I Could Die For You (Editing In Progress)

56

"John?"
I tied my rob and stepped outside as John rubbed his watering eyes.
Before I could say another word, John was kneeling on the ground, fists of my clothing in his hands as he sobbed into my stomach.
I was stunned, what the fuck?
My first reaction was to pull John up to his feet, where I hugged him tightly.
When he sobs calmed down to a quiet crying, I asked what was wrong.
"T-Tony broke up with me."
This explains why John was so upset.
"I'm so sorry John."
He sniffled and wiped his nose with the sleeve of his shirt. "It's okay. I knew it was coming."
I felt so bad for John. Whenever we were together he talked about Tony. There was no doubt in my head that he loved her. I just couldn't believe she broke up with him.
I gave him another hug and kissed his cheek, "Hot chocolate?"
He smiled weakly, "Sounds good."
We walked down to the cafe area, and sat down with our cups of the hot liquid and some marshmallows, along with a few brownies.
John seemed to calm down with each bite and sip our of food.
"So, what happened?"
He took a deep breath. "Tony was upset that we're away from each other so much. I told her it's not easy for me either, but she was completely ignoring my pain. When I brought all of my struggles up and how she was ignoring them, she got pissed. So I fought back, and then she wouldn't speak to me for three days. When I called tonight to see if she would talk, she answered, but to say we were over."
When he finished talking, he started to cry again.
"John, it's okay. Trust me. I've been through bad relationships a lot, it gets better! You just need to find someone else, okay?"
He nodded through tears and then frowned.
"I didn't mean what I said earlier, Lilly."
"Say what?"
"About you not being important... I didn't mean it. I wasn't thinking and I let my emotions take over. You know I care about you deeply, right?"
I nodded. "I know John. I feel the same."
"No, Lilly. I love you, and no one has meant this much to me in a while. You're fantastic, you know?"
I laughed and felt my cheeks flush, "I love you too."
He smiled and then took a swig from his hot chocolate.

Sunshine flooded into the room, and I rolled over in the clean, soft white sheets. Hotel rooms were my kind of rooms.
I rested in the bed a little while longer, stretching out, all with my eyes closed.
When I finally opened them, Anthony was staring at me with a beautiful, relaxed smile on his lips.
"Good morning Doctor Lilly."
I chuckled and wiped the sleep from my eyes, "Good morning baby. How are you feeling?"
"Like a million bucks. Thanks to you."
"And your immune system."
He laughed and pulled me against his chest, wrapping me in a warm embrace.
"So, we're on the road again today for a show in Arizona."
I sighed, "I don't want to get out of bed with you."
"Neither do I. Trust me."
"What if I don't?"
"I'll make you."
I laughed, "Oh yeah?"
Before I had any time to move away, Anthony pulled up my shirt and was kissing my belly and tickling my sides.
"ANTHONY STOP!! ANTHONY!!!" I said in fits of laughter.
He pulled up for a second, "CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF YOUR UNTRUSTFULLNESS."
He pressed his mouth on me once more, my stomach starting to hurt from laughing so hard.
"ANTHONY! PLEASE!"
Anthony chuckled against my skin, and gently kissed my belly button, seemingly finishing off with the tickling routine.
"Do you trust me know?"
I smiled, "More than anyone."
