Chapter 151: Chapter 151

Amelia's POV

For the next three days, I worked like an automaton and continued to live in our apartment waiting for Tristan's return. He was supposed to return yesterday but after a whole day's wait, when he didn't, I was upset. I didn't call him as he didn't call me at all. It was true that I missed him but I was mad at him for breaking a promise. I wanted him to realize what he had done. I had no idea if mom had spoken to him or not.

I made dinner and sat watching a movie so that I didn't doze off to sleep. It was the fourth day since Tristan had left and I was certain that he would return today. A soft caress on my cheek made me open my tired eyes. Was I dreaming? I might have dozed off to sleep while watching the TV and waiting for Tristan. I blinked seeing Tristan standing in front of me as if he had just come in.

"Jay?" I gasped, unable to believe that he was really here. Or was I dreaming?

"Yes, Baby doll. Come here," he said, opening his arms out to me. I got up and immediately clung to him, embedding my face into his neck. I had missed him so much. He wrapped his arms around me and held me to him. "I missed you so much," he whispered.

"I missed you too," I told him, my voice breaking a little.

"I'm sorry for what I said to you. I didn't mean it at all. It was just that I was going crazy at the thought of leaving you. I can't stay without you, Amy," he said, holding onto my cheeks and looking deeper into my eyes. I nodded. I knew.

"I'm sorry too. If I would have known before I wouldn't have taken up the extra work. You're my priority, Jay. I would love to accompany you everywhere but I need planning. I feel lost if a sudden plan crops up. It's the same with your business. The only difference is you have your brothers and dad to support you while I have no one," I explained to him. He nodded in understanding.

"I know, love. I know. I was the one being selfish. I realized it the moment I reached my hotel. I take back all my words. I know I've hurt you," he said tenderly. It melted my heart and I clung to him more.

"It's okay, Jay. We've learned one thing from this. It's no use hurting the other as it's us who get hurt in the process. You and I are one, we might not be together all the time but our hearts are always with one another. It doesn't matter if we stay apart for a few days due to work. We'll always make it up to each other when we meet," I told him. His eyes glittered with excitement.

"I couldn't agree more, Amy. So let's make it up to one another, shall we?" he asked looking excited as well as amused. I smiled at his antics. From the entire speech, it seemed as if he had heard only that bit.

"We shall but dinner first," I told him, releasing him. I was dying of hunger having waited for him for so long. His eyes brightened up at the mention of food.

"Have you cooked for me?" he asked with disbelief. I nodded with a smile walking towards the kitchen to serve the food.

"How did you know that I would be returning today?" he asked with more disbelief. I shrugged.

"I just felt that you would come home tonight. Don't ask me how. Maybe my heart knew," I told him with a grin. His eyes widened and he grinned too.

"I love you so much," he whispered, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I love you too, Jay," I whispered back.

"That won't do, show me," he told me.

"I will," I promised, serving us dinner. We went to the dining table and sat down to eat. Tristan told me about his trip and I told him about my visit to Anna's house. He smiled hearing about mom's threat to scold him.

"Both mom and gran scolded me for being a d*ck to you," he told me and we laughed.

"Serves you right," I said and we ate and laughed and joked. I was glad that we had solved our differences. It was back to normal with him. After dinner, he went to shower and change while I quickly finished cleaning up.

When I went to the bedroom, he was relaxed and lying down on the bed, waiting for me. "Time to fulfill your promise, Baby doll," he said with a wink.

"I need a shower first," I told him. He groaned and got up. I knew what he was about to do so I ran into the en-suite but he just caught me and carried me to the bed. "Tristan please," I squealed and he laughed.

"No, Amelia, I don't care if you're dirty. You're smelling sweet anyhow," he laughed, depositing me on our bed. I waited eagerly for him to initiate our lovemaking but he just stared into my eyes and waited.

"What? Strip already?" I asked shyly.

"No, I'm waiting for you to initiate. I want to see how much you want me, how much you have missed me," he said stubbornly. I smiled, that was easy! I just let down my inhibitions and took off his clothes one by one. He lay quietly, watching me with hooded eyes making me extremely nervous.

"Please close your eyes, Jay," I said, blushing furiously. He shook his head.

"No, I want to see how much you've missed me," he whispered. I slowly stripped off my clothes, his warm gaze roaming all over me, making a deep flush creep up from my feet and spread everywhere.

I claimed his lips afterwards as we lay skin to skin on the bed at last. His hands roamed all over me and he flipped me and pinned me to the bed, not able to wait any longer. I smiled into the kiss and he groaned and captured my lips in a hungry and passionate kiss. I eagerly parted my lips and he plunged his tongue into my mouth. We kissed like it was our last, like there was no tomorrow, like thirsty souls in a desert. His hand touched my wet, dripping folds.

"So, wet," he said against my lips, reclaiming my mouth again. My hand roamed around his body, touching his chest, then down to his belly and he groaned, kissing me more hungrily. I touched him there, feeling his aroused state and he released my mouth as a deep groan escaped him.

"So hard," I murmured, making him suck in his breath and grab my wrist.

"Stop, I need to be inside you, Baby doll," he ground out, positioning himself above me without waiting for an answer. We made love lingeringly, proving to one another just how much we missed each other. I moaned with pleasure as he increased his rhythm, thrusting in and out of me, making me clutch at his head, his shoulders as a tornado formed at the pit of my stomach waiting for my release. Finally, we climaxed together and lay against one another, sated and completely at peace with ourselves. I was glad that we were together again. We would never let these little downs come in between us. We have come a long way and we would always sort out all misunderstandings.

"You broke a promise, Jay. Promise me that you'll never break another," I said in a whisper.

"I'm sorry that I did. Forgive me, please? I promise that I'll never break another," he said, pulling me tightly to him.

I smiled happily. "When is your next work trip?" I asked.

"I'll tell you a week ahead," he said, knowing what I had implied. A smile broke out on his lips as we wished one another good night and dozed off to sleep.
