Pretty Girls Hide Pain So Deep Inside

Hope looked up at him. A nostalgic feeling had indulged itself onto both of them, giving a feeling that this should have been for a long time. His arms were tightly wrapped around her shoulders, hers, clinging to his hard muscular chest, and her head on his shoulder. Basking in each other’s ambiance, creating each other’s warmth. He looked down at her, his eyes dulled by the darkness of the room. He gave her that quirky smile of his. Caressing her freckled cheek, he lifted her chin, their noses almost touching. She could feel the warmth of his breath brushing the top of her lip. She stared back into the icy blueness of his eyes and moved up the last half inch so their lips could touch. Softly. Lovingly. That kiss; hard, but soft; fiery but cool; a split second but also forever.

- Have I said already that I've missed you? - Luke said with a goofy smile on his face.

- It wouldn't hurt if you said it again. - Hope said trough a chuckle.

Luke licked his lips.

- I've missed you so damn much. - Luke said, leaving hard kisses on her neck in-between his words.

A soft moan escaped Hope's lips. Luke smiled mischievously. His big and strong hands cupped her behind. His lips were now on hers, kissing them roughly, passionately. Without any trouble, he picked her up from the ground and she wraped her legs around his waist. The towel that she had wraped around her body had gotten lose and fell to the ground. While his lips kissed her lips, her neck, her chest, he carefully carried her to the the master bedroom. Once there, he gently placed her on the bed. He took of his shirt and got on the bed as well. He was hoovering above her. He put his hand on her cheek and gently caressed her lips with his. As their kiss got more passionate, his hand started moving up her inner tigh.

- Wait. - Hope suddenly said before gently pushing him off her. - I'm sorry, I-I can't.

Her eyes started filling up with tears. She quickly grabed the sheets and covered her exposed body.

- No, it was my fault... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... - He didn't finish, but she understood.

Luke got off the bed and put his shirt back on.

- Can I? - He quietly asked her, pointing at the bed.

She nodded. He took a seat hext to her on the bed. Hope's hands were tightly holding the sheets over her body.

- We, um... We need to talk about what happened. - Hope quietly said, bitting her bottom lip afterwards.

- Yeah... - Luke breathed out.

They weren't looking at each other.

- We shouldn't've let that happen. I didn't...I don't... - Hope's voice was breaking.

He gently took her hand into his.

- I know. - He placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand. - I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...

Hope broke down. Small tiny crystal beads creeped out of her eyes, one after another. Soon it turned into a flowing stream of sorrow that ran down her face and dripped from her chin onto the sheets.

Luke scooted closer to her and in a matter of seconds had his arms around her body. He was pulling her closer to him, and she didn't resist. Her head was on his chest, wetting his shirt.

- I don't wanna be like her. - Hope said into his chest, tears still falling down her cheeks.

- I know, baby, I know... - Luke held her tighter. - And I promise I'm not gonna let that happen. We'll be more careful, I promise.

He was leaving soft kisses at the top of her head.

A while after, Hope stopped crying. She was about to wipe her tear stained cheeks, but Luke stopped her and did it himself.

They were looking into each other's eyes while he put a stray curl behind her ear. The gaze they had on each other was intense, but somehow it was still warm and loving.

- I love you. - He whispered to her.

- I love you too.

Now, this was not the first time they had said that to each other, but everytime that those words left their mouths the feeling was the same and it wasn't fading. If it wasn't clear before, it is now; this wasn't just a fling, this was real.
