A One Time thing

Chapter 6

I call for a taxi and head over to the penthouse and get everything in place. The decorations are set, the candles are lit now all I need is the love of life, here to spur me on. What am I even going to say? Is my speech prepared? Do I have a speech?

I place my sweaty palms on my laps and clear my head, now is not the time to worry about all these things, now is the time to think about all the happy moments I'll spend with him, now is the time to think of how happy he'll be when I tell him all things I have planned. Now is the time to think of only happiness and nothing more.

The ding of the elevator sounds and he's here, my knight in shining amour, my prince that's goofy, yet so very charming.

"Love!" he calls out, most likely looking for me in the nearby library as he enters, I like to read late nights and study, so he usually sneaks up behind me and place a kiss right behind my ear. I chuckle as I place my right palm behind my right ear reminiscing the memories we've had, and thinking about the more that's too come.

"I'm in here, J" I yell back laughing at the end of the sentence. This is the most enthusiastic I've been about anything, even my job as an actress hasn't left me this happy in a very long time.

"I have something to discuss wi- wow", he opens his mouth in awe at everything, I smile widely and walk over to him.

"Close your mouth, you'll attract flies, but first I have something to tell you so just sit down" I order, I drag him to one of the couches and seat him down. This is it, no speech plan, no over the top planning, this is how I'm going to do this, and this is it. "I have actually been meaning to tell you this for a few days and I finally have the courage to tell you everything I need to, from the first day I met I thought you were too good for me, actually my exact thoughts were, is this some sort of joke? But then it wasn't actually it was the best thing that happened to me, when we first met my career was in the gutters I thought this was it, the end of my not-even started career. But then you came along, with your wittiness and unbelievably annoying yet charismatic personality and it felt like my world was in place, like I could do anything. I felt great and that was because of you. You brought me joy in so many ways I can't even begin to count and-" I stop myself and let out a quiet sob, he has little tears in eyes and that irritates me a bit, because, hey! He wasn't supposed to cry, I wasn't but I couldn't even do that right.

"Meg-" he starts but I cut him off.

"No don't, let me finish because you know that I won't say this again, your ego's already big enough" I let out a wet chuckle.

"An-and for all that you've done. I love you, I love you so much, more than you can even imagine" I finish kissing him on the lips making it last as long as possible, every moment with him is pure bliss.

"Megan" he calls my name softly after we pull apart. I look up at him and smile "yes, my love" I cajole pressing a chaste kiss to his lips.

"I'm leaving"

And there it is the punch line of the joke, the last comment that every laughs at.

The last line that shatter my heart to a million pieces. The last straw.
