“Dinner was amazing, thank you.”

Mati pushes her plate away and a genuine smile settles on her soft pink lips. She is right, though…dinner was amazing. Being able to sit with her, no pressure and in a comfortable silence, yeah it was pretty damn great in my book.

“Can I get you anything else?” I ask.

“No, all of this was perfect.” Mati settles back in her seat and studies my face. “How was your day?”

“Okay.” I shrug. “Just kept busy. Went to the store, prepared dinner. Oh, I did your laundry, too.”

“That’s sweet.”

Clearing my throat, I place my fork down and sit back. “I missed you today.”

“I’m sorry I had to work.” Mati sighs.

“No, don’t be.” I desperately want to apologize for my behavior last night but I don’t know if she wants to hear it. I’m forever apologizing, and Mati is right…soon it will lose its meaning. “I know I’m wasting my time asking, but do you think you could take a few days off?”

“Shouldn’t be a problem, why?” Her forehead creasing, Mati sits forward, her elbows resting on the table between us.

“I’d like to take you away for a few days.” Why is she staring at me? She doesn’t want to. Her silence is deafening right now. “Never mind, I shouldn’t have asked. You have work and responsibilities. Sorry, I jus-“

“Olivia, I’d love to disappear from here for a while.”

“Yeah?” A smile creeps onto my mouth and widens, ridiculously. “Really?”

“Really.” Standing, Mati rounds the table and pulls me up to my feet. “Some alone time could be good for us.”

“I think we need it,” I say with certainty. “I’m trying, okay?”

“I know you are.” Switching her gaze to my lips, Mati leans in and smiles into a kiss. A kiss I’ve so desperately needed and a kiss I more than want. “I love you.” She whispers as she pulls back. “So much.”

“I feel so good when I’m with you…”

“And I’ll always make you feel that way.” Running her thumb along my cheek, Mati gives me one of her dimpled smiles and places another soft kiss on my lips. “Don’t ever feel like you cannot talk to me, okay?”

“I promise to do more talking…” I agree. “I think I have to.”

“You do.” Mati nods. “Don’t hold it in. You have to feel that emotion, Liv. It will eat you up if you don’t.” God, I love her honesty…and her support. “Be angry, be pissed, be sad. Be everything it makes you feel, but don’t hold it in.”

“Did anybody ever tell you how amazing you are?” I ask, my arms wrapping around Mati’s waist. “Because you are. To me, you are everything.”

“Just trying to do the right thing.” She smiles.

Deciding to be a little brave, my hands roam beneath her blouse and make contact with her skin. Just like it always did, it feels amazing. I’ve missed touching her and feeling that smoothness beneath my fingertips. I’ve missed everything about her. Even though she is standing right in front of me, I still miss her.
