Resident Evil One-Shots

If Only For A Moment (Weskertine)

Jill sighed as she finally got the door unlocked, stubborn keys, her lockpick would've been much quicker but Chris had refused to give it back, insisting that she keep herself out of trouble.

9.04pm
She kicked off her heels, locking the door behind her as she walked on, her apartment in New York overlooking Times Square, she gave a small smile as the street lights twinkled below like stars.

She huffed & tugged at the loose hair band, letting her blonde locks fall past her shoulders, comforting the skin on her neck. She stared at her reflection, a red dress jacket & black skirt with tights. Another meeting with executives & officials, another day of repeating the same story. Surely they had driven every last information out of her? That what happened in Africa had long since passed & she wanted nothing more than to move on.

She decided to skip dinner tonight, her belly bloated with anxiety from a long day in conference meetings.
She loosened her tight clothing, opting to sleep bare skinned tonight, bringing back some pleasant memories of her time in Africa, with him. She lied down, staring at the wall, nails digging into the fabric of the pillow as she thought.

Wesker was gone now, even if he had survived the brutal attack at the volcano, no one knew where he was, probably lost to the wilds, a rotting corpse, better yet if he woke, no memory came to mind. She didn't know but she so longed for the days where she could hold him again. And so, in her mind, Jill wrote him a letter.

If only for a moment I could hold you again.
If only for a moment, I'd kiss you.
I'd tell you everything that has happened, tell you how I never forgot what happened.
If only we had a moment, I would hold you tightly, never let you go.
If a moment's all that we had, I would beg you not to leave me again.
I would demand to come with you, my King.
If only for a moment we could hold each other like we used to on those sleepless nights.
I'd tell you all my dreams, I'd make love to you.
If I only had just one more moment with you, it would mean the world to me.

Jill closed her eyes, trying to dream of a time where he had been alive, they had been happy together. She gave a small smile as she felt a warm air of comfort wrap around her waist.

"I know you're here, Albert."
She spoke sadly but still desired to feel his touch. If she craned her neck to look, he wasn't there, at least not in her eyes. But in her mind & her heart-

"I am here."
