About Last Night

Chapter 12

I sat on the couch staring at the boxes I left in the corner of the living room. Boxes that had something special to me something I had to leave in the past. I felt saddened but I knew it wasn't going to tare me apart. I get up slowly walking out into my balcony leaning on the rail admiring the beautiful view and watching the sun set. Suddenly I turn hearing a car engine coming into my driveway, I noticed it was Paul's car. I walk downstairs opening the door before he could knock "What are you doing here" I say biting my lip. I knew that just leaving him when he needed me was a mistake but it was all too much for me too soon. He rubs his head gently "Im sorry, Cassie for putting you in that situation. I know I should have never tried to sleep with you knowing that I was hurting" he slumps his head in disappointment. I took a few step closer to him lifting his face gently "You don't have to apologize, I wanted to make you forget or at least make you feel better but I knew it wasn't going to take your mind off this situation" I pull him a bit closer to me leaning my head on his. Both our foreheads touching, we stay still for a while our eyes closed taking in this moment together. 

"Come inside" I say letting him go. I move to the side letting him enter my house. I shut the door and walk to the kitchen opening one of the kitchen counter. "Want some coffee" I say grabbing two mugs. He nods his head as he pulls out a chair from the island table. "Paul, I dont know what to tell you about meadow. All I know is you need to understand Rebecca she's a mother she had to think about her daughter. Your becoming a movie star and I know nothing big has happened but what if you get a big role the media is not only going to come for you but its going to come for your family." I grab the hot water and pour into the mugs placing a few spoons of crushed coffee beans. I hand on of the mugs to Paul he smiles and drinks it "I know, but she's my daughter I want to see her grow. But I understand you I want to protect meadow as well." I take a sip of my coffee making eye contact with Paul. All I see is sadness in his once bright ocean eyes "Just come to an agreement, maybe she could wait a little longer until she's a bit older. You have to talk to her but not yelling. Communicate in a healthy way and I know she will come to an agreement with you." he smiled taking another sip of his coffee. I look at him smiling as well, "What?" I say blushing 

"Nothing" he stays silent for a moment continuing to stare into my eyes "Ive missed you, communicating with you and just being with you in general. I thought I had lost you a few years ago, You brought back feelings that I thought were gone but when I saw you that day at my dinner party it was like everything I had for you sparked again." I smile taking a few steps toward him, I place my hands on his cheeks. "Well, I thought I was going to be able to get over you but that day I saw you was like the day I first fell in love with you. All the pain we had caused each other went away all I felt was love" our eyes connected his blue eyes staring into my soul with a smile formed on his face. His arms wrap around my waist, his face leaning into mine. our lips just a few inches away from each other, his lips find a way to mine. I couldn't get over this feeling of Paul being by my side. It all happened so fast but it felt amazing, its like we were starting where we left off. 

He continues to kiss me and I follow his every movement, he stands up our lips still connected. I stand on the tip of my toes trying to not let go of the kiss but suddenly I feel him lift me. He sits me on the island. I feel him right in-between my legs, he stops the kiss putting his hand on my cheek. "Your my everything" I feel a tear fall from my eye. He wipes it placing another kiss on my lips "I promise you, I will never hurt you again. I will be here with you always, I will fight for you always. Its you and I forever" I place a kiss on his lips wiping the tears coming from my eyes "And I promise ill never shut you out, I will always be there for you in whatever you need. I will fight for you." he leans his forehead on mine. I hug him tightly, letting all the fear of Paul leave my body. I did have fear of losing him again of hurting again but something inside me reassured me. Having Paul here right now was all that mattered.
