Again, I have to fight the urge to shudder as he steps up behind me. I avoid looking at his gaze in the mirror because I know my eyes will show all the lies I’m keeping. He presses a kiss to my head, and I slowly relax and lean back against him.
Reaching for my toothbrush, I quickly clean my teeth. He spins me around to face him and presses a soft kiss to my lips. I swallow down the bile once more, praying I don’t throw up on him. His temper is so precarious, and I really don't want to aggravate him again.
“I need to change,” I mumble, and he nods before dropping to his knees in front of me. I freeze, my heart races, and I feel like I’m going to puke again.Please. Please don’t propose to me. Don’t take away one of the only good memories I have from the old days.
He lifts the tank top from my stomach and presses a kiss on my belly button. He glances up at me with tears in his eyes. My pulse races and my legs become weak.
No, no. I shake my head, and he gives me a huge smile. I need air. I need space. I’m about to pass out.
“No, Rex,” I whimper, and he stands, pulling me into his arms. I go limp, and he holds me up. My vision starts to fade, and I give in to the darkness as he whispers into my ear, “Now, I’ll always be with you. I’m inside of you.”
