HIS DARK HORSE

DAVINA'S POV:-

"Malia, please be careful with those flowers!" I said when I noticed her carrying them carelessly, I walked towards her and took them from her hands and inhaled the fragrance of them.

"Allen loves their fragrance," I smiled as I imagined his reaction when he comes in, "Please, place them there," I asked while pointing my finger at the flower pot.

It was our second marriage anniversary, two happy years of our marriage. It was like we just got married yesterday, Time seems to flow faster than we thought.

I still remember how we met, we were dance partners back at college, we became friends through everyday dance practice and one day he confessed his feelings for me and asked me to be his girlfriend.

Who would say no to such a kind and decent guy? I was already attracted to him when I first saw him, it didn't take me a sec to say yes. We loved each other for 3 years before getting married. On my twenty-first birthday, he proposed to me and I said yes! We got married after we both got jobs and were financially stable.

Our love for each other grew day by day and every single day that I spent being his wife, I realized how lucky I am to live such an amazing life. Being with him keeps me alive and just thought of me being away from him kills me inside, he was a drug that I got addicted to.

"Mam! Everything is set!" Malia said, walking to me, I looked around and smiled in satisfaction,

"I'm excited!" I said while turning to Malia,

"Davina!" I heard Allen calling me, I quickly walked towards the main door, and I noticed him walking inside while rolling his sleeves up, I stood there and watched him walk to me, "I'm so sorry..." I was waiting for him to look up but he wasn't, "...I was in a meeting! I couldn't answer your calls," he walked up to me and claimed my lips.

He kissed me while wrapping his hands around my waist and pulling me close to him, "I'm sorry," he said while we parted away, his baby brown eyes which radiated warmth were staring at me in a way that I had to forgive him.

"It's okay!" I smiled, and he took my chin and gave a peek on my lips, as he turned to walk to our bedroom he noticed the decoration. He quickly turned around and looked at me in pure surprise, "It's our anniversary!" He was so happy, his eyes said it all, he walked to me and pulled me towards him while wrapping his arms around me.

"I love you!" he said, staring down at me with adoration in his eyes while kissing my forehead,

"I love you, too" I replied,

***

As I opened my eyes, tears began filling up, I still remember every single detail, even though it has been four years since we got divorced. I hate him! I hate him for what he has done to me, my hatred for him runs deep and it's impossible for me to forget his face.

This hatred and pain that grew inside me won't let me live and wouldn't let me die!

I took a deep breath and got up from my bed, I walked straight to my bathroom and did my morning routine. I stepped out with a towel wrapped around my body and got dressed in my business attire while putting on my makeup. 

My baby brown eyes stared right back at me with no life in them, and my middle-length dark brown, almost black hair was combed neatly and reached my chest. A sigh escaped from my lips when I noticed my pet cat, Dulo, walking inside while putting my red high heels on. I walked to him and picked him up.

"What are you doing here!" I asked while stroking his back, he looked at me and mews, his very unique eyes, his one eye was forest green and the other one was violet. They're so beautiful that it can make anyone stare at them, The cat was a delicate shade of gray, so soft that even in broad daylight he looked like a shadow rather than a feline.

I love him!

As I walked out towards the dining room, I saw Bella placing breakfast on the table, "Good morning, Davina!" she greeted me as she noticed me walking towards her with Dulo.
