Chapter 11 is finally up.
I am sorry I didn't post it yesterday but I didn't have time to finish it.
Oh well, am going to let you read it.
Please, don't kill me.
Thanks.
:)
P.S. I still don't own "Lie To Me" even though I know own the DVD {at least a copy of it xD}.
LOL.

Light and Darkness.
Being human means having a dark side and a lighter one; means having positive and negative traits; means possessing qualities and flaws. That is where the richness of humankind resides... in diversity.
We have different ways of eating, dressing, walking and talking; we have different angles on how to solve the world's poverty and the global warming; we have different religious traditions; we have different points of view when it comes to sharing emotions and feelings… we have different ways of loving.

Gillian raised an eyebrow just slightly once she heard him saying her name, waiting for him to carry on with the discourse that seemed to be right under his tongue.
He just stood there, not being able to do anything else besides staring at her. There was something about her… something about them… and that something was now clear as crystal to him.
He felt his lips curling up in a smile as he realized he had discovered the reason why most of their conversations didn't involve any words. Gillian always left him speechless.
"What are you smiling about?" Gillian asked, feeling somewhat confused about the whole situation.
"Are you going to tell me what you are doing here, Cal?" She finally questioned, taking a step back into her house as the cold breeze was starting to make her shiver.
He nodded before taking another step forward.
Reaching out, he cupped her face with both hands and looked deeply into her eyes. He then allowed her to see him.
At first she was taken aback by his action but soon found the comfort and the protection she needed upon his beautiful green eyes.
Not breaking the eye contact, she slowly started to acknowledge what was going on.
Some people believe the eyes are the soul's mirror and on that moment Gillian was surely one of those people.
She saw all her questions and doubts being answered and explained; she saw her feelings and her emotions reflected on him.
And then there was the kiss.
It was passionate, demanding and filled with hope and love.
And then his arms were around her waist and her own were wrapped around his neck.
Without letting go of each other, they walked backwards into the house.
The door was closed by Cal's foot right before he lifted her into his arms and walked towards the bedroom where they had slept the night before; towards her spare bedroom… towards their bedroom.
He laid her down carefully over the bed, his eyes not leaving hers as he pulled away slightly to remove his clothes and his shoes.
And then there was touching and caressing.
No rush as they allowed themselves to study each other's body.
And just like two pieces from the same puzzle, they fitted perfectly together.
Yet again, no need for words.
The world was forgotten as they moved together in harmony, allowing themselves be selfish as they satisfied their curiosity and their fantasies but always keeping an eye for each other's needs and desires.
The two sides of the same coin finally meeting each other; the sun and the moon finally holding one another; the darkness and the light finally finding a balance… two being one.
Perfection.
And then the three words that had become so hard to say finally melted together…
"I love you."

Opening yourself completely to someone else is not an easy thing to do and it can be even harder when it is not your first attempt at it. Emotional baggage is never easy to carry around and sometimes it is so heavy that you just feel like giving up… you just convince yourself that it is not worth it and that's when you start living a lie; that's when you start living your own lie.
So when you feel tired, just stop for a moment and take a deep breath. Let the wind embrace your body; let the rain caress your skin; let the sun warm up your heart; let the moon and the stars guide you and you will find your way, you will find your way back home… you will find the truth, your truth.
The End

Now that was quite hard to write.
I know it is short and I am really sorry but it felt so right to leave it like this…
I seriously hope you enjoyed this story… I surely had loads of fun writing it! :)
I want to thank all the people that took the time to read and all the ones that decided to leave a review behind as they were the reason why I carried on with this since the very first chapter.
Ehehe. You guys rock. xD
Hopefully this won't be a "goodbye" but more like a "see you soon".
Until we meet again,
Reesa.

P.S. R&R if you feel like it. :)
P.P.S. «And then the three words that had become so hard to say finally melted together… "I love you."» is a reference to the song "I and Love and You" by The Avett Brothers.
