BOSS LOVE LESSONS [completed]

Chapter 36

Aurora Atticus's POV

I followed Zed outside and walked up to him quietly. My head filled with all the different scenarios and arguments that could possibly happen.

"Zed-" I started. 

"It's not me that you wanted" He said immediately and leaned against the wall as I face towards him. Is he already doing the concluding scene? "Do you love him?" He asked again. 

"I-" I decided if it is best to be honest. "Yes" I muttered quietly. "But-"

"Your heart never belonged to me. It has only been and always for him. I pretty much understood that Aura" He said calmly. Wait, what? Are we not going to argue over the fact that I cheated on him that night?

"Zed-" I tried again and he cut me off once again.

"Even now, You never tried searching for an explanation from him-- why he was gone and left you. You never tried asking for any reason but your heart simply learned to 'forgive' him" He continued.

"Oh my god Zed why are you suddenly saying all these-" I rambled on, getting quire irritated because he's been cutting me off since the first word. I am pissed off that Zed is trying to be calm when clearly, he's heartbroken. It's written on his face.

"I want the best for you even if you are not mine" He said and looked directly into my eyes. "I told you before Aura, I want you to try for us. You tried, it didn't work-- but I am more than contented with what we managed to share. Honestly, it's disappointing to know what had happened that night between you and him but-"

"Zed, stop" I warned him. But to my surprise, he took a step forward towards me. "Remember the conversation we once had? I told you before, your happiness is the utmost importance to me" He continued.

"Stop!" I pushed him away, "Why are you saying all these? Why are you pushing me away to him when I had chosen you?" I argued.

"Because it's not what your heart agreed on. You and I both know that"

"But-" I tried to argue, but no words could cover any of it. I couldn't even lie. "I'm sorry, Zed. I am really sorry. I really tried to-"

"Then that's enough for me" He cut me off, for the countless time, and patted my head. "You tried, that's enough for me. You apologise for your mistake, I accept it. So Aura, do me a favour now and be honest of your feelings. To him" Zed advised.

How in the hell did he even have the mood to say something like this during this time. I can't believe him. He's so selfless it's making me triple the times more guilty than I should be. But yet I couldn't do anything to help him lighten the feelings of hurt and disappointment. 

"Ah, I have an appointment to go now. I'll see you soon, Aura. But not too soon. I need time to heal" He said cooly, and looked over my shoulder, "Aomine, get a firm hold of Aura" He said and started walking away as I stood there dumb-founded and rooted. Is he behind me? No, it can't be. Well, it can be!

I turned around and true enough, Aomine is standing there with Scarlett by his side-- who's already glaring at me. "Congratulations Aura, you've just been awarded by me for the most selfish and cruel bitch ever" Scarlett spoke and chased after Zed who had walked away while Aomine stood there and look at me. She is right. I've been selfish; too selfish.

Aomine continued looking at me without saying a word; which makes me wonder how long exactly had they--or rather he-- been there?

"Hey" I muttered quietly, the very genius greeting I could think of right now. I can't even face this man. I have hurt him way too much, used him that night and abandon him cruelly. 

"You've been very dishonest" He said and made an eye contact with me while I looked at him quizzically. What is he even talking about? My heart started racing. How could this even happen without even him saying anything important? He managed to control my emotions, my feelings.

But... I've been really bad and In fact, I don't deserve him at all. 

"I am sorry" I blurted out. Wow, I am definitely being honest right now.

"You've saying a lot of that lately" He said. "Are you going to push me away again?" He paused, "Or are you going to be honest with your feelings?" He offered.

Huh?

"Start answering me honestly, Aurora" He said cooly. "Was it a mistake that night?" 

"No" 

His face lighten up, his eyes a little more alive than before.

"Did it mean nothing to you?"

"It meant something to me" I replied.

"Do you love me?" 

I looked at his eyes who's fixed on mine, searching for an answer. I don't know if I could really answer him honestly because let's be truthful here, I don't deserve all these love from him. But, who am I kidding actually? I really do love him.

"Yes, I love you" I admitted, and as if on cue, he leans forward and pressed himself against me-- who's trapped by the wall on my back. 

"You don't know how long I've waited to hear that from you" He said and kisses me, hard.

Confused to how love can be so easily 'forgivable' and amazed by his ability to melt me down instantly and take all my negative thoughts away, I closed my eyes and let that kiss burn me-- to nothing but his. To the familiarity. To love.
