She kept his glance soaking in everything he had just said. Then she turned back to look back out over the water. She wasn't sure what to say now. There were no words to describe how she was feeling. Everything he had just said was so perfect. And was exactly what she had wanted to hear for so long, but where were they supposed to go from there? There wasn't a baby anymore so everything he had just said was hypothetical.
He stared at her waiting for a response. He had just ripped his heart out and set in in the sand in front of her and all he got back was silence. He wasn't sure what he had expected to happen but this wasn't it. Silence was not it.
"Can you take me home now?' She asked without looking over to him.
"Yeah come on." He reached out a hand to help her up.
She got in the passenger seat and didn't even complain once about not driving. The whole drive to her apartment was awkward. Neither one spoke. Erin was thinking about what everything meant now. Where do they go from here?
Jay was lost and confused about her reaction. Wondering what happens now?
When he pulled up outside her building she thanked him and opened the door starting to stand up. Jay needed answers before the night was over. He couldn't take the waiting anymore. It was now or never.
"Erin wait." He gabbed her forearm and she fell back into her seat turning to look at him.
The second her face turned towards his he crashed his lips onto hers.
She hesitated at first, as she was surprised before she started kissing him back. At first it was slow and tentative. But when he felt her begin to kiss him back he brought his hands to the sides of her face kissing her more hungrily, desperately.
He reached for the keys to turn the engine off without daring to remove his lips from hers. She moved her body in as close to his as possible but the center council got in the way. She had almost forgotten how perfect it was to kiss him. It was almost as though her lips were meant to fit with his. She pulled back out of breath.
"Come up stairs?"
He didn't need to be asked twice. He nodded quickly and jumped out of the car in a hurry to get upstairs with her.
They practically ran to the elevator. When the doors opened he pressed the button to her floor and backed her up against the wall. They resumed their kiss feverishly, and impatiently. Her hands held the sides of his neck just below his ears, and his gripped her hips.
When the elevator doors open they went to her door. As she fumbled with her keys he hugged her around the waist from behind. Moving her hair out of the way he began kissing her neck. It was making it incredibly difficult for her to open the door. He had remembered the spot of her neck to kiss that turned her on. If his arms weren't around her holding her up she was sure she would have fallen to the ground. Her knees had gone weak and she was completely collapsed into his body still trying to turn the key in the lock.
When she finally got the door opened they walked inside without him letting go of her waist. He kicked the door closed behind them. He moved around to the front of her and re-met her lips with his, before moving down to kiss the parts of her chest exposed in her V-neck shirt.
She led him to her bedroom as quickly as she could. Shedding her clothes along the way. It'd been almost four months since they'd first been together and for a while neither of them was sure it would ever happen again. But they were both more then happy it was.
