Chapter 5, The run

Kyle's POV

I am running in the hotel premises, there is a golf course, then I run near the water canal, I have so many emotions, ranging from joy to anger. I need to get them under control, or I might cause some damage. I cannot go back to the hotel like this. So many ideas are spinning in my head, ideas of how to get Jessi back. Nothing else matters to me, the only important thing is fighting for her love. I have a worthy opponent a man that for what I can tell truly loves her.

I keep running blindly just trying to release all the energy I have, I don't even know where I am going. Then all of a sudden I hear a voice that tells me stop right there and move in to the light. At a distance I see woman pointing a gun at me and holding a knife in her other hand, she looks ready to fight. I am surprised and then I say, Jessi? She walks closer and says in a casual tone still pointing her weapons at me, a woman can never be too careful. Is your friend Tom Foss with you or any other person? I look at her with pain and concern in my eyes wondering what could possibly make her so distrustful. There is no question that she knows how to take care of herself.

I say, No Jessi there is no one with me, I just came for a run. She gets closer to me and says, I think you are telling the truth, but would you mind if I make sure? She then starts running one of her hands over my body, searching for weapons? The other hand is holding a gun to my head. I know this is not a romantic situation; actually I should be pretty upset at how I am being treated. But I can't, her scent, the warmth of her body the touch of her hands all over me. She better hurry up or I will end up kissing her. Finally I cannot resist, risking my life I grab her by the waist and press my lips on to hers. I am almost expecting to get shoot, instead of that I feel her responding just as intensely. Her weapons put away, her hands around my neck. Electricity circulating between us. Then she separates herself from me gasping, she pushes me away, her cheeks are still red, she looks so perfect. She then tells me with fire in her voice, I am not your toy Kyle get away from me! leave me alone! go and fight for the love of that woman that has your heart. Then I see tears forming in her eyes, she runs away. She is majestic in her anger, this time I run after her, I will run to the end of the universe for her. Whatever it takes to get her back.

Jessi's POV

Dammed, just my luck. I go out to run away my worries and of all people I run in to Kyle . Then on top of everything, I have to make sure that he is not trying to harm me or maybe Tom Foss. After all Tom Foss did try to kill me when I was 6 months pregnant. I can never be too careful, especially since I am on the Latnok board, we have plenty of enemies. I guess Kyle could be counted as one. For now however we prefer to think of him as the Latnok Prophet, that is what he was created to be. Even if Latnok cut him loose a long time ago after he killed Cassidy. After that no one expected for him to fulfill his potential, who would have guessed. Too bad it is not helping Latnok get positive publicity.

It was hard to search Kyle , feeling his strong muscles, taking in his scent. The next thing I know he is kissing me, and worse of all I am responding. Why have I never been able to have any control when it comes to Kyle? Yeah, yeah I know Brian says part of the purpose for creating me was to have children with Kyle. Mission fulfilled, why can't he just stay away?

I am running as fast as I can away from Kyle. Tears running down my cheeks like an idiot. If he did not think I was unstable before, he must think that now. I keep running trying to calm myself down. Is just that kissing him while enjoyable beyond words, also brought back all the hurt from my past with Kyle. Then all of a sudden Kyle jumps right in front of me. What is he trying to do?

Before I have time to react and kick him in the face, he is on his knees holding on to my legs and begging for forgiveness. He is crying and telling me, Jessi I have always done wrong by you. I have hurt you so much. I betrayed your love, and left to be with some one that I did not even love. I let you take the blame in front of the Trager's for Cassidy's death. There are so many things that I did wrong, I am just hoping that someday you will find it in your heart to forgive me even if I don't deserve it. It seems he is going to continue, all that he says might be true but I cannot bear seeing Kyle on his knees crying like a little child, and hanging on to me as if I am about to disappear.

I interrupt him and say in a soft gentle voice, Kyle please get up, what are you doing here anyway? Kyle looks at me with those irresistible blue puppy eyes, his face stained with tears, and tells me with anguish, Jessi, I am doing just what you told me minutes ago, I am fighting for the love of the woman that has my heart. For the love of the woman that I don't deserve.

I am in shock, maybe I misunderstood? I feel my knees shaking, before I know it I am on the floor with Kyle. He does not lose a minute and pulls me in to a hug. I have to know, to make sure that what I heard is true. So I ask, mm… Kyle what did you say? I think I did not hear your right. Kyle looks at me right in the eye with his sad blue eyes and tells me, Jessi I love you more than anything, I've been living in hell without you. I know I don't deserve your love or your forgiveness. I am just begging you for a chance to make it up to you, to prove that I am different, that I will always put you first.

I am such a baby, I hate it. I start crying and soon I am sobbing so hard that Kyle has to hold me on his lap for me not to fall completely to the ground, I give in an bury my face in his neck, while he murmurs, I am sorry Jessi, please don't cry.

Thanks for the reviews. Please review it means a lot to me.
