Our Song ON HOLD

13. Clarity

Two days later

Libbie POV

Not long after Cal had left I had called Delila to let her know I wouldn't be taking the discussed trip, I explained everything and unsurprisingly she told me how stupid I was being and that I had nothing to think about.
After that call I hadn't answered my phone once, I didn't want to speak to anyone, I just wanted time alone to think, to process everything and try to understand what I needed........no wanted to do.

After twenty four hours of my mind swimming I was I desperate for it to stop, so it turned to the one thing I knew would help......music. Music had always been my solace, it helped me distract my mind and take me away from reality for a brief moment.

I had turned on the radio, sat down on the couch, closed my eyes and just listened, allowing it to take me away to where ever the song described. With each song I was in a different scenario and my mind got quiter.

Then a familiar song begins to play and I find myself getting to my feet, wrapping my arms around myself and keeping my eyes closed I begin to slowly move to the music, instantly I'm taken back to the last time I heard it, the last time I danced to it. I continue to until I suddenly find myself stopping.

My eyes snap open and I let go of myself, the song had given me the moment of clarity I needed. In this moment I knew what I wanted, what I wanted to do and where I needed to be. Turning off the radio I grab what I need and leave the house heading towards where I know I belong.

Damian POV

"Alright well call me if you hear anything, thanks Delila" I say ending the call. It had been two days and I'd heard nothing from Libbie. Delila had called to ask if I'd heard from her because she wasn't taking her calls either.

Then she explained what had happened the night Libbie got home and I had literally felt my heart sink. Was this it, was it really going to over that quickly? Had I lost any chance of her ever loving me back?

"Has something happened, is Libbie ok?" Rhea asks

"I uh.....I don't know. Her ex showed up the night she came home saying he wanted her back, she was going to come and see me but then she changed her mind and now she won't answer her phone"  I say slumping down into the corner of the ring

"Try not to worry, she probably just needed time and space to figure everything out" Rhea says "no news is good news"

"Or she's not answering my calls because she's with him, because she's chosen him over me" I say wiping away a lone tear before it falls "I've lost her I know I have"

"I wouldn't be so sure of that" Rhea says with a smile, I follow her gaze and that's when I see what she's looking at.......Libbie is stood at the top of the ramp. Within seconds I'm on my feet, out of the ring and running towards her, she smiles and opens her arms to me and once I reach her I sweep her up in my arms and spin her around before gently placing her back on the ground.

"Hey dream lover" she says softly "that was one hell of a hello"

"I've been worried sick, you haven't answer my calls for two days. Delila filled me and I thought........I thought I'd lost you" I say as she takes my face in her hands

"I'm sorry I worried you I just needed time to get my head straight" she says "when he came back it completely threw me, I didn't know which way was up so I ignored my phone and turned on the radio.......and then it happened musical clarity" she smiles

"Musical clarity?" I ask a little confused

"Yeah a song came on the radio, the song we danced to for the video. I allowed myself to move to the music and I was taken back to that moment, to dancing with you" she says nervously "I remembered how you made me feel, and how that was the moment I knew"

"Knew what?" I ask pulling her a little closer

"That moment when I was dancing in your arms, looking into your eyes was the moment I knew..............that I loved you" she smiles

"I love you too nightingale........so much" I sigh before pressing my lips to hers in a gentle loving kiss. Everything around us just seems to melt away and in this moment nothing else mattered, the only thing that mattered was that she had chosen me, she loved me and right now that was all I needed.

"You don't mind me just showing up here do you?" She asks as our lips part

"Not one bit" I smile "I'm glad you're here with me and not there with him"

"I was always going to choose you. It took some time but I realised what he was doing" she says "he'd seen the ceremony and saw me kiss you, he didn't like that I'd moved on and tired to convince we hadn't split up.........we had and I knew we had"

"You've no idea what it means to hear you say that" I smile as she moves a stray hair off my face

"So I guess this means I get to experience your world?" She asks with a smile "and I want the full experience, the whole package" she says wrapping her arms around my neck

"Oh I think that can be arranged" I smirk before kissing her once again
