The Crying Game

Late Night Texting

"I need you because I love you"

_______________

Alice Cadence '  POV

I begin to walk the lonely streets of London feeling the wind brushing my face. I pull out my phone as if waiting for him to text me again.

I adapted this habit as soon as we started speaking. I'd wait all day, looking at my phone every two minutes waiting for a call or text from my one true love.

Liam isn't coming back Alice, let it go.

I can't.  I need him to feel alive, to feel loved.

Pathetic, I know but you don't understand. He was what kept me living, he saved me from myself. 

As if reading my mind a text message from Liam showed up.

Li-Wanna meet for coffee? Meet me at Starbucks.

   Al- of course

  I smile and practically run to the coffee shop.

I look through the window and see Liam with two cups of coffee sitting there. Knowing mine would be tea as he's memorized my order.

I walk in and smile lightly, I slowly sit down as he passes me my order.

"So...how are you?" He asked, I nod and frown, "I'm getting use to not being able to be with you every day and night, it's harder than I thought it would be. What about you?"

"About the same,  it seems every little thing reminds me of you." We sip our drinks and leave as the owner told us they were closing.

We slowly walk back to my place, laughing and smiling about old memories.

"This was nice, I've not had a good time like this in forever."

He smiles and leads me to my door step.

Kiss me. Please just kiss me.

No. Stop it brain! I then realize he's leaning in for a kiss and my body doesn't stop him, I encourage.

I roughly kiss him back and open my door leading him in.

We fall on the bed and as he unzips my pants my brain wakes up.

"Wait, stop." He nods breathless and kisses me lightly on my neck.

"Can you just stay and...cuddle?" He chuckles and agrees.

2:30A.M.

"Remember that time you forgot your passport when we went to Italy?"

He laughed, "we had to get another flight."

"I missed this."

"Me too, Alice."

My eyes slowly close and just as I'm about to fall asleep I hear this,

"I'm still in love with you, Alice Cadence. "
