The Marriage Break

Part nine: She is loved

Being in David's arms was the trigger. Both forgot everything, moving and disease. There was nothing they wanted more than being together. They didn't have to talk. Regina sat up with David's help and got off the exercise machine. She took her keys, her towel and the water. The brunette took the blonde's hand and she led him to the elevator. Both entered and he pressed the button that indicated the level where his apartment was.

It was obvious what was going to happen. They entered the apartment and Regina began taking off her clothes. David imitated her. They were naked staring at each other in a safe distance. It was hard to be like that, but David was waiting for a sign from Regina. His heart kept beating hard and full speed. The same thing happened to Regina. She felt her heart beating, the flow of her blood running through her entire body. The heat. She wanted to treasure that feeling and enjoy it to the fullest. The brunette felt the humidity and saw that David was wanting to jump on her.

"Come on David, take me!" Regina could hardly speak.

David's reaction was swift. Making love to Regina was more than a pleasure; it was a necessity to express how much he loved her. For her it wasn't different. The brunette hugged him tightly, placing her legs on David's waist while she kissed him passionately.

Regina had lost her sanity in David's arms. She had been carried away by the love she felt for him, and for the love that he gave her without measure. He sat her on the kitchen counter and he made love to her there, and then ended up in bed a couple more times.

Between caresses and sounds she told him that she loved him and he asked her not to leave him, but they didn't speak. Now after they had made love, they remained in bed hugging without speaking. Regina rested on David's chest, caressing him. He hugged her protectively, more like a gesture that she didn't get out of his arms. There was no place in the world more peaceful and painful than this. They simply couldn't speak and they didn't want to think.

"I have to go". Regina broke the magic and silence, but she didn't change her position.

"I know!" David replied without releasing her from his hug.

They stayed like that for minutes, while they still held on to each other. It was evident that they didn't feel like facing the inevitable. Regina closed her eyes and took a deep breath a couple of times, before she acquired the courage to speak to him.

"I love you David Williams. I love you with all that I am". She kissed him on the chest and hugged him tighter. "I will miss you every day of my life!"

The blond said nothing. That was a farewell and he didn't want to say goodbye to Regina. He felt the brunette's tears fall on his chest. He could only correspond with the strength of his embrace, until he felt she wanted to break free. He let her get up to see her once more.

"Don't leave me Regina; don't do this to us..." He was going to make his last attempt.

"You have no choice and neither do I". She told him and then she went to the living room to get her clothes.

David got up immediately and he followed her. It couldn't be that Regina refused all possibilities. He was willing to make sacrifices for her, and deep down he knew that she had considered being by his side.

"Come on Regina!" He got to where she was and saw her dress.

"David". She approached the blond and took him by the cheek. "This is what you want for us? Occasional sex..."

"You know that this is not occasional or just sex". David was nagging to lose hope.

"But it is all that I can offer you, who knows for how long or if I can give you more someday". She stared at him with tears in her eyes. She was being completely honest with him.
