Chapter 6, Closure
"Come on, Caroline. What do you think?"
"MMmmmm……….."She said as his arms tightened around her waist. She pulled his long overcoat around the both of them. "Honey, why don't we just enjoy the moment?"
"Because, in case you haven't noticed, this is kind of, well, new, and I want to sort out all of the feelings we're having."
*Why does he insist on analyzing everything? Why couldn't they just bask in the moment? * Her hands closed over his. Slowly, methodically, she began to intertwine their fingers. One by one, tracing circles on his palm. He, in response, held one of her palms up to the moonlight and pressed it against his cheek. He let it linger there for a short time, before covering it with several kisses. He then proceeded to continue up her arm.
"Richard…I don't care about anything else, but this, us. Everything will unfold with time, believe me. So many obstacles have hindered us in the past, and yet we managed to reach this moment." She turned around to face him, her jaw squarely set with determination.
"I know,………" he murmured softly with the fear of impairing their clandestine moment. He buried his head in the hollow of her neck as her arms circled around his shoulders. They enjoyed a moment of silence as they held onto one another. Words were no longer necessary. They both knew what was important. What mattered were they, together, as one, working together, instead of apart.
The music once again sounded with the expressive voice of Bryan Adams, calling to the lovers of the dance floor. (Note: this is not my song, see note at top of page) J
First time our eyes met
Same feeling I get
She reached to his forehead. He held her gaze. After three years………….
Only feels much stronger
I want to love you longer
"Come on." he motioned to the dance floor.
You still turn the fire on
He hands stroked her lower back and her knees buckled. After three years………….
So if you're feeling lonely don't
You're the only
one, I'll ever want
Was he trembling as much as her?
I only want to make it gold
So if I love you a little more than I should
Her head found his chest.
Please forgive me
I know not what I do
Please forgive me
I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me
This pain I'm going through
"I love you, Caroline…" his heart pounded.
Please forgive me
I need you like I do
Please believe me
For what I say is true
Please forgive me
I can't stop loving you.
THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!
