It took me a lot less time than I thought to find you. Mind you, you weren't trying to hide from me really. If you had been, I doubt I ever would have found you.
I pulled up outside the hotel, and saw my bike parked there. I felt like crying, I was so relieved, but at the same time, I felt so angry. I couldn't understand why you'd done it.
Mind you, wasn't that the reason I came?
I watched the windows for a moment, and saw your shadow silhouetted by the light. It hurt to see you, it felt like the knife in me had been twisted, but I had no choice.
I never have had a choice when it comes to you.
I knocked on your door, and every doubt that clouded my mind fled when you opened it, surprised but unsurprised to see me there.
I nearly managed that smirk that drives you nuts, and told you that I'd come for my bike. I didn't know what else to say, but somehow, I knew that you knew what I meant when I said it. I came for you, if you wanted me.
You looked at me and stood aside to let me in, asking me if that was what I really came for.
It was during the silence that too many things were said to be ignored.
Next thing, you were in my arms, and I was in yours, and all that desolation and misery was soothed away by the feel of your lips on mine.
I don't know how long we stood there. It didn't matter, it wasn't long enough. I'd been shattered into a million pieces when you left, and it would take a while to remake myself.
You are the only thing that could remake me.
I asked you. I asked you why, trying to hide the pain that you caused me, trying not to let the quaver in my voice say what my mouth was unwilling to.
You turned away, and I got the sinking feeling you were going to tell me to leave, tell me that I meant nothing again, but this time I knew it wasn't true. I had felt the love in those kisses, and I wasn't going to let you hurt us both again like that.
I pulled off my glasses, hoping that you would see the need I have for you.
I felt whispered breath against my cheek, soft words mumbling how beautiful you thought I was.
And you kissed away each tear on my face, telling me that they were more precious than diamonds and twice as beautiful.
Explanations could wait.
Next thing, we were in bed, and you were moving over me, kissing, soothing, taking away all the pain with those amazing hands and loving words.
For the first time that night, I made love to someone. I made love to you. And you called my name as you came, just as I called yours softly into your shoulder.
We dozed off at sun up, I think. I can't be sure, my glasses lay on the table, abandoned. I whispered to you that I loved you. And you whispered it back, softly and lovingly.
Explanations could wait. For now it was enough to know that those harsh words and cruel intentions weren't real.
You're holding me close as you sleep, your kisses still fresh on my skin.
You love me. It's enough.
The End
