THREE WORDS

Recap:

"Sky, I never left. Never for a second would I leave you in here because you have my heart and I'm pretty sure I have yours." He says as he points to my heart.

He keeps his forehead against mine as he presses a kiss to my temple. "I think I'm in love with you, Sky." He says. What? Really? Love?

"You...you really think so?" I ask a bit stunned.

"Yes, I really think so."

"I...I... love you too, Xander." I say hesitantly. His mouth crashes against mine as though he's yearned for those three words.

"You have no clue. Absolutely no clue how long I've waited for this moment." He mumbles against my lips.

"So, you've loved me all this time?" I ask uncertain as I pull my lips away.

"Of course. I just never got the chance to say those three words, Sky. But, yes I've loved you." He says with passion. It makes me feel all warm. I hug him tighter and press my lips to his.

"I haven't heard those three words, since my father passed. I'd forgotten how comforting they are." I say to him.

"I'll keep reminding you till I die. I'll never let you forget how they make you feel, Sky." He says as he rakes his hands through my hair.

"I love you, Xander." I say against his mouth. I can feel the intensity of his lips increase with those words.

"Say it again." He commands.

"I've said it twice, Xander. Once was already hard to say." I respond.

"There's no limit to love, Sky. The sky has no height. I told you, I need this from you. I've needed this from you for so long. You've deprived me of this deep pleasure for so damn long, Sky. All I'm asking...no begging...for you to repeat those three words. You've left me starved for this feeling inside. I need you to tell me you love me. I want to be convinced that the feelings are mutual. I need you to do this for me. Is it really too much to ask for, Sky?" he says.

"No..no it's not...I love you, Xander Scott Smith. I think I've fallen so far in love that I can't get out." I say to him. He kisses me so hard it almost hurts. We kiss and talk for the next hour or so and then the question comes back to my head.
