What If I Can't Forget You??

I Breathe You in with Smoke

"You- You love me?" Ella whispered, her voice quite and soft.

My hand was still across my mouth and I was regretting what i had just said. I remained quiet. Ella reached up and moved my hand from my mouth, but not letting go of it. She leaned towards me and our lips touched. 

It was gentle, but captivating. At first I was in shock, but then I started to kiss her back. Our lips pressed together time after time, transporting us to another world. With just the two of us there, the rest of the world disappeared. A fiery heat was brought to the cold February air. I reached for her, my hand brushing the strand of hair off her cheek as it slides ever so slightly past her ear. My thumb was softly caressing her cheek. This is the moment, I thought to myself. This is the moment I've been waiting for the entire time we've known each other.  I pull her body closer, and embrace Ella's small frame, holding her tightly against me, feeling the race of our hearts as one. 

As our lips pulled apart, a gentle breeze fluttered over us, extinguishing the heat. Our breathing came in short desperate gasps. The rest of the world is slowly coming back into focus. 

"Ella" I managed to say, my voice raspy.

"Tony" She smiled, her hand still placed around my neck. Our foreheads were almost touching, but not quite. I looked into her eyes. The streetlights were making them shine in the darkness. 

"I want you to know that this isn't just a phase. I've been feeling this way for a long time. I just didn't want you to feel under pressure, or awkward. Tell me if you don't want this, because aslong as you're happy, so am I" I told her, not wanting her to feel like she has to love me back.

"Tony you're the most important man in my life. You're the only one that's stuck here with me through thick and thin. You've always been there for me T, always. Remember  I was so drunk and needed a ride home from the club at 4am? You were there to come and pick me up, despite the time. Remember when I broke up with Evan? You were the one I called, even though you were sleeping. Even though you had your own problems, you listened to me ramble on, cry, vent and pour my heart out for hours. You didn't complain once. I'd be crazy not to love you..." she smiled, pulling me into a hug. I rested my head over her shoulder, took a deep breath and let myself take in what just happened.
