Chapter Four
Her body pressed into his, needing more of him with each passing moment.
Her breathing became rapid and desperate. Abandoning all fear, she breathed
into him.
"I love you, Richard. I don't know for how long, but I do."
Her finger tips massaged the back of his neck, signaling emotive
responses to every nerve in his body. Her vulnerability transformed her to a
child in his arms, but her desire restored her sense of reality. *Please
answer me* she begged silently. *Please respond*
With trembling fingers, he traced the corners of her mouth. His palms
framed her face. A sob escaped him, and he matched her defiant kiss with one of
more fervor. Slowly, savoring every painful moment. A kiss only reserved for
the most passionate of lovers. It was intimate, vulnerable and desperate. They cried
together as the song continued, kissing the other's tears away. She tasted him,
her arms moving to his lower back, pulling his chest to hers.
"Caroline, my God, why didn't you tell me sooner? If you only knew…..if
we could have done this sooner. All of this time……..all of this time………." He
murmured to her over and over. "I love you, Caroline, more than my own simple
words can convey."
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
They continued for what seemed like days, drinking in the moment. Their
bodies moved as one, as if both were born to fit the other.
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right, I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights, I need you baby
Trust in me when I say
From a distance, Annie saw them, her jaw plummeting to the ground. She
abandoned her latest conquest, frantically skimming the park for a raving
Italian. Perhaps Julia had found a friend
for herself. Her gaze, once again,
reverted to Richard and Caroline. Caroline's head rested on his chest, her arms rubbing his back in
circular gestures. He pulled her tightly to him, their chests heaving together
in the tension of the moment.
Annie could have sprinted naked across the rink, wearing only stiletto
heels, and still, they would not notice her. She wanted to interrupt their
public display of intimacy, but decided against it. How often does this happen?
A pang of envy and loneliness simulataneously washed over her. How fortunate they both were. New York is
overflowing with millions of people, and yet she remained alone. Her low
self-esteem only allotted her superficial relationships, whose prime purpose
was to fulfill the other's physical needs. No, Caroline and Richard were lucky
enough to find it.
Her love for the both of them transcended her envy, and she silently
vowed that she would do anything to help maintain their union. Now…… where did
Julia go???
