Her tears fell like the rain that night. He never thought that once he got this far he could stick in. She was strong, maybe even too strong for him, but her whispering calm voice and her pounding heart against his made his mind much stronger and every second with her next to him made him believe more and more that he would be there for her whenever she needed him to be.

He brushed the tears away as he moved closer to her. If love was supposed to feel good, then what was happening to him? As he met those deep, blue eyes and felt her hand gently touching his arm he couldn't help but wondering why he put himself through all this.

"Don't cry.." Was all he could say, while gently drawing his hand through her hair.

"I never thought I would get this lucky.." Her voice dug deep in his mind. Gosh, heaven help his heart!

"Oh, Catherine.." His words were stopped by the gentle touch of her lips against his. As he pressed her closer he could feel her shivering body against his, as if to show him how much she wanted him but at the same time show how deeply scared she was. Her warm lips made gentle moves against his and he had to bare himself not to put too much of passion onto her lips. He didn't know how to stop himself, but he let her lead. The gentle feeling of her tongue meeting his made him weak. Could he take much more?

As the kiss soon faded out and her lips slowly moved away from his, he opened his eyes only to see that hers still were closed, as if she was still trying to taste him.

Another tear fell at the white sheets that covered her bed. As her eyes opened, she moved closer and felt his arms cover her back. He felt her tears on his neck as she dug closer to him on his shoulder.

"I love you, Gil.." Her words felt so helpless and the tone of her voice was telling him all he needed to know.

He pressed her closer, as to give her all of his warmth and strength that she needed.

"I need to go, Cath, you know that."

He felt her nod, and he let go of her to turn away.

"Gil, stay."

He looked back at her. "Cath, Eddie will be home any time now.."

"Then, let me go with you.." As soon as she had said those words he could see that she knew that it was not going to happen.

He turned back and pressed his lips against hers once again.

"I love you so much.. I'll always be here, Cath." Her sobbing breath met his lips as he whispered those words only to turn away and walk out of her bedroom.

He felt his heart slowly grow heavier and heavier as he walked out of her house. He stopped outside her door and looked up at her bedroom window.

"I really love you.." He whispered as he continued walking down to his car.
