"Why didn't you ask me out before?" I asked while kissing his collarbone.
The past three weeks had been a bliss.
We spent most of our free time together at my condo, and we couldn't keep our hands off each other.
We were in our own bubble, away from everyone.
The more I got to know him, the more I was falling for him.
I couldn't help wondering how different it would have been if we had started dating under the 'normal' circumstances!
"And don't tell me because you thought I was too good for you. That's just bullshit!" I said.
"But I really think you're way too good for me," he kissed my head.
"And why do you think so?"
"There's no particular reason," he said, "I just feel that."
That didn't make any sense to me.
"I was very close to asking you a few times, but then I chickened out," he said, "I mean, you had seen me fooling around several times. I wasn't sure what kind of perception you had in your mind about me. And as I said before, you're important to me. I didn't want to spoil anything, including the friendship that we shared."
"And then the other few times I tried to gather courage, you were already dating someone else," he sighed.
"And now you're married, but that didn't stop you from opening up about your feelings," I said. Such an irony it was!
He chuckled, "Well, that's true! I'm sorry!"
"You should have asked me. Who knows I might have dumped the boyfriend!" I joked.
"My sincere apologies," he smiled as he pulled me up to kiss me, "Maybe I can try to make it up."
I didn't regret a single moment with him, but at the same time it was scaring me how unapologetic we were about the fact that he was still married! It's like we didn't give a damn at all!
"Edward, you didn't have to order the whole ass piano just because I said I'm thinking about learning it!" I shook my head.
"I can teach you. I'm a good teacher," he winked.
"You're too much!" I said.
"Well, I'm going to record the first session," I said when he was ready to teach me the first lesson. Yeah, I was acting giddy like that now! I had fucking lost my mind!
I started the recording and wrapped my arms around him.
Suddenly I found myself getting overwhelmed with my feelings. I couldn't believe I was actually with him, and he too cared for me for some reason. This was too good to be true!
"Will you let me focus, please?" he smiled.
"No!" I said, as I placed a soft kiss on his ear.
"Alright, I can't focus," he got up and stopped the recording.
"You're too distracting," he lifted me up in his arms.
"What are you doing?" I giggled.
"You're a bad, bad student. You deserve a punishment," he said in a serious tone.
"Shut up!" I laughed out loud.
"You're gone today, Ms. Swan," he said as he put me on the bed.
"Ooh... I'm scared," I teased.
"As you should be!" he said as he removed my top.
I giggled like an idiot!
Yeah, this was too good to be true!
