Jane Doe

I ran into Alex.

This time was far different from the others.

This time, his face was flushed and his breath came in short spurts.

He was angry.

Alex. it's been awhile.

You. I've been looking for you, asshole. He hissed, his hands gripping the front of my shirt.

Oh? Can I help you?

Yeah, stay away from Lea. You don't want me as your enemy, mother fucker. I laughed.

I really found his complete outrage hysterical.

I'll do as I please. You don't deserve her. I whispered, pulling his hands away from me. I went on my way and his voice trailed after me.

Watch yourself, fucker. You won't like where you end up.

I laughed again.

I knew too much about him.

And he knew nothing of me.

I was safe and he knew it.

I went back to see her at close.

She was standing by the door, waiting.

By the look on her face when I walked up, she didn't think I would come.

Cain, she whispered. You came.

I smiled and she relaxed. A real smile claimed her mouth and I wanted to pull her close to me. I wanted to hold her and never let go.

I said I would. I always keep my word.

I'm glad. The silence that engulfed us was awkward. I sighed.

I'm sorry.

You should be. Hurt filled her voice and I couldn't help it.

I kissed her.

I poured every ounce of me into that one, simple touch.
