- Thank you for have make come John...
Eames turned to Goren, who was nervously clasping his hands on his thighs, against the fabric of his pants.
She shook her head in denial, put a small smile on her lips.
If Goren knew...
That it was John who hadn't stopped nagging his to come see Goren.
Especially after hearing the story...
Of how he had gotten that scar that barred his entire left side.
To her nephew...
Goren was a hero.
His hero.
John said that like any hero Goren...
He saved a lady in distress.
Was it really what his nephew thought...
That she was a lady in distress.
But on the other hand...
John wasn't really wrong.
Goren had indeed protected her.
He had saved her from a terrible suffering...
And especially from being disfigured.
Eames could never forget such a gesture.
- John was pestering me for that he come see the hero...
The hero...
Goren blushed violently, put his hand on the back of his neck, looked away, everything embarrassing.
Good God...
Eames wasn't going if put also.
John had been calling him that all along...
Since the card game...
At his departure.
Talking about how he had protected his aunt.
Especially...
That he was far from being a hero.
He had just done what any normal man would do...
Or any partner.
Goren said that...
But he knew that it was more than just a partnership that he had chosen to sacrifice for Eames.
And if he had to do it again...
He would do it again.
Eames was too precious to him.
And without her...
He couldn't see himself continuing to live.
Especially with that scar.
But she had been there for him.
Despite her bad behavior.
- I want to thank you for sacrificing yourself for me...
This sacrifice for her...
At his words, Goren becomes totally scarlet, the heart beating violently in his chest, ready to explode.
Eames hesitantly moved his hand towards Goren's, and placed his hand on hers, intertwining his fingers with hers.
- What you did that day for me...
Good God...
What kind of conversation was that...
And especially the tone of Eames' voice.
She had never spoken to him like that.
So much at open heart.
It was very unsettling...
And her big hazel eyes that looked at him, shining with a strange little flame, that he had never seen.
- I like your scar...
I love your scar...
Other words were running around in his head.
A mysterious charm.
Could it really be possible...
Her heart raced.
If only...
But no.
It was simply impossible.
Eames had said that...
Just to avoid scaring John...
And it had worked.
Goren still remembered the way John had greeted him.
Such a warm welcome.
And John had behaved normally with him.
Could he believe...
Hoped...
To be able to resume a normal life...
With that face...
John had given him that little hope.
But from there to the fact that Eames says he likes his scar...
Wasn't that too much...
Had she lost her mind...
To say such a thing.
There was nothing human.
He looked like a monster.
And just because Eames' nephew said otherwise...
He was going to believe that Eames liked his scar.
Eames was lying to him.
He had seen the looks people gave him...
That pity...
Mixed with fear...
Of disgust.
Eames could not be honest...
Or serious with him.
He was a monster...
And would remain so for the rest of his life.
Even if Eames claimed otherwise.
With force, he grabbed Eames' hand in his, and forced her to place her tiny fingers on his scar.
- How can you like that...
Goren's voice was full of bitterness.
Eames' heart clenched, making her deeply sad.
How could Goren think she didn't like her scar...
Was he forgetting what he had done...
And how he'd gotten her.
Eames loved that scar from the bottom of her heart.
And she knew what it represented.
- Stop talking nonsense Eames...
Saying anything...
Eames shook her head in denial.
She was not rambling.
On the contrary...
That scar...
Was for her a symbol of Goren's courage...
And of the generosity of his heart.
She would never find it ugly.
She was beautiful in its own way.
- You sacrificed yourself for me...
At her words, Goren's heart sank.
Yes...
He had sacrificed himself for Eames.
And Goren would do it again if he had to.
Just the thought of someone touching an Eames hair...
Drove him crazy.
But to tell her she liked her scar.
Eames must not have been exaggerating.
- But that's what I really think Bobby.
At this admission, Eames blushed violently.
She got up from the couch in a hurry, embarrassed to have said to him softly, what she was thinking.
