Okay here's an update for all of the readers. Sorry it took so long.
Chapter 5: I Less Than Three You. (If you get this you get a scarf shaped cookie.)
I keep my eyes closed in fear of him leaving. "Mark? Are you asleep?" He's in a chair by my bed now. "Mark you know me. You understand that I don't like to talk about my emotions or feelings. That's why it's good that you're asleep now. I don't get why you couldn't talk to me. I'm so mad at myself for not seeing how much you were hurting. I guess I was so caught up in everything that has been going on in my life that I didn't notice how much pain you were in. Mimi's getting married next month. I'm happy for her, I really am. I owe her a lot."
It takes all my strength to stay silent through all of this. "She made me realize something. She made me see what I've been denying for years." He takes my hand in his. "I look back on all of the bad and good things that have happened to me and you know what I see?" He continues when I don't answer. "I see you. You've been with me through you through everything. Actually, it's always been you." What's he saying? "Mark I love you. I've always loved you. And it took me something like this to see it." Roger loves me? Ok I'm dreaming. I fell asleep and now this is all a dream. Yep that's what's happening.
"I'm sorry I left so sudden the other day. You have to understand, I was so scared of losing you. It's not supposed to be that way. You're the survivor. I can't lose you Mark. You have to get help. If not for me, then for yourself." After he finishes I notice a wet spot on my sheets. Is he crying? Screw faking sleep.
"Roger?" He looks up at me. His eyes are red and moist. He stands up and places his hand on my cheek.
"How long have you been awake?" He asks.
"I never went to sleep." He pulls his hand away.
"You heard everything?"
"Everything." I echo.
He stands up, returning to his old self. "Roger don't. It's me, you don't have to act tough." His shoulders droop and he frowns. "You love me?" He looks at his feet and nods. "I-I…I love you too." Roger looks up hopeful.
"You do?"
I nod. "I'm so sorry for putting you through this. I'm going to try and stop. But, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm going to need help. I can't do this on my own." He sits on the edge of my bed and smiles. Oh my god! Roger Davis is smiling. Squee!
"I'll help with everything I can" He says and looks me in the eye. "You don't know how happy you have just made me."
"I bet I could guess." And with that I pull him down and crush my lips to his. His tongue glides over my bottom lip and I open my mouth allowing him entrance. Our tongues battle for a bit before he pulls away in need of air. I'm panting and let me say that was the best kiss I have ever had. I move up to kiss him again, but he stops me. I frown at him.
"You need your rest." I roll my eyes.
"Yes mother." I lie back and sigh. "Roger?"
"Yeah?"
"Will you lie with me?" I pout, no one can resist the pouting. He lies down next to me and pulls my body to his. After a few minutes of silence I hear him say my name. "Hmm…?"
"Why is there a cow in your bed?"
The end! (Of the chapter.)
Hope you guys liked it. You know you review! PEER PRESSURE!
