"Of course it's not just your kisses. I missed your warmth, your presence, your laugh, your smell, your touch....I missed your body and everything about you" -Hunter 

ANGELA's POV

I remained standing there, staring at the monitor and watching his every move while my mind was debating if I would let him in or not, though there's an undeniable elation too.

He pressed the doorbell again and it made me jumped in surprise. Oh no! What am I gonna do? Am I going to let him in? But what does he want now? Why now?

"Angel baby...I know you're in there. Please, let me in" he said as he knocked at the door this time. I heaved a sigh and before I realize what I'm doing, my feet moved on their own and went towards the door like they have their own mind.

I slowly removed the double-lock and then opened the door after. I felt like there's a lot of butterfly in my stomach.

Our eyes instantly met. I was about to ask him what he's doing here when he suddenly pulled me roughly into a tight embrace.

"I missed so you much, baby" He said as he rained kisses on my face.

But then he instantly loosen up his arms around me when he felt my big belly.

He smiled lovingly and knelt on his knee and kissed my stomach.

"Hello, little one? You've gotten bigger since the last time I saw you and mommy. I hope you didn't give mommy a hard time while daddy's away" I just stood there while watching him. I could see the longing and adoration in his eyes as he kissed my stomach once again.

I scoffed.

"Of course, he's getting bigger in there. It's been how many months since then" I said sarcastically.

"Baby, there's a reason why I couldn't come immediately after three months" He said as he gently wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged my stomach.

I heaved a sigh as his sweet gesture began to melt my anger towards him.

I stared at the bouquet of red roses and a basket of different fruits which were on the floor, next to him.

He then unwrapped his arms around me and then took his presents then stood up.

"These are for you and our baby. I'm sorry that it took me four months before I could come here and see you. A lot has happened" His eyes sparkled with different emotions as he stared at me. I looked at the flowers and fruit basket he's holding.

Honestly, I couldn't deny the fact that I'm so happy that he's here, that I saw him again, but I didn't know how to react. These past few months, I really tried my best to just forget about him because I didn't want to get hurt any further anymore if he really has someone else. I tried to ready myself in case he would come to me one day; not because he wants to see me but because of our child.

I didn't want to assume that he would really wait for me.

I bit the inside of my cheeks and took the bouquet and fruit basket that he's handling me. A smile of happiness formed his lips when I accepted his presents.

"Thanks. I'm sure, our baby appreciates these" I mumbled and put them on the coffee table.

"What about you? Did you like the flowers?" My body went still.

"Oh, is that for me? I thought it's for our baby" I answered sarcastically because I couldn't stop myself from getting vexed because of the way he acts. How dare he act like he didn't do something these past few months? Like he wasn't with another woman? Grrr!

His eyebrows creased as he closed the gap between us. He took my hands and held it with his.

"It's for the both of you. Don't tell me you thought that I came here solely because of the sake of our baby?" My eyes met his questioning gaze.

"Aren't you? I thought you were already happy with another woman now? Didn't you get married? How come you're here if it's not because of our baby?" I couldn't hide the bitterness and pain in my voice.

"What the---Where did you get that rubbish idea? I've never been with someone else these past four months because my loyalty and love are only for you. How could you think that I was with someone else?" he rebuked in an almost broken voice and I saw pain passed through his eyes.

"I saw what I saw, Hunter. Two weeks after we last met, I saw you on TV with another woman. The reporter even asked you if she was the one you loved and she confirmed it. There was even a rumor that you were planning your wedding that time so I thought you already married her" I couldn't hide the pain in my voice as I told him that. I felt so jealous.

Yes, I was so jealous watching him together with another woman that my world almost crumbled down.

"You believed what you saw just like that without even consulting my side of the story?" he asked in dejection.

I took a harsh breath.

"Then what do you want me to feel and think after seeing that, Hunter? After what you did to me, are you expecting me to trust you completely and hope that you won't ever hurt me again? Do you even know how hard I tried to forget you because I lose hope that you would come back to me again? It hurt me here, Hunter" I admitted as I pointed at the part of my chest where the heart is located.

"And it still hurts. Why do you keep on lying to me? Do I look stupid to you? Do you think that I am that dumb for you to play with my emotions like this again? Why did I even fall in love with a jerk like you? What did you do to me that I couldn't forget about you even though you keep on hurting me? I tried but I couldn't. You're so unfair" I said to him full of resentment. I couldn't take it anymore. I uttered out all my resentment towards him that I've been keeping inside me these past few months.

