Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

107. Foreboding

Rowan

It’s beca two days since the truth came out, and I still can’t get over the kiss.

When I dipped my head to kiss Ava, I expected her to push me away. Worse, to slap me. I can’t deny that I was surprised when she let me kiss her. That surprise soon turned into happiness and

joy.

I can’t fucking believe that I went so long without her kisses. Her lips were soft, and her mouth is addictive. I could spend my entire life just kissing her, and I would be happy.

Again, I say, I was fucking foolish. Every time I denied Ava a kiss when we were married, I thought I was punishing her. I didn’t realize what I was missing out on. For that, I will always be regretful because I missed out on so many things.

I’m currently in my office, and I can’t focus for shit. I have business meetings in the next few days,

yet the only thing that played in my mind is that kiss.

I feel like a fucking teenager all over again. Kissing her and then having her reciprocate was similar to the thrill of getting a first kiss from a girl. It left me excited. I felt like I was on top of the

world

“What has you grinning like an idiot?” Gabe’s voice interrupts me.

I look up just as he drops on the seat in front of my desk.

“Nothing” I say, clearing my throat.

“That’s definitely something. If I have to guess, then I think it’s something related to Ava

I don’t say anything, but we know that he is spot on.

“So what happened?” he asks curiously.

I debate whether to tell him. Finally I give in. He was my twin. What is the use of hiding it from

him?

“I kissed Ava and she fucking let me” I tell him proudly.
