All Chapters of Hush, Baby: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

It is a turmoil of feelings inside me, and I am afraid that the moment he releases me from the safety of his embrace, all these feelings would come rushing towards me, each wanting a piece of my sanity, each with a list of questions that I have no answer for!And therefore, I don’t let go, at least for a while!We spend a good amount of time in that position, hugging each other in silence, my head pressed against his chest, my tears stopped at one point but I still decide not to let go, instead, I stay like this, for few more minutes, listening to that beating heart of his, enjoying the warmth radiated from his body.“Natalia?” he asks with a sw

Come on, Natalia, one step at the time, and then one bite at the time, and you would be done with it! I tell myself reassuringly while looking at the room for one last time.That spooky uncomfortable feeling is no longer there, I feel pretty normal about the room itself, the previous discomfort is gone but a new one settles in, the fact that I didn’t remember anything!I was hoping that I would be having one of those flashbacks but nothing happened, all I got from this visit was Nate’s not so convincing side of the story, a heartbreak that I am going to cry out of my system later, and a lot of hugs and caresses which I know I would blame myself for once my head hits the pillow.
