Chapter 71

Brielle's POV

I felt the sun's rays hitting my face. I opened my eyes to the sun shining in the room. It was Blake's room. I went in there to check on him, but he was knocked out. I must have slept next to him. Speaking of him, he was nowhere in sight and his side of the bed was cold. He must have gone out a while ago. I stretched out my limbs and got out of bed. Last night was so eventful, but I am well rested now.

I wonder what happened to Rea. Is she alright? I'll check on her later. Right now I need to get a shower before anything else. Since I have a change of clothes here, it works out. I went into the washroom and stripped my clothes. I sent my grandma a text message telling her about the situation. Half the truth, by the way. I couldn't go into detail because what the hell would I be saying to her?

I went under the shower and let the hot water run. My body has been over exerted since last night. I needed to soothe tensed muscles. I was lost in my own world, so that I failed to detect Blake's presence. By the time I noticed him, he was already naked and entered the shower.

" Oh, it's you. When did you get here?"

I asked him to move back to give him some space.

" I came in a few minutes ago. You were so lost in thought, you didn't even hear me call out to you."

He smiled, ate and said," A penny for your thoughts?"

Despite his smile, I couldn't overlook the dark circles surrounding his eyes. He really didn't look well. I am so worried about him. That reminds me that I have yet to ask him about yesterday's incident. I probably shouldn't right now. I am afraid that it will just put him in a moped. I am dying to know, but for the moment I let it go.

He pulls me by the waist as we both stand under the water running down our bodies. I hold on to his shoulders, so I don't slip. He just looks at me without saying a thing. It's been a while since we have been intimate and just so happen to be in the best place for some love. I pulled his face and smashed my lips on his, taking full control. I pulled his hair as he pulled my body closer and tighter.

He picked me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. The kiss intensified, and he slammed my back on the wall. Holding me steadily, he began grinding on my wet pussy with his cock. I felt it hardening, making me move my hips, following his rhythm. My body was so heated up, all I did was to feel him inside of me. His kisses trailed down my neck to my chest, leaving bite marks. I moaned in pleasure, throwing my head back and pulling his hair harder.

He brought his mouth back to my lips, and sucked on my lower, licking it stung from being swollen. Before he could comprehend, he thrust his cock intoe knocking the air out of me. I dug my nails into his shoulder as he thrusted in and out steadily. Both of us were lost in pleasure and I moved my hips to match his pace. He started thrusting into me faster and vigorously. I scratched his back and a bit into his neck as he continued to drill into my pussy.

I could feel myself getting closer with each thrust. Blake was not far off as his pace intensified. I screamed with pure pleasure, and he grunted, both of us chasing a high. We both tensed up as he unloaded onto me. I felt deliciously weak as I untangled myself from Blake who was breathing heavily into my neck. His hot breath sent sparks down my spine. That was amazing.

I noticed that Blake was there physically, but his mind was far away. He doesn't like telling me his problems, and I am too afraid to upset him by bringing up his problems, but that has got to stop. We are a couple, and we won't grow if we just avoid each other's struggles. For the moment, I allowed us to finish showering and get ready for the day. He was so out of it he didn't even say a word to me after we had sex.

I was fed up with the silence, so I decided to take the initiative to bring up what happened last night.

" Blake are you alright?" I asked him, and he seemed to snap out of his little trance.

" I am fine," he said rather quickly.

" I am alright. I was just thinking about work and stuff."

Lies. He is blatantly lying to me. Did he forget that I was right there when he went off on Rea?

" Come on Blake. Don't give me that. Talk to me. What is going on with you?"

He didn't say anything and just looked away. I wasn't going to give up that easily. Whatever it was, I was going to force it out of him if I had to.

" You have to talk to me, Blake. I hate seeing you like this. I don't even know why or what's going on. I want to help or even try to, but how can I do that when you just shut me off and deal with shit yourself?!"

" Let it go, Brielle. You can't do anything to help. No one can. There is no point in me talking about it with you."

His response hurt me more than he could imagine. He was there for me whenever I needed him and he supported me. Now that it's my turn, he won't let me because he thinks that there is nothing I can do anyway. Is it because I am just a human girl now? Is that it?

" You know, for a second I thought that you and I were one. I realize now that was just my misconception. I am just another thorn in your side. You don't actually need me. It's been me who needed you all along. That is why you don't even value me. You can't even share your troubles with me because I am just one of them, aren't I?"

At the moment, I was barely managing to hold back my tears. I want to help, I want to be with him and try to comfort him, but he keeps pushing me away. He didn't even answer me. That alone was an answer. I was right. That's it. I'll just leave. He'll face everything alone as he wants to. In a way, I'll be helping him by getting out of his way and stop nagging him.

I wiped a stray tear that fell from my eye and just had to leave. Was he really going to let me go? That felt like a knife twisting in my gut. Before I could make it to the door, he stopped me. He wrapped his arms around me from behind.

" I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I am really sorry. Don't go."

I started crying. I was crying, but it was tears of joy. He didn't let me go. I was so happy and relieved. It would have shattered me to leave just like that. I felt his tears on my shoulders. He was crying as well. I am so happy that he is going to open up to me and let me in. Whatever it is that's bothering him, we can get through it together.
