Next To You

Fair play to him, he was in just his boxer shorts outside in the rain trying to stop me from getting into the car. It had been a long time since he told me he loved me. This touched a nerve.

Maybe I should stay.

"It's just SO hard...all the time. I constantly feel weak and I don't like it" I cried.

He came over to me slowly, putting my wet hair behind my ear and pulling my chin up gently to look at him.His blue eyes shed a tear as they looked directly into mine and we both fell into each other's arms as we cried.

When we pulled away, he looked over at the car. The door was open, with bags shoved in at random angles and the rain was blowing in like crazy.

"You go on inside, I'll get these". He touched my arm as the words left his mouth and I suddenly had a strong urge to kiss him.

"Hale" I called.

He turned around, looking a little hopeful.

I ran over to him, throwing my arms around his neck and pressed my lips against his, tasting the saltiness from the tears but also the sweet taste that I always got when I kissed him.

He turned me around so that my back was facing the car and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me over to the mustang. He shut the door and opened up the back one, laying me down inside and hovering over me, his gold cross swinging close to my face.

I had made up my mind.

I was NEVER leaving here.
