Driving through town, the lights from other cars and buildings flashing past as I sped towards my destination; Lorraine's house. I knew where it was from the time I had spent there during the Easter break. Tears threatened to spill out of the corner of my eyes, I couldn't do this, I need to be the strong one. 'Come on Boston.' I sigh as I pull up to her house and park amongst the gravel, her red Ferrari glimmering under the distant stars.
The rain was starting to set in but that was the last thing I was thinking about, I was already thinking ahead to what I was actually going to say. The idea of planning the words in my head was a small comfort but it was too late now as I was at her doorstep. The door ajar slightly, she had seen me coming.
Her cheeks and under her eyes were puffy, red, she'd been crying. She wasn't the only one I thought. 'Nik.' She said almost a whisper. 'Nik….I.' I shook my head. '. I stepped back slightly cold from the weather outside and bitter from the way things had ended so suddenly. I looked up from the floor to her face. 'I should go, erm it was a mistake me coming here, forget it ever happened.' I replied turning around, making my way back up the path. 'Nikki Boston you listen to me now!' She has said it louder that time. I froze in my tracks with my back still facing her. 'I love you.' She shouted. 'Love. Yet you said you don't mix business with pleasure. So what was I to you?' I reply icily, it was going to take a lot more than that to convince me. 'Nikki, I've never done this before, I pushed you aside and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I want to let you in but I don't know how.' She blurted waiting for me to react. Slowly I turned to face her. I couldn't help but soften my facial expression at the sight of her. Beautiful blond curls cascading down her shoulders casing her face, her pale complexion and shiny blue eyes. Her lips puckering slightly as she was breathing quickly in panic. I started walking towards her stopping at the doormat.
Lorraine's point of view:
Nikki had moved nearer. Her dark brown hair was ebbing at the side of her cheeks, just the way I found her attractive. Her arms wrapped across her chest; attempting to provide herself with some form of comfort. She opened her mouth as if she was going to answer me but quickly thought better of it. 'Nik.' I whisper. She shut her eyes and I watched as one solid tear fell down her face. 'Nik talk to me.' I started towards her and placed my hands firmly on her waist regardless of the argument we'd been having; beautiful girls like her weren't made to cry. 'Lorraine I….' she choked back some tears but silenced when my hand reached up to her cheek cupping it softly in my palm. 'I can't do this being close then being pushed away when people see, when they find out that we're together. I need you to be in this or nothing at all. I've done this before, had relationships with people and I can't keep moving back to square one. 'She stated shaking her head. 'Nik, I didn't mean what I said.' 'Why say it then?' she retorted. 'I'm scared.' 'Of what?' She raised her hands in confusion. 'Letting myself love you.' I responded. 'I don't do this touchy feely emotions and I need time to get to know what we are what this is, all I know is that I love you. I'd have never dreamed this would happen.' 'Falling for a co-worker or a girl?' 'Both.'
We both stared into each other's eyes for a second, the longest bloody second I'd ever had to be honest. Her dark blue eyes scanning my face for any hidden emotions I was portraying. 'I'll erm…..'She turned to leave 'Nik wait.' I rushed towards her, now or never to prove my affections I suppose. I grabbed her fiercely, passionate, with no fear as to what would happen next. Our lips met. For a second I felt hers trembling, before she relaxed into my arms. Her arms uncrossed moved up and down the sides of my waist. My hands entangled in her short brown hair. I bite her bottom lip and she slides her tongue across mine, the rain saturating her top, accentuating her slim waist beneath the tight fitting shirt. God I've never wanted someone more in my life.