He let go of my hands and then wiped my tears gently with his thumbs.

"Shhh..." Was all he could say before he kissed my forehead.

"You know what? Before I came here, I was very excited because, at last, I could finally see you again. I was even expecting that this time, you would finally open up your heart to me again, the you might accept me in your life again...But I guess, I messed up again because instead of giving you the space that you wanted peacefully, I hurt you without realizing it. I know I've been a total jerk and an a*shole for hurting you before, but believe me, Angel baby, that thing you saw on TV wasn't what it looked like. I didn't get involve with her nor with other woman because I love you so much to seek for another woman to fill your space in my life. My love for you isn't that shallow" My tears stopped and so as my sobs.

"T-Then explain to me what was that interview about? He even kissed your cheek and admitted that you two were dating. She looked so happy" He chuckled softly and gave me a peck on the lips. A while ago, he looked so devastated while explaining his side to me. But now, his eyes finally has life and they're sparkling with joy.

"That time, I was about to go to work when Georgina suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was insisting for me to talk to her. I knew she was up to no good so I declined her. I was in the middle of telling her to leave me alone when some reporters suddenly arrived. I couldn't do anything other than answer a few of their questions because Georgina was preventing me from walking away by placing her arm around my arm tightly. 

"I really wanted to push her away that time but I chose to stay quiet. A few days before that, there was a lot of rumors which was spread like a plague in Greece, a rumor that I was in love with a certain woman. People instantly thought that it was Georgina because she was the only woman who kept on approaching me.

"That's why when one of the reporters asked me if she was the one whom I was in love with and Georgina answered yes, I was so furious. I swear, I didn't want to embarrass her in front of everybody but I couldn't help but to correct her right there and then. That time, I was so afraid that you might be watching and might have the wrong idea already, so I had no choice but to tell the truth in front of the press"

"W-What did you tell them?" excitement ran throughout my body while waiting for his answer.

"It looks like you watched that interview but you didn't finish it. Hmm...Why's that?" He asked instead of answering my question. His eyes danced playfully.

"I...accidentally pressed the off button on the remote...Yes, that's it" I tried to sound believable but I failed miserably. My voice even faltered and I couldn't help but to blush in embarrassment.

I looked at his amused eyes which were staring at me full of adoration.

"You're so cute when you're embarrass, baby. You haven't change. You're still a terrible liar" my lips curled. I wanted to say something, anything to get back at him but I couldn't think of any.

"W-What did you tell them?" I repeated my question instead.

"I immediately corrected Georgina. That day, I admitted on the national television that I'm in love to a very special woman. I wanted to tell your identity but I held myself back because I didn't want to piss you any further. I wanted to fix things between us first before I declare to the world that you're mine" My heart jumped for joy upon hearing his explanation. I couldn't even stop the smile that formed across my lips so I looked down to hide it and bit my lip. Gosh, I feel so giddy.

"If you want, you can watch it on the internet. It went viral throughout Greece, you know" I shook my head but remained looking down like a fool.

He put a finger under my chin and made me look at him.

"Normally, I would never open up my personal life to anyone other than my family and close friends, but because of you, I did it. I did it in order to prevent any further misunderstanding between us. That's how much I love you, baby. You know what? While telling all that on TV, I was secretly hoping that the special person that I'm in love with, watched it" My eye brows knitted together. He chuckled amusedly.

"And of course, that person is you, silly" He continued. I couldn't breathe properly because of how much happy and contented I am. My heart was beating wildly as his face began descending slowly to mine. His eyes staring intently on my lips and the anticipation to feel his soft lips against mine again was overwhelming.

Our lips were an inch away from each other when he suddenly stopped as his eyes went back to my eyes.

"Do you believe me this time, Angel baby?" His eyes were like begging for me to say yes. I could totally see the sincerity on those beautiful orbs of his. But then, something's still bothering me.

"Why now, Hunter? I told you to leave me alone for three months but it's been four months and 7 days since that day. Why?" His eyes suddenly became sad. He raked his fingers through his hair and heaved a sigh.

"I was really planning on coming and see you after three months but something happened" He heaved a sigh again before he continued.

