Do you ever feel like never getting up from your bed? Arif felt like that with Lily in his hold. So serene. It has been years since he last held her.
His heart bested for her through it all while it longed for her in the same manner. She was his life. He couldn't tell when she was exactly but she was and would always be.
The plan had been to use her but he ended up falling. And no one prepared him for the results.
Lily wasn't any different. With her near-death and resurrection, she came to know more than she bargained for. She accepted and understood his circumstances.
The girl raised her head from his speeding heart and looked him straight in the eyes. " Do you love me? Even if you do, you don't trust me enough. How would this work without trust?"
Arif flipped her over with his body hovering above hers. He was more than comfortable staying like this for eternity but he knew a more pressing issue awaited them.
