The Ties That Bind Us

by Eden Rose

“Let’s go home and we can cuddle on the couch while we watch something on HGTV.” I let out a laugh. “You hate HGTV,” I said with a laugh. “But you love those stupid shows no matter how fake and cringe they are and if that’s what will make my baby feel better then we do it,”

I climbed into bed and pressed my cold nose into his warm, naked chest. “Argh!” Hunter yelled and tried to push me away, but I just wrapped my arms around his torso and splayed my cold finger against his back. “You are the devil, woman.”

She was more likely to sit and wait for me to come back because it was I who could not live without her, while she was perfectly fine without me.

This was how it was supposed to be. We were always meant to end up here together, I was sure of it. I believed so deeply in my soul that she was who was meant to be in my life. It was her that controlled me so fully. And I found myself no longer caring.

“I never have nor never will,” she vowed. “After I met you I did not dare dream of anyone else but you.”

And she would never know that I loved her. She was the only person that I truly loved. The only person that saw me…and I was too immature to handle it.
