When Past Comes Present

A little piece of heaven

"Stop James....Please" I screamed laughing as he had me pinned to the couch tickling me.
"Never!" he yelled back as he dug his nails into my side tickling me. I kept wiggling my body under
his trying to get away. "James I got to pee" I whined hoping it would get me away from. "Then
piss yourself young lady" he said putting on a southern accent mocking mine. I couldnt help but
laugh even harder. "But but I love you" I yelled out. He stopped tickling me and sit up straight
straddling me. He put his hand under my chin and slowly rubbed his thumb over my lip. "Say it
again" he said in a soft whisper. I turned my head sideways and looked at him for a moment.
"Say what again James" I propped myself up on my elbows. He looked down and sighed. "Did
you mean it?" his voice sounded sad. I stared at him as I searched my brain to figure out what
he was talking about. Then I realized what he was talking about. I reached out and grabbed his
tie and pulled him down onto me. He didnt do anything just laid there he didnt even look at me.
"James Owen Sullivan you have had my heart since the very first time I saw you when I was 16
yrs old. Yes it is true. I love you. And I always will love you even if you dont love me back." He
raised his head up and looked into my eyes with his "Always" he asked his voice cracking as he
said it. "Yes James always." He licked his lips and laid his forehead against mine and smiled.
"I like hearing you telling me that" he pressed his lips hard against mine and started kissing down
my jawline. I moved so I was looking at him. "Do you love me James" he looked back at me and furrowed his brow. "Yes ofcourse I do. Why would you think I didnt" Sighing I got up off the couch and walked to the kitchen and leaned against the bar seperating the kitchen from the livingroom. "Because you havent said to me even when we were teens. Not once have you ever told me how you felt about me or anything."

I shouldnt of said anything. I could fill the tears going down my cheeks. He got up off the couch and quickly walked over to me and wiped my eyes with his thumbs and pulled me to him tightly. "Baby girl I always thought you knew how I felt about you. When we was younger I always was with you. I couldnt stand being away from you. I thought you knew how much I loved you. It never accured to me that I needed to tell you. And well we was always having sex. No matter where it was. And to me it never was just sex. That was my way of telling you I love you. I was making love to you baby. I love you very much." I stood there quietly listen to him ramble on
explaining himself to me. I stood up on my tippy toes and kissed him shutting him up. He smiled into the kiss and lightly rubbed my back. He pulled away and looked down at me "I love you baby and I want to have a family with you and my daughter Harmony" Shocked by his words I stepped back as I started crying happy tears. "What about your divorce its not final yet" he shrugged and smiled "We will just take things like we are til its final. In a way its like our own little piece of heaven" he chuckled as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to the couch and pulled me into his lap as he sit down.

We sit there on the couch cuddling and watching horror movies. He always laughed when I screamed and hid my face into his chest. "Baby its not like there going to get you" he said in between laughter. I pushed on his chest lightly "not funny there scary" I said as I pushed out my bottom lip into a pout. He kissed me lightly and played with my hair. "Your right its not funny they could be hiding under the couch. Or even under my bed. Oh my god what if there in my
closet" I huffed and got up and started walking to the steps to go to his room when I stopped. "Ugh Jimmy its dark upstairs. Will you walk me to your room" And that was all it took for him to fall of the couch in a fit of laughter
