A Confession

Julia staggered into the room, as she came in she scanned the room identifying the whiskey bottle on the table next to the sofa. She attempted to walk over to it but instead she tripped over her own feet, she fell onto the floor knocking the table with the whiskey bottle over.

As she hit the floor she began to laugh, she then was startled by my voice, "my dear you really shouldn't be drinking as much as you do".

"And why would you care?" she said as she poured herself another drink missing the glass completely.

I rose up from the chair and began walking over to Julia, "Because my dear, you won't remember tonight", foolishly I placed my cold hand on her cheek and kissed her; she stepped back and broke the kiss.

"Wha- what do you think you're do-"I crashed his lips against hers again cutting her off mid sentence, this time she couldn't resist she closed her eyes and fell into the kiss she moaned slightly dropping the glass and placing her arms around my neck.

Then suddenly she pushed me back, "no I can't do this, we can't do this" she began to walk away

I grabbed her hand confused, "Why?"

"Because I know you like her", tear filled up in her eyes, "I know you like Victoria"

"No madam" I pulled her in, "this is a lie, I only have eyes for you" I kissed her gently on the head

"Some fucking eyes you've got them", she looked up at me and placed a kiss on my cheek before making her way to the sofa she sat down and removed her shoes.

I walked over to the sofa and sat next to her, her head fall onto my shoulder she began to cry softly, "My dear what on earth is the matter now?"

"I have a head-ache" she cried.

"Well then my dear I shall take you to your chamber" I picked her up so carefully as though she was a baby and I walked down the long dark hall of the Collinwood mansion until I reached her bedroom; I placed her down carefully on the bed (by this time Julia had fallen into a deep sleep) I placed the dark green cotton sheets over her and kissed her on the head before moving away, suddenly I felt her warm hand on mine.

"Stay with me Barnabas" she moved to one side and moved the sheets for me to get in.

Leave it Barnabas, walk away. I thought to myself. But she needs me. "Of course my dear", I walked towards the bed and slid in next to Julia, we just laid in each other's arms that night and all night I just kept thinking, I feel happy.
