Epilogue
Kay ran to catch up with Miguel, her long hair flowing behind her.
"Miguel I really need to speak with you." Kay called out, her black skirt hindering her running.
Miguel slowed down and turned to face Kay. His face was blank and emotionless and the lack of some sort of recognition hurt her.
Miguel softened his features as the hurt registered in Kay's eyes. He didn't want to cause her any pain, he loved her too much for that, but he knew that the feeling wasn't reciprocated.
"Miguel please, I need to speak with you." Pleaded Kay, "Why won't you speak to me? You've been ignoring me ever since that day." Kay remembered how Miguel had hurried out of the room, ignoring her.
"Kay there's just to much to say," Miguel spoke in a dry tone, "I don't know what to say too you."
"Miguel," Kay began hesitantly, "I know that you miss her, but you can't just forget all your friends because of that."
"If you only knew." Miguel's voice was bitter, "It wouldn't be so bad if it was just because I missed her. The problem is you Kay. I can't..."
Kay felt a sob build in her throat, "I'm sorry Miguel. I won't bother you anymore." She turned to walk away, but was caught by the firm grip around her wrist.
Miguel gently pulled her to him and kissed her softly on the lips. Kay felt as if her heart would stop and then returned the kiss. As she responded Miguel deepened the kiss.
Kay finally pulled away from him and touched her lips with her fingertips. She stared at him, her eyes betraying all emotions.
"Kay," he began, his voice quavering from the emotion he felt from the kiss, "that day when I left the room I was confused. Charity had told me something that left me reeling. I think she knew it was her last day on earth."
He cleared his throat before continuing, "She told me to pursue my true feelings. She wanted to leave this world knowing that I would be happy and she knew that meant I had to be with you. She told me not to feel guilty and to take the love you were offering. I couldn't really believe her because I thought you were still in love with Michael." His head lowered to the ground and he scuffed at the grass with his shoe. At that moment Kay could seem him as a little child once again.
Kay's eyes swam with tears and her voice was husky with emotion, "Miguel, she told me some of the same things. She gave me her blessing to love you without guilt. I was already falling for you again and she could see it in my eyes. That was right before she died. I thought you loved her so much that I didn't want to tear you from your feelings."
"I will always love Michael, he was my savior, but I love you with so much passion Miguel. I saw how much you cared for Charity, how you didn't want to leave her and I loved you even more for it." finished Kay.
They stared into each other's eyes. Both feeling so much relief at releasing their feelings and they both leaned in to kiss. The depth, feeling, love that passed through this one meeting of lips was fiery.
As they pulled apart, they took each others hands and walked towards the future. Both whispering soft goodbyes to loved ones who had shaped part of their life and hello to a new romance of the future.
