Without Him
531 Words
I woke up with a terrible headache.I looked at the clock.It was only 9 am.I looked down the window.The sky was bright and clear.
"Is Luke home?" I thought to myself.I walked out of my room.
To my disappointment,he was nowhere around.The house was empty, silent and cold.
Seeing that,my appetite disappeared.I noticed a maid working in the corner.
"Hey." I called her.
"Miss Lucia.You are awake? Let me arrange your breakfast." She smiled at me.
"No,I don't wish to have breakfast.Is Luke home?" I asked.
"He came back at 5 am and then left again at 7." She said and I nodded.
I called Alina hoping she would have some free time. Enrique was already busy dealing with those issues and I had no idea where and why Luke went.
She agreed to meet me at the cafe.
After I finally met her,I hugged her and sat on one of the corner tables.
"How're you?" She asked.
"Just ok.What about you? Are you still upset about what Armen did?" I asked.She faked a smile at me as his eyes welled up.
"I loved him.I thought he loved me too." She whispered.
"It's fine.You deserve a better man and one day you'll find someone." I said.
"But I don't know whether I will ever stop loving him or not." She sobbed slowly.
"You definitely will." I smiled.
After chatting with her for about an hour.I decided to go to a park.
I sat in thr the corner as I watched the little children play.
I wish I could be little like them.Carefree ane happy.I walked around here and there until I realized it was already 8.
I decided to head back home.
I walked inside the lavish mansion just too see him smoking on the couch.His eyes met mine as I looked down and walked towards the room.
"Lucia..." He called from behind.His voice seemed extremely tired.Even his eyes were drowsy.
"Yes?" I replied.He came closer to me and put his hand on my cheek.
"How are you?" He whispered.
"Fine." I replied with my eyes fixed on the floor.He didn't say anything further so I took an attempt to walk away.Somehow the pain in my heart increased as I took the first step.
I could still feel his stern gaze over me.I turned around hoping he had an explanation but nothing.Silence, completely silence.
I had to be the wise one so I walked towards him and hugged him.My hand was behind his head while the other one held his hand.
"Eat properly and go to sleep.Don't tire yourself." I placed a kiss on his cheek.I was about to walk away but he didn't let go of my hands.
"Have dinner with me." He said.The words I've been waiting for.I smiled and nodded.
We walked towards the table and quietly had our dinner.He didn't say a single word and neither did After we had our dinner.I got up and went to my room.
After getting ready for bed,I heard Luke leave again.He needed sleep and if he didn't,he will be sick.Why was he tiring himself so much? I didn't understand.
I tried to suppress the pain in my heart.
I needed him but he didn't.
My whole body was craving for his touch,just one touch but nothing.
That night,I punched the wall a few times before going to sleep.
Physical pain was better than this emotional torture.
