Star Crossed Lovers

Chapter 5

Micah –

I found myself standing outside of Sophia's trailer just staring at it, hoping that maybe she would come out here, but I knew she won't. Not after what we did. She was probably too embarrassed. I...We crossed the line. How do we come back from that to just friends?

My mind kept drifting back to when I saw Sophia disrobe right in front of me. She was breathtakingly beautiful; the swell of her breast, roundness of her ass...when she turned to face me, my heart stopped. I was frozen.

My eyes swept up and down her body, imagining myself buried deep within her core, thrusting within her, giving her all I had, all I felt for her. Our hands groping, blindly feeling our way over the curves and valley's of our bodies.

I could not believe Sophia flew at me. Oh god, the kiss. Her kisses. Our lips crushed together in fiery fusion. Hands searching, feeling, bodies rubbing up against each other.

If she had not backed away when she had, my fantasy would have happened. I would have made love to her.

Shaking my head, I backed away from the trailer, heading for my car. When I unlocked the door, I slid in just as my cell rang. I pulled it from my front pocket and looked at the display. It was Mary. Shit.

Questions swirled around in my head: How could I cross the line like that? How do we go back to being just friends? I don't know that I can go back. I don't know that I can ignore my feelings for her.

I pushed the talk button. "Yeah." I slid key into the ignition, starting the car.

"I just heard on the news that Sophia was ill earlier on some gossip show. She ok?"

"She's fine. I'm coming back now. See you in a few." I ended the call and threw the cell in the passenger seat, put the car in reverse, and backed out of my space, driving away.

It would have otherwise been a wonderful day. The clouds hung in the sky big and white, reminding me of big puffs of cotton candy. The sun shined brightly, blinding me as I drove.

I want so much to go back to Sophia, but I know I can't. She was right. I was married. We can't do anything more to keep crossing that line. I need to let her go. The movie was almost finished and we can go our separate ways. But in my heart I knew how I left, but I had to end it. It was what had to be done. The next time I see her, I just have to break her heart to keep her away from me.

Pulling into the parking garage, I zipped into my spot, and cut the engine. But I sat in the car a moment, getting my bearings, then I opened the car door, and slipped out, shutting it behind me.

Mary couldn't know any of it. She can't know. I will lose my baby girl, Lillie. I already don't spent a lot of time with her as it was because of my relationship with Sophia.

As I entered my tiny apartment, I was greeted by Mary and Lillie.

"Hi, baby." I gave her a kiss on the top of her pretty little head and I gave a quick peck on Mary's cheek, which I almost never do anymore since I met Sophia. We don't even hold hands at all anymore.

Mary was dressed in navy blue wrap dress that exenterated her curves and the dip between her breasts. Her hair was slicked back into a messy bun. She was wearing simple pearl earrings. Was she going somewhere? It was only early afternoon.

"Go get dressed in a suit, we are going to spend the rest of the day together, you and I."

"What? What about Lillie?"

I did not want to go anywhere.

"A babysitter. Your director hooked me up with one."

"Go on now." She smiled. It was a smile I hadn't seen in months.

Sighing wearily, I spoke to her softly, hoping not to anger her. "Mary, I am tired. I just want to spend the evening here at home with you and Lillie. We can go out another day, when I have the whole day off."

That smile of her face disappeared, sadness was etched over her pretty face. "I spent all morning planning this out."

"I know, I'm sorry." I felt and looked guilty.

So much had happened. I just want to move on.

Her eyes turned hateful towards me. "It's her, isn't it?

I didn't want to talk about it. "Let's not discuss this. I'd like to hold the baby. May I?" I held out my arms, waiting, but Mary turned in a huff and walked away from me.

"Mary, you can't keep me from my baby." I pleaded with her. "I want to hold her. Please."

It took her a moment to decide. I think she was going to say no to me, but she gave in.

Once again, I held out my hands and Mary placed the baby in them. I pulled Lillie up to my chest and she smiled at me.

"Daddy is here." I snuggled with her as I carried her over to the sofa and sat down. "How is my little girl?"

The baby just gurgled up at me. It was almost like she was trying to tell me something. What are you saying, baby?

I was just going to put it out of my mind and enjoy the time I was having with my baby.
