Its You...It Always Was You...It Always Will Be You
Inspired by the Quote "I would have fought heaven and hell to find you."-Robert Scorpio
He watches the moonlight as it dances across her delicate skin. He still thinks she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
"Anna," he calls, his bare feet toddling down the deck. She turns around and smiles at him and his heart skips a beat. She has that effect on him. Good God, how he loves her…His Anna. His beautiful wife.
"Robert," she whispers hoarsely, and he wraps his arms around her torso. Good God, how she loves him…her Robert. Her handsome husband.
"Penny for your thoughts," he asks, and her smile fades with lingering questions. He traces the contours of her cheek and feels the tension as she looks into his eyes.
"Just thinking," she says, but he knows her well enough to know what she is thinking.
"My Anna," he whispers, his fingers entwined with hers as the heat in their eyes lingers. "You are not really worried about Holly are you?"
"What if she does not sign the divorce papers? You know as well as I do that she wants you back. She always has."
He kisses her lightly at first, his fingers skimming through her hair. He kisses her again more deeply…more intense…with the long dormant passion he never forgot, even when they were apart.
"Sign the papers Holly," he snaps. "Please don't make me take you to court."
"Why won't you love me again Robert," she questions.
"Because I love HER…I always have…you know I always will. "
"So what was our marriage…a place holder?"
He does not want to hurt her but he knows he cannot lie to her either… "I did love you Holly but I was also denying my true feelings for Anna…I love you but I'm not IN love with you. Please try to understand."
"How could you be in love with a woman who left you for your greatest enemy?"
"She never left anyone Holly…she was kidnapped…and I would walk through fire to bring her back to me. I want to marry her Holly. If you force my hand, you know I can bury you."
"It was always meant to be you and me Luv? When you disappeared, I went a little stark raving mad. When I had a clearer head and all those insecurities passed…I knew it was you all along. I sent Holly Divorce papers before I went to look for you…I made my choice. Tonight, Holly knows that too."
He takes the papers from his pocket and lets her read the signatures. "Is this…Robert is this real? Are you finally free?"
"Not for long," he says, as he drops to his knee and holds out a ring…a new ring this time.
"I thought the old one had too many bad memories. Will you marry me again Anna? This time forever."
"Oh yes…Yes Robert, I will marry you. "
He slips the ring onto her finger and she throws her arms around him. "I can't wait to be your wife for real this time."
He kisses her slowly and deeply, letting all of his emotions pour into that one kiss. "I can't wait to be your husband again. Let's go celebrate."
He lifts her off the ground and she laughs because it has been so long. She should have known better than to ever doubt that they would someday be together again. He was her soulmate, after all, and soulmates always find their way in the end.
