Leo's POV
Oh My God. I can't believe it. I'm about to kiss this beautiful nurse and I'm thinking about my wife at home. My conscience gets the better of me and I swerve and miss her mouth. She falls onto my shoulder and I wrap my arms around her. In know how she must be feeling now, same as me only worse. I'm feeling guilty and extremely sad. She's probably embarrassed and won't be able to face me again. I've got to tell her.
"Listen Piper, I can't..."
"Why?" She wasn't crying but I could feel that she was tense. I felt immense pity that I had met my wife before her. Why did it have to be this way? Her being in my arms felt right, as if we were two halves which made one whole. With my wife, I love her but I never quite have the same feeling as I have with Piper. It was as if we are...I can't say it...soul mates. Suddenly I was jolted back to the here and now and realised that I still hadn't answered Piper,
"I have a wife Piper." I felt her sigh and collapse into my his arms as if it had cost her an immense amount of energy to hold herself up. She murmured into my chest,
"I knew it, I knew you were too good to be true. Why didn't I trust my conscience?" I let her go so that I could look her in the eye,
"Sometimes," I paused, "Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and ignore your conscience. This is what I wish was one of those times, but my conscience is screaming at me. I'm sorry, I can't Piper." I got up and walked outside. The air was bracing to say the least. It was freezing and I felt glad. Because with every breath I dragged in what seemed to be tiny icicles and it is a way I could punish myself for doing what I did.
Whatever I did I had a could of guilt hanging over my head. Whether I betrayed my wife or let down Piper. But that look she had in her eye... It was as if she didn't expect me to betray my wife for her. It was as if she would love me no matter what I did. My wife, however is a different case, she is jealous to say the least. If there is one person who you could call clingy it's my wife. She's almost obsessive at times and I find it stifling. I love her but her bossiness sometimes causes me to lose my temper, I'm not proud of that fact but nevertheless it is a fact. I had enough control of my temper to never lose it in front her of course.
I love my wife but somehow Piper seems like the perfect wife. I feel so guilty thinking this but even my conscience is agreeing that if I was married to Piper everything would be perfect, and if it wasn't I would do anything I could to make it so. My wife is inflexible, as bad as I feel thinking that, and Piper is willing to do what I want, I know that sounds selfish but somehow he wanted a break from being told how to breath. I know, I know I've only known her for a day and yet I know exactly what she is like by only gazing into her eyes. But that's how it is for me. I don't know how it's like that but it is.
Everything was a mess. Feelings and memories are flooding my mind and it feels as if my head is spinning out of control. It's all too much, everything's going crazy. This is not the way it's meant to be. When I made the vows to my wife I meant it and now I'm debating whether or not to go in the medical tent and declare my love to a beautiful nurse and have an affair with her.
"Come outside to think?" came a voice behind me. I turned around to see smoke curling up in the air from the shadows. I tried to see the outline of the figure but I couldn't make it out then the mystery person stepped out of the shadows and I saw it was Reg.
"Hi Reg, I got some stuff to think over."
"Not inside with Piper I see. Problems with the conscience?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Believe me I struggled with stuff like that too but then I remarried the lady and I discovered a whole new world. My life had, meaning again and I was happy again. Just because I remarried. Think about it Leo, think about it real hard." Reg's words began to make a little sense to me and I wondered if I had heard them somewhere before but I just couldn't remember where...
Something inside me broke and I started crying. I don't know why but tears started streaming down my face. It was as if I was feeling grief for something that had happened in the future. Suddenly I felt as if I couldn't stray from Piper's side for a second longer. I rushed inside the tent and saw her in the corner, head down and looking like she was crying.
I started walking towards her, to apologise when this white light appeared and caused me to be blinded...
AN: Don't you just love cliff hangers? =P Promise I won't leave you hanging for too long. I will update soon as I can.
