Zeke's POV
"I'm sorry," Kamille whispered between heaves, her voice laced with embarrassment.
"It's alright. I'm here," I reassured, holding her hair back and rubbing her back soothingly. At that moment, I realized the depth of how much gap her absence left in my heart. I missed listening to her talk about her day and the weather even when I act disinterested. I missed the times she was in my space, in my car, in my house and in my room. I missed Mrs Kamille Reid.
Heartbeat.
After she was done, we found our way back to the bedroom. Kamille's movements were sluggish, her words still slurred. I couldn't help but admire her delicate frame, but I knew better than to act on impulse. She would hate me forever.
"You should rest." I suggested but she began to undress, her actions a mixture of exhaustion and intoxication. I gulped hard.
"What are you doing?" I asked barely in control of the emotions I was battling with.
