Chapter 29

Eloquence, her office was. The smell of hers invaded my nostrils as I resist the argue to sniff the office. The dark looking room that sun rays shine through had something that relates it to her.

It was so simple, yet had some mystery rolling off the tables and the chairs that rescued the room from being empty.

It was bright, yet again it was dark. It was just like the owner of the office, which got me thinking if Kylie is still lurking behind those curtains she used hide in.

I see myself going to her desk and checking her table. Two computers sat visibly, blocking what's behind them. Some folders and papers scattered her side table, beside random photographs of Liam, Noah and her grandma.

The picture that was bent and was not visible caught my attention as I looked around the photographs. My curiosity got better of me as I slowly pick it up and see that it is a picture of me.

Shocked to see what I saw, I sat on the chair, her chair to be specific, staring at the photo in my hand. I stood by the pole, looking ahead, my hands on my pockets with my right leg fold. I was in a black jeans and a black jacket. The wind, it looks swiveled my hair making it messy, and from the way my lip is putted in a form of smirk, I seem to talk to somebody.

"Liam, why did you ask me about being mom's prince?"

I slowly opened the closed cabinets, wondering what else secretes she has hidden.

"Mom told me that there is a prince they gave her me, she told me he stole her crown that was behind her chest, can I ask you a question" he continued after second of me nodding "how can a big crown sit inside her chest, her chest is it big?"

Looking at the opened cabinet, my eyes take view of folders, that were settled quite properly. I was about closing it when a box of red caught my eyes.

With shaky hand, I pulled it out, wondering if it was the same box or it was else.

"Close your eyes" I say.

"I thought my eyes were mine and not yours?!" She frown.

"Quit with the sarcasm and close it"

"It wasn't-" I caught her lips for a light kiss as to silence her abd ordered again.

"Close them" it wasn't after a second I continue, "open them now"

"Hey!you don't get to ord-" as the sight of the promise rings she was shutted, shocked abd surprised.

Opening the red box, silky against my hand I stare at the empty box, thinking where the ring was. I stare at the initials of our name on the external box. I remember mom giving it to me within a week of me asking.

"But I love you"

"I love you too"

Words roam in my head freely, wondering their ways to my past memories that were caged at the back of my head.

Does that mean she still have something for me?! Is there a little feeling for me in that heart of hers?

The door was suddenly opened, revealing Kylie with her hand on her shoes as her leg was bent backwards. She mutter something about hating heels before her eyes connected with mine.

Her raven hair covered her half face before she kept them back to her ear, looking at me shocked and staggered. I stood from my place with the box in my hand. As she takes a look at it, her eyes went to express different feelings.

"A-what are you doing here?" She asks.

I kept quite for a plenty of minutes, my head rambling about the hope we have.

"Aren't you using those words a little to much Ky?" I didn't know what to say, my mouth kept moving as they want, reproducing words I can't manage to say.

"What do you think you are doing here Ashton?!" Her voice rose.

The smirk on my face was wide abd broken. I take a look at the box abd the picture on her table, as I walk towards her, looking at her hand for any ring. But what I got doesn't resemble any of those I gave her.

With me moving towards her and she going backwards, we stood upon her on the door as I caged her. I look at her face, her green beautiful eyes. Slowly raising my hands I trace her eyebrows then her nose, moving to her red stained lips, then her jawlines, making my way to her neck, her collarbones.

"You still got the ring" it was a statement I said as I looked at the necklace that held the same ring I gave her.

Slapping my hands away she looked at me furiously.

"Who do you think you are?" She asked causing me to laugh.

Hysteria was playing on me, toying with me. I mess my hair angrily, throwing the vase located on the round table. Rambling simply I look at her, at her eyes that continue to shut the door.

"Always getting away, always running. I am tired of chasing you Kylie, and you should know that by now. It's like I am the one who hurt you, who caused a painful scar. It's like I am the one who put you on a mired. You having a photo of me in the office proves that you Still have something for me, you can deny it whatever you want, however.." I stood in front of her, holding her upper arm making her gasp, "..your dawdling won't get you anywhere. Look, my besot won't moulder anytime soon, so stop pushing the knife much deeper than it already has."

Wrapping my arms around her tightly, afraid she would vanish anytime soon I whisper, "I don't care about what happened in the past, but don't let the past get to our future, you and me, and now Liam too, that's what we wanted back then and what we still want, let's make it happen Ky, please."

When she didn't answer and just stood without moving, I continue trying my best to convince her about us. I did want to hold onto her every time, and I want her and o hold onto me too.

"Tell me you still have something for me Ky, just say it abd I promise I hold onto you more tighter, I-"

I didn't get to tear my hear out before she interrupt me. Saying things that I never thought she would, with her broken and fragile voice she spoke making my heart tighten around my chest.

"I still do have something for you Ashton, I do"

The arms that wrapped around my waists and the neck that rested on my shoulder made my happiness complete. The more her hand tighten around me, the more I felt warmth spread to the body that in a second was no more empty.

"I am so sorry Ashton, for everything. For leaving you, for scarring you, for hurting you and and and,.."

"Shh" I sooth her, brushing her hair, "it's all in the past, don't go there, I forgive you"

And yes, I did forgive her. After all the pain I indure from her, after the damage I faced, it didn't matter since now she was here, with me and in my arms. Where she belong.

The fire that burned me because of her was now tolerable and pleasurable, as the flames continue to sooth me too.

Indeed I was complete..
