Chapter 167: Because You Gave Me A Reason To

"What is wrong with you?" He asked in a tone that told her just how much he was controlling himself from devouring her.

"What?!" She raised her eyebrow in a questioning manner, and Adrik's face contorted into one that held deep irritation. "Don't try to tempt me this morning, Leia. Let me be." He drew back to get off her, but she pulled him down, not letting him go. "We need to talk!" 

Adrik narrowed his orifices at her, and she rolled her eyes at him. "Seriously, we need to. You have to hear me out before being unnecessarily angry at me." She gazed at him with pleading in her eyes, and a deep breath left Adrik's nose.

He got off her and made his way to the sofa, then sat down and crossed his legs. Leia stood up from the bed and strolled over to him. She took a seat beside him, then grabbed his hands and gently began to caress them.

"Adrik, do you think that I don't really love you?" She inquired, her gaze fixed on the glass window.

Adrik blinked his eyes and took a low breath. "I don't know... You may or may not."

"And why do you think that way?" 

"Because you gave me a reason to." He shrugged as he said, and she turned to stare at him. "How exactly?"

Adrik shut his eyes and took a subtle breath. "You never defend me. You know, it's not only when you hug and comfort someone that you show you love the person. Some little acts which you don't even think are worth it, may be the only thing that will let me know how much you love me." A half-pessimistic smile formed on his lips, and his eyes dwindled a bit. "You know, I saw you guys at the liquor store that day and I heard every conversation. While he insulted me, you never even tried to defend me or anything like that, you just kept quiet. It got me really pissed off, but then I shrugged it off because I believed you loved me, or so I thought."

"Adrik, you know, I—"

"Then at the restaurant. While you knew he was in the wrong and how mad I can get when it comes to you, you still defended him, making me the bad person. Who would tolerate such nonsense? Ruining someone's breakfast. Not only did you do that, you even tried to take his wife from him. Okay, it seems that was not enough. Your wife even turned against you, defending the moron and making you a bad person. " 

"Alright, he tolerated that too, but then his wife invited him to the hospital to come to see the moron, and what he walked in on was the moron kissing his precious wife. How does the story sound to you? " He turned his head to gaze at her and half smiled at her.

A quick breath escaped Leia's mouth and she stared at him with her lips apart. "I... i-"

"Short of words, aren't you?" Adrik sneered at her and returned his gaze to the glass window. "You don't have to be. I am only hurt because I love you more than my life. You're like the air that I breathe, but now I feel like it's all gone. But don't worry, I'll probably get over it." He proceeded to stand up from the couch, but Leia held firmly onto his arm, telling him to stay.

Adrik turned his head to look at her, and his eyes fluttered at seeing tears streaming down her face. 

Leia reached out her hand and gently caressed his cheek. "Adrik, do you really want to know just how much I love you?"

Adrik gazed at her and uttered not a single word. 

She stood up from the couch and sat down on his lap, then cupped his cheeks with her hand. "I love you more than anything. More than... my own life. "

"I would do anything for you, Adrik. Even if I ever have to sacrifice myself for you, I will do it without doubt or second thought. You're my world and a part of me that I would not be able to live without. You're the only person I will never bear to lose, and I never will. In fact, I don't think that words can describe just how much I love you, Adrik." She gazed into his green eyes and leaned down closer to his ear, then whispered to him. "Please forgive me. I...am sorry." She hugged him tightly and nuzzled his neck.

Adrik's eyes trembled, and a deep breath left his nose. A smile slowly crept onto his lips, and he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her back. "I... I forgive you, little wife." The moment the sentence left Adrik's lips, an abrupt scream of joy erupted from Leia's throat. "Yes!!! He called me, "LITTLE WIFE AGAIN!" She cupped his cheeks with her hands and began to place lovely kisses all over his face. 

"Eww... you're leaving spittle all over my face." Adrik wiped his face, and she chuckled at him. "Please don't ever call me Leia again." She said in a serious tone, and Adrik's face altered in confusion. "Isn't that your name?"

"So what if it's my name!! From the first day we met, you began to call me, little wife, and never for once did you call me, Leia. So you calling me Leia all of a sudden either means you are angry with me or you don't love me anymore." She explained, with seriousness evident on her face.

Adrik's eyes fluttered in deep confusion, and he couldn't help but ask himself. 'Do all women feel this way too?' He slightly shook his head and raised his eyes to stare at her. 

Leia smiled lovingly at him and leaned down, then tenderly placed her lips on his and kissed him passionately. "I love you, Adrik." She said, and Adrik smiled against her lips, then stood up from the sofa with her in his arms. 

He walked towards the bed and laid her down on her back, then assessed her from head to toe. "I wouldn't have done this, this morning as I had work to do, but you made me like this, so...." He smirked wickedly at her, and Leia narrowed her eyes at him.
