Once outside he realized it was still pouring. Rubbing his leg he looked around quickly for Lisa. He finally found her she was walking toward the bus station overhang to wait for a cab. He ran towards her. He thought to himself, why isn't her Mother picking her up? The pain in his leg nearly him like a bus, or should we say a cab. But he ignored it; he couldn't let her go, not like this, not at all, not ever.
By now he was soaking wet. His converse him hard on the pavement and water splashed, as he got closer to the overhang.
There were two cab drivers coming, they pulled over three buildings away at the Guido's restaurant. So instead of flagging them down she walked over to them. It was easier, besides she had an umbrella. She had no idea Greg had run after her.
He caught up to her and although he was out of breath he still spoke, "Lisa listen to me." She slowed her pace but continued walking.
He continued to speak, "I'm sorry."
"Leave me alone Greg." He whipped the wet hair out of his face and his right hand moved to his leg as he slowed down.
"Hey?" He said and she turned to him and added, "Why did I believe for one moment, no actually for half my life, that you would be right for me? I thought you had changed I really did Greg. If you trusted me you would've told me about your brother. You just… you never changed." She stopped walking and held her umbrella tightly.
He looked her in the eyes, "You're right."
Her eyebrows furrowed. The rain began to come down harder and every drop stung. His arms tingled a bit.
"You're right," He repeated and in a completely defeated manner he threw his arms up.
It was then she realized he didn't have his cane. God the amount of pain he must be in right now. She thought to herself, all for me. Her face softened.
The raindrops beaded down his face and chest. "I didn't tell you about Justin because you already had enough shit to deal with, you almost died remember? And well, quite frankly my brother was my business, not yours. So go ahead and flag down that cabby driver and you'll never see me again. But before you do and I go quit know this. The other day when I found you, I needed you just to know I love you. Life's short. I thought then I might loose you then and now, now I know I'm gonna. But, at least now you know the truth."
He pushed his hair out of his face and to the side again and avoided her eyes. Right now he was risking everything, his job, life, and love, and he knew it.
Thunder began to rumble. "Greg," she said totally speechless.
"There is no one…" She began, " That I would rather… spend the rest of my life with, then you."
His eyes found hers as she walked up to him and cupped his face. Her umbrella had been put on the ground next to their shoes. The cab driver began to drive away.
Now they were both soaking wet. A lightening bolt flashed in the sky and thunder rolled once again. He smiled, "I love you so much." He put his forehead against hers. "Cuddy I've tried to tell you since you had the Jewish ceremony. I want to be there for you and Rachel." That was the first time he had called her baby by name.
She smiled and he lifted her up slightly off the ground, careful off her arm and spun her a bit. She leaned in and kissed him passionately. Another bolt of lightening cam down and Lisa flinched. Greg laughed and put her down.
He hugged her close to him. "By the way happy early birthday." He laughed as he said it. They were both completely soaked. If anyone had seen them they would have called them insane, out in the rain kissing. And yet it was so romantic.
She pulled away from him but her hand remained on his neck. She began to cry, although you couldn't tell because of the rain. "I love you too Greg."
He smiled lightly, "I'm glad I ran after you." He said and she rolled her eyes at his sarcasm.
She looked back up at him and said, "I'm the one who should be sorry. I never meant to walk out on you like I did at your house. I regretted it the moment I did it. I never thought I'd get a second chance with you."
A car stopped in front of them and someone rolled the window down. James stuck his head out of the window. "What the hell are two doing in the rain?"
Greg grumpily shrugged and Lisa laughed.
