Eyes as dark as tarmac with the unmissable hint of red on the coast showcased his restless nights. To say I have missed him is an understatement, each passing hour without him felt more than dull. It is truly surprising how a person can affect one's life, how Valerius De Santis affects my life. Without him, I am a lantern with no fire on a moonless night, prepared to drown in a hellish abyss.

I was controlling the tears that wanted to escape my eyes, my hands shook with adrenaline and my heart was beating faster than ever. "Amore." Only one word from him signalled the brewing dam in my eyes to release.

Valerius dropped the flowers and note on the floor before pulling me to his chest, holding me ever so tightly. I missed his embrace, his scent and his touch, it felt new yet familiar. Fisting his shirt with my hand, Valerius stroked my head, trying to calm me down yet I couldn't. I was hit with a thousand or more different unnamed emotions that swirled in the pit of my stomach.

"I've missed you so much, amore, I'm so sorry." He repeated like a mantra, Valerius's hand came up under my thighs and lifted me up, making me instantly wrap my legs around his waist. He sat on the couch and I remained sitting on his lap with my head placed on his chest. My sobs began to quieten down while Valerius continued to whisper sweet nothing in my ear.

"You're safe now, amore, look at me," He cooed but I didn't look up, I felt stupid, guilty and embarrassed. "Amore, look at me please." Valerius slightly nudged my head with his and I slowly tore myself away from his chest, not looking up at him rather keeping them focused on my fidgeting fingers.

"Hey," Valerius lifted my chin with index and middle finger but also placing his thumb on my chin, making me look at his prussian blue eyes. "Val, I'm so sorry. I-" Not getting a chance to finish my sentence, Valerius gently slammed his lips on top of mine.

Wrapping my hands around his neck, I pulled him close to me before moaning into his mouth out of pleasure. Our lips collided, removing the cold and neglected touch instead reviving them with our passion. "Fuck, I have missed you so much," Valerius said in between kisses, continuing to dot them all over my neck harshly.

"I've missed you too, Val," My fingers combed and gripped his already dishevelled hair. Valerius placed his lips back onto mine, pulling at my lower lip each time I tugged hard on his hair. His other hand roamed under my sweatshirt, moving up and down my bare back with his gentle touch. "I'm so sorry, amore, forgive me please." He pleaded against my lips.

"I'm to be blamed, Val. I shouldn't have left you." My hand cupped his face as he did with mine. "You have every right to. I promise to do better." I hummed 'no', shaking my head. "How much will you do for me, Val? You have done so much for me. As for me, I haven't done anything for you and when I have it fails." A tear slipped from my eyes and dragged down my cheek.
