Behind Closed Doors(PeRyl One Shots):Volume 1

Sunflower I

When you're not around, and I'm feeling down. So won't you stay for a moment? So I can say I need you so

--
Tears running down her cheeks while holding on tightly onto her boyfriend's shirt for she didn't wanna let him go. It feels like she can't live without him anymore, but then she had to let him go at some point. She have no other choice but to do it.

"Babe,"She almost breathlessly cried and he gently lifted her chin up to see her beautiful eyes that he fell in love with.

"It will just be a few months. We'll see each other again soon, I promise you that. Please, stop crying."He whispered.

"I thought you're already staying?"She cried, burying her face on his chest.

"Baby, I need to do this. It's my job and it is the one way so I can save for our future."He answered, kissing her head.

"Don't leave today, do you have to leave today?"She asked again, still crying and he let out a sigh.

"I need to be there tomorrow. Meryl, baby, We've done this for many times now?It is my work baby, we will call everyday, have those sexy phone calls that I love."He whispered in her ear but she cried more.

"I have to touch myself again!"She whined and he laughed.

"It's not funny, Pierce!"She yelled, hitting his arm.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry."Pierce said and he slowly sat on the sofa.

"Come here."Pierce said softly and Meryl sat on his lap right away, straddling him.

"Please, stay, just for today."Meryl said, burying her face on his neck.

"Please?"Meryl whispered again and Pierce started rubbing her back.

"I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry."Pierce answered, pressing his lips on her forehead.

"My flight is in three hours, I had to leave. Please, understand."Piece whispered.

"I understand you, I always did. It's just that..."Meryl stopped and he hummed.

"Nevermind. You're still leaving."Meryl added and he let out a deep sigh.

"You know it's for my work, baby."Pierce said and she nodded.

"I know. And it will always be for your work."She whispered.

"Meryl, I can't just give this up, you know that."Pierce said and she looked at him.

"I am not saying that you give it up. I am just saying that everything that you do is always for your work."Meryl said whilst wiping her tears.

"What do you mean?I work because I love you and I want to work to save up for our future."Pierce retorted.

"If you work because you love me then make me your number one."Meryl said almost a whisper.

"Meryl, you are my number one."Pierce said and she shook her head.

"Your number one is your work, never me, Pierce. I...We've been in this relationship for what?Almost four years now?And if you calculate the time that I actually see you, it's only half of that four years or even less than half of that for years."Meryl said and Pierce slowly encircled his arms around her waist.

"Babe."Pierce whispered.

"It is true. Yes, we got this beautiful apartment, but it feels like I am the only one who own this. You know what sucks more in this set up of ours?When they ask if we really moved in with each other because I always answer "yes" but then, they will ask where you are and my answer will always be "work"."Meryl uttered.
