It's been a long day. I've been here for over 12 hours, and I actually finished my work half an hour ago, but I don't mind waiting. I've waited over four years to get what I really wanted, so a half an hour here and there doesn't seem much.
I've been standing at the window in my office for the last 15 minutes, staring outside. I can't believe that it is already the middle of the summer. It seems like ages ago when I was on the other side of the world, and it was summer there.
Back than I was the one who didn't have anything. I was about to loose the one thing that mattered to me in my life. Now it is the man who lives there, where it is winter now, that has nothing.
I didn't even realize how much she mattered to me until I was about to loose her. I always knew that I loved her, but I always had excuses about not acting on it, not telling her. I told them so many times to other people and to myself that I actually started to believe them. Until it was almost too late.
When I saw that ring on her finger I felt like everything around me was falling apart. I think that deep down inside me I knew that she felt the same way about me, and that she doesn't really consider spending the rest of her life with him. But when I saw her looking at her ring, playing with it, trying to imagine it on the other hand, and than actually trying it on, I knew that I had to do something. And fast. I knew that she wouldn't wait for me much longer.
And than I realized something - that I didn't want her to wait. That all of the excuses that I made to myself were just that, excuses. So I did it. I opened my heart to her. I gave her my heart. And in return she gave him back the ring, and gave her heart to me.
That was five months ago, when the life I always wanted began.
*****
Five minutes later I can feel her coming up behind me. I can't help but smile when I feel her sliding her hands around my waist and hugging me from behind. I feel her resting her head on my back as I cover her hands with mine. And than my smile grows even wider when I feel the ring on her finger. This time it's my ring, and it's on the right finger.
"Ready to go home sailor?" I hear her whispering into my back, as her hands start to caress my stomach.
I turn around, still between her arms, and cup her face with my hands. I lower my head until I meet her lips, already waiting for me.
As usual I loose myself in her. Everything around us disappears and I melt into her. It scared me at first how much I love her, how much I need her and how much I would do for her. But I know that she feels the same way about me and it's worth everything.
The kiss ends, and it takes me a second to pull myself together again. Her eyes are still closed when I answer her.
"Does that answer your question?"
Slowly she opens her eyes and looks at me as I brush a lock of hair from her face. She doesn't have to answer me. Her eyes say it all - how much she loves me, how much she wants me. Once again she manages to make me feel like I can do anything.
She pulls me down for another kiss. This time more passionate, more demanding. When this kiss ends I decide that I can't wait anymore. I reach for my briefcase and than pick her up. She puts her hands around my neck and starts laughing.
"Harm! Put me down!" She manages to say between giggles.
"Not until I get you to my bed." I say as I make my way through the bullpen to the elevators. "You're too slow marine."
She doesn't answer that comment. Instead, she buries her head in my neck and starts nibbling.
When we get out of the elevator I have to put her down. But as soon as her feet touch the ground she grabs my hand, and we walk together to the car. She gives me a look that says `you better drive as fast as you can, or else...' before she gets in the passenger side. I'm sure I have the biggest smile on my face as I get in the driver's seat.
It's been a long day, but I don't mind having them every day if they're going to end like this.
