Lava paced his office like an animal in a cage. He hadn't seen her in almost two days. He decided that she needed to come to him. Her coming to him was supposed to be her choice.
That didn't mean he didn't call her roommate to see what or if anything was going on. She had told him Miyu seemed distant and was spending the day alone.
He didn't want her to spend the day alone thinking. Everything that she could be thinking could be against him. He was not natural to this world. She was fighting who she was and what she was.
His demons instincts were in a rage. She, by all means was his mate and his mind screamed that he be with her. He wanted to take care of her. He sent her wine to make sure she was ok but was she drinking it?
Did she stop drinking it so she could try and go back to normal? Did she know if she did that she would die, again? There was so much that she didn't know and so much that could kill her.
He had waited for her to think long enough he was going to find her. He needed to see for himself that she was ok. He needed to make sure that she hadn't done anything stupid while being upset.
As he was leaving his office his phone rang. He was shocked that it was Miyu when he picked it up.
"Meet me at the first place we met in one hour."
Miyu hung up the phone leaving him confused beyond words. Why did she want him to meet her at the school? It hit him then… She wanted to meet where she tried to kill him. By damn she remembered. He ran from his office praying he would meet her and everything he did would pay off.
Lava was at the park fifteen minutes before he knew she would be. He had come here often over the years. This was his favorite spot to come and think. He honestly liked the past better, but time never stood still.
He could only look ahead and he hoped that his future would again have his long lost love. He didn't think he could go on if he had found her only to loose her to someone else later on.
"I'm glad you came and didn't hesitate on the location." She smiled and walked up so she was only about a foot away.
"I see you've had time to think on everything. You picking this location is a good sign on my behalf, so I hope that means things are looking up." He was hesitating in his words.
She knew he was in a sense afraid of her. He was afraid of what she might do or say. She held his heart in her hands and she didn't want to disappoint him. She didn't want to hurt him anymore then he already was.
She closed the gap between them and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I remember you and I remember us." She kissed him deeply holding him tightly.
He wrapped his arms around her gripping her as if she would disappear again. He put four hundred and fifty six years of pent up emotion into the kiss.
As the kiss deepened the air around them began to swirl. The world seemed to fade away. The white light that seemed to always follow them grew from under their feet and engulfed them. Words whispered on the wind.
If I meet my love, and we should part,
We'll meet again, where we did start.
Our hearts are bonded, our souls united
Never shall our love be un-requited.
"I will never loose you again. I'm sorry I had to do so much to get you to remember but you are my life. I saw you and I knew I had to do everything I could to set right the wrongs done to us in the past. If you were not meant to be with me then you would never have come back." He could only stare at her and cry.
He had waited to be reunited with her since her death. Whether it be his death or the joyous rebirth of her. He didn't question this miracle he just went with it.
She wiped the tears from his eyes. She really had no idea what he had been through over the years, and she couldn't possibly understand. All she knew was that she had a great sense of missing him.
"I am with you and we are together. Do not cry and more Lava. Shed not another tear for your lost love. I have come back and we will now be together forever." She kissed him again, running her hands through his hair.
She had felt like they had never been apart. His body was more tone then it was in the past. His gentle eyes had become a little harder but still held their softness when he looked at her.
"When we return I want you to move into my penthouse with me. You will begin your work on Monday for the contracting job. I said whoever I hired I wanted to work closely with. How much closer can I get then you in my home." He grabbed her hand and started toward the car he had waiting.
"Ok, ok. Drop me off at my dorm and then come pick me up in the morning. I want to go out with the girls tonight. If you happen to be out we'll be at Club 719. I'm not going to drop out of school though. I already paid up till my Senior year is over." As they pulled up to the dorm building she gave him a longing look and headed in. She hoped her friends would understand.
