Just a little teaser for something new here since we are approaching the ending of Jo and Austin’s story. Huge shout out to @postylove74 for hyping me up for this one! It’s definitely a different vibe from Jo and Austin’s romance, but I hope you guys will enjoy it! Let me know what you think!
What Don’t Belong To Me…
"Syd, it's me. Please come.. I need you... please..."
It was the call I was way too familiar with. It was always in the middle of the night, with his voice so soft sometimes it only comes out as a whisper. The call I never rejected, even when it had been months since we had spoken. He does need me, I know he does, he knows I need him too.
I always show up, some nights it's because I'm worried what would happen if I didn't. Some nights it's because I've missed him so much it hurts.
I don't need a bag, my life has been tangled with his for so long that our boundaries are completely blurred. I tell him I love him and that I'm on my way. I will always show up.
I call the gatehouse when I get to the first house on his street, so they know to expect me. They give me a smile and a friendly nod as I pull up. Parking in my usual spot and hurrying up the front steps, my fingers finding the house key on my ring by memory. I step quietly through the door into the dark house, punching in the code to the security system... the date we met... and slip off my shoes before nearly running barefoot down the hall to his bedroom.
The door is open just a crack and I shut it quietly behind me. I quickly step out of my pajama pants and slip in bed beside him. He reaches out for me immediately and I sink into his arms. He just holds me tight to his chest for a moment, his hands are warm through the cotton of my tee shirt, I can tell he's crying from the way his chest shakes.
"I love you Sydney... I'm so sorry I do this to you."
