Chapter 0438 "Then what do you want? Because you are honestly confusing me here," I tell him honestly.
"You. I want you, Harper." I pull my hand from his and straighten in my chair, while looking at him suspiciously.
"You have to realize just how unbelievable you sound right now. You didn't want me back then. You never wanted me and even went to great heights to drive in the point. How the hell do you expect me to believe that all of a sudden you now want me?" Is it wrong that I'm suspicious of him? That I'm suspicious of his end game. That I'am afraid he could just be charming me Just to get into my pants, That he was playing a game with me. I don't think I could handle it if that turns out to be case
It would shatter me.
He stares at me in an intense way. His "eyes stay on me for a couple of minutes as if he's trying to find the right words.
I "Idon't know what to say, Harper. I don't I I even think I can explain it to you given i that I barely understand it myself," he explains in a soft voice. "All I know is that I want you, and not just your body," Given our marriage before, I was skeptical. I found it hard to believe his words. To believe that he wants me when he used to drill into me that he never would.
"I don't know what I am supposed to do with that, Gabriel. I don't know what you want from me." "Just give me a chance. That's all I ask," he says, taking my hand again.
I'am so fucking confused, so instead of saying anything, I keep quiet, I am not
really sure I'm ready to give him a chance. Hell, I am not even sure I should give him a chance.
I can't and won't even try to deny the attraction I felt towards him. It's there, I like a blazing inferno that was ready to } I consume me, but was that enough? I Should that passion be reason enough to give him a chance? I'm saved from the awkwardness of not answering when the waiter serves our food.
We eat and make small talk, and I slowly start to relax and let go of the tension that had eased itself in my bones.
"So, what's your favorite thing to do when you have free time?" Gabriel asks when we are done with dinner.
"Sleeping," I answer without even thinking about it.
He grins at me, and he looks nothing like
a powerhouse, instead he looks boyish.
"Really?" "Definitely," I laugh. "Maybe I was-acat in my former life." At my words, he throws back his head and I laughs. His laugh is so deep and beautiful that for a moment I just stare at him mesmerized.
"Is something wrong?" his voice unfreezes me and I shake my head.
"No," I reply "There is no problem at all." The rest of the evening is spent in a comfortable atmosphere as we talked and just enjoyed each other's company, something I never thought would happen.
By the time we leave the restaurant, it's already late into the night. Since it was chilly outside, Gabriel takes his coat off and drapes it over my shoulders,
He helps me inside the car, but doesn't Start the car immediately after he gets in.
\ He turns to me with a serious expression.
