Sinfully Yours by Mirah Selim (sites to read books for free TXT) 📖

"No, it's small to me." Hazel glared at him groaning in annoyance. She pushed his fingers off hers and motioned him to do as she said. Shaking his head at her childish behavior he wrapped his pinkie which was wider than her thumb and equally long to her index finger making her huff at how small her finger is.

But ignoring it she looked up at him. "Now you have to promise me something." He smiled at her.

"Ok, I promise you." Hazel chuckled.

"How can you promise without hearing what I have to say?" He leaned his upper body closer to her staring deeply into her eyes. His face hover over hers as he leaned his face a little down to come closer to hers.

"You can even ask for my life. I will give it up for you without asking for a reason." Hazel's smile slowly faded away freezing up in her place as she stared into his eyes not able to find any word to say further.

Their fingers stayed joined together as their eyes gazed at each other in pure silence. Something about his words made her stare at him for assurance like she wanted to find how sincere he was in his words and he was indeed sincere. His eyes screamed it openly.

Finally, after a few minutes, she came out of her daze gulping down. She blinked a few times before looking at him.

"Promise me if someday I couldn't be with you, you wouldn't stop living. You wouldn't go back to surviving this life. Live your life even if I am not with you because this life is yours and you should be the one to cherish it the most." Even though Cyrus's mind protested hearing her as he had already made up his mind that no matter what happened she will never leave him but something about her words made his heart shut his mind off.

She didn't say that she will leave him but instead she just wanted him to promise her to not become the monster he used to be if she wouldn't be near him. He knew in her eyes he still hasn't erased the image of a beast he had made but still something in her tone, in her eyes, and her words were different.

"Life is unpredictable Cyrus. We don't know what might happen in the future that's why I want you to understand that I am not the one for whom you have to live. You need to live for yourself." Hazel fell silent as she felt his finger loosening over hers but he didn't pull it back.

Cyrus stared at her for some minutes and he knew the look she gave him. Hazel felt internally sad when she thought that he might pull his finger back but was left surprised when he suddenly tightened his finger over hers once again making her snap her eyes to his.

He smiled. "I promise."

His one whisper was enough to make her smile widely at him. Even though there was something different in his eyes but she was unable to identify it.

They both smiled at each other through the dimmed light of the lamp letting this moment freeze for some time.
