Title: Uninvited Demon
--
Margaret
rolled over into someone. She wasn't sure who or what it was or
even
where she was. All she remembered was ice skating with Leo,
dinner
with Leo, kissing Leo and SLEEPING WITH LEO! Oh, gosh this
is beyond not
good. Margaret fought to wake up from this dream.
She closed her eyes
and then opened them again. She was still in
the same place and sure
enough Leo was sleeping next to her. His
arm loosely placed around her.
She shot out of bed in such a hurry
that she woke Leo out of a sound
sleep.
"Baby, What's the matter?"
"What?" Margaret asked confused
and trying her hardest to remember where
she was. "Oh,
nothing go back to sleep. Margaret said as she got out of
bed and
walked over to the door.
"Margaret!" Leo shot out of
bed and blocked her way out of the room.
This wasn't her.
"Leo, please move."
"Not until you tell me what's wrong."
"Leo…"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm confused. I need space."
"Leo moved over but she didn't move. "I'll take you home."
"You don't have to."
"Yes, I do."
Leo
moved away from the door and this time Margaret walked through
down
to the bathroom. When she reappeared she looked for Leo but
couldn't
find him. "Leo!"
"Out here."
Margaret walked down the hall and into the kitchen.
"Coffee?"
Margaret walked passed him "No thanks, I just want to go home."
"Margaret, can we talk about this?"
"There's nothing to talk about."
Leo grabbed her arm and she quickly pulled away.
Leo was in shock. "Just
listen to me then. I don't regret
what we did last night. I care for you
and this just feels right
to me. It's okay to be confused and unsure of
this but it will
work out.
"Okay! Leo we slept together!"
"Yes.
Yes, we did but there's a difference between sleeping with each
other
and making love to each other. Margaret, we held each other,
we
kissed, and we fell asleep together. We didn't make love, even
if we had
we still wouldn't have done anything wrong. Why are you
acting like
this?"
"I…I'm confused. I don't
want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt this
administration and I
don't trust myself. Last night, this morning,
holding you and
being held by you, it just felt right. It scares me
Leo. I need
time." Margaret got up and ran out of the room and walked
out
the door. Margaret decided that she would walk for a while and
think.
He had moved closer to work since the divorce so she decided to
walk
to her favorite place.
She walked down the steps and sat on
one towards to bottom. She looked
into the reflecting pool and
lost herself in her thoughts. This
relationship scares the hell
out of me and it's not Leo or the press. We
can deal with them
now. Commitment that is what bothers me, making love
and opening
up to him that more then scares me. Margaret knew she would
have
to tell him sooner or later and then he would wonder why? Why, if
she
was scared of making love to him did she want to be with him
last
night? How was she supposed to explain that to him?
