Chapter 5

Author's P O V 

Sebastian got up from his seat while looking at Jasmine, who was still glaring at him, clenching her hand in a fist to keep herself from breaking down. From showing her vulnerable side to him again or jumping on him.

He slid his right hand inside his pocket like he didn't care and took a step closer to her with his eyes still on her, not caring about anything, and then replied in his mocking voice, "What are you glaring at?" His voice hardened while his eyes flashed the pain he went through or is still going through because of Jasmine, and he continued, "Shouldn't I be the one to do it after everything you put me through?". 

Her hand clenched even harder as she didn't know how to handle those memories that had been flowing back with each of his words.

"Your designs are as disgusting as you!" He spat those cruel words in pain and not with consciousness. He wants to see her in pain as much as he is going through. As much as he is hurt.

Jasmine's heart stopped for a moment as those words hit harder and broke her heart, even though she prepared herself to hear those cruel words from the only man she ever loved.

He still affects her like he did six years ago; his words, his actions, and everything about him hurt her, but she made herself strong so she wouldn't look weak in front of anyone, especially in front of Sebastian. 

But she didn't let any of them show on her face and took a step towards him, standing so close, and glared back with the same intense anger, saying, "What does it have anything to do with my designs, Mr. Donovan?".

Sebastian's eyes widened a little at her question, but he didn't back down, thinking, "Right. What does it have anything to do with her design? But I... I hate to see her happy while making me go through hell! I am in pain! I can't do anything without her thoughts flashing while she is happy with her new life and a .... a new man!"

"I am someone who believes that their character has a big impact on their art and design, so I don't think someone as loose as you can..."

"Stop!" Jasmine cut Sebastian's words off. Her eyes filled with tears, no matter how hard she tried to hold them back. No matter how hard she tried, she didn't want to cry in front of him. She couldn't bear the pain his words were causing her. 

He froze, and his eyes widened, seeing her tears filling those beautiful eyes, as he didn't think his words would bring tears to her eyes. 

Even though he hated her and wanted to see her suffer, this still hurt him. Those tears turned into a sharp knife and stabbed right into his heart, tarring it into tiny pieces. 

All he wants right now is to stop her tears, but he doesn't know how.

He slipped his free hand was around her waist and pulled her close as her soft chest collided with his hard one. His body moved on its own.

Jasmine's eyes widened as she raised her head to look into his eyes in confusion.

Before she could process what was happening, his lips claimed hers in a possessive kiss filled with dark desire, as if he had been hungry for years. Her eyes widened even more than everything that happened in a split second.

His hands around her waist tighten, pulling her closer to the point where there is no gap for even the air to pass.

She let out a grassp in shock and he took that as an opportunity to let his tongue slide in while devouring her mouth like she belonged to him. 

She let her body lose, closing her eyes, kissing him back, giving in to him as her body and heart wished. 

She doesn't give her brain the time to think of something logical and is going on the flow because she misses him and everything he is doing. 

Her body and heart curve for him no matter how many years they have been away from each other. 

The kiss deepens as he slides his other hand around her waist and secures her in his arms, like he doesn't want to let her go. To hold her like this forever.

Even though both of them are not in their right state of mind, they want to hold each other forever like this without caring about anything... But is that even possible?

After kissing for a few minutes, they let each other's lips go for breathing. Their heavy breaths mixed in the very little gap between them. 

Sebastian raised his right hand to her neck, traced the soft skin of her neck in his hard fingers like it was the most delicate thing he had ever touched, and raised her head to look into his eyes with the fingers. 

They forget everything as they look into each other's eyes filled with love, desire, and finally pain. 

Jasmine pushed him away as she finally realized what she was doing and got so frustrated that she didn't understand anything that's has been going on for the last few minutes. 

"Wha... What was that?!" Sebastian asked in shock as got back to reality from their own world. 

"You should tell that! What the hell was that even?!" Jasmine asked, pushing him away as she couldn't process what had just happened and how could she even kiss him. 

It pushed her to her limits as everything about their past rushed back into her head like a movie. 

Sebastian couldn't understand his feelings and was as frustrated as Jasmine, so he tried to hold her hand to make her talk, but Jasmine's reaction time was faster. 

The moment his hand touched hers, she slapped him, taking her hand back in an impulse. Her eyes widened because she didn't want to do it. 

Sebastian's face is turned to the left side in the impact of the slap and his anger is rising so high that he knows he can't control it. 

"What the hell did you think you were doing?! You fucking kissed me back! Don't act as if I forced you! Or are you trying to act like a victim like you did before?!" His voice was so calm and angry, not realizing any of the words that just came out. 

Her eyes widened as they again filled with tears, breaking down in pain.
