CHAPTER 14

The weekend came and I was excited more than words can explain to see him. Talking on the phone and a few random texts here and there were far from enough. I craved to be held in his arms again.

We agreed to meet at his house after work on Friday. As soon as the clock struck five, I was out of my office and on my way. Tony had given me his garage code in the case that I arrived first, thank God, because I did.

Walking in, I noticed things that I didn't remember being there. On the counter was a fruit basket filled with cutie oranges and papayas, my two favorites. Glancing over the space to the adjacent counter was a peach Bellini candle from Bath & Body Works, also my favorite. Across the room, next to the television was a stack of DVDs I didn't remember being there either. I walked over to get a closer look and found Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias, What Dreams May Come and the entire Twilight series. All were movies we had discussed that he either made fun of me for liking or hadn't seen to form an opinion yet. I was in awe that he paid such close attention and that he took the time to find and purchase them all.

"Hello, my beautiful woman."

I may not have heard him come in but I was running the second I knew he was reachable. I jumped into his arms and held on for dear life.

"Someone miss me much?"

"More than I even realized until I saw you."

"Give me your mouth."

I pulled back from hugging him but he never let me down. Our lips touched and it felt like it had been years. He tugged and sucked on my bottom lip while I took his top. My hands found his hair and my fingers dug in. I wanted him so bad already.

He pulled back saying, "I'm glad to see you're just as excited as me, but we have all weekend. Let me see you first."

"See me?"

He set me down and took a step back.

"Hot damn! Yes, see you. Memories don't hold a candle to the real thing."

I stood while his eyes traveled up and down my body. I had a black pencil skirt on, with a grey semi transparent top.

"I like the bra. Hopefully no one else did today."

"Really?!"

"Just saying."

"I had a jacket on. It’s over there next to the movies, thank you very much. Speaking of movies, you got all of them?"

"I want you happy here."

"Would it be corny if I said where ever you are will always make me happy?"

"Yes."

"I kind of thought so too."

"Come here, woman." He pulled me back into his arms. "I missed you. Talking on the phone sucks."

"What do you expect? We both have jobs that demand a lot of time. Maybe someday we could work something else out but for now it's our only option."

"Sooner than later is all I'm saying."

"I'm not touching that conversation again. We agreed to wait.
