Chapter 6:You and Me

A song he had heard in the morning ran through his head as he looked at her gorgeous features.

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Bosco gazed at Cruz, she wasn't doing much better and Bosco could see it in her eyes everytime she looked at him, she was hurting. She was hurting a lot. He felt so helpless, there was nothing he could do, the disease was eating away at her, picking her off slowly.

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

He admired her, she was so strong, so solid and yet so beautiful and unattainable. She was sick, she wasn't getting better but he would be here for it all, the sickness and tears, he would be there.

all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

A tear slipped down his cheek, a pathway for his sorrow. She was asleep, finally. Her face burned red, she was hot with a fever. The pneumonia was flaring in her red cheeks and her deep, croaking breaths.

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

He gently traced a finger down her chest, running it over her smooth curves, then over her firm stomach. He brought his rough fingers to her hair. He loved this woman so much.

there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right

Everything she did was right, perfect, fluid. Her neck was sticky with sweat but she had never looked so beautiful. Her cheeks were bright and everything about her was tiny and delicate.

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

He gently held her hand, something so delicate and fragile it seemed like it could break in his palm. It's warmth spread through his body like wildfire, warming him, calming him.

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

The tears came quickly now, leaving damp spots on the sterile gown. He had messed up, badly. He had left her alone for so long, when she had needed him the most, but now he was back and nothing could make him leave.

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive

He leaned over her gently taking everything about her in. Her full lips, her long chocolate hair, her lashes sweeping her cheeks gently. Her cherry red cheeks, her mocha coloured skin, her soft curves he longed for so much. He took it all in as her blue ocean eyes opened and he kissed her, her lips accepting as he was, loving him, comforting him "I love you Ritza, more than life itself"
