tried to sound strong. If he was cheating on her, she knew she'd break down easily. She loved him so.
“What's this about, Baby?” He stood up from his seat and walked to his bedroom. He did not like Juliana's tone at all. She sighed.
“I-I visited you earlier in the hospital today and saw you and Joana kissing...” she recalled, making him curse under his breath.
There was no denying that it happened. He could still remember how her lips felt on his. Although he knew it was wrong to be kissing another, there was a point when he actually enjoyed it.
“I'm sorry, Baby. I don't deny it. It really happened. It was a temporary moment of weakness. It won't happen again,” he explained to her.
Despite the fact that he was in his bedroom, Joana could hear what he was saying. Although hurt to be called a temporary moment of weakness, she was determined to put that all behind her. She wanted to be a more permanent person his life whether he wanted to or not.
“Did you or did you not enjoy your kiss?” she asked boldly as she tried to stop the tears from falling down her cheeks.
“Jules, it was just a kiss. Don't be so overly dramatic!” he said, irritated. His tone had been annoyed and she was not happy that he was being this way instead of just telling her the truth.
“If it was just a kiss then why don't you just answer the question?” she wondered as she tried to remain calm. He let out a frustrated sigh on the other line before responding to her.
“Yes, I did. I enjoyed it. I know it was not right but what's done is done. I can't do anything about it anymore,” he said as Juliana sighed.
He was right. Even she knew this as she had kissed another man twice and enjoyed it too. Remembering Gabriel and his intoxicating kisses, she was confused.
“Michael, I think we should take time to cool off. We haven't been functioning well as a couple lately. Our relationship isn't exactly as perfect as we both want it to be. I hate being the last on your priority list.” She finally said it after all these years, and although it pained Michael to hear what she said, he knew deep inside that she was right.
“How long do you need a time off from me? From us?” he asked sadly.
He did not want to lose her, but if this was the only way to keep her, he would let it happen. At this time, Joana looked interested in hearing what they were talking about. This time off from each other was a perfect time for her to snatch him away from her after all.
“Honestly, I don't know. It could take a couple of days or weeks. I just want us to really think about ourselves and our relationship,” she explained.
“Are you breaking up with me?” he dared to ask, and he felt like holding his breath as he waited for her response.
“Temporarily, at least. This relationship has turned sour through the years. I wish it didn't but it has. I don't want to always keep on waiting for you and then nothing,” she said exasperatedly, which angered Michael.
“I will not accept this, Jules. I won't lose you! But if this cool off or whatever you call it is what you want then, I'll let it slide, but does this mean we can see other people during this period?” he asked, a twinge of pain pinching his heart. He did not know what to expect. Maybe he just didn't want to hear the word yes.
“I don't know. Maybe. I haven't thought about this thoroughly yet,” she said honestly.
“I'm going to come over tonight and make it up to you. None of this nonsense, Jules. You know you want me and you need me.”
She did want him and need him, which made him dangerous to her. She knew that if he would come over and try to talk to her, she would yield. The moment when he started kissing her, caressing her, doing wicked things with her, she would forget everything that had happened, what he had done to make her doubt their relationship. Although she just wanted to forget
