I looked at him. Sat, with his back to me, enthralled in his latest novel. I noticed his soft dark hair, with a slight wave to it. 'He must have slept on it funny' I thought to myself. I noticed his duster coat. I thought of him every time I saw one. I noticed his lips, and remembered the way they would brush against mine, and his hands, with the soft calluses that would make me shiver when he touched my skin. His deep brown eyes that displayed all his emotions to me. They were so deep and fathoming I swore I could see his heart when I looked into them. He displayed all his words and feelings to me, without having to say a word. I remembered when he would push me up against the the wall during training, and I would smell his deep, intoxicating smell, and when he would run his hand through my hair, with a pained expression on his face.
But none of that would ever happen again. He had made himself very clear. 'Love fades, mine has'. The words burned deep into my heart, the pain a constant throb. He would calm me down when the darkness took over, but now. Now I had no-one. As much as Adrien loved me, I knew, deep down, I didn't love him back. I didn't want to hurt him, God no, but I knew I would just hurt him even more if I kept this up, so I had ended it. He had accused me of using him as a 'prop' to try and become Lissa's guardian, and that I never loved him. That wasn't true, and his words stung and bit down like a bullet, but I had to question myself. 'Had I used him?'
None of this mattered. I sighed to myself, and finished the last of my coffee. I stood up and walked out of the shop, feeling a wave of nausea overcome me as I walked past Dimitri. I knew why though. He wasn't a strigoi, he was the man I loved, the man who used to love me.
so, I know it's really short but I felt that that was the right ending. If you want me to carry it on I will and just leave a review to say so, but if I don't get many then it can stay as a one shot. Hope you enjoyed it :)
