All I have to say is "I'm sorry"

He couldn't believe it. She was here standing right in front of him, looking more beautiful than ever. He just couldn't believe it. He'd thought he'd never see here again, at least of all tonight. He'd just dropped Kelly of; they had been at the movies. He'd asked if she wanted to come with him to his place but she'd declined, claiming she had a headache. She did that a lot. But this headache couldn't have come at a better time. And now here she was right in front of him, with a suitcase in one hand and her coat in the other. It was winter in London but the cold weather never reached LA.

"Hi" she said.

"Hi" he replied back. "What brings you to town?"

"Dylan I'm sorry sooo sorry for every thing, what I said, how things ended." Brenda said with tears falling down her cheek.

But that was all he needed to know, of course he was sorry too, and she could see it in his eyes, the apology wasn't spoken out loud but it was said and it was accepted, forgiven. In fact her standing here in front of him made him forget everything else, Kelly and their reuniting at Donna and David's wedding. That meant nothing to him now, because she was here and she cared. She loved. She loved him like he loved her, unconditional, intensely, passionate, sometimes overwhelming. Of course deep down in the back of his head he knew that Kelly loved too, but not like her, not like Brenda. And really it didn't matter to him if she, Kelly loved because he didn't. Sure he'd put on a good act, making everyone think he did, but he didn't, he knew it and Brenda new it. She hadn't before, not in high school, but he could see it in her eyes, she was sure of his love. That's why she'd taken the big step, crossing one ocean and one continent to tell him she was sorry. But in those words there was a deeper meaning. They told him that there still was a chance, a chance to true happiness. He wasn't going to walk away this time. No, now he knew that this is where he wanted to be. With her, next to her, he wanted to protect her, rescue her and more than anything he longed to love her again. And that is why he leaned forward and took her hand and in silence they walked into his apartment together.

Once inside they started to kiss, a kiss more passionate than they ever could have imagined. The kiss grew, leading them into the bedroom where nothing or no one but the two of them existed. They both new that after this there was no going back, that couldn't be done, no matter what was thrown at them now they had to resolve together, as a couple.

It was first when the first bright light of the morning sun found its way into the bedroom that reality checked in. The first time since her arrival that it wasn't just the two of them before anything they had to deal with the consequences of their relationship, they had to tell Kelly. Both of them realised it wouldn't be an easy task and even if Dylan hadn't said anything to Brenda she new he was with Kelly; he always went to her when his love for her got so intense that he couldn't handle it. She tuned around and looked into his eyes, oh those eyes, with the little scar right across the eyebrow, she could drown in those eyes, but not today, today she needed to get an answer, an answer to the question that had been inside of her for years. "Why do you always go back to Kelly?" His answer to this was short and simple but it was the truth. "I thought I'd lost you forever in London and when I couldn't have the woman I loved I had to take the woman that loved me." It sounds so harsh but it wasn't meant in a bad way, it was just a fact, the truth. It is always easier to pretend to love someone if they love you for real. She was satisfied with that answer, it secured her position with him, before she knew that he would stay with her forever this time but it felt good to hear him say it.

And they both new what was next, telling Kelly. There wouldn't be a lot of words involved, Kelly wouldn't forgive or forget, but she would understand the reason for her break up with Dylan as soon as she realised that Brenda was back in the picture. She knew deep down in her heart that she couldn't compete with her, not when it came to Dylan's love, Dylan's heart. There Brenda always had first dib, she was the one who had been able to look inside his eyes when he was a lonely seventeen year old and see his soul, his fire. It wasn't hard to fall for him, quite the opposite actually but to get him to love you back, there was really only one woman who done it and they were so many that had failed, not just Kelly but even his own mother hadn't succeeded completely. Kelly didn't know what Brenda had done to succeed, but for her it hadn't been that hard all she'd done was to look at him and be there and help and comfort and to make him understand that it was ok not to be tough all the time. There was no secret behind their love, only truth. And with that truth the steep into a new chapter of their lives, the chapter that would end up with them being together making it thru the bad times with cooperation and sharing the good times in a happiness greater mankind had ever seen before.
