Chapter 29 Need, Want.
Claire took off Kip's leash, and let him run into his dog house. She looked up at her house, and prayed Skye was waiting for her inside.
She walked up to the door. She cautioned before opening it, then built up all her strength, and opened it. She stepped inside, the room felt tense, and smelled like coffee.
Why the hell?
She placed her suit case on the living room floor.
Then she moved her way to the walk in kitchen, then there was him staring at her strait in the eye sitting at the table, he looked a mess, his hair was all frazzled, and he was wearing a white tank, and some sweat pants, and socks, there were huge bags under his eyes, he looked terrible, but he was there!
Thank you goddess thank you!
For a wile they just stared at each other in awe, the room felt tense, cause both of them wanted to break free from their shallow selves and hold each the crying their eyes out, and forgetting the world, but no they had to be responsible, they had to be adults.
I hate growing up…
"Listen I'm sorry-" They said at the same time both trying to break the uneasy silence. She looked at him and he looked at her trying to get one of them to talk first.
Don't be…
"I wanted to say I was sorr-" Skye tried to apologize, you could tell he was nervous, then Claire interrupted him.
Don't Mr. terrible listening skills!
"No, I should be the one apologizing, I overreacted, it's your job it's not your fault." She sighed.
Besides if you hadn't he would have just suffered…I should thank you…
"I-I-…what I mean is I want…no I-I-, I need you Claire…but you'd honestly be better off if you had never met me…" Skye brushed his hand through his long silver hair, and hid his face on the table.
Probably theoretically…but emotionally no…
"That's not true, I-I-…I need you to…I love you…" There she had said it, she had finally said it for real she told him she loved him. He looked at her shocked, his eyes watered up, as he held back tears, and Claire found her self near the same fate.
Why…Why did it take me so long to say it?
"I love you too Claire…" He smiled "I've always loved you, but it's your choice if you wanna stay with me now, if you don't want any of my crazy messed up depressing life in your way just say the word and I'll be gone forever, but if you tell me to stay, I will never leave your side or be unfaithful." He looked he in the eye.
What do you think Sherlock?
"Skye, of course I want you to stay I love you!" She shouted, and flung herself into his arms, she felt safe there, happy, warm.
It feels like love…
They sat there at the kitchen table for the rest of the morning, and it was perfect, simply perfection.
