I wasn't enough.

Chapter 22

Lucy's POV

Jerry takes a seat on the couch while I continue on to the kitchen. 

        "Would you like a tea or a coffee Jerry?" I call from the kitchen

        "Yeah sure. I would love one actually. Coffee please. Black with two sugars" He calls back

I smile and start to make his coffee. I walk back into the lunge holding his coffee in one hand and a packet of Reese's in the other. They are my absolute favorite. 

        "Here you go. I hope you like Reese's" I grin

        "I don't like them. I love them" He smiles back widely

        "Well I'm glad" I giggle "Anyway how have you been lately?" I ask grabbing a biscuit

This question comes as a suprise to him but he qucikly shakes the look from his face. I find it a little strange but I act as if I didn't see that.

        "I've been good I guess. Works been... well you know how it is. Busy and all" He takes a sip of his coffee and I know he's probably waiting for an answer.

        "Yeah work is always busy" I reply not knowing what to say exactly

        "Yeah... on the topic of work. It feels like I haven't seen you in a while. Why is that?" Jerry's face looks a little confused

        "I haven't been feeling too well and I would never want anyone else in the office to get sick aswell" Hopefully that stops him asking questions

        "Are you okay Lucy?" He asks eyes full of concern

        "Yeah, i'm no longer sick so I'll be at work tomorrow" I smile. It's nice to know someone cares about me.

        "No I mean, are you okay? I know somethings wrong. I could tell as soon as I saw your face. Something's bothering you. What is it?"

Gosh he just doesn't stop does he?

        "Look Jerry. It's nice to know that you worry about me but honestly you don't have to. I am perfectly fine and I don't need to be checked up on okay?" I try be calm but I feel my face droop a little and tears start filing up my eyes. I squeeze my eyes shut and hold back my tears. I do not need to cry again. Let alone in front of him.

        "Lucy, that's not why I'm here. I just came around to catch up but I can't leave knowing somethings wrong. Please tell me. I'm here for you"

His statement causes a few tears to slip out of my closed eyes and I quickly wipe them away praying he didn't see. Opening my eyes a few more fall to which Jerry now wipes away. I look at him shocked but I soften when I see the look on his face. It isn't sympathy, I don't know how to explain it but it sends a warm feeling throughout my body. 

        "I understand if you don't want to tell me but whatever it is, you need to talk about it. Not with me but with anyone" 

I look at him with watery eyes and offer a small smile to possibly reasure him. He looks and me and does the same, minus the watery eyes bit. 

        "I'm going to go now to give you some space. If you need anything just call okay?"  He cups my face with his right hand and rubs his thumb over my check. I close my eyes, not used to this kind of behaviour from and hear him stand up. 

I open my eyes and look at him. He walks over to me, bends down a little and places a kiss on my cheek. He then gets up and walks out of the lounge. I hear him call 'Bye Lucy' and then hear the front door shut. 

What the? Jerry just kissed me on the cheek. Why?

I hear on knock on the door and call out saying it's open. I guess it's just Jerry again. He's probably forgotten something.

I look at the person standing in the doorway and my heart sinks. David is standing there a little slumped and a hurt look plasterd across his face. It hurts me to see him like this. 

        "David?" I say looking at him. A lump forms in my throat and tears are forcing their way through.

He looks up with the same pained expression but now a tear has rolled down his cheek. I immediately feel guilty and run over to him. I wrap my arms around his waist and snuggle my head into his chest.

        "Honey what's wrong?" I ask hugging him tighter

He says nothing. That's when I feel him hug me back. His body is so warm and his arms envelope me, making me feel safe. I take my head off his chest and look up at him. His eyes are welled up and he looks at me sadly.

        "Lucy. I saw you with him" His voice is soft and hurt. I feel so bad.

        "It was nothing. He doesn't mean anything to me he's just a friend" I reply looking into his eyes

        "I know Lucy. It just made me realize how much it would hurt to never be with you. I don't want that Lucy. I never want that to happen to us. I need us. I need you. I..."

        "I love you David. Never forget that okay? I love you and that's all that matters" I place a light kiss on his lips and pull away to look at him. He's still a little sad but his face has lightened bit.

He pulls my face back to his and pushes his lips to mine. I react immediately and kiss him back. His kiss seems desperate, like it's his last kiss he'll get from me. I don't know why he's feeling this but I don't care right now.

He pulls away and sees the plaster on my arm. He looks at me with concern and furrowed eyebrows.

        "What happened Lucy?"
