Good Luck & Godspeed
Part 4
I was drowning in the knowledge that was inside my brain. I was losing my battle when I heard her voice calling to me. I looked around but saw nothing. I want to call out but no words came. I heard my name and turn to see the distant ray of light.
I started to run towards it. Light was good. The closer I got the louder her voice got. She was pleading with me to come to her. I didn't respond just kept running towards the light.
Her voice was strained she keep calling out to me. I was almost to her when I felt someone grab my hand and pull me to the light.
I opened my eyes to find me on top of her and holding her hand.
"Jack? Jack, are you okay? Please say something you're scaring me."
Two very frightened blue eyes waited for me to respond. I let out the breath I was holding and rested my head on her chest. I was safe she had guided me from the dark to the light.
I disentangled myself from her and she was next to me caressing my face and asking me to please talk to her.
"I'm fine just almost lost it. You saved me Sam you helped me through the darkness. You were my beacon of light."
She gathered me into her arms and soothed my back. She said she would always be here for me. I held on to her knowing she was telling me the truth. Once I was back with her nothing would stand in our way of being together. We both knew this. I pulled back and cupped her face and kissed her. She pulled me down with her and we started to let our hands roam.
This felt so right like it was meant to be. I started to pull away but she wouldn't let me. She snuck her hand under my shirt and I groaned to feel her touch my bare skin with her hand. I reached under her shirt and she hissed when I brushed her skin with my hand.
I stopped and asked her if this was what she wanted; she pulled her shirt off of herself and did the same to me. She said she wanted this more then life itself.
"I love you. I've always loved you. Pete was a mistake that I will remedy as soon as I have you back. Please Jack make love to me."
That's all I needed to hear. She loved me? When had this happened? I had loved her since she had kissed me in the locker room ruining me from ever trying to establish any type of normal relationship with any other woman. She loved me. Sweet!
I kissed her and said okay. She started to undress and all I could think about was I couldn't wait till I was truly home.
It was mind blowing. I was lying next to the woman that had saved my life countless times and we had just made love. Not sex this was love. It was an intense experience and my body was still tingling.
She stirred in my arms and I kissed her shoulder. She opened her eyes and smiled thinking it had all been a dream. I told her no but we were still in her subconscious and we needed to get back.
"Jack did you find your solution?"
I smiled and said yes that the answer was back in Antarctica. I had found a panel that held the controls to unfreeze me. I went into detail where the panel was and what the buttons said. She listened intently and I could see her making mental notes.
"Then what are we waiting for. I want you back by tomorrow night. I can't believe you're coming home to me."
I looked at her and kissed her cheek and murmured always.
We dressed and kissed and finally finished getting ready to leave her subconscious.
"I'll be there with you Sam. This next part is up to you. You're going to have to make them believe you are not crazy."
"I can do this Jack knowing you will be there when this is all over, I will get you out I promise and then we can finally be together. I'll retire I just want to know you'll be there that's all I want."
"We'll talk about this when I get back l love you and I'll be here for you. You are my life now and now that I've tasted your lips felt your skin next to mine heard you moan and heard you scream…"
"Jack stop, you're making me blush and I wasn't the only one that was vocal. I never knew you could say my name that fast and I never pegged you for a screamer."
I held her hand and kissed it.
I asked if she was ready. She pulled me to her and kissed me lightly on the lips then nodded yes.
She said the drug was no longer keeping her there that she would be able to wake. I nodded to her and said I would be waiting for her. She smiled and I held her hand. She started to fade and I felt an emptiness grip me. I reached out for her one last time but she was gone.
