The Last Fall

TONY's POINT OF VIEW
Continuing from the last chapter;

"Are you mad at me for kissing you back that time?" I asked her as we placed our foreheads against each other.

She just stood there with her eyes closed. I closed mines as well and waited for her answer.

The way my hands fit so perfectly on her hips and the way she and I stood firmly in this moment made my heart fill up with hope.

"No...." She lowly told me. "Not at all. I wanted you to. This time and last time." She admitted as she looked up at me.

"Where do we go from here then?"

"I-...I don't know. I didn't even know that I was even gonna kiss you like...that." She said as she stepped back from me in a nervous manner. "It just feels like I shouldn't even be touching or kissing you..."

"What do you mean?" I asked her as my eyebrows knitted together. I walked over towards her and grabbed both of her hands. "You can touch me and you can kiss me." I reminded her as I looked down at our hands as they held each other. "I give you permission. See?" I said as I placed her right hand on my lower abdomen and held it there. "So, don't be scared to touch me or kiss me." I added as I looked at her eyes which were focused on her hand that rested on my body.

"MA!" We then heard Caiya yell from down the hallway. Cheryl immediately removed her hand from me and started walking out of the room. I watched her leave and then followed behind her.

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

Once I made it to Caiya's room, I found her sitting on her stool in front of a canvas.

I was shocked to see this.

She looked over at me and then at the blank canvas.

"I tried and nothing is coming to mind. Nothing at all..." She told me.

"Awh, baby girl. You just have to give it some time and think but not too much. I'm sure something will come into mind." I told her as I stood behind her. We both stared at the canvas together.

"Why is this so hard for me now?"

"Because you took a break." I said as I placed my hands on her shoulders. "Paint from your heart. Paint feelings or something. Something beautiful and something that represents you..." I said as I then looked over at Tony who appeared into the doorway. He stood there silently looking at the both of us.

"I guess I can try. I do kinda miss this I guess." She admitted as she looked up at me.

"I'm sure you do. If you come up with something later on....FaceTime me and show me, okay?"

She nodded her head and started swirling her wet paintbrush in the yellow paint.

"I love you and I'll see you soon." I then told her as I kissed the side of her cheek. After she said that she loved me back, I left out of the room.

Immediately after Tony and I were further down the hallway out of Caiya's view, I hugged Tony tightly and he hugged me back.
