“ I think I'll have to handle criminal cases for now”, I said to Sasha the next day. “ I had thought about it all through the night, and I don't just think that I'm ready to put all that happened behind me”.

I saw my reflection on the glassy center table, and even though the image was vague and unclear, the heavy bags under my eyes sparked immediate attention, putting itself out very noticably, just like how the sun took up attention on a sunny day.

She looked at me with a neutral expression, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going through her mind. Even though she had abandoned her Therapist profession to venture into travel writing, I could still tell that she was analyzing my situation and decision, and probably thinking of appropriate words to use in relaying her thoughts. The therapist was still in her.

“ You are quite sure that you gave it a long thought?” She asked, taking her eyes away from me for a sec to place the kettle on the burner.

“ Yes, I did”, I said

    Basil woke up the next morning. I had stepped right out of the shower when his sister, Beatrice, called me. (She had told me her name while we were having our little talk yesterday). “ Dante?” She said into the phone, and her voice got me a little scared. “ Beatrice? What is it? Is Basil okay?” I asked, holding on to my towel to stop it from falling to the ground. “ No, he…”. “ No? What happened?” “ No, no, he's alright. He just woke up right now”, she said, the intonation of her voice rising. “ What? Seriously? When?” “ Just right now. The doctors are attending to him right now”. “ Okay. I'll be right there in a jiffy”, I said. My heart was beating against my chest with excitement as I hurried with putting on my clothes. I had put on one of two different pairs of shoes and only noticed it when I stepped out of my room. I went back and changed before rushing off to my car, without even bothering to have breakfast. I didn't even bother to reply the “ good morning

  • I Never Hated You     Chapter Ninety-seven

    Dante's POV Hakim was basically being mysterious. Well, to others. Certainly not to me. Others might've been confused with his behavior, but I knew too well that his jealousy was getting the better part of him. A jealousy that I just couldn't understand. I have refused to heed to his idiocracy, not even one bit. I still found it hard to answer the question he had asked. I knew for sure that I felt something for Cole, but was it really love? Like, was it the kind of love that I liked reading about in books? The kind that was true, eternal, bonding. The kind of one where I could willingly lose myself in another person. Did I really feel that way? Cole and I kissed goodbye before leaving the office. He had suggested that we both drive together since we now live in the same area, but I heartily declined with an excuse that I was going to see a friend in the hospital. A friend that I casually have sex with. That again brought up the question of what the hell was I doing wit

    Hakim's POV I went with Mr Churchill to different TV stations, much to my annoyance. Not at the fact that Mr Churchill was with me, but at the thought that Dante and Cole were together. I knew I had promised to let him be, to let him and Cole have any kind of relationship they wanted to have, but only if he had answered the question of whether or not he loved Cole, and he didn't give me an answer. ‘ Just go’ wasn't an answer, at least not one that I'd expected, and that left a glimmer of hope in me even though a larger part of me knew that holding on to that strand of hope was just my humane way of trying to deny what I couldn't accept: that Dante loathed me, even though he didn't say it. And that even if he didn't love Cole, he would never bring himself to forgive me. How could he? When I couldn't even forgive myself. And bear in mind, the offender might forget, but the offended never forgets. Mr Churchill must've read the room while he was with me. He voluntarily bro

    I didn't say word. I didn't even know what to say. I just looked away and walked to where I sat the day before, and as my ass was about to take comfort on the soft couch, Cole walked right in. Our eyes met and he smiled at me. I smiled back, tapping on the chair for him to join me on the couch. And he did, much to the despair of Hakim who I was sure was rolling his eyes. “ Good morning”, he whispered into my ear. “ How're you doing?” I asked, smiling at him. “ I'm good”, he said, nodding, and I bet he would've Kissed me on the cheek if Hakim wasn't there. Dominic walked in later, followed by Mr Churchill and then Francis. “ Seems like we're all now complete”, Hakim started, “ even though every single one of you was late. I will let it slide today, but this will be the last time I will be letting it slide”, he said and some of us nodded; of course I didn't. “ So, I asked yesterday that we go home and gather our minds together on how best we can face off the senator.

    Dante's POV I closed the door and leaned against it with my back, my heart racing more speedily than a cyber truck. “ What the hell was that? What in heavens name was the meaning of that? Hakim, loved me? He just confessed, right? He said he loved me, right? I didn't hear wrongly, did I ? Was I hallucinating, Or was I drunk? I couldn't be, I didn't have any alcohol. Or was he the one that was drunk? He had to be drunk. There was no other explanation for his bizarre behavior. No, even drunkenness could hardly have that effect on someone, it couldn't be it, it had to be something else entirely different. But wait, he was like this during that time in the restroom, when he kissed me on my neck. Was he in the same of mental state? Gosh, what the fuck is going on? And why the hell was my heart beating? Why the fuck did I feel the need to hug him, to hold him when his eyes started tearing up? Why? Why? Why! No, no, it can't be. I don't love him. I don't even like him, not to t

    Dante didn't speak. He looked like he wanted to, but just couldn't, as if something was blocking his vocal cords, and after an eternity of silence, I continued, “ if you really do, if you really, really love Cole, then I'll leave you be. I won't forget about you, I can't even if I want to, but I'll let you two be, and give up on my chances of trying to get you back. But if there is a chance, if there is a tiny little chance that you don't feel strong enough for him, then let me into your life, I'm not saying that you should choose me or anything, but just let me show you how truly sorry I am for the things I did to you, let me show you how much I really love you”. There and right then, I hit the nail right on the head. All that remained was a response from him, an answer and everything will be complete. I had poured my heart out, made myself vulnerable before him, and had placed the ball in his court, waiting for him to make the first throw. He still seemed lost. Not just
