“You’re leaving?” I asked her.

“I think it might be best if I stayed with Alice for a few days; I think we need a little time apart.” She said as she walked past me and into our bedroom. I followed her.

“Great! That’s just fucking great! I’m so glad that you can talk to Alice but not me!”

“Bette I try to okay!”

“So do I; like tonight; but you acted as if I wasn’t even here!”

“I was just surprised you were here!”

“Tina just stop it! How many times to I have to say it? I AM SORRY!”

She didn’t say anything; she went into the closet; and threw a suite case on the bed.

“So you’re really going?”

“Yes.”

“You know what don’t bother; I’ll leave.”

I put on my shoes and grabbed my car keys; I thought back to the letter Marina left me at the CAC; it was a little before closing time at the planet.

I drove to her apartment. The key was under the mat just like she said it would be; I went up to the rooftop and waited.

Lost and at Fault

{Part Four}

The Rooftop

“I didn’t think you were coming.” She said.

“Neither did I” I said back.

She started walking towards me; her body gracefully swaying from side to side. I had always thought of her as beautiful, but lately her beauty was hard to resist. I stayed still as she approached me. Her body was only inches from mine; I could feel her warm breathe against my skin. My heart started pounding faster the closer she was to me.

“This isn’t right…” I whispered into her ear.

Her face was pressed against mine; the softness of her skin against mine; she whispered back, “What isn’t right?”

Her voice was deep and exotic. How could anyone not love her accent? Without realizing it; I let my hands roam her back; my finger slowly ran down her arms until she laced her fingers with mine.

“I should go…” I tired to pull away bust she gently pulled me back. Her dark eyes, those beautiful eyes; they looked right into mine. It was as if she could see right through me.
