"Sorry."
Nah! I'm sick of hearing that sorry word come out of his mouth. Never mind forgiving, I don't even flinch in the slightest.
Reza tried to explain to me what really happened. Although I did not criticize him, I did listen to the reason Reza had told me. She said that night Salsya called her and said she couldn't sleep, that someone wanted Salsya to talk to her. Reza told me that he had refused, but Salsya was knocking - slowly - the door of our room, constantly. Reza didn't want me to be distracted, so she followed Salsya's desire to talk to her on the front porch.
"He saw us making out by the pool, so he did." Reza did not continue his words, but I knew exactly what the sentence was going on. Salsya wants Reza to have fun with her too. He wanted Reza to kiss and love him, just like Reza did to me, like the warmth I felt - the warmth a husband gives his wife. Roughly, he asked for rations.
Hearing that I was even scuffed and provoked to press the ice cube strongly on his bruise, so he grimaced a bit because of pain. But I still do not understand the reason he said it. I kept my mouth shut and didn't look at him.
"Erik is still here, right? Ask him to replace Alfi and May to take care of Salsya in the hospital. Alfi and Mayra are your best friends, not your employees."
I stood up, put the basin and the ice cubes on the table, then came out of the room, down the stairs with a curve. My leg feels weak.
Arriving below, I went to the toilet, washed my face, then went out and sat on the sofa, holding my head with two hands while staring at the floor.
"You waiting for May and Alfie? Just let me," Reza's voice shocked me. Suddenly he was at the end of the stairs.
Oh, with pleasure.
I stood up, climbed the stairs and passed Reza without looking at her in the slightest. But I didn't go straight into the room, I was still standing there, near the stairs. A few minutes later, the door opened, and Mayra's voice immediately expelled the silence. "Why you? It's bruising."
Reza didn't explain, he just said he was okay.
"Let me treat" said Mayra.
"No need. It's been compressed Nara."
"He's still sleeping. He woke up, accompanied by Aarin. Now it's slumbering again. Emm... What about Salsya?"
"He's not okay. Maybe just a little shock from falling to the floor. He was taken by Erik to Mes, really."
I've guessed. I know he's okay. I know he's just pretending.
"Trims. Sorry to bother you."
"Casual" Alfi replied.
"Nara, how?" ask Mayra.
Silent. Then a strong breath sounded. "Yes, so. But I hope everything's okay. I.. first, upwards. Thanks again."
I quickly went into the room, not wanting Reza to catch me hearing her chatter with Alfi and Mayra below. I got into bed and pretended to sleep on my back.
Whether Reza knew it or not that I was pretending to be asleep, but when he was about to kiss me on the forehead, he accidentally touched the bruise on my back. I hissed, grimacing in pain. Then, he swiftly examined my wound and found the bruise. He compresses. And I let him do that.
"I'm sorry" his voice was soft and very slow.
Don't expect me to forgive you that easily. It won't be able to.
After compressing my bruise, he covered my shirt, tidied up my blanket, and lay tight on me. He slept while hugging me. I let it go too. Although the hug is not as comfortable as usual. A hug that's usually warm, but this time...
It's disgusting!
