Love for the Librarian

Again at five I get up and dress up. Hell, I might as well look good for my execution. I picked a blue dress today with the same belt and black flats. I decided to skip the heels today. I also decided to keep my hair down. When I woke up Grace she decided that she wanted to look the same. I oblige her by getting her dress from the closet that matches mine. She runs to the bathroom putting it on.

When she is all ready we head to the library. I think we are a bit early but I want to be there before him. I must have had the same thought as him because he was there before me. With a cute little boy dressed in a pair of jeans and an Avengers shirt. He has dark hair and has a face a lot like Brittney’s. He is holding Dylan’s hand looking really nervous. I guess he knows he is meeting his sister today.

I smile at Dylan and Riley as we approach. Grace rips out of my hand and runs up to Dylan. “Daddy.” She jumps up and he catches her in a hug.

“Hey sweety, This is your big brother Riley.” He sets her down next to the little boy. Of course Grace wastes no time in giving him a hug. He looks shocked, but then he smiles. “Alright, you two are going to go to the children’s section with Aunt Polly, while I talk to mommy ok.”

They both nod and then run to the children’s section. “I have Polly waiting there for them. The office is clear so we can talk.” His face is neutral. At least it isn’t pissed like I thought it would be.

“Lead the way.” I motion my hand to indicate that he should go first. I try to keep my voice even. I do not want to break down in front of him.

Once we are in the office, I turn when he closes the door and then I hear the lock click. When I look at him he has his hand resting on the door and his head bowed. He is quiet for a minute. Then he turns and quicker than I can think he has my face in his hands and his mouth on mine. He pulls back. “I am still so mad at you.” He kisses me again. “Exceedingly pissed.” He kisses me again. I have my hands on his hips. I am so happy that I can’t express any words. “You are going to make up for this for a long time.” He kisses me again. The pattern keeps repeating he says he’s pissed in one form or another and then kisses me again.

Finally he pulls back. “I have missed you so fucking much. I love you. I know that we can get past this. Don’t you ever lie to me again. You hear me.” He looks me right in the eyes.

“I won’t, I really want to make this work with us. Not just for Grace. I want to be with you. Dylan I missed you so much. I love you.” I curl my head into his chest. He wraps his arms around me and holds me tight.

“I am not letting you go again. You are stuck with me for the rest of your life, you hear me.” It is a statement not a question. “I was up all night trying to figure out everything. All I could think was that I can’t lose you. I know we have both screwed some things up, but we need to know that we are meant to be together. You are stuck with me.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I think you got that wrong.” He pulls me back with a little bit of panic on his face. “You are stuck with me.” I smile at him.
