Neither Bey nor Larry knew how long they sat there lip locked. It felt like forever. Larry was too afraid that this was a dream to move. His eyes were hurting from how wide they got.
Once Bey realized he was frozen in place, she stood up and looked down at him. He stared up at her with terrified eyes. It made her feel awful. So she ran to the jet's bathroom, locked herself in, and her mind began to race.
~Bey's POV~
'Why did you do that? What the hell is wrong with you? He told you he was getting over it so you go and kiss the man?' I was so angry at myself. That look on his face would be impossible to forget. He looked at me like I was a serial killer. 'I'm married and he has a girlfriend for pete's sake. Stop thinking with your heart and use your damn brain.' I should just stay in here until we land.
"Monster?" I can tell he's right outside the bathroom.
Oh shit. "Yes Larry?" I reply.
"Umm. I sorry for the crush thing but can you tell me why you kiss me." He sounds concerned but hopeful.
'Because I love you.'
"It seemed like you were about to have a panic attack so I did it to calm you down. I'm sorry if I confused you but it was only to help you." I was lying through my teeth. I wanted to kiss him since the day I saw him.
"Oh." He started to back away from the door. "Its ok, thanks Monster. You too nice to me."
He sounded so hurt that I felt the pain. I was a real jerk for lying but I did it to keep us both out of trouble. He would be completely over me in the blink of an eye, though it would hurt I'd be happy knowing he's happy.
'Don't ruin this for yourself! Tell him the truth!' I unlocked the door and stepped out the bathroom. He was back in his seat, looking out the window. 'Good lord. He's gorgeous.'
"Monster?" He didn't even look at me.
"Yes?" I hope he's gonna say something to make all of this ok.
Finally turning his head towards me with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "I mean everything I say to you. It never gonna change. Not even for Lani." He says wholeheartedly.
The words almost knock me off my feet onto my ass. "Larry please don't tell me that."
"Why not?" He questioned.
"Cause we shouldn't even be feeling this way towards each other. I'm married."
"Are you happy?"
My breath caught in my throat causing my chest to cave in, I wasn't expecting that question from him. Not that it was a difficult question, I knew the answer but for some reason it wasn't coming out in words at the moment. He stood and came towards me slowly, his glare becoming more intense with each step that he took.
"I say...are you happy?"
I didn't feel myself taking steps back the closer he got to me, I know the answer it's right on the tip of my tongue. I parted my lips and prepped my mouth to say what needed to be said but his sudden touch on my arm sent a spark all the way to my core, making me forget all common sense.
"I'm marr...married...Larry."
"But are you happy belle?"
We were now mere inches apart, my breathing was heavy and forced. I was frozen, I wanted to move but I couldn't, I wanted to speak but that wasn't going to happen. You're happy and in love with one man, you've taken that love and created the most beautiful thing on earth with this one man. Why is it so hard to say I'm happy when it's the truth?
