Mount Olympus [4]

Nic

I smile and wrap my arms around her the moment she lies down, "Thank you for the soup, beautiful."

Jackie

I smile and trace the outline of his lips with my finger, "Your welcome."

Nic

I watch her, still smiling, and can't believe I'd been gone so long. It was bad, but being back I know now how hellish it was not seeing her. I didn't even have a picture of her like the others did of their girls. Just memories.

Jackie

I find him watching me and I smile, "What?"

Nic

I blink out of my thoughts and smile again, "Nothing. I just can't believe I'm back yet."

Jackie

I smile and un-button his shirt, "Why?"

Nic

I watch her, "'Cause it almost seems too good to be true, like a dream."

Jackie

I nod, "Uh huh," I glance up at him, "Same here."

Nic

I smile at her again, "I won't leave though. I'd rather die than go through that again. Not seeing you every day was like not breathing. I don't quite know how I'm still alive."

Jackie

I smirk and take his shirt off, nodding, "I was waiting."

Nic

"I know," I smile back, propping myself up on my elbows, "You don't know how much that means to me."

Jackie

I nod and prop myself up too, "I know. You told me that before you left."

Nic

I nod and kiss her, closing my eyes.

Jackie

He kisses me and I set a hand on the side of his face, eyes closing.

Nic

I wrap my arms around her and pull her close, flashing a smile.
