Let me know what you think. Thanks to sparklymeg for helping me with this. I would never have gotten to under 200 words without her.
Tonight had been a mistake.
I just wanted to see him, hear his voice, be near him one last time.
"I should go."
"Running to the new boyfriend?"
Jealousy was a constant in our relationship.
"I'm not seeing anyone, I told you."
How do we say our goodbyes now?
"So stay." Cockily, he leaned back on the hotel bed propping himself up on his elbows. I drank him in; we drove each other crazy, but it wasn't healthy.
"I can't, I… "
I started towards the door; he blocked my way.
"Don't go," he choked. The pain in those perfect dark eyes killed me.
Don't let him see you cry. There'll be no going back.
The heat radiated off his body like a warning; it wouldn't be long until I was lost.
"Stay," he pleaded, his breath at my ear.
His lips trailed fire along my jaw, searching for my mouth. I opened eager to him, hungry.
Too long, it had been too long.
Our love burned too bright; smoldering hot. A love to be suffered, not rejoiced.
I broke away with a sob.
Our eyes, our souls met in a silent goodbye.
This would be our last kiss.
