29. I Drove All Night

Song: I Drove All Night by Cyndi Lauper

--------------------

'Jimmy?' I turn around and see him facing me, an undetectable look on his face. 'Wh- What are you doing here?'

'I came to find you.'

'Why? Haven't you done enough damage already?'

I had to escape

The city was sticky and cruel

'I tried calling, and knocking on your door, but you'd already left so I came here.'

Maybe I should have called you first

But I was dying to get to you

'But why? Why are you here? You know how much this hurts me.'

I was dreaming while I drove

The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

'I know, and I'm sorry. I love you Ethan and I can't believe it took me this long to get to that conclusion. I have missed you so much.

Could taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

Missed your kisses, your touches, the way you are always willing to do something fun, and generally I missed being around you. I can't stand us not being friends and I want us to be more. You drive me crazy, in a great way, and to go without you in my life would be insane.

Jessie and I broke up'

'Oh?' He looked hopeful so I guessed I was on the right track.

'Yeh. She could see I was madly in love with someone else and she gave me her blessing to come after you.'

'Is that why your head is bleeding? Did she get mad and hit you? Please say she did.' He was smiling now, teasing me.

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

'I'm bleeding?'  touch my head and sure enough, there is blood. 'There were no taxi's and I couldn't miss you leaving without telling you all this so I ran, nearly knocking an old lady over. And I fell over around the corner from here which may explain the injury, but I don't care.

I drove all night

Is that alright

If I had missed you, I would have kicked myself, so it was all worth it, I hope. That's if you forgive me.'

I drove all night

I looked at him, willing for him to tell me it was all ok and that he forgave me.

What in this world

Keep us from tearing apart

'You know I love you Jimmy. I can't eat, or sleep and it pains me to even think about you most of the time. But I still do, think about you that is. I always think about where you are or what you may be doing or feeling.

No matter where I go I hear

The beating of your heart

I think about you when I go to sleep, which is why I can't sleep.

I think about you

When the night is cold and dark

But despite all of the pain you have caused, and the pain I have caused admitedly, I still love you. Nobody could ever replace you.'

No one can move me

The way that you do

Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

Ba-dum. Ba-dum. If he was just a few inches closer, he would hear my heartbeat, like I could. Is it normal for it to beat this fast? He has to know how much I want this to happen - I need this to happen. Without further thought, I rush forwards, closing the gap between us and land my lips firmly on his.

At first it is fast and urgent, like it is the last thing we will ever be able to do on earth. My tongue is feverishly darting around trying to make contact with his, whilst his mouth is biting and sucking away like a vampire aiming for blood.

But then it starts to slow down, allowing us more time to savour what we are doing. It had now shifted to a gentle caress of tongue, lips slowing moving in time with each other as if we had all the time in the world. I wanted nothing more than for this to continue, but we were in the middle of a station where a train had just pulled up and now we were in the way.

I tore myself away from him and stared into those beautiful eyes of his. 'Shall we go somewhere a bit more private?'

'I thought you'd never ask,' he replies and we walk hand in hand towards the exit - his train long forgotten about.

I drove all night
