Trish stood there for some moments not knowing what to say

"Look, AJ, it has been a long day, it is better you leave and..."

"Don't run away, please. I know all about that friends stuff, man I've played that game too many fucking times, but I know, I can fell it, that in your eyes, there is not space for friendship, all I can see is love, true love, tell me if I'm wrong, but I know I ain't"

"Oh, you know it all don't you?, you saw me a couple of times, helped me, for what I'm thankful, but what the hell you know about me?" she said as she started walking around the room

"I know what I fell, and I know I just have to give it a try."

"Sometimes you just gotta forget about what your heart tells you, there is no place in this world for people like that"

"Leticia, listen...", he said  as he took her arm "What are you scared of?  You scared of this being real? I don't understand you.."

"Man stop," She said as she covered her ears "I don't wanna hear it"

"Man, you stubborn chick" he said losing up a little

"I'M NOT STUBBORN!! " she yelled

"Sorry but you are, but I just like you that way, please give me a chance, to prove we can make something out of this"

Trish stood there for a while.

"Come here" AJ said as he hold her near and they started kissing on her bed

Trish then let herself fall into that embrace, as tears of frustration came running down her face.

"Why are you crying?" he said laying on top of her

"Coz of you, if you just knew how many times I just wanted to, run to you, but this ain't right, I just can't"

"Girl, open your heart, open your heart to love, and something that fells so good can't be wrong" He said as he deepened his kiss.

It was as if he had no control of his hands as he went to discover every inch of her body, falling to total ecstasy at the moment they were both naked and their skins, as well as souls, softly met, in a long embrace, and both found the peace they were looking for in each other arms as  another day raised, and the past was left behind.

"Thank you" she whispered as they were there on each other arms

"No, thank you , for appearing in my life" he said as he kissed her forehead as with a smile on her lips she closed her eyes.

It was 11 am, and after she slept for a couple of hours Linda woke up and took a shower.
She had promise herself she wasn't going to share no more tears.

"Hey Alicia how are you today?" she asked as she went to the kitchen to get some breakfast

"Well, I'm ok now I guess thanks for being there for me Linda"

"No problem, that guy is just a big asshole bu I'll do all that possible to put him away from you"

"Thank you, look Ryan called he is coming her in 10 minutes, you know he really likes you, you should give him a chance"

"Yeah, I guess I'll do that"

"I'll get dress, let me know when he arrives"

"K"

***********************************************
AJ woke up with the sound of loud music, as he heard someone singing a soft melody.

I don’t know where to find you
I don’t know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin
Within my heart and my soul
I wait for you
Adagio

AJ got up, and just looked at Trish who was swinging around singing that gentle melody, it was as if that sound had just came down from heaven.

All of these nights without you
All of my dreams surround you
I see and I touch your face
I fall into your embrace
When the time is right, I know
You'll be in my arms
Adagio

She hadn't seen that he was awake yet, and kept going as AJ sorved every single word that came from her mouth

I close my eyes and I find a way
No need for me to pray
I've walked so far
I've fought so hard
Nothing more to explain
I know all that remains
Is a piano that plays

If you know where to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you'll hear my heart
That you'll give your life
Forever you'll stay

Don't let this light fade away
No No No No No
Don't let me run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you believe, make me believe
You won't let go
 

The music went off and after that last part she just felt into the little couch in her room, as she saw AJ there with his mouth wide open.

"Shit I guess I got carry away, sorry if I wake you up"

"Wow, I'm out of words what was that?"

"Oh, just a little something," she smiled

"That was just amazing, I bet you woke up the all fucking hotel, but that was just wow unbelievable"

"Yeah, I love the music, that woman has great songs" she said talking about Lara Fabian

"No, you were just man, singing with your soul, and like ..."

"Loose it up Alex, man it was just me, just me"

"Yeah I see that now" he said as he went closer to her "Thank you for letting me go in"

"No thank you for open my heart" she said as he hold her on his arms "But Alexander, please.." she said as she looked in his eyes

"Don't hurt me, I don't think I can take that again"

"Don't worry honey, everything is gonna be ok" he said as he took her hair out of her face, and held her even closer.

"I'll make it all ok" he added

*************************************************************

"Hey Linda, how are you today?" Ryan asked as he stepped inside

"I'm ok"

"Oh, that's great I missed you" he said as he gave her a kiss

Alicia came behind them.

"I guess I'll leave you two alone" she said as she gave Ryan a look.

"Where are you going? " Linda asked

"Get some air I need it"
 

Alicia left and closed the door behind her

"So.." Ryan said as he sat on the couch

"Well, so.."

"Come here" he said as he grabbed her arm and he started kissing her, soon enough she felt his hands under her shirt, and down her pants.

"Ryan.. common.. let's talk"

"Linda, I waited for so long for this moment"

"No Ryan, she cried out"

"Common"

"No" she said as she set herself free

"It's better you leave now"

"What? what Have I done? It's me isn't it? with that other jerk you had no problems laying down with him, but with me... " he said clearly upset

"Just leave" she said as she opened the door

"Fine I'll leave" he said as got his jacket "You are so gonna regret this"
