He tried his best to fight the despair. What was it that wanted him to return to darkness? He laid there trying his best to lift up his heavy heart. The walls seemed to close in....and then it rang. Out of nowhere his phone started going off. It was her...the one he longed for. The one that couldn't be tamed. The one that held his heart. He didn't want her to see him like this. He let the call go unanswered. He sat for half an hour debating whether or not he had done the right thing. He ignored the person that could make him soar...but sometimes she couldn't see how he felt. There was a knock at the door. He managed to get up to open it..it was her!!! Why? Why now??

    "I tried to call first but you didn't answer. I'm sure your midget porn collection needed you but I was hoping to talk."

   This is what he feared. He wanted his life to end and she had jokes.

  "So are you real busy?"

He just stared at her..

"Ok good because this is kind of important"

He led her to the couch.

"I'm not used to you being so quiet so I'll just jump right in. I met someone who likes me and i need advice."

His heart stopped. He didn't think he could sink lower. He had been wrong.

"There's just one problem. I have serious feelings for someone else and I don't know how they feel. So it's complicated."

And now another guy....

"So what should I do. I'm afraid if I ask the guy I like he may reject me and I'm not sure what I'll do...."

Well. Here he was. Falling to pieces inside. But he would do whatever he had to just to make her happy. He loved her. So he told her, "You can't be scared to take a leap of faith. I mean there are tons of guys, and probably girls, who would be interested in you for nothing more than your looks. If there's a guy out there that sees you as more than a trophy, it would be a shame if you passed that up for someone else without ever knowing. At least that's what i think."

There. He'd done it again. Like so many times before. Now he'd get to hear about this other guy.

"Thank you. That does help. There is a guy who seems to get me and know me and I can't imagine my life without him. I'm gonna go tell him I love him right now. You're a peach."

She got up and went to the door, told him goodbye, and went out. He collapsed as the door shut. He should be alone. This was for the best.

Five minutes passed and there was another knock on the door. He went to get it. She was back...

"So. Funny story. I love you. I have for so long. I stood out here for five minutes afraid that I'd do this and you would say you didn't feel the same. You've always been the best to me and I've been so foolish that I blinded myself to the truth. I've been so afraid I'd lose you that it never dawned on me that I have never lost you. I love you...."

He broke into tears. Crying harder than he even thought possible.

"I love you too. I have for so long....i have wanted to tell you..."

"I'm so sorry", she said, "I wish I'd let myself see. I'm so very sorry...."

He laid his head on her lap and she let him cry...when he finally calmed down, she helped him to his feet. Taking his hands, she led him to his bedroom. After laying him down, she crawled into bed beside him....

"I'm here now my dearest. I'll never let you hurt again..."

She kissed him lightly on the lips. His body instantly melted to her touch. He loved her...

She ran her hand up his shirt and then down towards his belt...

"Tonight love, you will feel no pain...and no night after..."

He was so scared as she undid his belt and kissed her way down his chest. He hadn't been letting anything touch him....like he was saving himself for her. And he was scared. As she gracefully undid the button on his pants and lowered the zipper he couldn't help but start to feel ecstasy beginning. He had wanted her so long. He wanted them together. He wanted....

All thought escaped as he found himself in her mouth. His breath started increasing slowly and steadily as his heart raced. "I love you", he let slip out, "I always have..."

  She removed her mouth and responded, "I love you. I think I always have as well. I just denied us both happiness. I want to fix that starting today."

She removed his pants completely then let him lay there as she removed her own.
"Today is finally our day", she smiled at him as she started to climb on top of him. He held his breath, knowing what was about to happen but not prepared at all. She reached her hand down to find him ready and guided him to the spot that showed she was ready as well. The world stopped again as he felt her put him inside of her. She moved her hips back and forth as both entered a state of euphoria....
