Remorse

You stay down upon the ground, those hot tears acidic on your soft cheeks as they drip downwards, chest heaving as you try to control your breathing. The baby gives a kick, squirming restlessly in your belly but none of that familiar pleasure you get from it rises up. Instead you place a hand on the taut orb, eyes squeezed tightly shut as though to try to get rid of everything happening around you.

It isn't long before you feel arms around you, initially making you recoil but there isn't much you can do when Alex wants a hug. "Summer.. please, I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry..." he murmurs into your ear, the warmth of his bare body enveloping you. "that... that was fucked up of me, I just..." He fumbles for some sort of excuse, but there wasn't much to dredge up from what had just happened. After a few moments he stops, letting out a heavy sigh, his weight growing a bit heavier on you as he buries his head in your shoulder. "Stop... j-just stop it, get off of me" you mumble shakily, hands on his chest to push him away but in your state, tear-streaked and on your knees, it didn't take much to hold his ground. He drinks in the smell of your hair, kissing at your neck slowly, the sensation making your body heat up a little against your will. "stop.." you sigh a final time, his hands running down your back. God dammit. He was such an idiot...but he knew what made you tick, and even now you could feel any resentment you had towards him cheating ebbing away. It wasn't his fault...well, not ENTIRELY his fault. even if she hadn't bewitched him, he wasn't the kind of guy to say no to a bombshell at his door looking to fuck.

Then.. he did something you weren't expecting. It began soft, little heaves in his chest, then his large hands grasping onto your back, digging into your shirt as he pulls you in tightly. "Fuck.." he whispered into your ear, a shaky breath leaving his lips before hiking up again into a sob. He.. he was crying. You blink, then a couple more times to help the tears still clogging your eyes slip out as his broad, toned shoulders heaved and trembled. "holy shit I'm sorry" he grunted into your neck, the sobs cresting and moving through him before slowly subsiding.

He finally sits up, his cheeks red with both the emotion and embarrassment as he wipes at an eye, one hand still holding onto your thigh. "You uh, you didn't see that" he mumbles before glances away, then shifts in a little closer on his knees. You move back a little, still quite shaken, though focusing on Alex made things a little less confusing, straightforward for now. He stops his advances for the time being, letting out another sigh before looking up into your eyes, able to keep his gaze surprisingly focused. "I.. should not have done that" he states.
