Can't Fight This Feeling.

L'amour Existe Encore.

She takes off her stage clothes and wears her dress and coat again, before stepping out of her camerino. 

Susanne is outside her door. “Susanne... how long have you been there?” She asks nervous. “Sweetheart, don’t worry about that now” she hugs her in such a tender way that melts her heart. 

“He is waiting for you, he must be worried” she whispers in her ear, and Celine looks at her atonished.

“You both have learnt nothing if you think you can hide things from me” she winks at Celine as Nick arrives. 

“Ma’am we are clear to go” he says and she can swear there’s a little smile on his face.  Had he hit Kurt? She didn’t want to know right now but she was convinced her staff didn’t like him pretty much.

“We’re not going home tonight” she says extending a little note to the driver. “Of course boss” he says joking and leaves the garage.

They arrive within minutes and she’s nervous and anxious. She knew she should have done this a long time ago, but she needed courage as Rene had said.

We’ll be waiting” Nick says from front. “That wouldn’t be necessary, see you tomorrow guys, and thank you” she gets down the car, and walks to his door, his place is definitely smaller than her house.

She rings the bell and the door immediately opens, Rene embracing her so tightly, closing softly the door behind them. He kisses her, leaving little kisses on her lips.

“Can I stay the night?” She asks, she doesn’t feel like coming to her house, she could t call it home. He is her home.

“You can stay forever” he whispers and kisses her forehead, still not letting her go from his arms.

"Do you want anything?" He asks her, his hands stroking her back softly "I would love to take a bath" she whispers softly "of course baby" he says and guides her towards his bedroom.

“Wait here as I fix everything" he tells her, gesturing the bed so she sits there grabbing a pillow taking it to her nose.

René's scent invading her immediately, as she hears the water running in the bathroom. A few seconds later he comes back to the room and announces that everything is ready.

"Merci" she whispers softly "I'll leave you alone" he says and tries to walk away but she grabs his hand stopping him. "Join me" she asks him, and there's no way he's saying no to her.

He undressed her, marveled at the sight of her body only in her panties. “Let me” he whispers and hooks his fingers on each side, sliding them down, caressing her while doing so. 

He undressed himself quickly and helps her get in the warm water. She sits between his legs, her back resting on his chest, the warmness of his body is even more relaxing than the soothing water. 

She’s finally at peace, being able to be with him, not worrying about someone else. Although she knew they had many things to worry about yet.

“Susanne knows” she whispers, as he caresses her arm, getting it wet with his own hand. “I know. I thought we were so good at disguising it” he mutters finally making her laugh. 

He kisses her head, her hair slowly getting wet, looking darker, just like when he had met her. He was so glad to finally have her in his arms, but he couldn’t enjoy it to the fullest. He was worried, and completely clueless of what had happened in that dressing room.

“Kurt knows” she says, she hates bringing his name in the conversation, but they both knew they would eventually need that talk.

He stays in silence for a moment, his hand stopping its caresses, then reassuming them, sliding his fingers over her chest.
