"Are you going to try and ignore me forever?"
She froze in her tracks. She felt his presence before he had even uttered a word and hoped it was just her imagination. When he spoke, she felt the deep rumble of his voice in her chest and it shook her to the core. It also began to pull at her heartstrings and stir the slightest remnants of lust that she had been trying to suppress. She didn't want to have to be there and deal with all the emotions again. That was part of the reason for ignoring him. She didn't want to fall back into the twisted tango they always seemed to revert into. A complicated dance of love, lies, and broken hearts that continued on until one of them went to fast and the other was able to stumble back off of the dance floor. Dave had other thoughts in mind obviously and she had learned the hard way that he was a determined man and what he wanted ten times out of ten he got. Now he wanted her. Again.
She heard the soft tap of his shoes as he continued to walk closer to her. With each step he took she could feel herself getting trapped in his gravity field. And in response she took steps of her own. She couldn't allow herself to fall back into orbit again. She had been strong this time. Seven months they had been apart and she couldn't believe it. The longest they had ever been apart, and still she wasn't truly over him. How could she after being with him on and off for the past four years? It sickened her though. Being attached to him the way she was. They only thing that helped the sick fixation on him was the fact that she knew he was the same way. He hadn't moved on yet either and that was why he was trying to trap her in again.
Being his mammoth size he eventually caught up to her two doors down from her hotel room. Which had coincidentally been his own room.
"You're not going to say anything to me without your lawyer present?" She almost laughed at that one. Mickie was her 'lawyer'. She constantly shielded her from anything Dave related. She was the main reason why she had been able to steer clear from Dave for seven months. Mickie was the one to give her a look or stern lecture whenever she was considering to fall back into orbit because it was normal and she thought she could brave it again. Had Mickie been here now she would have given Melina a hard shove and all but threw her into the hotel room and yelled at her about doing it to herself again. As her best friend Mickie felt it was her duty to give the much needed reality checks and remind her of all the reasons why Dave was shit, or an asshole and why Melina needed to do better. But even with all the lectures, most times Melina couldn't help it and reverted back onto the familiar embrace of Dave's arms. This time didn't seem any different.
"I've missed you more than you could imagine." This time the words actually vibrated through her as her head rested on his massive chest. She didn't know what to say. This moment between them could easily change from a bittersweet reuniting to a full out shouting match. It happened occasionally. One of them would sarcastically comment on what it was that made them break up whether it be cheating or just being flat our rude and mean to the other and treating them like trash. Someone would say something and the fight would begin and they would get all heated and end up having sex somewhere. It happened when they weren't really ready to get back together. Someone still holding on to the resentment they felt for the other and it stifled any progress they could have made. Eventually the high from the sex would wear off and they would be right back to square one and would be broken up again in a couple of months.
"I'm glad you want to give us another chance. I love you so much. You have no idea how hard the past months have been on me. I swear this time it will be different". Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't want to do it to herself. Create the false hope that this time would be it. That things had actually changed. That they had matured suddenly and could handle the relationship only for it to come crashing down at some point in the future and she ended up feeling worse. But it was different. He never outright came out and said that he actually missed her while they were apart. Or initiated the love talk. It was a huge stride and enough to momentarily blind her from all the of negative reasons of their joining.
"I love you too. And missed you more than you could imagine." And just like that everything seemed to be perfect in their world. She fell in line with him again and like every other time they promised each other that this was it. Together forever like in the fairytales.
Later that night after the third round of amazing make-up sex they just laid there basking in the joy of being together again. There was a reason why they had been doing the same dance for the past four years. When they were on, it surpassed the roughness of any off time they had or rough patched they went through. The love was genuine, and they did care for each other. No one could understand how they ever got to the stage where the break up was approaching. It was like suddenly someone flipped the switch on their what seemed like post-marital bliss and turned it to the bitter divorce dial. They yelled and argued even physically fought at sometimes. And tore each other down with words until someone ran to another for comfort and ended up cheating on the other. It was a strange cycle that many didn't understand and even fewer tried to get a grip on. But it was how they operated.
"Let's pray that seventh times the charm for us. I honestly can't think of anything else for us to break up over." Dave said as he began to shower Melina's body in kisses. She just smiled and accepted the attention she was getting. This time had to be the final because she could already picture the look on Mickie's face when she found out they were together, and something told her she just might be one friend down after this. That and the fact that she felt if she broke out of orbit another time it just might cause an implosion or spontaneous combustion because she didn't think she could handle another severe break up. She refused to go through it all again.
AN: So yeah it's new and it's another one. I swear this has been floating around in my head for the past year. I love how the two compliment each other and are both so strong willed. I have a bit of it done and will post more once I get a bit of a response. I want to know what you all think of it. Trust me the drama of it all is sure to come I mean they've broken up seven time for a reason ;)
