CHAPTER 2
Aie. She just hit me about five times in the stomach before pushing me away.
"Hey Mads, calm down. What's wrong ?"
"Don't you ever dare calm me again like this. Who are you ? How do you know my name ?"
"You're joking ? Mads, it's me. Rhydian. You know..."
She stares at my face for a moment, before taking a very little step to approach me. Then she squints. And finally her eyes widen and chock crosses her face.
"Rhy.. Rhydian ?", she mutters incredulously.
"Yes, sweetheart, it's me. It's okay, it's just me. Calm down, I'll never hurt you", I whisper.
And again, I take her in my arms. First she doesn't move, tensed, like ready to flee. Then finally, she lets go, puts hers arms around my neck and sticks her head in my neck. I can feel her breath against my skin. The warmth of her body gains mine, and it seems like it sticks my heart together.
"You can't figure how much I missed you", I say.
She retreats.
"Why are you here ?", she yells
"I couldn't stand to be far from you anymore", I mutted. I cannot understand what is she like this. Is she not happy to see me ?
"What is wrong Maddy ? Tell me, please", I pray
"I'm not your Maddy anymore", she says dryly.
"What, what happened ?"
"Let me go Rhydian", she says, beginning to leave.
The sight of her back burns me. I cannot let her go. Not twice. Catching her arm, I take her firmly by the waist so that she cannot move.
"Why are you doing this to me ?"
She tries to move and when she gets that I will not let go, she finally raises her head and I can see that her eyes are filled with tears.
"Please tell me, I cannot see you suffer like this", I mutter heart-broked.
Bending, I put my lips on hers. Then I retreat and open my eyes. She keeps hers closed, while her tears flow silently through her carmin lips. I kiss her again. Heaven is on her lips. The sweetness of a rose petal associated to the delights of honey. She sighs.
"We have to talk", she says eventually.