"I guess you already know what happened to my sister and her friend Rosie?" He asked me. My forehead knitted together but then I nodded my head. Regan mentioned me that he made sure to send them to jail because of what they did to them, especially to Scarlet.

He told us everything that they've been through the day he went to France with Scarlet. It was also the day he discovered about my pregnancy.

That was also the time when he 'kidnapped' Scarlet so that he could lure Carina to go to France and make up with her which led to a marriage proposal on the top of the Eiffel tower.

"When I heard that Tiffany went to jail, I immediately went there" He became silent for a couple of seconds, like he was having a hard time remembering what happened. He was obviously affected of what happened to his sister.

"At first, I was so furious because I thought that my sister didn't do anything. I always do that. I always believed in her. But then Tiffany confessed everything to me and admitted her mistakes from the beginning...When I heard the truth, I felt so hurt because I trusted her. I didn't even doubted her even for a second but she deceived me. But now, she already regret everything. She even asked my forgiveness. 

"She wanted to see Regan and Carina to ask for their forgiveness too but I know it's difficult for them to face her now....I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry because I hurt you, thinking that it was your brother who hurt my sister. I thought he abandoned her just like that because she lost the baby. But now, I know everything and it's the other way around. Because of my stupidity, I believed all Tiffany's lies and hurt you. I'm so sorry, Angel baby. Please, forgive me for being so stupid and jerk" He said full of regret.

I didn't know how to react.

At last, his sister confessed the truth to him. I could see the remorse in his eyes, which were starting to brim with tears.

"Please? I am begging you to give me another chance because I don't think I can move on with my life without you in it"

I couldn't take it anymore. Seeing him repent and beg for my forgiveness, for how many times already, made the wall I built in my heart, broke. It's useless to deny my feelings towards him anymore because no matter how mad I am, I know very well that my love for him is bigger than the anger.

When I learned that he's been deceiving me by pretending to be my husband, I thought I wouldn't forgive him because I was so mad. When he begged for my forgiveness, I thought of making him work hard to earn my forgiveness. But now, I learned that no matter how angry I am because of what he did, I can still forgive him because I love him that much. Even though I tried, I couldn't be happy without him in my life.

I cupped his cheeks and nodded my head slowly.

The sadness in his eyes disappeared and replaced with delight. Before I could say anything more, he suddenly captured my lips with a passionate kiss. I gasped in surprised but it's just for a second.

The kiss was full of love, longing, desire and hunger. When my lips finally moved to mimic the movements of his lips, he groaned with joy. His left hand went to my nape while the other one went to my waist and pulled me closer to him as he deepened the kiss. I moaned with pleasure.

Oh, how I missed kissing him like this and it felt like a decade since the last time we kissed like this. We were like two thirsty people in the middle of the desert as we drank in each other's mouth.

His tongue traced every corner of my mouth before he teased my tongue for a duel. I didn't disappoint him and gave him what he wanted. He groaned with delight when I mated my tongue with his aggressively.

His hand which was on my waist went to my butt and started kneading it in a delicious manner.

"A-Am I forgiven for everything that I've done, baby?" He asked reluctantly as he caressed my cheek. I swallowed hard. His eyes were full of hope. I then nodded my head slowly.

The happiness on his face was incomparable. He enveloped me in a tight embrace before he kissed me again.

"Thank you, baby! Thank you! Oh how I missed this" He said breathlessly when our lips parted. He rested his forehead against mine. We're both heaving as we stared into each other's eyes.

"You just missed my kisses? That's it?" I asked him while pouting which made him laugh.

"Of course it's not just your kisses. I missed your warmth, your presence, your laugh, your smell, your touch....I missed your body and everything about you" his eyes lit with desire as he said those last 8 words.

"Hmp! Flatterer!" She shook his head vigorously.

"No. I'm telling the truth, baby. Please, believe me" I smiled sweetly and wrapped my arms around his neck and then I tiptoed and whispered something to his ear.

"Then do something to make me believe you" His eyes squinted in lust and desire as he stared at me. Then I squealed in surprise when he suddenly scooped me onto his arms like I'm the most precious thing to him.

"Gladly, Angel baby" He then deposited me on the bed. 

****

I really wanted Angela to give Hunter a hard time on earning her forgiveness but it looks like Angela loves him that much. lol
