Your Not Hurting Me This Time Novels & Stories

"You've never failed me, Mykel. I'm just fucked up, that's all." "We both have to remember things take time. It won't always be so hard, my sweet." He kissed me gently. "Do you want to try and join me in the shower?" I closed my eyes and nodded. "I don't want this to terrify me my whole life." "They're not here, Mattie. They can't hurt you anymore. They don't have to control you anymore."

“I’m sorry my baby. This is the only time I’ll ever hurt you. Only for a few seconds. Trust me and relax, okay?” “I trust you.” ‘Fuck!’

“It doesn’t matter what I would’ve done that day.” I told him, placing a possibly cold palm on his cheek. “Today I decided that I’m done hurting the both of us. You, especially. I mean I know how you feel about me. And every time I talk about Yoké I realize that you’re getting hurt. And I’m done doing that to you. So, if he does happen to magically show up in Duran one day, I won’t be going anywhere. I want to be with you. I’m done hurting you.”

I could not help but feel a great deal of guilt wash over me. A gentle smile covered my face as I reassuringly went up to her as slow and unthreatening as possible. “Hey baby girl …you do not need to ever worry about me hitting or hurting you ok .I will never ever think to even lay a hand on you . you have my word. I promise I would never hurt you and anyone who does hurt you would have to face my wrath ok . now please don’t be like this ok. I am going to get you something to wear from my closet and be right back now …now,”.

Had I not been hurt, I would have hurled profanities at him to my heart's content. "Relax, sweetheart. I would never hurt you intentionally. Had I an option, I would not have blasted that darned building. I am sorry for hurting you. I promise to stay by your side until you are fully recovered. By now you should know that my heart beats for you and you alone my angel."

People needed something to believe in, so they provided a positive spin on an otherwise gruesome story. "I am right here. No one is taking me. It was just a figure of speech. I wasn't thinking, and I didn't mean to hurt you." My hand slid from the back of his head to his cheek. It didn't escape me that our hold on each other was more intimate than it probably should be, but I wasn't ready to let him go. "I didn't like the way you reacted. I didn't mean to hurt you. I know you didn't know that at the time, but you intentionally tried to hurt me to get back at me."

Finally, he spoke up and confirmed, “I am.” “Sorry...” “What for?” he asked coldly, standing in front of me. “I didn’t say I’m angry about what you did, but I’m upset that you allowed yourself to get hurt again. You haven't recovered from the last time incident yet.” As I gazed upon him, time appeared to stand still. He scrutinized my gaze, draining me of all my energy. I attempted to speak, but ultimately chose to remain silent. “If you say that you have done nothing wrong, then I’ll believe you. Just make sure you don’t get hurt.”

An invisible force clenched my heart in a merciless grip. Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead like raindrops. Every tick of the clock hammered against my chest, each second a tormenting reminder of the passing time. I picked up the paper card with trembling hands, my lips quivering as I forced myself to speak. "There's still time," I said, my voice shaky but desperate. "We're withdrawing money from different banks. The amount you're asking for is too much—it takes time to gather it all."

" What happened?? Did I hurt you last time...or are you too sore? I am sorry darling..." " No!! I am not at all hurt; in fact, I didn't even feel much pain after our first time, and I want to go ahead and do it all over again... it is just I want to touch you, but something in me says that it is not right. " I said. He grinned and gave me a quick peck.

"What are you doing?" "You're cold; stay in this position if you still want to be here, or go back to your room now," I said. I told her because this sentence was on the tip of my tongue: "I repeat it, I will never hurt you. Do you believe me?" My tone was pleading, and I hoped she would understand the meaning of my words. Harper was silent, but her lips seemed to be moving. It was as if she was about to say something, but she didn't say a word.
