Forbidden Part 2

Kims pov
I layed in Duncans arms and felt my tears roll down my face. He sat still rubbing my arm slightly to comfort me. The room was silent besides my small tears and intakes of breath. Duncan sighed lightly lifting the silence from the air,
"This is all my fault" he breathed. I looked up with tears in my eyes
"No its not..." my voice shaked.
"Yes it is..." he sighed
"Duncan Jones, how on earth is this your fault?" I suddenly seemed upset and annoyed
"Think about it Kim, if we weren't partners- if I had just switched partners when we started getting feelings for each other, none of this would be happening!" I saw tears forming in his eyes too.
"Duncan you didn't know what would happen, this isn't your fault!"
"I know...I just can't stand to see you like this Kim...all I've ever wanted for you is to be happy..." his head droped low and his golden hair fell lightly over his saddened blue eyes.
"Duncan..." I thought back to all our late night texts of running away together and sneaking off to makeout it the back. Then I thought about all the times he helped me through rough times and how when something would happen between me and Simon, he would comfort me and set me back on the right track. And at the same time he felt guilty when we would talk about us, and he wanted the best for me and simon and talked about how much he loved his girlfriend. My head fell low too and our foreheads touched as our minds raced.
"Kim..." he looked up at me and paused while I stared into his blue eyes "I love you" I sat there shocked and confused
"B-but your girlfriend?"
"Kim, when I met you, I never imagined this would happen, but I quickly fell in love with you, we work so well together, that's why I flirt with you so much...because I love you..." he said with so much passion and meaning behind his voice. And I looked into his eyes, they looked tortured and torn, like he was so close to love, but was continuously torn away from it. Yet they still held the glow I could see everytime I looked into them. He breathed out,
"I know its too soon after your split, and I wamt to do whatever I can to clear this up, but I'm afraid I'll never get to tell you this, and as for my girlfriend, she isn't anything like me, she hates my entire job here and isn't the type of person I want to be with. I want to be with you, and hold you, and whisper sweet nothings into your ear." He held his gaze into my brown eyes throughout all of his words, and tucked a strand of my black hair away from my face and behind my ear, his hand grazing my face ever so slightly.
"Duncan...would you go with me to lunch...for a date..." I quivered in his hoodie, it was soon noon, we had spent hours talking and holding each other, and if what he said was true then I wanted to be with him too.
"What!? Of course Kim" he rushed and tripped on his words a little in surprise. He then remembered and put his hand to my shoulder, "it will get better, if not with him, then with me" he kissed my forehead lightly. There was a light knock on the office door and duncan almost growled, "who is it?" Holding my shoulders protectivly assuming it was Simon.
"Its Lewis," a small sad voice spoke through the door, " may I come in?" He said lightly. Duncan got up and walked to the door, while he did I stood and sat back down immediately in my computer chair, he opened the door and Lewis stepped in before shutting the door behind himself. After a moment of looking back and forth between the two silent men lewis coughed a little before saying awkwardly,
"I heard what happened, is it true?"
"Depends what you heard" Duncan raided his eybrows with minor hostility.
"Hey now mate, I'm not here to pick a fight, Simon ran into the office going on about how you cheated on him, is it true?" He added the last bit after a pause quietly.
"No, I didn't." I said with a glare.
"That's what I thought, what happened?"
"I was running late and split my coffee on myself, it burned me so we were trying to get the shirt off to help it, Duncan was helping me with it when Simon walked in and wouldn't let me explain"
"So in otherwords, Simon didn't trust her and stormed off like an ass" Duncan said bitterly.
"I see, and I'll note not to have you and Simon together in a series anytime soon" Lewis said to Duncan and I saw Duncan ease a little.
"Sorry Lewis, I know you two are goid friends, I just can't believe how quickly he turned on her" Duncan signed
"Simon is upset, he wasn't thinking straight, I'm sure he'll come apologize soon and you two will be right back to the way you were." Lewis tried to comfort me.
"I don't..." my sentence died out, my words lost in my throat.
"What, Kim?" Lewis looked at me trying to understand what I had meant.
"I don't want that." I said quietly and the room fell still.
"What do you mean Kim?" Lewis looked to duncan who shared his confused look then back to me for my answer.
"He snapped at me so quickly, he doesn't trust me, it hurt and I can't be with him right now."
"I see, do you want me to tell him that?"
"No, he needs to hear it from me, and that's even if he does try to apologize." I said and duncan pulled a chair next to mine and sat down so I could lay my head on his shoulder for comfort.
"Take the rest of the day off you two, amd if you need more time, let me know" lewis said standing up and moving away from the wall he had been leaning on. I couldn't talk and my words were kept choked back in my throat so I stayed on Duncan's shoulder. He whispered a quick 'alright' and Lewis left us alone in the office. Duncan rubbbed my shoulder and I sat up
"Lets go get something to eat" he said softly patting my head.

So I've decided to not do only two parts but at the least three, I'm having a lot of fun with this one so I don't want it to end yet, hope you all feel the same way.
