CHAPTER 01

Everyone was in the living room. Even though the TV was on no one was paying attention to it. Everybody was talking. The kids were getting back to themselves, slowly adjusting to how things had turned out to be. Even though her house was full of people, Reba felt emptiness in her heart. She could hear her kids talking but she wasn't listening to the words they were speaking. She just felt like somebody from the outside, watching a picture she couldn't fit in. Her heart was telling her to go, her mind didn't let her.

And those words started echoing on her mind, stronger than ever. She tried not to pay attention but they kept on repeating themselves.

I wanna lay in your bed

Stare in your eyes

Feel your heart beating with mine

One Last Time...

One Last Time...

Soon she heard someone coming from the backdoor; it was the blonde goofball who took her happiness away. It didn't take too long for her legs to start moving on their own, leading her to her car. Before she grabbed her car keys she wrote a note saying she was going for walk and left it at the door. She left. And no one noticed.

Reba got in the car and before turned it on she took a deep a breathe and repeat to herself,

Feel your heart beating with mine

One last time

One last time…

She knocked at Brock's door. When he opened the door he could hardly say a word, surprised to see the woman in front of him. A silence stood between the two.

May I come in? - asked Reba nervously

Sure… - replied Brock

Reba smiled.

So... is there any problem? - asked Brock since they have only talked about the divorce or if one of the kids was in trouble

No, everything was alright. I… I ... just needed to talk with you - said Reba with her eyes on the floor

Brock felt a gulp in his throat. What was left to talk? He thought.

What you wanna talk about? - he finally said

Us… - replied Reba almost like a whisper.

She took her eyes of the floor and looked to him. She could notice a tear trying to escape from his eye. She could see them sparkling from the tears he didn't want to let go. So, she said,

Never be any tears

That's not why I'm here.

Brock tried to hold them but they kept on falling. Reba got closer to him; she too had tears in her eyes. She cupped his chin before cleaning the tears that fall on his face. Brock brought her closer to his body and hugged her tight. When she felt him strongly wrapping her in his arms she let her tears fall.

She softly whispered close to his ear,

Baby, turn out the lights and lasts disappear.

One Last Time...

One Last Time...

Brock tried to talk but his first words were cut of when her lips had met his. And everything they once had come back to them. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said,

Cause I'm not here to fight

About who's wrong or right

I just want your kiss

I want to feel just like this.

One Last Time...

One Last Time...

She kissed him again, this time with more passion.

One last time… Brock, please one last time… - she begged him

Are you sure? - he asked concerned as he clean the tears on her cheek

Reba answered his question by kissing him with all her passion and love. That's all it took for him to understand her. He too wanted one last time, one last goodbye from the woman he loved, and would always love.

Your breathe on my neck

Reba leaned her head back giving him a better access to her neck. Brock filled it with butterfly kisses by putting his lips anywhere he could.

I don't wanna forget the smell of your skin.

Brock took a deep breathe; he didn't want to forget the smell of the redhead.

Touch me again.

One Last Time...

One Last Time...

Brock pulled her shirt off and soon his shirt was meeting hers on the floor. He kissed her right on the mouth and when her tongue started begging for an entrance he let her in. He softly caressed her back while reaching for her bra which soon would meet the clothes on the floor. He stood there, staring at the woman in front of him; it would be the last time he would feel her in his arms. Brock scooped her in his arms and without disconnecting his lips from hers he took her to his room. He gently lay her down in the bed. He only took his lips from hers to take a last look to the woman he loved. He kissed her lips before whispering to her,

I love you. I will always love you - and a tear rolled down from his eye

At the moment they lips had connected again water started to fall outside. And they made passionate love all afternoon while the rain blessed their love.

And then when you fall asleep

I'll kiss your cheek

Whisper goodnight

And I'll just bleed

One Last Time.

As Reba softly whispered those words to the man sleeping next to her, the goofball who had destroyed her happiness came back home.
