Loving You
Arthur walked towards his front porch, trying to find his key, and noticed Ariadne sitting on the bottom steps, with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked, suddenly feeling concerned.
"I was worried about you. I thought you were dead, because you didn't call me today." She sniffled trying to wipe the tears off of her face.
Arthur accidentally laughed, before walking closer to her to help her stand up.
"Don't laugh, it isn't funny." She smiled as she stood up. "I guess I better leave then."
"No, please stay. I think you owe me an explanation."
She looked at his pleading brown eyes, filled with sadness. "Okay, I'll stay."
He held her hand as they entered his house.
They both sat in awkward silence for several minutes, silently drinking coffee in the kitchen, before Ariadne decided to speak up.
"Arthur, I don't want you to get the wrong impression that I have been ignoring you because I can't handle it, I just needed time to wrap my mind around the thought of you being sick."
"I was starting to think that you were going to break up with me. I missed you."
Her heart broke as he put his hand over hers. She was ridden with guilt. How could I be so selfish about this? It's about how he feels not about me. "I would never do that to you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that and it was a selfish thing for me to do."
"I understand Ariadne. It must be a difficult thing."
"No, it's not okay for me to just abandon you. This is about how you're feeling not about me."
Arthur sighed and smiled at her. "So what do you want to do?"
"Anything you have in mind." They both smiled at each other, and for once in several weeks, they didn't argue, instead they let their love for each other surface, Arthur wanted to shout it out to the world at how in love he was, for once in his life, he was in love with someone amazing that was loving and caring. He would be willing to spend the rest of his life with her, even if it would be cut short.
