Cruel Destiny

Natasha POV

For some seconds, I was surprised and I didn't know what to do.

Should I push him? Or should I kiss him back? These questions were roaming in my head, making me baffled.

I got over that shock when he pulled back. I looked at his face and he seemed.... happy.

His face had much emotion like happiness, contentment, relief, and on the other hand, I had no impression on my face.

I was very confused and I don't know how to talk to him after that awkward moment.

I have never felt that he had that kind of feeling for me. Maybe because I was so lost in my grief that I had ignored his feelings.

"I... " I started to say something but couldn't utter a single word.

"I am sorry, Tasha. I shouldn't have kissed you like that. I know you are hurting and I just, I am sorry." He apologized with a sigh.

He then stared into my eyes and said "I love you, Natasha. I fell for you when I saw you for the first time. You were looking so afraid and confused. I felt an immense need to protect you from everyone."

I bit my lips to stop myself from breaking his heart. I know how it felt when your heart got broken.

And I don't want that for him. He doesn't deserve that pain and he doesn't deserve someone like me.

"It's okay. I know you are scared right now. I will never force you, Tasha. You can take all the time you want. I am here for you." He whispered with a small smile.

I shook my head while trying to stop myself from crying, I said "I am sorry."

A sob left my lips and I continued "I don't have any feeling for you. I always considered you my friend. I am sorry."

I wanted to hate myself when I saw the painful expression on his face. He was looking just like I was. Heartbroken.

"Just give me a chance. I will never let you regret your decision, Tasha. I understand that you are scared, but please don't shut me out." He pleaded

He took a step toward me and stood very close to me and put his hand on my stomach.

Scarlett chose that moment to let her presence known. She kicked softly when she felt his hand on my stomach.

"If it's about Scarlett, then I promise you that I will take care of her too. I am ready to be her father. I will never let her know or feel that she isn't my daughter." He said softly while caressing my belly.
