*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
Pietro slowly sauntered over to where Kitty sat. With sweaty palms and a pulsing heart, the intense heat within him didn't subside even though he was out in the freezing cold. He abruptly came to a halt. He closed his eyes and couldn't help but imagine how he wanted this conversation to play out...
********************* "Kitten I'm so sorry for everything. I love you very much, will you forgive me?"
"Oh Pietro I love you too! Of course I forgive you!"
He would slowly walk up to her, lace his fingers in with hers and gently kiss her. The couple would stand there in each other's arms, snow lightly falling from the sky.
*********************
* Get real Pietro! That would never happen, you hurt Kitty way too much for things to go that smoothly! *
What am I going to say to her? Maybe I should just turn away and let her move on. I've put her through so much already; I won't blame her if she doesn't want anything to do with me.
* Come on Pietro, you love her and you at least owe her an explanation, you can't just walk away! This is your little Kitten and right now she's hurting, go over there and find a way to make it all better, even if it means losing her. Can you really stand by and watch her go through all this pain? *
He sucked in his breath and slowly managed to choke out...
"Kitty I ..."
She turned around to face him, her gorgeous porcelain blue eyes now puffy and swollen from crying. Pietro mentally kicked himself. * Look at how much you've hurt her! *
Kitty wiped her face with the back of her hand and slowly stood up. She walked down the steps and onto the snow covered sidewalk her back facing Pietro. She let a few more tears escape from her eyes before tightly shutting them to block everything out. * Why is he doing this to me? Why can't he just leave me alone? How can he be so incredibly oblivious to how much he had hurt me? Didn't anything we shared together mean something? Did he ever love me at all? * Questions plagued Kitty's mind and she hadn't noticed Pietro now standing behind her. He placed his hand under her chin and brought her gaze to meet him. Kitty couldn't believe how much she had missed him. How despite the cold, his hands were incredulously warm and his touch soft and caring. She mentally slapped herself however, quickly recalling all events to mind. She shrugged away from his grip, her ice-cold tone reflecting that of the weather's...
"What do you want Pietro?"
Pietro couldn't believe this was the same person. His Kitty was never this cold, her eyes were never this emotionless, her stare never this piercing. His Kitten was gone and he knew he was the one responsible. Would her ever be able to get her back? To see her smile, to feel her touch, to have her love?
"I wanted to explain. Kitty what you saw inside was a mistake, I didn't mean for things to get so out..."
"Why are you telling me this Pietro? You actually expect me to believe you!"
He felt his heart go numb. Never before had he been in this tremendous amount of pain. His vision now a bit blurred, his voice a bit stuck.
"K-Kitty please just listen to me. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for putting you though all this, it was wrong of me I know that. But the one thing I'm not sorry for and that I would never be sorry for is falling in love with you. That is something I will never take back."
She glared at him as if searching his eyes for some sort of insincerity, but found none. Puzzled by this bit of earnestness, she still clapped her hands mock annoyance...
"Bravo! Another one of Pietro Maximoff's oh so sincere apologies! What are you going to do next? Utter a few more meaningless words and expect me to fall into your arms while you kiss me and make everything magically go away!"
"Kitty please... don't be this way!"
"Be like what way? Oh you're probably referring to finally having a mind of my own and not believing every single word you or anyone else shoves at me! Or maybe you're referring to the way you lied to me, the way you used me, the way my... the way my heart shattered into even tinier pieces when I saw you kissing Heather. You broke me before Pietro and when I thought it couldn't be possible to break me any further, tonight I was proven wrong."
He felt like scum. He just wanted to wrap his arms around her and never let her go. He watched her tears slowly trickle from her eyes, her arms draped around her for warmth - how he wished that could be him.
"You were my first love, you... you gave me my first kiss and I blindly gave you my heart only to have it ripped apart and handed back to me. I'm sick of all of this Pietro! Sick of the 'I'm sorry's', the questions. I just want things to go back to the way they were before - before this happened, before you."
Her tears now freely flowing, coupled with sniffs from Pietro. He couldn't think of anything to say, all he could do was stand there and look at her. His heart ached to touch her, to kiss her, even if it was for one last time. And as if Kitty had read his mind she slowly closed the gap in between them and brought her lips to his. She didn't know what made her do it but she just had to feel him one last time. Falling deeper into him, she wrapped her arms around his neck, his arms encircling her small waist. She could feel his warm tears falling onto her cheeks; it took all she had not to forgive him right there and then but she knew she couldn't.
Losing themselves in one another yet again, a car horn startled Kitty out of her melancholy yet blissful state.
"Um... Ready to go miss?" The cab driver called out to her.
With their foreheads touching, her eyes tightly shut, she felt Pietro gently brush his lips against hers. A small whimper escaped her lips before she whispered...
"Goodbye Pietro." She pulled away from his warm embrace, got into the cab and it drove off.
Pietro stood there watching the retreating taxi. He didn't know what came over him but he couldn't help but yell out at the top of his lungs -
"I'll get you back Kitten. I promise, I'll get you back!"
