Numero Trienta y Ocho

It seemed like everything froze, as we just stared at each other. Everyone else noticed it too, and as he slowly walked towards me I could hear people whispering all around me. We were all waiting for the moment.

As soon as it seemed like he couldn't get any closer, all eyes were on us. "Rae..." He said quietly.
I just looked at him and nodded. "....You look great." He continued. "Thanks." I said shyly. We just stood there for what seemed like centuries until he spoke up again. "Do you uh...want to go somewhere more private?" My mind told me 'no', that I should turn around and ignore him. After all the pain and trouble he caused me. But then my heart told me yes, I needed to know what he had to say because in all honesty, I never stopped loving him. "Sure." I replied. He started walking towards the door and I followed. I wasn't sure where we were going but I didn't really care either.

He led me to his car, and I quickly obliged to getting in. As we drove away we stayed in silence. I didn't ask where we were going. Soon we arrived at a familiar building, his apartment. I didn't get out at first, I was too deep in thought. He came around and opened my door. "Are you coming?" He asked innocently. I nodded my head and got out. We walked into his apartment and sat down on the couch. Just like Eleigh's apartment, everything still looked the same and even smelled the same. All of a sudden I felt him grab my hand. "Rae..." He said again, just like he did at the club. As if he had something to say but didn't know the right words. "Why?" I asked him. We both knew exactly what I was talking about. "I still love you, I always have." "That isn't an answer, that doesn't explain to me why you put me through all that shit." I said getting impatient. "I didn't want to hurt you anymore. The relationship wasn't working and I didn't think it ever would. I thought I could just get over it and get over you." "Oh that's great. It's was all about you and what you wanted, wasn't it." The anger evident in my voice. "Rae. Just stop. Listen to me. Yes that's how it was but, I thought it would benefit both of us in the end. It didn't end up working that way. I still love you and ever since you left I realized how much of a mess I made. How I ruined everything. I've tried moving on but, nothing helps. I miss you Rae, I really do." I sat there with thousands of thoughts running through my mind. It was hard not giving in to what he said, I mean I really did love him and I don't think he could hurt me anymore than he already had. What's the harm in giving it another shot? I looked up at him. I could sense the hope in his eyes. "I swear to God, if you EVER do anything like that to me again I will personally beat your ass." He smiled at me as he leaned over and kissed me. Sensing how much we missed each other I kissed back. I got on top of him. Soon enough he picked me up and took me to his bedroom. He crawled on top of me while sliding up my dress. I helped him take off his pants. As he leaned himself back onto me I seductively whispered in his ear. "I missed this the most."
