Heavens On Fire

Torn

I'm not sure if you guys follow Gene on Twitter but he tweeted this picture of himself from a while ago. And might I just say wowza. Quite the handsome man!!! Total heart throb if I do say so myself. ;) Carry on then.

It was Saturday and the boys were all awake, Alex was still sleeping. Paul figured he would let her sleep in for once. It was 6am and it was the least he could do for her. The past couple of days had been rough on her. Paul put the last of his things in the suitcase he had. Alex moved a bit, letting out a long sigh. Paul turned his head and watched as Alex turned, her hair was in her face. He walked over and laid next to her and pushed the hair out of her face. God, she's so beautiful. How did I get so lucky? He smiled and rubbed her cheek. She smiled softly and leaned into his hand. Paul kissed her forehead and got up to continue packing. Gene walked in, slowly opening the door to not wake up Alex.

"Paul, I need to talk to you."

"What's up Gene?"

"It's about Alex."

"I figured it was. What's wrong?"

"I just... Paul, you're my friend and I don't want to ruin our relationship. But Paul, I want her. I want her Paul, so damn bad."

Gene looked over at the sleeping woman. He had never been so conflicted in his life. Paul sighed and looked over at Alex.

"Gene, I have no choice of making her want you, or giving her to you. She makes her own choices and if she chooses you in the end then ok. But until then, she's my girl Gene."

Gene sighed and nodded.

"I guess you're right. She's an amazing girl Paul, the most amazing one I've ever met."

"She's the most amazing one I've met too Gene. How did we get lucky enough to find this woman? We're nothing but assholes and then this woman practically fell into our lives."

"She's gonna come between us, you know that right?"

"I do. We just have to get through it. We're friends Gene, not rivals."

Gene nodded and patted Paul's back. They were like brothers, but this girl was going to give them hell.

"Do you want to wake her up?"

Gene looked over at him and nodded. Paul stood up and walked out, leaving Gene and Alex alone.

"I need to shower anyways."

Paul closed the door as he walked out. Gene looked over at Alex who was still fast asleep. She was snoring lightly, her chest heaving up and down with every breath.

"Oh Kitten, you don't know how badly I want you. Not just for sex, I want you for you. You're so perfect and beautiful, and god you're so tough. I... I honestly think I'm falling in love with you. But you're with Paul and I can't show you my love without risking our friendship. I want to show you the world and protect you Kitten, you're so young and you haven't seen hardly anything. I want to show you that there's more to me than a sex hound. I want to show you the side of me no one has ever seen. I want to open my world up to you and let you in and break down the walls I have built up inside of me. And most of all, I want to tell you all these things to your face while you're awake and in my arms. Kitten, you're so amazing and I wish I could have found you that night. I wish I could have been the one to save you from that fucking bastard. Maybe, just maybe then I would have had that closeness you and Paul have. Maybe you would be fast asleep in my bed right now. But maybe doesn't change the situation. If I could show you how much I care for you, I might have a chance with you. I'm going to try to show you and respect your relationship with Paul, Kitten. I'm going to make you see who I really am."
