Disclaimer: Okay I admit it. They will never be mine. I want to cry. Damn. Rats. I want them…
Author's note: I hope you love this as much as I loved writing it.
"Donna?" Josh yelled when he reached the bullpen.
She got up quickly. "What? What's wrong?"
He looked at her, just stared for a moment. There was a silence as they looked into each other's eyes. They were vulnerable. They saw each other. Finally saw each other. And without words they told each other how they felt.
"You look beautiful," Josh whispered breaking the silence.
She smiled. She felt tears crawling down her cheeks. She couldn't let this happen. There was too much risk. There was too much to lose.
"Thank you," she said and tried to break his gaze.
He took a step forward stopping her from moving from his eyesight. He took her hand. He looked at her cheeks streamed with tears. He was sure. He had to tell her. Even if she didn't love him, he couldn't spend another day not knowing.
She wouldn't look at him. He took her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.
"Donna, I love you." He couldn't believe he had said it. There was a brief silence. Then Josh leaned in and kissed her gently and sweetly.
When he backed up to see her eyes once more she was smiling but crying even harder.
"I love you too," she said with ease.
He looked at her and smiled, feeling his own eyes fill with water. "Please if this is a dream don't let me wake up."
She looked at him skeptically. But before he could explain she was kissing him again. She didn't care how much they could lose. All she could think about was how much they had to gain.
They finally saw each other. And they both knew love was just a racing dream from which you never wake.
