27 Tip of the Iceberg (1/2)
YVE's POV
I have to tell him everything. So while I was hugging him after telling him the result of my CT scan, I said,
”Vince, I have something to tell you.”
I was interrupted when Vince's phone rang. He got his phone from the pocket of his pants. I felt his head move so I assume he looked at the caller ID. He then tossed his phone to Edward.
Then, I heard the door opened and closed. Edward must have left the room to answer the phone call. Not moving one bit from our position, I asked,
”Who was that? If that was business you should have answered it.”
”Well, you can say that. But it's not important. It's my private time already, YOU are my priority.”
Hearing him say that, made me blush and I can imagine myself resembling a tomato in color.
”But what if it's important?”
”Edward will do something about it. If he can't handle it, tomorrow morning would be the soonest time he will ask for my help.”
”He is really reliable, right?”
”Yeah. I am thankful that I always have him by my side.”
We continue to embrace each other in silence as I was preparing my thoughts when he said,
”I don't mind staying like this forever but if I remembered correctly, you have something to say to me, right?”
He tried to remove my hands and made me face him but I insisted our position to remain that way.
”Just let me embrace you. I'm afraid that I can't finish the things I want to say to you if you can see my face in the process.”
”Okay, then.”
Now that we're alone. It is much more easier to tell him the truth.
”So, what do you want to say?” Vince asked.
”Don't you have any questions for me?” I asked him. I was expecting him to ask me so many questions.
”I have so many questions. I was waiting for the right time to ask you but I want you to initiate so that you can make the call about the things you want to share.”
”You're really a good guy, Vince.”
”But I can be mean too, especially if they were mean to me.”
This time, it is my turn to remove my hands to look at him.
”I was mean to you. But why are you not mean to me?”
He cupped my face with his big and warm hands and said,
”Because I know that you have a reason for doing so. I know that you have thought about it and what you did was the best solution you can think of.”
