Flashback 1983 after the situation in the cafeteria

Robert hated watching Holly leave. He thought it was nice that she insisted on coming and laying with him until bedtime. After today's events, having the one thing he loved more than life itself next to him meant everything.

Holly stood outside his door. Her robe tied shut, and her heart was still with Robert. 'Would you stop wasting time?"'She told herself then turned around. She opened the door without a thought and closed it behind her.

Robert had a way of devouring her with his eyes, and this was no different. She dropped her robe to the floor and sat down on the bed.

Robert scooted over. He was in awe. Was she really in there? If this was a dream, he wanted to stay in it. He was going to let her make the first move either way. He just watched her. Seeing the gown on her, he could not believe that is what she had on underneath.

Holly turned and placed her hand on his cheek, leaning in to capture those lips. It had been too long since their last passionate kiss. It would never be again.

Robert took over, laying her back on the bed. His hands roamed her body, giving her breast a slight squeeze. He remembered that first night and morning, they had spent together. What she liked the most. His lips traveled down her neck, lowering her gown as he kissed the tops her her breasts.

Holly was loving every minute of her hot breath on her flesh, but she also wanted him not to push himself. "Be careful." She whispered.

Careful? What was that word? His blue eyes locked with Holly's brown eyes, a lustful look he couldn't hide.

Holly knew she was a goner. Why fight it? She watched as Robert made quick work of her gown. They had both wanted each other so much.

Holly insisted on being on top without words. She was taking control. She kissed his bandage and then looked into his eyes.

Very few words were said that night during their lovemaking, moans, and calling out for each other, but other than that, their actions were saying everything.

She laid listening to his heartbeat afterward.

"I love you." Robert sleepily whispered. This was the perfect way to end this hectic day.

End of flashback

Robert and Holly both found themselves on the bed as their memories went back to that time.

"That was some night. I like to think of it as the first night you got on top of things." Robert winked and kissed her head.

Holly chuckled. "We've never just had sex. We've always made love, and I love that about us."

"Me too." Robert replied. He also loved how she always managed to get his mind in a better place. "You up for a sauna tonight?" Robert asked her.

"Are you?" Holly asked as she looked up into his eyes.

Robert gave her. "Oh, you have no idea."
