Say You Do
”How are you?”
I held up my newly topped off glass with a raised brow, hoping she got my point.
She cleared her throat and shifted uncomfortably as I threw it back.
She understood. Hell, she always understood me, even when I didn’t.
”It’s good to see you, Bo. Things have been so crazy. Never a break in the Fae world,” she joked, hoping to ease the tension between us.
”It never stops does it?” Small talk. I could do that right?
She shook her head. Sadness fell across her features. ”Doesn’t seem like it.”
”I worry about you, Lauren.” I was desperate to reach out and touch her, but I thought better of it. That wasn’t my place anymore. But god, I so desperately wanted it to be again.
”I know and I wish you wouldn’t. I can take care of myself.”
Her eyes took me in with a sweeping glance, as if committing me to memory once again. It sent a wisp of hope through me as silence fell between us. The air was heavy between us. So much history, yet so much left unsaid.
”Lauren, I-”
Her hand shot up and she shook her head. ”Bo, don’t please. We need to move on.”
Tears stung my eyes. ”As long as we are on this earth, we can’t not be together.”
She wiped away tears of her own and nodded, but then shook her head. ”I know, but we’ve tried. We just can’t. It just isn-”
”Don’t Lauren.” I slapped my hand on the bar in frustration. I refused to hear it again. ”Don’t say it. I will never believe that.”
Her mouth dropped open and a look of resignation fell across her face before she looked away.
I didn’t need more excuses. What I needed was to feel her; to let her love me the way only she could; to hold me. Even if it was for only one night. ”I love you Lauren. I will only ever love you. No matter the rules or the circumstances, no matter who else I thought held my heart or who I healed with, it has always been you. That will never change. And even if you’re trying to save me from the pain of watching you grow old, you can never keep me from loving you every day. That is something I never want anyone to save me from.” I might have been drunk, but I was honest.

I love this,even with unrequited love you left BO with hope.Even if they can’t be together LAUREN still allows BO the benefit of a ”last night”where there are no buts just the here and now.An unselfish moment given to someone LAUREN will always love.thanks
