A/N: This is a short but sweet chapter. The song I use is called "Without You" by Otan Vargas. As always I own nothing but the idea of the story. Thank you all for the reviews. And yes, that child had horrible timing! Lol.

I dropped my bags on the floor and let out a loud sigh. I was finally home. The tour was amazing, but I was ready to be home. The last few weeks of the tour were a little frustrating for me. I was exhausted and Selena started production on a new movie. She was on location somewhere in Montana. It was annoying. I wouldn't even be able to see her anytime soon. We stopped talking as frequently as we had been unless it involved Stella. Even then the conversations were brief. I was hoping our relationship would have progressed further. Needless to say I was bummed.

As I lay in bed I couldn't sleep. It was absolutely crazy. I was way too tired to be awake still. Frustrated I got out of bed and I headed into my studio. I didn't have my piano anymore, so I picked up my guitar and started plucking the strings. I felt sad. I lost myself in the sound of the guitar. As I played I began to hum a melody. Before long I found words and I began to sing softly.

Without you I'm not here

Without you I can't see myself

Without you I can't feel
Without you my life would still be the same

I once was lost in this empty world
But now I found myself in you
I continue to fight and continue to lose
But I still believe in you

Without you I'm not here
Without you I can't see myself
Without you I can't feel
Without you my life would still be the same

So I want to say this to you before you go
Cause I don't know if I will have another chance to say

Without you I'm not here
Without you I can't see myself
Without you I can't feel
Without you my life would still be the same

I continued strumming the guitar after I finished singing.

"That was beautiful." I heard a voice say. I nearly jumped through the ceiling as I sprang up to face the intruder.

"Jesus fucking Christ Sel! You just scared the shit out of me! What are you doing creeping around my house!?" I exclaimed when I saw her standing in the doorway.

"I wanted to see you." She said softly as she moved toward me. "Was...is that song...about me?" She asked tentatively.

I nodded my head yes. I was still in a state of shock and terror. What was she doing here?

"I thought you were working." I said once my nerves calmed enough for me to speak.

"I am. I have to be back tonight. I couldn't stay away. I needed to see you Demi. I need to know what exactly it is we are doing. I can't keep doing whatever this is." She said waving her arms around. She seemed frustrated.

"Remember the conversation we were having on my tour bus a couple months back?" I asked her. She nodded. "I asked you what you wanted?" She nodded again. "You never answered, so I'm going to ask you again. What do you want Sel?"

I reached my hand out and cupped her cheek. She closed her eyes and leaned into my hand as she covered it with her own. I brushed my thumb across her lips as I pulled her closer to me. "I want you." I barely heard her whisper.

"Say it again Sel, louder."

She looked me dead in the eye. "I want you."

That was all I needed to hear. I had her permission. I leaned forward and brushed our lips together. I felt her arms wrap around my neck as she pushed her body up against me. I tangled my hands in her hair as I pressed my lips against hers. I heard her let out a low moan as I deepened the kiss. It took all the willpower I had to break the kiss.

"Selena." I panted, out of breath. "I love you."

"I know." She said as she kissed me again. I felt her legs wrap around my waist as I lifted her off the ground. Somehow I managed to get us upstairs to my bedroom. I laid her on the bed and as she slid up toward the headboard, she pulled me with her.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked.

"Yes, baby. I'm sure." She leaned towards me and kissed my lips. "You're it for me." She said softly. I nipped her neck and she let out a soft moan. "I've missed you so much." She breathed.

The rest of the morning was spent making up for lost time. Not an inch of her body was left untouched. She came to life underneath my fingertips. The soft moans, whispered promises of forever, and urgent kisses were all the encouragement I needed. She was mine and I was hers.

I woke up several hours later. Selena was nestled against me. I wanted to stay with her in this moment forever. I knew it wasn't possible, but I could dream right? I decided to do the responsible thing and wake her. She had a flight to catch soon and I didn't want her to miss it.

"Sel. Baby. I need you to wake up." I said softly while ribbing her back. I watched as she slowly started I wake up. She opened her eyes and as soon as they met mine, she smiled. She leaned toward me and I met her halfway for a sweet kiss.

"Can't I just stay?" She asked, her voice raspy from sleep.

"I'd love for you to stay, but you have to get back to set." I smiled.

"I just got you back Dem. I don't wanna go..." She said sadly.

"I love you Selena." I said kissing her softly.

"I love you too."

"Let's get you ready." I said as I climbed out of bed.

While she was taking a shower, I took a minute to process what was happening. Selena and I are back together. I had no idea what was going to happen moving forward. The one thing I knew for sure, I would never stray from her again. Time would tell if she truly trusted me or not. Once she finished showering, she pulled on her jeans and put on the t-shirt I was wearing earlier.

"It smells like you." She said with a shy smile.

"Come on. I'll drive you to the airport." I held out my and she took it as we walked out of my house and to my truck. The drive to the airport was uneventful. She sang along to the radio and held my hand the entire way there. Once we arrived I pulled up to the passenger unloading zone at the terminal.

"Call me when you land."

"I will."

"I'm gonna miss you Sel."

"Can't you just come with me?" She asked hopefully.

I considered her request for a few moments before answering.

"Give me a couple days. I'll fly out and stay with you until you finish filming. There's a few things I need to take care of first."

"Are you serious!?" She looked like she was going to burst with happiness. She grabbed me and hugged me tightly.

Once we finished saying our goodbyes, she watched as I drove off. I was so thankful to have her back in my life. For the first time since I signed those divorce papers, my heart felt whole again. There was only one thing left for me to do. I had to somehow convince her to marry me. Again.
