Another Chance

What Do You Want?

Janet POV

I needed and loved him. He surprisingly bent down and kissed my lips softly caressing my face. His other hand tightened in mine. I gasped in his mouth as the kiss deepened as our tears mixed together. He caught me off guard. I never expected him to kiss me. He let go of my hand and held my face in his hands. I relished the feeling of being near him again. Sparks coursed through my body from our closeness. I held his waist tight as he pulled me closer into him. He kissed me even deeper, our tongues wrapping around each other. 

I swear he was making love to me with his mouth. No one had ever kissed me the way he did. Not having kissed him in so long, he had me melting into him moaning in his mouth as I gripped his waist tighter. A familiar wave ran through my body. His hands moved into my hair angling my head back more. The kiss went on for a bit. He eventually pulled back from me. He kissed my nose tenderly. We stood there looking at each other not saying anything as he still held my face in his hands caressing it. He looked as if he was searching for something as he gazed deeply into my eyes. He ran his thumb over my cheekbone and lips as he examined every inch of my face. I wondered why he kissed me and what he was thinking?

"Come on." He whispered. He let go of my face pecking my lips one last time.

We turned back to Eissa. He pulled up a chair while I sat on the bed with Eissa. He sat next to me and held my hand again.

"Is Randy okay?"

"He's fine. They sent him home pretty early on."

"How have you been doin with all of this?"

"Okay I guess. Taking it day by day." I whispered. "How have you been?"

"I'm good. Teaching classes in LA with Denzel."

"That's good. Listen do you think that we can talk...." 

"Hey Mr. Darius," Eissa said his voice raspy. We both turned looking at Eissa.

"Hey kiddo!"

"Oh my god! Darius!" I gripped his hand tighter around mine. "You're awake Eissa. Let me get the doctor."

"No...stay here please mommy. I need some water."

I wiped at my face. "Ok...here. He took a small sip then started coughing.

"You okay?!"

"Yeah my throat hurts. What's wrong mommy? Why are you crying?"

"You were in an accident. Do you remember anything?"

"No mommy. What is wrong with my arm and leg?"

"You hurt your leg and arm baby."

"Mommy can we go home please?"

I laughed, "Yes soon we can go."

I looked at Darius smiling tears streaming down my face. He looked at me with a small smile on his face. I took his hand in mine and held it as I talked to Eissa. I couldn't let him go...not yet. The nurses came and did an assessment. The doctor also came in shortly after and said everything looked good and I could get Eissa home soon. Everything had checked out. I was beyond relieved. Was it possible all Eissa needed was Darius and I? Together? 

I sat back and just watched the two of them talk. It was amazing. They had a really tight bond. I didn't even remember them being this close on tour. My ears perked up when I listened to some of the conversation and I realized what it was. This whole time that Darius and I weren't talking, he was still keeping up with Eissa! 

He knew too much about his day and what was going on. I was gonna get Randy when I spoke to him. That was the only explanation. On the other hand, I was also relieved that Eissa had someone other than Randy to talk to. Even then I took a deep breath of relief and said a silent prayer now that Eissa was okay. Maybe Darius and I could possibly work this out... we'd have to see.