Goren put his hand on Eames' wrist, stopping her in her tracks.
No...
Eames didn't have to run away from him.
Eames was telling her the truth.
He shouldn't have doubted her.
Nor should he have put her in that kind of turmoil.
So if that was what Eames really thought...
He had to test her...
And see if she would dare to himself scroll.
And then he'd get his answer once and for all.
- You could then kiss me... Goren blushed violently, looked away, all embarrassed. If that's what you really think...
Eames turned his face all red towards Goren, his heart beating violently in his chest, still in shock at what Goren had just asked him.
Kissing him...
Goren couldn't have said that...
And yet...
His brown eye shone with hope.
Eames had not forgotten the kiss that Goren had forcibly stolen from her...
And that put her in such a turmoil.
- You see... Goren let go of her wrist, and lowered his face, looking at the ground. You can't.
No...
Eames did not want to see Goren so sad.
Goren was wrong about everything.
She would gladly agree to kiss him.
But it was so awkward.
And the thought of having his lips on hers, set her on fire of all over.
- I understood very well.
At her words, Eames saw Goren stood up, but she put her hands on his chest, forced him to sit back down.
- I never said I didn't want to kiss you...
Pardon...
Had he heard well...
He did not have time to ask himself more questions...
Already Eames took his face between his hands, and brought his lips closer to hers.
- Get your tongue out...
What...
Eames wasn't serious.
She wanted him to get his tongue out.
Goren blushed violently, his heart beating violently in his chest, ready to rupture.
Eames could not have said such a thing.
Get your tongue out...
- I have said you...
At Eames' command, and his large hazel eyes, which looked at him, imposing no refusal, Goren complied, and get his tongue out.
Eames get his tongue out, wrapped his tongue around Goren's, and began a slow dance, which ended in a wild dance.
Damn it...
Eames' tongue intertwined with his, in a wild dance...
Could drive any normal man crazy.
Their saliva mixing together...
It was so exciting...
So good.
Goren's whole body was on fire.
He let out a little moan of pleasure from his lips.
At Goren's little moan, Eames' heart beat violently in his chest, ready to explode, Eames moved his tongue away from Goren's, and pulled back.
Damn it...
It had been so...
Good God...
Eames was all shook up.
But despite everything...
If she would just listen to herself...
She would try it again...
And continue what she had started.
But she shouldn't.
It wasn't right.
Eames, with a red face, realized that she still had Goren's face in her hands, and so she let her hands fall back.
She slowly backed away, turned away, and with slow steps, walked out of the living room, heading for the bathroom.
Arrived in the bathroom, Eames closed the door behind her, and posted her back against the door, put her hand to her heart, trying to calm the beating of her heart.
What is who him had take...
Why was she reacting like this.
Eames had loved kissing Goren...
And the sensations she felt.
She slid down to the floor, and wrapped her arms around his legs, hugging them against her.
Her heart was beating so hard...
Could he be...
And of at one go...
Everything was forming in her head.
Eames opened her eyes wide...
Surprised by what she had just discovered.
And yet...
She should have known it.
All her signs...
She had fallen in love with Goren.
Eames took her face in her hands, shaking her head in all directions.
My God...
What was she going to do...
Goren was there...
As if forbidden.
And still in shock from the emotions that were rising in him.
Eames had kissed him.
And not just any kiss...
With his tongue...
And mixing their saliva.
Goren had loved that kiss.
Goren felt so alive in that kiss.
As if he was reborn at Eames' touch.
Yes, Goren felt like a new man in Eames' presence...
And he began to see the hope of a new future...
Even with that face.
But Goren knew that he should not become attached to his moments with Eames...
Which were so precious to him.
Because sooner or later...
Eames would return to his normal life...
And she would leave.
Leaving him...
And leaving him alone.
If only Eames could stay with him forever...
But Goren knew that was impossible.
So it was better to enjoy every moment with Eames...
His precious moments...
And so dear to his heart.
