You open your eyes.
Slowly.
You look into bright blue ones.
Sparking.
You don't say anything.
You can't say anything.
He opens his mouth.
And you concentrate on what you'll hear next.
You breathe.
Deep.
His voice reaches your ear.
"Wow".
Nothing more.
"Yes, wow", you hear yourself say.
He smiles.
And looks straight at you.
Into your blue eyes.
You feel like he looks straight into your soul.
"I'm sorry", you say.
"I shouldn't have kissed you".
There, you said it.
"I'm sorry, I should have thought about Sara before".
You hear his breath.
"I shouldn't have kissed you back", you hear him say.
There you heard it.
But what you see in his face is so much more.
You know when he lies.
And he's not very good at it.
At least when he's lying to you.
But you don't tell him that.
Now you know he feels at least something too.
"But I have kissed you back", he says.
Did he just say that?
He smiles.
"And I'm glad I did".
Then you feel his lips again on yours.
You're not dreaming.
You're not.
You break the kiss.
"Gil, what about all this back in Vegas?", you ask.
"We are not in Vegas now", he simply says.
You know there's something big you have to deal with.
But not now.
"Gil?"
"Yes, Catherine?"
"I've loved you for so long Gil-"
"I love you too Cath"
There you said it.
Did he just say that?
He loves you?
He kisses you again.
You know you're not dreaming.
You start to just feel.
And you don't think anymore.
At least for now.
TBC? As always you decide
