What I craved all my life

EVA'S POV

"Anna..." I said with what little breath I had left. She was standing in front of me. 

From us being in different states to us being 5 steps apart.

"Hi Eva." she said to me almost whispering with her head tilted , her hands behind her back and she was stomping her feet. She seemed to be holding back from coming towards me.

"Why are you here?" said I crossing my arms and trying to show toughness. But it was getting hard when she looked at me.

"Why are YOU here?" "Why did you follow me?" I said. 

 It had become a school debate until I asked that question and cornered her. I could tell she didn't know what to say.

"I saw you running in the house and I thought you were sick..." she said trying to save her own ass. But I knew it was a lie."And since when do you care about me," I said.  And I could see the weight of my words falling on her.She sighed as she looked at the grounda until she looked back up at me.

"I always have."

I felt those words pierce my heart like a sharp blade soaked in poison. I don't know what to believe.

"Oh yeah? And where have you been for the last few months? Where have you been when Sab kicked me out of the house? Where have you been when every night I couldn't stop thinking about you and how you abandoned me." by now my tears were rolling down like endless waterfalls from my rosy cheeks.

Meanwhile Anna did nothing but look at me and I felt uncomfortable under that look that seemed to be one of pity.

"Stop looking at me like I'm a wounded puppy. I don't need your stupid pity," I said with my back to her and trying to compose myself. 

Until she felt hands on my hips. I turned to her and she hugged me.

At first I wanted to pull away from her, but then I let my emotions get the best of me and ended up crying on her shoulder."Shh it's ok..I'm here..I'm here now.." she kept telling me in an attempt to calm me down. 

Then she pulled away to look into my eyes and took my face in her hands.

"I thought about you every day. From the time you left home until 10 minutes ago when I was looking for you. This is not a look of pity, this is a broken look that has cried every day in hopes that you would return to us, to me. I didn't want to throw you out of my life. I found out  everything when you left. My manager had control of my social media and was intimating us not to contact you. Then I had to believe it was all your fault but I know and always knew it wasn't. You are my favorite person in this world. You are the first thought I have in the morning and the last when I go to sleep. So don't say I don't worry about you because that's exactly what I've been doing since you were gone." Anna said all in one breath.

We kept looking at each other and I noticed that sometimes she stared at my lips. I did the same but I didn't know if she wanted what I wanted. What I craved all my life.

She kept stroking my back and held me tighter and tighter to her until our lips were brushing.

"Wait..what about Karina?" I asked her moving one step behind but ended up bumping into the sink.

"Well.." she said moving closer to me resting her hands on the sides of the sink blocking any escape route for me. "I guess I could ask the same thing about Connor. But we know what was happening on that track and what will happen now in this bathroom.." she said confidentially as she grazed my cheek with her metal claw that made the tension rise. And the fact that she was biting or licking her lips as soon as she looked at mine, didn't help.

She was dangerously close and the tension continued to mount.

At one point we were so close we were breathing the same air.

Anna came closer and closer and firmly bit my lower lip, pulling it to her and sucking on it. I tried to reduce the distance that separated us but in response she moved away and with a small smile licked my lips. 

The girl knew what she was doing and I hated her for it.

"My legs will broke down if you keep this up" I said instigating her."Oh really?" she said. She slid her hands over my butt and decisively lifted me up and sat me on the sink. "Problem solved." she said with that damn smirk. 

Then I took advantage of the position to lock her legs with mine. 

"Now the problem is solved." I said taking her by the face and finally our lips touched.
