Brettonio Drabble
Chapter 39
Prompt: #19 "It's starting to kind of hurt my heart that you don't say I love you back."
It was morning, Sylvie could see the sun glancing through her bedroom window. She turned around and found the other side of the bed empty.
"Good morning." Antonio was standing just ouside her bedroom, fully dressed and ready to leave.
"Are you gonna be here tonight?" She asked hopefully.
"I don't know yet."
"Ok. I love you."
"I gotta run. See ya."
She let herself fall back into her soft pillow, slapping herself internally for again saying those words to him. She should have known better, he wasn't the relationship kind of guy, he was the I-fuck-you-a-few-times-and-then-leave type of guy. But they were having sex for month now, they even were hanging out regularly, yeah, if she was honest that also ended with them having sex.
The doorbell rang when she already was in bed. She got up dressed only in a wide shirt, in his wide black shirt, to be percice and a tiny slip. Opening the door, ready to shout at him for being so rude and ring her out of bed, she met his eyes. What she saw made her gasp. His pupils were dark, filled with lust and passion as he stood there and took her in.
"Is that my shirt?" He asked with a low voice that sounded more like a growl, that made a shiver run down her spine.
"It's starting to kind of hurt my heart that you don't say I love you back."
"What?" He asked confused, there moment clearly gone.
"It's starting to kind of hurt my heart that you don't say I love you back." She repeated.
"I can't. It's just ... I can't explain." He said trying to step into her apartment, but she didn't let him in.
"Then we're done here." Closing the door, she got back to her bedroom and crawled into bed. Letting the tears she'd been holding back, out.
