Chapter 180: Do you still love me?

"| just don't want you to get worried,"

"I can't believe you," | said in a retreating tone and let out a sigh as | wiped my face with my hands. "So Lucy's

effort to tellthe truth is useless,"

"So it was Lucy!" he said in surprise but | ignored him.

"I thought when | cto see and talk to you | will hear a proper explanation and an apology for lying once

again," Hurt and disappointment laced in my voice. "Sweetheart---"

"I'm sorry, | shouldn't have exerted an effort to chere and worried for nothing because it's sad to say you

had no intention of tellingthe truth."

And for that, | decided to leave him and ran fast to the open door.

"Samantha, wait!"

| just stopped when | reached the living room and turned to face him.

"Sam..."

"Do you know how scared | was while Lucy was tellingyou almost lost your life? Do you know how much guilt

| felt after hearing all these things and realizing how | accused you of doing something behind my back? And do

you even know how my whole body trembled while | was waiting for the elevator to stop on your floor?" Another

set of tears started running down my face and it was now difficult to stop them because of the painful sobs that

simultaneously escaped my throat. "Sweetheart, I---"

"I was so scared!" | cut him off, yelling. | can see through his eyes how much he wanted to touchbut he

couldn't. "And it was the second tI've been scared in my life. The first was when | almost had a miscarriage

and lost Cali and the second was earlier when Lucy toldwhat happened to you! Do I really have the right to

worry about you?" "Of course, you have---"

"Then why did you hide the truth?"

"What if something happened to you? What if it was... it was something worse? What if... what if we never had

the chance to see you and... and... argh! Luke---"

| screamed his nbut that was all | could scream as | didn't have the chance to continue as quickly invaded

the remaining space between us and pulledinto a hug.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sweetheart, | didn't think about what you feel," he said as he peppered kisses all over my

hair and neck.

"What are you doing? Letgo!" | tried to push him but it was no use as he was strong and he just even pulled

"I'm sorry, that t| was scared too. | wanted to call you, | wanted to tell you but | can't because | was more

scared to see you crying and worried every t| had to go to a business meeting or represent a new project out

of town."

At that time, | stopped struggling in his arms, but I still couldn't bring my hands to hug him.

"I missed you. | missed you every fu**king day. | missed Cali, | missed your smile, your kisses, your hugs---

everything! | miss you so much, Sam, I'm sorry, | love you,"

And that's what madelose my strength and inhibitions. | finally found my hands wrapped around his waist as

| began to cry and tremble in his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," he whispered, repeatedly kissingon the side of my head. He even began to stroke

my back and the length of my hair.

"You letdoubt you and accused you of wrong things just to keep this to me,"

"I know it's my fault and I'm sorry,"

"Don't do it again!" | said hitting his back.

He held my shoulders and madelook at him after breaking our embrace.

"I was scared to death when | found out but | was more hurt when | learned you purposely hid it from me. | felt so

useless---"

"No, sweetheart, don't ever think about it that way!"

"But it's true---"

"No! Shhh! That's not true! It was my decision not to tell you so it was my fault, okay?" He wrappedin his

arms again but then a few seconds later... "Stop crying," "I can't!" | pouted but he just smiled and wiped my

cheeks using his thumb.

"Did you miss me?" he asked after a while.

| stared at him but didn't respond. Deep within my heart, that question shouldn't be asked anymore.

"Do you miss me?" he askedagain but when | remained silent, he cupped both my cheeks and madelook

at him. "Hey, why aren't you talking? Do you miss me?"

"Do you think | would be in a hurry if | didn't?" | huffed, furrowing my eyebrows.

"So do you misstoo?"

"Luke!"

"Do you miss me, yes or no?" His hands were still on my face.

"Yes!" | replied almost a yell. "I missed you! | missed you so much even though you lied to me! | missed you so

damn much---" but | didn't get to continue what | was saying as he already pulledand kissedon the lips.

It didn't takea second before finding myself responding to his kiss passionately.

His kiss began softly, but when he

felt that | had no plan to stop him, he began to deepen the kiss. | threw my arms around his neck as he pulled

pressing our bodies together.

And suddenly all the worries, doubts, and inhibitions circulating my sanity when | chere disappeared. The

only thing | feel right at that moment is how much I miss him and how much | love him. And all that feeling |

have for him, | poured out through my kiss. And when he pulled his head back, he stared down atand

whispered...

"| love you,"

| met his gaze and bit my lower lip

as | smiled at him. His eyes followed my lips movement and before | could open my mouth to respond, my lips

were once again with his, but this tit was demanding, seeking more response... consuming and hungry yet

sweet, teasing me,

nibbling my lower lip and driving my

body into the pool of lust.

| didn't protest when he grabbedby the hips and kissedhard almost leavingbreathless. | didn't even

stop him when | felt his hand begin stroking my back. I just leaned my body forward and balled his soft hair into

my palm. Our bodies pressed together heatedly against the wall.

Wait- what? The wall? Since when did we move to the nearest wall?

Our lips moved in sync and | could taste our shared breaths, and feel the thud of our combined heartbeat as |

fumbled to take off each other's clothes.

We both stopped for a while panting

and stared into each other without

any words leaving our lips. The desire can be seen through his eyes as he looked at my almost bare top. My shirt

was taken off a few

minutes ago. He took it off as did the sfor him. And because of that, | had the opportunity to stare at his

body and gasped when | noticed the long scar on his left side.

My forefinger traced that scar and then | gazed up at him with tears forming around my eyes.

"Hey," he noticed my reaction so he quickly wiped my eyes using his thumb.

"Does it still hurt?" | asked, still imagining the pain he had been through during and after the accident.

"Nope, I'm fine now," he shook his head but | frowned at him.

"Don't lie toagain!"

"No, I'm not lying. It doesn't hurt anymore---"

"Luke Marcuz Williams, you had a broken rib!" my voice ca little bit loud... just a little bit.

"Okay, okay, sometimes | can feel it when | move fast but it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Luke?"

"Fine, a little... Just a little."

| just hugged him again as | was suddenly lost for words when he finally admit it still hurts but maybe | hugged

him too tight and...

"Ouch! Sweetheart---"

"Oh, my God! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," | started kissing him all over his face out of panic.

"Aww... how | wish | get always hurt to get your kisses---" but he didn't finish his sentence | punched him on his

shoulder.

"Don't you ever say that again! You have no idea how worried | was when you started not to call me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just kidding," he apologized instantly and wrapped his arms around me. "Ohh... so soft..."

| couldn't help but frown when he moaned near my ear but then my eyes widened and | hit him again when |

realized why he did that.

"Get off me!"

"Wait, letfeel them even just for a few seconds. You don't know how much | missed you,"

"Luke Marcuz, you are so annoying!"

"I know, sweetheart, | know, but | can't help it, | love you." | felt him kiss my hair. "Do you still love me?"
