"I missed the signs." Donna whispered grabbing a bottled water out of the mini bar and walking back over to the bed. He looked at her from where he sat.
"Yeah, and it's not like you've been busy or anything." He said softly, his reality starting to fall back in to place around him.
"Yeah well it's my job to take care of you." She muttered to herself with out thinking.
"No it's not." He reminded her calmly. "Not anymore."
She blinked up at him, he was looking at his hands. She lowered her head until she was level with his eyes.
"It's always going to be my job, Josh." She told him firmly watching him smile at her. "Here." She handed him the water before she went to her purse and dug through it to the bottom.
"Donna don't tell me you still have-?" He stopped his question as she pulled a small prescription bottle out and held it up triumphantly for him to see. He shook his head at her before tilting it up to the ceiling.
"What?" She walked back over to him and opened the bottle. "Hey? Talk to me."
"I don't deserve you." He was talking with out moving his lips like he did when he was being his most candid.
"What?" Her voice hit the higher octaves. He knew that meant she was surprised he said it.
"I don't. I'm a coward." He met her eyes as she went to drop the pill into his hand. She hesitated. "I can't even follow your lead."
"Why didn't you take the key?" She said suddenly, he looked at her pretty eyes. "Josh?"
"I hesitated. Then they took it." He told her, again without moving his lips.
"Why did you hesitate?" She was studying him.
"I don't deserve you." He repeated looking at her like it was obvious. Her hands went to his face and she pulled her mouth to his and kissed him hard.
"Don't ever say that again." She told him softly running her hands down his arms. "Promise me." His eyes scrunched together. "Josh?"
He nodded slowly, bringing his hand up to her cheek and touching it softly. He pulled her face back to his, wrapping his other hand around her waist and turning her onto her back on the bed.
He pulled away from her for a second, tracing his fingers down her face.
"I need you." He told her as his voice shook. "If this is going to make me loose you again.." She lifted her body up and kissed him again.
"I'm here Joshua." She told him. "I'm always going to be here."
He kissed her again, bringing his fingers back to her face. He felt her hands on the buttons of his shirt. He pulled a hand back and let it slide under her blouse and up her chest, skimming the edges of her bra. She pressed his shirt back off of his shoulders and he sat up to shrug it off, looking back down at the five buttons of her blouse. He undid them slowly, watching her face. Letting her shirt slip off, she arched her back and unhooked her bra. He ran his fingers under one of it's lily white straps.
"We're really going to do this." Whispered to her, still looking at the strap. She moved her finger under his chin until he looked at her. She smiled at him slyly. "Donna?" She nodded watching him hook his finger under the strap and pull it back.
He slowly brought his lips back down to her skin. She pulled at the button of his pants until it slipped open she used her feet to push them to the ground. She tugged on on the bottom of his boxers as he fought with the belt on her skirt.
She moved her fingers over his and unhooked it with ease. He laughed a little, unfastening the clasp and pulling it off of her, finding a matching pair of ivory panties. He ran his hands over them slowly before he took them off.
He looked at her again, letting his eyes sweep over her body below him. He met her eyes, and she bit her lip. He grinned shaking his head slowly back and forth before he lowered himself over her. Kissing her perfect lips and stroking his hands through her hair.
She had been the one who sped things up. She had been the one who put her hand on the small of his back and drew him to her. He'd just followed her lead.
