Chapter 10
Previously:
Why did I feel there is a 'but' which was coming my way?
Rose POV
Why does there always have to be a 'but'? Why couldn't I just go up to him and kiss those lips of his? You know why. And so I continued.
"Well, I just want you to know that the feeling is mutual" he gulped like he expected me to continue. "But" he sighted like he knew this was going to come
"I can't do this. I know what it feels like to be cheated on or at least I think that's what my husband is doing and I don't want to do the same thing to him."
It was true, how much ever I liked him, and I could not be with him just because of Adrian.
Again.
"He can be a terrible man who has done terrible things but on top of that he is still my husband."
I knew I should say more or ill regret it so I continued
"You have no idea how much I want to be near you but I can't do that when I still have a husband beside me. I feel the connection too. I know how it is for me too and that's why it makes it harder."
Something clouded his beautiful eyes and I know it wasn't good. I had a gut feeling at the back of my stomach.
He said in a cold and stern voice- "if you want this then ok. We will have nothing but a normal professional relationship and nothing more. I will be a stalker of your husband and you will be a sign on the paycheck"
"A sign on the paycheck? A sign on the paycheck? Really, is that all you think of me. Am I just money to you and nothing else? I really thought that we were bigger then this"
I gulped
"Look, I'm sitting here trying to tell you how close I want to be with you but I can't because of a reason and you are standing there and looking at me like I'm one of your paychecks."
I was getting angrier and angrier by the moment.
"Bravo, detective, you are doing a great job."
Some of the bitterness went from his eyes as he tried to fight it off.
"You were the one who said that you wanted a professional relationship, a detective and the wife. What else do you want me to do?"
He had the professional mask on, but I didn't like it. What I hated more was that I was the one who forced him to put it on
"You are now like the other cases I solve, no different, so why shouldn't I treat you that way. They are the source of my income, of my daily bread and now so are you."
Oh, wow. That was like a slap on my face.
First off, he's the one who says he has feelings for me and that he really likes me but when I give him a reason for my discomfort; he goes out and changes his perspective completely.
I mean I get what he is saying is right but, how, in a second can this man make me a sign on his paycheck.
"Ok, fine, maybe to an extent you are correct. Maybe I'm driving you into treating me that way but Dimitri, you should know that I really thought, I thought we were bigger than this and that you would trust me and just let it be."
I wanted him to know the truth but I continued.
"You know I don't really let people in but you somehow crawled your way in. You came in my life couple of days ago and I already feel so strongly about you. I'm sorry but you don't understand how that feels, if you did, you would be treating me completely different right now."
I felt something wet on my cheek and realized it was a tear.
"Goodbye detective, when you find something, call me."
Just as I said that, I turned around and ran out of the coffee shop, sobbing.
I could hear him call out my name but I decided to ignore him instead as I ran, as my life depended on it.
I wasn't going to let them have a fight but
I thought every great love story has a fight
So this chapter goes to the start of a great love story!
