Chapter 94
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 94<\/p>\n
Lawrence ended Hannah\u2019s call and glanced at the subway entrance. The evening rush was in full swing, the sidewalks crowded with people heading home. He lingered beneath the trees, eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of Bonnie.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d been coming here every evening for a week, waiting for her after work. The thing was, Bonnie never had a set schedule. Some nights, she finished early, and other times she\u2019d work past nine, then grab a taxi. On those late nights, Lawrence would move his wait over to the convenience store by her place. He just hoped for the chance to walk her home or maybe exchange a few words at the apartment gate.<\/p>\n
But Bonnie wouldn\u2019t talk to him. She didn\u2019t even look at him, acting like he was invisible. That hurt like hell. There was frustration, anxiety, a sense of helplessness that made his chest tight. Lawrence honestly had no idea what to do. In the past, even if Bonnie was mad, she never actually froze him out.<\/p>\n
It hadn\u2019t always been like this. Their first real fight happened after Hannah came back from an exchange trip to Russia. One night, Hannah called them up, dragged them and some friends out for karaoke. Lawrence had been running after Hannah since they were little, so naturally, she sent him out on errands that night too. He didn\u2019t have a clue what went down in his absence, but when he got back, Bonnie\u2019s face was like a thundercloud.<\/p>\n
The moment they stepped back into The Observatory, she shoved him hard and called him shameless. Lawrence was stunned and more than a little hurt. He\u2019d spent hours at that karaoke bar trying to cheer her up, and now she was lashing out at him over nothing. He lost his temper too. He grabbed her and leaned in, kissing her with a kind of desperate energy that felt more like wrestling than romance.<\/p>\n
Bonnie wore out pretty quickly, being smaller than him. He had her hands pinned above her head, breathing hard, and when he eased up to kiss her again, he realized she was crying. Not the loud kind\u2014her tears slid silently down her cheeks, her expression all tangled up in hurt and heartbreak. Seeing her like that made his chest ache.<\/p>\n
Lawrence honestly had no idea what mistake he\u2019d made this time. He pulled her close, pressing kisses to her hair, her cheeks, his voice tired and gentle as he asked, \u201cCandie, what did I do wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
All Lawrence could do was gently wipe her tears away, kissing her again and again, telling her he swore he\u2019d never written love letters, that every single romantic word he\u2019d ever spoken was for her, his Candie. He promised he\u2019d never do something as gross as peeking at someone in the shower. If he was really that messed up, they wouldn\u2019t have waited nearly half a year after getting together before sleeping with each other. Every time Bonnie said something hurt or looked even a little uncomfortable, he stopped, no matter how much he wanted her.<\/p>\n
He told her he\u2019d never been good at taking care of people. Everything he\u2019d learned, he\u2019d learned with Bonnie, trial and error. Did she remember that first time he tried to cook for her, when he didn\u2019t even manage to get the meat cooked through?<\/p>\n
Gradually, Bonnie ran out of tears. She wrapped her arms around him, still sniffling, demanding over and over that he tell her he loved her. So Lawrence said it again and again, until his throat was dry and his heart was pounding. That night they hardly took a break, letting all their feelings wash through them in a long blur of making up that left everything else forgotten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-762","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
