I Am The Luna

65. A Letter ZAIA. or I Am The Luna Chapter 143 By Moonlight Muse

My heart’s pounding as I gaze into his eyes, those piercing blue that make my heart implode, his touch is driving me crazy, and his scent is like a drug, sending me onto cloud nine.

His words echo like a whispered lullaby and my gaze dips to his lips.

Where do we go from here…

I slowly wrap my hand around his wrist as I look into his eyes.

I want to follow my heart…

“Why do you still love me?” I ask softly, trying to find the answer in his eyes.

I still love him, despite the years gone by. I love him with every fibre of my being, and he has always affected me.

He grips the side of my face, his thumb caressing my cheek.

“What’s not to love?” he counters.

I’m not perfect, no one is, but we are imperfectly perfect together…

“Only someone in love would say that.” I whisper, “Tell me… have you forgiven yourself?”

He frowns as he looks down. “I hurt you countless times, betrayed your trust and left you when you needed me I don’t think that’s something that can be forgotten or forgiven.”

“But you paid the price… no matter how much it hurt you, you have given me the time I’ve asked for. The time that I needed… Your acceptance is enough to cut yourself some slack.”

“I told myself that I would give you all the time in the world, and… I told myself if we were meant to be, that we’d find our way to one another again. If not… then it just isn’t meant to be…” he says quietly, swallowing hard as he tries to contain his emotions.

His words resonate with my soul.

Sebastian, too, needed to heal and not blame himself. His sacrifice – his patience with me, knowing that we may never be… I appreciated it. I appreciate him.

This time I know I don’t need to tell him about being honest or trusting because there’s no doubt that he will be. This time I just know it.

He’s changed. Over the years I’ve seen that in him. We’ve learned from our past and learned from our mistakes.

“So, I guess we have our answer…” I say quietly, feeling my cheeks burn as a slow, sexy smirk crosses his lips.
