He saw Gina exit the building but did not want to cause alarm; instead he parked his car out of eye view around a corner. Once out of sight he got out and walked into the same reception as Gina had previously done. He was about to talk the woman on reception when he noticed a familiar man ascending the stairs,
"Graham" He called out while running over.
"I've already told Gina that whatever Kerry has done I'm not interested." He said with a sigh.
"I wasn't coming about that I just wanted to know what's wrong with her" he replied.
"Plenty. And that's why I want to stay out of this; now if you'll excuse me I have work to do" He turned his back up carried on up the stairs.
He was walking away from the problem that was something that Smithy so wanted to do but Kerry had this hold over him, it was something indescribable, full of passion. He cared beyond the call of duty and he could just not turn away.
"She's in hospital and I don't know what's going on. You might be willing to turn your back on her but I'm not. I love your daughter more than you ever will."
There they were the words he searched for, expressed finally but to the wrong person. A scene had been caused yet the pain he felt shielded the embarrassment, instead he stared at the emotionless man facing him back. No reaction from the man who cared for his love without love, his heart yearned for the woman; so frail, so alone.
His hand fell to his side as he shook his head in utter disgust. The area was still silent but the turn off his feet on the marble flooring caused activity to start.

The news racked her mind in a way even she could not comprehend, one by one she packed her things into the black bag. The pamphlets lay on the bedside table still in the same position as when the nurse placed them there. When given them she wanted nothing to do with them so why now? Picking them up she through them into the bin beside her and zipped her bag up. A tear ran down her cheek as she thought deeply, the end was clearer now but her emotions still seemed as mixed as ever.
The nurse shot her a smile as she went about her medication rounds, smiling back she through her bag over her left shoulder and walked towards the door. She turned her back on the room that filled her nights, the loneliest nights of her life.
Holding her head up high she noticed the figure at the end of the corridor, he towered over her but he was not menacing; he offered her protection from those lonely times. Would she take his protection or face the world on her own?
"Hey" he said softly looking at her, appreciating every inch of her with his green eyes.
"Hey" She replied in the same tone with misty eyes.
"Your going home then" He said, rocking forwards and backwards on the heels of his feet.
"Yeah" she said smiling at him slightly.
For a brief moment they stood there looking around them lost her words, until their voices collided. Smithy stopped to let Kerry carry on.
"Thanks, so erm what are you doing here" She said.
"I've come to see how you are. Before you say anything just let me say what I have to OK?" He said looking down at her with the expression that melted her heart even when she felt most cold.
"Ok" she replied bluntly. This was not something that Smithy was expecting.
"Can I take you home and talk there" He questioned.
There was a brief pause while she thought,
"Erm OK it can't take too long though I'm tired" She stated, although she was feeling tired it was not why she said this.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
On the way to her flat Smithy realised what he wanted to ask her most,
Pulling the car into gear he looked at her for a brief moment before saying,
"What was wrong with you Kerry?".
Pausing while thinking of an adequate answer she scratched her arm,
"Erm… I didn't have enough sugar in my blood."
It seemed to work but deep down she hated the secrecy, although she knew Smithy wasn't ready for the truth.
At her flat Smithy held her hand as he guided her towards the sofa, he looked into her eyes and saw hurt and pain; something that he wanted so badly to stop if only he had been given the chance.
"I know that you probably don't feel the same but I have to tell you Kerry I feel more for you than you think. When I thought you was pregnant I was shocked to say the least but I wanted to be there for you…"
Before he could finish Kerry cried back,
"Please Smithy, I don't want to talk about that there was no baby and there never will be".
"Kerry just let me finish, we had a one night stand that's all. You might feel like that's all you want from us, casual sex but I think more of you than that. I love you Kerry and I don't care if you don't feel that way. There you go I've made a fool out of myself but Ill deal with that, what I can't deal with is not being able to tell you how I feel." He said, so passionately that every word merged together.
She fell silent while the realisation of it hit her. Then the pain stabbed her heart when she realised she could not do what Smithy had just done.
"No, its not a one night stand for me but I can't hurt you Smithy, you want something that I can't give you. You have to trust me on this one." It hurt her in a way she couldn't comprehend and her body became swallowed up by a wave of emotions.
"I don't care if you'll hurt me Kerry you've said what I dreamt you'd say to me one day. I love you and nothing will ever change that; I'll love you for the rest of my life and I want to care for you every day if you'd let me." He was everything she had ever wanted and he was there like she had dreamed. Was she being selfish in taking him?

She lay on top of him kissing every inch of his body while his warm body held her tight. This was comfort that she had longed for and her body was full of sweet ecstasy. His hands caressed her smooth skin as she stared into his eyes deeply and passionately, brushing away her hair he trailed kisses down her neck and fell into full embrace.
This wasn't a moment of passion this was a lifetime.
Even I can't believe I wrote that in an hour hehe. Hope you enjoyed xx
