Chapter 75

Liam had fallen asleep, it was early morning and Emma was awake, she hadn't been able to fall asleep at all, she had too many thoughts to make it. She had laid down on the bed, wearing one of the baggy pajamas she usually wore, while he slept placidly, with his eyes tightly closed as well as his lips.
Emma sat down on the bed, careful enough not to wake the blond, then she began to contemplate him. What did she feel for him? She liked him, she couldn't deny it, she liked him, if something bad happened to him, it would be a horrible tragedy, she felt that he wasn't like Leonardo in any aspect, that if he opened himself to receive Liam's love -if she felt love and not just desire- things wouldn't happen again, but she also felt that it was too soon for everything, the love she felt for Leonardo was buried in the rubble of her heart, but from time to time, there was a wound that hurt a little, the tumultuous memories did not leave her in peace, because the fear that Liam wanted the same thing that Leonardo had wanted -control over her, over her body- tormented her, nothing told her that the blond lying next to her really loved her, it had been just a kiss, he was behaving childishly, she could not help it, Leonardo had left in her, a lot of indelible traces.
Many more than she knew.
