It's Always Been You...

Chapter 2:

"Babe?"

The red head paused sensing how vulnerable Evelyn's voice was as she called her. She stopped applying her lipstick when the blonde called her from the bathroom. Everything was all set and both were just waiting for the private plane that Evelyn owned so they could fly to Spain.

She turned her back on the vanity mirror, "Yeah?"

"There's dried blood  underneath the garbage can." Evelyn came out of the room, eyes wide and on the verge of panicking, "I was putting away some of the  tissues that I used and then there it was, on the --- "

"Oh." Celia exclaimed and gave her a reassuring smile, "I stepped onto a glass when I got here." She started as she sat on the bed, took her right strapped-heel off and showed her foot to  the blonde, "See?"

"You didn't tell me  about that."

She wore her heel back, "Because baby, it's all fine. Just a small wound." She jested and walked back to the mirror, "You're all set? Your things ready?"

Celia watched as the blonde walked towards her. Eyes glued on the mirror's reflection when the blonde put her purse on the bed and in a snap, Evelyn's arms were already wrapped around her waist, her chin on her shoulder and her lips in a sweet smile. 

"Stop smiling." Celia coyly said as she went back to applying her lipstick, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"What question?" Evelyn countered as she turned Celia around so she could look at her.

"Are you all set?" The red head asked, putting her arms on the blonde's neck as she tugged her closer.

"Been set and ready since yesterday."

Celia smiled, "That's great."

"You know I want to tell you something."

The ginger looked up and stared at her for a moment, "What is it?"

Evelyn took Celia's hands that were on the back of her neck. She gently removed them and instead, she held them with her hands tightly. Celia straightened up. She knew it would be serious.

"I'm sorry." Evelyn started as she stared at her, "I really am. I know --"

Celia let go of Evelyn's right hand as she placed her hand on the blonde's chest, "Baby,.." She mumbled  softly, "...we've talked about this already."

Evelyn shook her head, "No. Let me finish." She spoke, her eyes glued to her lovers eyes, almost pleading, "I have a lot to say."

"Okay."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for it took us almost two years to finally pull all this shit together. I've been a jerk. If only I listened to you all those times. If only I let you tell me the whole story. If only I knew better then I should not have flew off to Europe and if only I didn't leave you.." She spoke, "I was the one who left. You came clean to me and were ready to say yes, but I was so foolish. I left, met John again and started off a new relationship with him. I let my emotions take a hold of me instead of fixing us and healing you." She exclaimed, eyes already drenched in tears, "Baby, you've been through so much and I'm sorry for I wasn't there when you needed someone to hold you tight. I'm really sorry."

"But you're here now, with me, ready to take this new journey with me..." Celia smiled at her as she tiptoed to kiss her lips, "That's all that matters, baby." She spoke and wiped the blonde's tears.

"I love you and I'm so ready to step into this journey. I don't care what tomorrow may bring, but we'll figure this out together." Evelyn smiled as she leaned her head against Celia's forehead, "It's you and me, always and forever."

"I know, baby. I know." Celia answered, her hands fell on the blonde's back, "And I love you so much."

"You ready?" Evelyn asked as she backed away a bit.

"So long as you are with me, I am."

"I love you, Celia . I love you so much and I don't know how to stress it enough, baby. I just love you --"

Celia cut her off with a finger on her lips, "This is the part where you should kiss me and make love to me because we still have thirty-five minutes left of free time."

The blonde left out a laugh, "And this is the part where you should let go of my waist so I could drag you up on my hips, walk towards the bed and push you down."

Celia did. She let go of Evelyn's waist and then it happened so fast. She had her legs wrapped around the blonde's waist as the blonde walked towards the bed and in just a snap, their well-pressed outfits were now on the floor as their bodies called each other home.

The Californian sun was kissing goodbye. The skies were drenched in pink and orange hues as the sunset emerged on the horizon. The private plane was waiting for the both of them. Evelyn held her lovers waist as they walked towards the plane while a gentleman walked behind them, carrying their luggage. It was now or never. They would do it. Forget the life they had built in Hollywood for a little while and they would travel around Europe until they fancy the thought of going back. The timeline was still so blurry, but they would do it.

"Thank you." Evelyn thanked the man who helped them carry their things.

"Anytime, ma'am."

Evelyn nodded. Celia was the first one to step into the plane while the blonde held her back, following her from behind. When they took their seats, and the pilot began to let the plane rise into the air, Evelyn held her hand out and Celia squeezed it tightly. It was a silent encouragement; a silent whisper of I'm here with you and we'll figure this out together.

"I love you." Celia spoke, sighing at the thought of it, because amidst everything, she loved Evelyn the most and she was willing to do everything for her.

"And I love you too."

A smile crept on the gingers face, "I can't wait to kiss you in Spain."

"I can't wait to be kissed in Spain by you." Evelyn chuckled as she turned on the small television in front of them, but as the tv went on, the vibe went dreary.

Don Adler was reported missing by his sister this morning at 9 AM. The actor was reported flying to Malibu for a quick vacation however, the actor has yet to return home and isn't answering his phone. This is Alissa Jones, FOX News.

"Shit." Celia muttered silently as she stared at the blonde in shock.

No, it couldn't be.
