Lily and Rufus were heatedly making out in Lily suite on her bed. Lily lay back on her bed and Rufus unbuttoned her blouse and kiss her neck tenderly. She reached up to remove his shirt and ran her hands down his muscled chest, before reaching down to undo his pants, when Rufus pulled away.
"Lily, wait. We can't do this."
"Right," she turned her face, so she didn't have to look at him because she knew he was completely right.
"Lil, I don't want to sleep with you and then walk away. It would only hurt ourselves in the long run, anyway."
"As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. I guess we were just caught in the heat of the moment. I am hard to resist," Lily said, a smirk playing on her face
"I think you've got that backwards. I'm the irresistible one," Rufus replied with a smile on his face.
"You wish."
He got up to leave, but before he could say anything Lily spoke.
"I'm sorry."
"What for?" He didn't know what she was referring to.
"For everything. For not being able to be what you need me to. For not being able to make you happy. For choosing him over you, twice. For not coming after you after I let you go."
"Lily-,"he didn't know how to respond to that, "It's ok."
He touched her cheek. It sent tingles down her spine. She just wanted to grab him and kiss him, but she knew it was wrong.
"Well, I should probably go, Lil."
"Yeah. I'll uhm...see you later Rufus."
"Bye."
He got up and left. Leaving two people heartbroken; all alone to wallow in their tear.
Too bad Eric didn't stick around to figure out that Lily and Rufus decided they were better off apart for their families' sake.
