Sweet Seduction

I would agree that every human on this planet has a moment they can pinpoint in their lives as the unforgettable something.

This unforgettable something has to be so memorable that no one can instinctively know from the second when it starts happening that who we really are when this great events starts will be irrevocably redesigned, wether for the better or for worse.

Standing exactly as she was in the bedroom, Daphne knew this moment was her unforgettable something, her greatest era.

"I don't think I can do this anymore"

Daphne stomach clenched, nervous pin pricks travelled across every inch of her body, her limbs felt like they were literally vibrating with electricity, her heart dropped to the floor when the only man she had ever loved made that statement.

The atmosphere around them was very tense to the extent that she could feel her instant increasing body temperature.

"Wwhat do you mean?"

Manuel sat on the edge of their bed, hands folded into one another, he let out a shaky breath of remorse, " Daphne I think we need a break from each other"

"Break? What break? Is it break like having a breakfast or going for a break dance class?" Daphne laugh but quickly realized how dry her humor was when the man in question didn't respond, neither did he laugh or smile.

"I will be staying with a friend tonight, and then tomorrow I will be leaving for Spain for two weeks"

"What?" Shock twisted Daphne's stomach into uncomfortable knots, " when did all that happen?"

Daphne knew Manuel always tell her of his intending plans either for work, for himself or for them both, she watched him, her feet growing numb the longer she stood there as he went over to their closet and pull out a suitcase.

"I booked it few weeks ago?"

"Weeks??!....."

"I need to go on a break, on a vacation" Manuel said in a cold time, tossing the pillow that was arranged on his side of the bed.

Daphne nodded, " So, are you going by yourself?"

Manuel paused for just the slight second and Daphne felt everything inside of her collapse within that silent beat.

"No, iam going with Liam"

Relief swept in swift and hard, surprising Daphne by how worried she had actually been that he might be going to this impromptu vacation with another companion in mind.

Yes it's! It's cool if he is going to Spain with Liam, after all they have been childhood friends. Daphne knew Manuel wasn't perfect, she believed no one is and over the last years of their relationship he had developed some less than pleasant qualities to be around.
