Love Song
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
'Cause I love you
Owen felt uneasy, he hadn't slept well during the flight, his mind was racing. He kept thinking about what he was going to say to her, but mostly thinking how he was feeling, the closer it got, the more sure he was he wanted this, he wanted her, gosh, he has missed her so much! How was she going to react? He imagined she would be surprised, but he couldn't imagine a world where she'd be mad to see him there... That thought made him relax a little, nevertheless, he was still tense. So he decided to go to the hotel he had booked, take a shower, rest a little before going to see her.
A few hours later, more rested, he could think clearer, he had nothing to be afraid of, they knew each other so well, they never stopped understanding and respecting each other. And he could add never stopped loving her to the list for all he cared. So, he got dressed, he put on his best casual outfit, his blue fitted sports jacket, Cristina always said: "in doubt, always wear blue they bring out your eyes." And from that memory, he remembered when they met, their first kiss, her laughter, her dark humor, the first time he saw her drunk, their wedding - she was breathtaking, their very bad break up… their very good make up… the sex… Finally, he remembered the reason they were separated, but he didn't feel that was a reason anymore… He just had to see her! Owen set out to the institute. By the time he got there, his heart was pounding in his chest, he was so happy. He walked to her office, she was in surgery, so her secretary let him into her office since the surgery would be over soon. Owen examined her office meticulously, her awards displayed, he felt so proud, but a bit bitter he wasn't there to celebrate them with her. He was standing by the window watching the people go about their lives, and enjoying the view she had from her office. Suddenly he heard the door open abruptly, Cristina's annoyed voice talking on the phone, and then, silence when he turned around, his eyes met hers, he smiled his boyish smile, but froze on his tracks. Cristina was wearing her scrubs, she was coming out of a surgery and talking on the phone about a patient's transfer that hadn't happened, she was really mad, so when she passed her secretary towards her office, she was in this heated conversation and didn't even notice the girl coming after her to give her her messages. When she opened the door and noticed the strawberry red hair, she couldn't move, she couldn't speak and she couldn't breathe. He looked more handsome than she remembered. He turned around, looked into her eyes with so much tenderness, so many emotions and that smile! She was sure the shock on her face had changed into a welcoming smile by now. Cristina dismissed Julia, her secretary, and slowly walked in his direction, Owen did the same. Both observed the other carefully, speaking immensely with their eyes. Owen was certain now that Cristina still had feelings for him as well! He touched her face, she relaxed a little, closed her eyes and leaned more on his hand. She opened her eyes, and finally broke their silence: "Owen, what are you doing here?" the words came out but a whisper. Owen ran his hand through her hair, he looked deeply into her eyes, slowly shortened their distance, glanced at her mouth, and once again met her eyes, as if expecting her consent, and before she knew it his lips met hers, it was very soft at first, as they started to deepen the kiss, trying to compensate all the time apart, Cristina pulled back and turned around to give herself time to think, so, Owen walked softly towards her, and said softly to her ear:
- Cristina, I understand! I really do! You are confused, but I am not! I realized you are the one and the only one I love. I told you once I would always be in love with you! You are still the love of my life! I miss this… you... us... And coming here only made me more sure of my feelings for you. Seeing you, touching you is like opening the curtains and letting the Sun in. You brighten my life! (he held her shoulders, and kissed her head) (she turned to face him, and she couldn't hold back the tears anymore, so she looked at him and listened) I miss your smile, your voice, your laughter... your touch… (he touched her face, and looked her in the eyes) You told me to go live my dream and be happy, but you were wrong, My dream is not a dream if you are not in it! YOU make me happy! And I might be late at this point, but I am here to ask for another chance! I choose a life with you, Cristina Yang, If you'll let me!
Cristina was stunned! She never expected him to come, let alone this declaration! She was listening to him very attentively, and thinking about what he was saying. She was so surprised. All these years her life has been so straight forward, settled! She lived and breathed for her work. And, even though she was happy to see him, this was so unexpected she was confused! So, she said:
- Owen, I want you to know I am really happy to see you in person, I still can't believe you came all the way here! I mean, this is a huge surprise! And you look great, but I need time to process all this! You know I still have feelings for you, but it's been 5 years and I need to think!
Owen came near her once more and said: - Take your time, I am not going anywhere, Cristina. I'll be at the Marriott, here is my room number… Although, I must confess I am hoping you'll spend some time with me While you think and I am here… (He half smiled) Besides, I was not planning on hiring a tour guide… or having dinner on my own… (he gave her a sad look). She chuckled, and said: - well, I can show you the bar across the street, they have very good tequila! The grocery store near my house and the liqueur store near there too… (and she laughed) Owen smiled and said: - Well, I sure hope you'll show me your hospital too! I can't wait to see it! Cristina smiled, pointed at the door and said: - Right, of course!
On her way out she canceled her appointments for the day with her secretary and took Owen by the arm. She explained about her trials, the facilities, showed him the new technologies, the improvements she made in the hospital… Her eyes sparkled while she was speaking about the hospital, and he felt so proud, his admiration for her was all over his face, he couldn't hide his amusement... They glanced at each other from time to time… then, out of the blue Cristina asked in an angered tone: - How do you even figure this could work? I live in Zürich, you live in Seattle!
Owen sensing her need of being reassured about his intentions spoke in a quiet and soft tone: - I don't want you to change anything else anymore! I'll move here. All I want is another chance! (he reached out and held tight her hand in both his hands) She relaxed a little and went on showing him the hospital… He grinned to himself. After she had shown him everything, they stopped at the cafeteria for some coffee. Owen looked right into her eyes and said: - You are so beautiful! Cristina looked down and with sadness in her eyes said: - Owen, I am still me, and you are still you! We still want different things… Not taking his eyes off of her, he offered: - I want to be happy, Cristina, and YOU make me happier than anything. Believe me! He stood up, and said: - It has been a Wonderful day, Cristina Yang! But it is late, I'll go back to the hotel, I hope to see you again tomorrow, if you'll let me stay! He kissed the top of her head. As he walked away, to give her some space and time to think, he turned around to look at her and give her one last smile. She watched him leave with a terribly confused look, she didn't know what to think or do, yet, she was overjoyed with his presence...
