed my eyes. I slept for a little while, but that was until I heard my door open and close. I shot up from my pillow and looked at the door. Storm was standing there staring at me. Tears started to fall from my eyes and I got out of bed and ran to him. I buried my face in his chest and began to sob uncontrollably.

I don't know what came over me but I just looked at him and slapped him right across the face. "How could you just leave me like that. I looked everywhere for you, but you were gone. You just left me." I said while sobbing uncontrollably. Storm wrapped his arms around and kept mumbling "I'm sorry."

I kept on sobbing into his chest and I said "Don't leave me." It was slightly muffled but he heard it. He hugged me tighter and said "I could never leave you. I love you to much to do that." My body slightly stiffened hearing him. 'Did he just say he loves me. I mean did he literally say he loves me.'

I looked up slowly at his face and saw a tear escape from his eye. "What did you say?" I asked. He put his hand on my cheek and said "If what Jack said is true about me then it would make sense. I was raised in darkness until I met you all those years ago. You've brought light into my dark world and made me happy. I realized in these past three days that I was gone that I didn't like being seperated from you. You are my angel to my demon. I love you more than anything."

A tear escaped from my eye and he kissed it away. His words made my heart nearly burst. I didn't even know what to say. Do I love him too. Wait what am I saying? Of course I do. I love him. I love Storm Dreyer.

"I-I love you too." I said to him and his entire body had tensed up as he looked at me in disbelief. "Say it again" he said and I smiled at him a little and said "I love you too." He still looked at me in disbelief. That was until he smashed his lips on mine and started to kiss me. He backed me up against the wall and held the nape of my neck, deepening the kiss.

He slightly bit my bottom lip, making me gasp and he took the opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth. My God I never want this kiss to end, but I needed to breathe. As if he knew, he pulled away and we both stared at each other as we both were breathing heavily.

I don't know why, but I wanted him. I wanted him badly. This sudden heat coursed through my body during kiss and when he pulled away, it slowly disintegrated and I wanted that feeling back really bad. Storm was about to speak, but I didn't let him. I pulled him by the nape of his neck and kissed him. He immediately responded back and I suddenly let out a light moan against his mouth.

Storm lifted me up and wrapped my legs around his waist. I pulled him closer to my body, not leaving any space between us. He pulled away and his kisses start trailing down the side of my face to my neck. "Fuck. I want you so bad right now Athena. Please Athena let me claim you as mine." he said against my neck in between his kisses.

At this point, I was biting my bottom lip to suppress my moaning. When he asked to claim me as his, my mind went crazy. I wanted him to claim me as his. I released my bottom lip and said "Storm please claim me as yours."
