I recieved her message.
"No! Don't yuou dare think I could deserve any one other than you.You are what makes me. If you died, I couldn't live with myself. You are the axis of my earth. I love you very much."
Richard chose his suit carefully, selecting the navy blue, a pair of silver crescent moon cuff links and some smart, black shoes as well as a silver and blue striped tie. Very smart. The outfit said businessman from every angle but then, gently, he tucked a single red rose into his top jacket pocket and that said 'lover' and the gifts - both carefully wrapped, though not by himself, in very expensive paper and ribbons - said a number of things. Caring, considerate, generous.
The smile and the slow, casual walk as he headed outside and locked the door behind him both said 'he's got plans for tonight' and he sure did. He got in his car and drove slowly down to Lake's where he rang the bell, complimented her on being beautiful, kissed her gently and then took a good long look at the little girl. She was a pretty little thing and very sweet. Hell, it wasn't that Richard didn't like kids, he even wanted a few of his own some day, but not this soon. He smiled.
"Look what I've got," Richard brought both gifts out from behind his back and passed the larger, squishy package to the little girl before presenting the other to his girlfriend who smiled in delight as she cooed at the child:
"Look what Richard's bought you, what is it Myla? Are you going to open it, baby girl?" The small child turned it over a few times and then shredded the paper, gurgling at the teddy.
I was torn, part of me wanted to save myself to run to forget all about him, and the other part of me was the part that was in control, the part that urged me foward into the kiss the part that dared myself to keep going and suffer later.
"I swear as soon as I'm free, I want to marry you." I smiled as I held her. "I don't ever want you to hurt, especially for me." I said and then swore under my breath, what was I suppose to say to comfort her? I had never held an upset woman in my arms before.
We're meant to be one
I know we are...
If I am the Sky
Then you are my star... ™
I rested my head on his shoulders as I let his words wash over me. Married? Him to me? Somewhere the equation to that didn't work right, there was something wrong sounding of that, hearing his perfect voice say something like that to me confused and astonished her. But O didn't have the guts to fight it, "you really would marry me?" I stuttered.
"Yes."
I smiled slightly, but the torn feelings were still there, "part of me still wants to run away from this, but that part is also hesitant because it worked out soo wonderfully last time."
"I don't want you to run, because with you I would only follow." I smiled. "I've been waiting to meet the right woman for so long now." I held her in my arms I did love her.... I did love her very much.
"Then where have you been?" She hesitantly smiled
"With all the wrong women." I smiled as did she and I kissed her.
We're meant to be one
I know we are...
If I am the Sky
Then you are my star... ™
He was kissing me dizzy, really dizzy. It felt weird.
"Marc, something's wrong," I moaned and fought agains the darkness invading my vision. My body had gone numb and I didn't know if I was standing on my own feet or if Marc was supporting me.
