Lena just looked at Kostos, disgusted. He has no reason at all, no answer to my question. It wasn't the hardest question, why sleep with a girl who he didn't love and not the one he did? Lena was still crying, but more controlling. "Why can't you answer my question, Kostos! It isn't rocket science. Yeah I know, you've said it was a mistake but it doesn't explain it."

"Lena, my love. I should have never done it. I know that now. I know you don't believe me but I was sad about you. Marissa, well she was just there. We went out in high school a little. She said she still loved me and never forgot me. And I just took her out. Then I got a little drunk the second night and we ended up…having sex. But I am so sorry Lena. I never wanted to hurt you. Please believe me!" he looked desperate.

Lena looked into this man's eyes and knew that he loved her…but it wasn't enough for her. She had to trust him, to trust him to tell her when he makes mistakes. Instead of her hearing it about 2 months later. She didn't want to live her life, waiting. Just waiting for him to mess up, waiting for him to give up on her, waiting for him to be unfaithful, waiting for him to just ruin it again. If she lets him suck her back in and start over again, she will be just waiting for disappointment. And she can't live life looking around the corner before she turns every single time.

"Kostos, I do believe you. I know you love me. I can see it in your eyes and in the way you touch me. I know you would change things if you could go back in time. I know you don't want to hurt me. I know it and I will always know. But sometimes its just not enough, Kostos! Because you can't change it and neither can I! We just can't! I can't wait for you anymore. I can't wait for you to mess up or for you to change things. And I know what you are going to say, so don't bother. You won't mess up and I wont have to wait. But you don't know that, you don't! And I definitely can't take that chance to be hurt again. Damn it Kostos! If I were 16 again like when we first met we probably would be together right now. Because I would have forgave you. But I'm not and you aren't 18. I have matured and I have learned because of you hurting me. You have hurt me so much! So much," Lena began to become sore because of all her crying and yelling and her heart aching. Why did he have to do this to her? Everything would be perfect if he would have just waited for me. If he would have trusted me to come back to him. He wouldn't have slept with another girl.

Kostos walked over to her so that he could hold her in his arms. And he did. It had been so long since he had done this, almost a year. Gosh how he missed her so much. She cried on his shoulder. And let all her pain show and release her. Out of the whole year she had never cried this much. after a while she started to relax a little bit more, still crying. Kostos lifted her head so that he could see her face. He wiped away her tears and cupped her face in his hands.

"Lena, I know that I hurt you. I know you know I'm sorry. I know you wont trust me for a long time. But you also know that our love is special. You know that our love is too strong for this. We can overcome this. And once we do, we will make love. not just thoughtless sex like I had before. But expressing our love in a completely fulfilling way. The way man and woman should. We can become man and wife like we have both wanted all along. We can have little children running around and remember that our love overcame the biggest obstacles that we thrown at us. We will know that our love is strong enough to live on," he spoke huskily and close to her face. Touching head to head.

He lifted her face with his hand and brought her closer. "I love you Lena Kaligaris." And lightly kissed her on the lips. He put his other hand around her waist to hold on to her and never let her go. She slowly started to respond to his kiss, a little hesitantly. Then he started breathing harder and started kissing her more passionately. They kept kissing as he brought her towards the hotel bed. And slowly laid on it with her on top of him. Then he started sliding his hands down. Touching below her stomach and on her jeans button, he undid her jeans. She had a flash back to when they were at the museum. She knew that she shouldn't be doing this with him. She stopped kissing him and got off the bed.

Kostos sighed. "Lena what's wrong? If you don't want to do this I'm fine with that."

"I want to, Kostos"

Kostos smiled. "But not with you," Lena said and went to find Carmen and to get away from him.
