@ladykleo what you doing with me? xD
— But did you break up? — said the girl, squeezing the mug.
— Yes, a year and a half ago, — the young man said dryly. — But I do not want to talk about it anymore.
— But you still love her, do not you? — not listening to him, the girl continued. — You always have that look, like you’re waiting for something. Call or that you accidentally meet her in the crowd? Do you think it’s possible that you will be together again?
Gambler jumped up and went to the front door in exasperation. What does he have to answer her? What is really hoping for such an option? But, after studying the nature of the elf a little in two years, he realized that she does not change her decisions. And there is no turning back for him.
He almost reached the door, as he felt the girl’s arms around his waist.
— I’m sorry, Eric, I did not mean to offend you, — she buried her forehead on his back. — I just feel sorry for you, you’re forever lost. It’s hard to part with the person you love, but it becomes easier with time.
Gambler did not say anything, but did not turn away from the girl. Should it become easier? It seems that during this time he only began to love Reth more. It’s some kind of curse.

— Who’s Reth? — Samantha said with a jealous voice and Gambler flinched. Straightened his back and muttered:
— It does not matter. It’s all in the… past.His heart sank painfully and Gambler sighed heavily. Samantha sat opposite him and grabbed a mug of coffee.
— Is this your girlfriend? Have you broken up? — with a drunken interest began to pour questions.
— Do you need to be once again poured with iced water? — the young man asked glumly. — As I say, it does not matter.
— I’m just asking, — the girl pouted. — I thought we were friends.
Friends? Gambler raised an eyebrow. He could not make friends. But maybe he could try?
— Reth, —
he began slowly, twisting the ring on his finger, — this is the woman
with whom I would like to share eternity… if only I could.

He was angry. With difficulty dragging the girl to her apartment, he could not just leave her and go to her. She
foolishly giggled, hung on it and he did not deny himself the slight
pleasure of shoving her under the shower in his clothes and turning on
the cold water. She squealed, but Gambler mercilessly poured her with ice water.After a while he turned off the water and threw a towel at her.
— Take off your clothes and wipe yourself, idiot. I’ll make you coffee.
He closed his eyes wearily, putting a mug of hot coffee on the table and sniffing. A couple of days ago, a runny nose was attached to him and Gambler did not smell at all. And this completely did not add to his mood.
*I’m so tired of everything. How long will I still be crazy about you, Reth? You do not let me go. I
have a feeling that we should still be together, but I can understand
you — I would not want to see your death on your hands either.*He dropped his head on the table and rubbed his forehead against the countertop.
— Reth, — he said aloud, — maybe I’ll come to you after all?

— Get down, you fool!
— Eric! — she sent him an air kiss. — Come to me!
Gambler growled again. And grabbed the girl, throwing it over her shoulder. Staggered, but managed to hold her and dragged her out. She giggled, but did not break away.
Clank!
Gambler shuddered. The waitress was picking up broken glass. He ran a hand over his face — what kind of obsession? But… he really can have everything. But the money did not interest him then and is not of interest now.
As for Reth … For two years she never let tell him what he felt for her. Did not want affection? Did not feel the same and endure it for the sake of the bed? He is not too much of a great lover, to sexually endure it next to him …
Gambler realized that his head began to hurt. He stood up resolutely and went to look for Samantha to say that he was leaving.
He found a girl dancing on the bar and growled. How much did she drink while he was in a trance? And how long had he been sitting like this?
