Chapter 14

“Can I come in?”

I nodded, not saying anything.

Austin walked past me and headed to the living room. “Is he here? I didn’t see his car.”

I shook my head no, “We didn’t…he didn’t come in.” My voice was barely audible.

“I know you still love me; this is insane. I can’t sleep, I can’t stop thinking about you, and as pissed as I am, I’m not ready to walk away, not yet. Seeing you last night made it crystal clear. I still love you, and the idea of you being with him, or hell, anyone for that matter killed me. Is this truly what you want? You can’t truly believe we don’t belong together. I know you still love me, this is a huge mistake…we need to give this a chance.”

I didn’t know what to say. I was stunned. I expected hatred, anger, and pain to be spat at me, but instead he was telling me he loved me.

The words barely came out, and in a tiny whisper I admitted my true feelings, “I still love you. I don’t know what to do.”

“Just love me, why does it have to be harder than that? Listen, I’m not a player; I can’t just go out with girl after girl. I haven’t felt something this real in a long time, and I think it’s a mistake to not at least give it a fighting chance. I know what you’re worried about, I know you’re scared, but for the love of God, don’t let go out of fear. Stand up to your fear and fight for what you want.”

I felt the tears streaming down my cheek, and nodded. It didn’t change the fact that he’d be leaving again, but if we were together and I was with Austin, it meant that all was right in my world.

His arms were strong, and as they wrapped around me, holding me close, I felt the ice melting around my heart. He was all I wanted, all I needed, and once again I was back in his arms where I belonged. A sense of relief washed over me.

There was lust in our eyes, a burning desire, but we took things slowly. He leaned back and looked at me, slowly running his fingers across my face, and then cupping my chin. Tilting my head up the slightest bit, Austin kissed my lips tenderly. I needed his kiss as much as I needed to breathe. I wanted to feel him again, feel him holding me, kissing me, and taking me as his own.

He drew his hand across my forehead, and ran his fingers through my hair. It was as if he wanted to touch every bit of me, absorbing it as a memory. A sudden urgency had him pulling me in tightly again, “I love you, Kate. I want this to work,” he whispered.

“It will,” I said, begging myself not to cry again. I didn’t know what else to say. It didn’t matter; he was here with me now and that was the only thing I cared about.
