Selene
Azriel was staring at me when my eyes opened. My gaze shifted to our hands still intertwined.
"You're awake."
He hummed.
Tears filled my eyes again. Goddamn it. Why do I cry so much?
"It looks like we're late for work."
He hummed again. I didn't like this feeling. I hated this. I felt uneasy. I got up, and so did he, still holding my hand.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked, running my eyes. "And why didn't you go to bath or something?
"Because you were sleeping...for both the questions."
I furrowed my brows, wanting to hug him and kiss his unreadable face till he gives me a beautiful smile.
This uneasy feeling in my chest grew. I couldn't just give up on us. Yesterday, I might've said too much but this time, I had to be consistent in making him realise that we could fight together through this forbidden love shit. It was love, right? Then, it was worth having a war for.
