Haley James Scott sighed shutting her front door and walking up to her room. She was at a point past disappointment. Her husband was stationed overseas and she thought he would have been home by now. The other day she heard her two best friends talking and picked up on words like "Nathan...Coming home early...surprise...at lunch." So then of course when Lucas asked her out to lunch that day she thought he would show up there, but he didn't. She must have heard the conversation wrong.
She had worn a nice dress but went up to her room to change into sweats and one of his t-shirts. She missed him desperately and didn't know how much longer she could be without him. Grabbing her guitar she sat on their bed and started to play, her way of venting.
Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
Would you tremble
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
For the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.
Haley stopped playing, that was when she broke down leaning on her guitar as she cried.
"I think the next words are I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away." She jumped as he spoke, looking over she saw him standing int he door way. She froze, unable to move. "Hi baby."
"Hi" She whispered as he moved to sit on their bed next to her and pull her into his arms.
"I missed you." He punctuated with a kiss to the crown of her head. She only nodded into his chest as she clang to him for dear life. He took in her scent and looked her up and down as best he could. "You take my breath away." She smiled against him as he felt his heart racing faster than ever before.
