Chapter 26 - Seal it with a Kiss

This is dangerous territory. I already knew that. So why?

Why am I allowing this to happen?

Why did I tell him that I still love him?

I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole as soon as I said the truth.

However, Drayce took my hands and bring them to his lips. He kissed it just the same as he always did before and it breaks my heart.

“I do and I hate it.” Soon as I said it, he stops moving. He looked up at me as I continue. “I hate that I still have this unchanged feeling when you have.”

I took my hands from him and went to the kitchen. Too afraid to see me crack. “Is it so bad to love me?”

“Yes, Drayce. It’s bad because we’re no longer together and you’re engaged. It isn’t fair watching you happy with her.” I can hear his footsteps coming towards me when I stop him. “Please don’t. You know that we should stand by our choices.”
