Chuck Noland couldn't believe it. Sitting in the car beside him was Kelly Frears, the love of his life. They were driving back to his hotel room, unsure of the future. One thing was certain- they loved each other and that no matter what happened that love would guide their path. It would be a rocky one, to be sure. Kelly was leaving behind a daughter and a husband who would not understand. She would fight for her daughter, but she would deal with that later. Right now they had each other, something that they had never really thought would happen again.
Pulling up to the hotel, Chuck looked at Kelly nervously. What were they doing? Was this really happening? Could they really forget about everything and give in to each other's deepest desires? There was only one way to find out.
He held the door open for her and took her hand, remembering all of the times he had done that previously. So many memories flooded his mind, not just of Kelly but of the island as well.
You wouldn't happen to have a match by any chance?
His first words to Wilson he would never forget. Wilson. How could he ever explain that to anyone? Wilson was his friend, his only friend when he needed one the most, and now he was gone and Kelly was here. Chuck knew what he would do- he would buy a new volleyball. Not that it would take Wilson's place of course, but it would serve as a reminder of what he had had, and that was good enough for him.
Inside the hotel Chuck fumbled with the key and finally managed to open the door. The walk to the room was one of nervous silence and excitement, both knowing what was about to happen but neither of them willing to put into words for fear they jinx their night. Just for the night they wanted to forget all of their problems, all of their cares, all of their worries, and just be…
"Can I get you something? Some Coke? I can get some ice? Great stuff that ice," Chuck marveled.
"No thank you. I'm fine," Kelly smilled nervously.
"So…"
"So…"
Suddenly Kelly wrapped her arms around Chuck's neck and kissed him passionately, throwing herself into the moment. At first he was taken aback but this was Kelly for goodness sake and this was a moment he'd dreamed of for years. He pulled her close to him, never wanting to let go and pressed her tightly against him. He ran his hand along her dress and allowed himself to trace every curve, remembering how soft she felt against his touch. It didn't take them long before he had entered her, pressing softly but firmly against her until she cried out in pleasure and he knew that he'd taken her where he wanted to. She cried out again before it was his turn and they both collapsed in exhaustion.
They exchanged I love you's and settled into a deep sleep, which was a good thing because they needed all the rest they could get for the long road ahead.
