Chapter 2

"Hey, baby" I said quietly. "How are you feeling?" I asked as my eyes were searching her face for any signs of discomfort. I already knew the answer though, today was a little bit worse than yesterday and I had been preparing myself for that. She smiled softly though and just looked up at me with her big chocolate brown eyes. The only thought that came in to my head was how beautiful she looked, even now, pale skin and tired eyes. She still had that spark that made her my Mimi. I brushed the hair out of her eyes as she was sitting up. I slowly held a glass of water out to her with her medication, accepted both and took the medication with ease. The coughing had stopped filling the room with an eerie silence, we had both been up late the past few nights and into the early morning hours sometimes even because of the coughing fits. I didn't mind staying up with her but I could tell she was in tremendous amount of pain because of the coughing, I didn't want her to be in any pain at all.

When she was done with the water I set it down on our makeshift night stand, it was a little table that Angel had given Mimi for her birthday a couple of years after they had met. Angel had covered this table with all sorts of colors of paint and random inspirational quotes, Mimi loved that table and when I had first seen it , it was evident to me why she loved it so much. You could literally feel the love jumping off of that table.

As I slipped off my shoes and leather jacket, she was adjusting herself in the bed to make herself more comfortable in the bed. I slid in next to her, she curled up with me instantly. I spooned her body close to my chest and wrapped my arms around her.

"Roger, promise me something." She spoke up softly .

"Anything baby." I quickly replied

" Be here with me holding me like this when I die"

I swallowed back the tears that were now gathering in my eyes. I tried to reply with a strong steady voice but I faltered slightly , "Of course, I will but lets not think about that" Mimi interrupted me "Baby , we have to deal with it at some point. I want to now, no day but today, you know its okay right ? I am not scared and you shouldn't be either. Okay ?" That made me wanna scream, No Its Not Okay ! You aren't allowed to leave me, I can't loose you. But I just felt the lump in my throat grow and I stayed silent for awhile and kissed her forehead and trailed down to her lips , as I pulled her closer to me.

"I love you so much Mimi, I will always love you forever. I don't know what I am going to do without you." She softly interjected " Baby, you will be fine and you will live for the moment." My eyes again filled with tears but they didn't fall. She lifted her head up and pressed our lips together. The contact woke both of us up greatly and the intense emotions were flooding the room with ease. She finally broke the kiss after my protest for a bit. She leaned in towards me ear. " I want to , I want you to know just how much I love you. I want you to make me forget everything but us in this moment, I want you so much right now." She finished softly with only desire filling her small but strong voice.

We began kissing and just let our hands roam everywhere. Rather her hands were roaming, mine stayed firmly on her waist, I didn't want to hurt her in anyway. I was afraid she was to fragile to do this, I was afraid she was too weak.. But the passion behind her touches and kisses were slowly reassuring me but I was still hesitant to move my hands from their current position. I slowly trailed kisses up her neck and stopped at her ear only whispering " Are you sure that you want to do this ?" She didn't miss a beat

"Of course baby." as she finished she began pulling at my shirt, trying to remove it from my body. I finished removing my shirt and we were lip locked again in an instant. My hands making slow movements just at the hem of her shirt. She spoke up " I am not going to break in to pieces you know ..." I replied with "I know but I don't want to hurt you on accident or something" She said "Baby, it's not possible. So please stop worrying at let us enjoy this for now."

I nodded and kissed her on the cheek and let my hands continue their journey and relaxed myself next to her and just lets us feel each other. She pulled me on top of her after all of the articles of clothing that had once separated were now gone. She arched her soft body against mine firm one and she pulled me closer to her. I asked her once again if she was sure she wanted to do this and her response was thrusting her body against mine hoping I would get the picture , I did. As we became one I was overwhelmed actually we both were. Tears were streaming down our faces and she was reaching up to wipe mine away as I was reaching down to wipe hers away. We didn't move for a while just stayed completely together as one. We had a pair of our hands interlocked with each other above her head while my other arm was supporting my weight. I showered her face and neck in kisses and mixed with our tears. The candle light was perfect and just added to the memory. The tears slowed as our bodies began reacting to each other and the tension began to overtake us. Even through our now sporadic breathing increased Mimi didn't have any difficultly with her breathing and there was no coughing at all that was a relief for both of us. As our bodies found the release they so desperately sought out the emotion of the whole thing began to overtake us again, the gravity of the moment seemed to make us loose it even more. The tears were again there evident more than ever. I didn't break the bond that we had until it was absolutely necessary to and the pain that I felt when I had to leave the warmth of her body made me sick to my stomach.. I got up from the bed to find some clothes to put back on our bodies to keep us warm and I redressed her , wrapped a blanket around us. She was not only physically but emotionally spent as was I but the smile that she had when she slipped into my arms was so apparent it made me smile softly. We cuddled next to each other whispered I love you's over and over again until she drifted off to sleep. And then only then I would let myself fall asleep next to the woman that I loved, and that I feared I would loose all to soon. I was not ready to face the reality that seemed to be sneaking up on me all too quickly.
