Big Step

Jake had finally fallen asleep and now was Kelly's chance to get out and look for David. Slipping ever so carefully out of bed she put on a blue tank top and jeans. Taking her car keys out of her purse she ran to the door. No doubt Jake would wake up soon, but she didn't care.

Kelly started the car. Her heartbeat rapid. It was only to talk to David, right... right? The lights on the street passed by quickly and left no evidence of it's existence. Each moment a stretch of time bringing Kelly into a scared little rap of a screech. She parked her car within a apartment parking lot. Elijah was standing in front one of the doors. She opened the door slipping out and slammed it shut.

“Kelly, David isn't here. I called you here so we could talk.”

Elijah sounded sympathetic and she didn't like it. She wanted no pity in any situation with David. She wanted him to be given pity.

Kelly immediately went to open the drivers door. Elijah gave a deep sigh. He knew she didn't want to do this. Who would, open up all there weaknesses to the world around you, but it was needed. Kelly knew what he was going to do next and she stopped the man before he could.

“Your not going to say anything to stop me from finding David. Even if you do bring that up.”

Before Elijah could reply properly and give Kelly a taste of his mind her phone began to ring. Perfect time. But she slightly wanted to see what Elijah reply would sound like. Would it be sad? Would it be but hurt with pride slipping in subconsciously? She held the phone to her ear.

“Kelly I'm sorry to call--”

“No David don't be. Call anytime, where are you? Are you OK? Are you drunk, wasted, injured? Answer me!”

A gasp was heard over the phone. David was utterly surprised. He could tell himself that he let a bit of pain slip through his words on accident, but he didn't think she would react that fast to it. Or was it something else, was she unsure of her answer to Jake.

“I'm at home. No I'm fine, are you OK?”

Kelly hung up before she could here him ask. She opened the door and leaped in. She gave Elijah a curt nod of telling him you lost and went into gear. That was the only thing she needed to get her fully to his home. She swung the door open and realized she had been plotting a lot more then she thought for it all swept out like the air itself. She took the initiative and knocked on his door.

It opened giving her a peek at the world of David. It was absolutely, totally, and disgustingly clean! She pushed the door open further and looked over at David. He started to back away like she was some kind of feral animal, she followed.

His hands went in front of his face slowly going back and forth as in trying to calm her and giving himself protection. The way she wrinkled her nose told him she was upset, upset with something.

“Now, now Kelly.”

She heard the fear within his voice. Kelly right then stopped. Taking notice of her fists scowl and other anger factors she relaxed her body. Right as he was relaxed she took that moment right then and pounced on the man. They tumbled like morons. Thuds like someone walking were heard before she had him. Straddling him on the floor.

He was utterly shocked. His expression seeped into her. That expression would be remembered for a long time. She would take it into thought while thinking of David. A expression that she had never seen before. A expression that she hadn't thought David owned. She only thought that maybe through the tough emotions he lost the expression.

Kelly suddenly buried her hands into his shirt. Grasping hard like she was going to fall off. He looked up to see her face and the reason for this and the expression was melted away with worry. She slammed her head down into his chest. Resting the crown of her head on his heart. His beating giving her hope that he would listen.

No matter what can happen for some reason we always fall down from our pride to comfort the ones we care for, worry for. That is exactly what David decided to do. He wrapped his arms around her back and let her cry. Even though he was the one that should be crying now. He would put his long waiting pain aside and let her be comforted by him.

Between his shirt and tears she began to speak.

“I don't know if my answer was correct.” Kelly slurred.

Her words were already so screwed with the tears, but the pain on top of it just made her quiver and David scowl. He knew he was partially to blame for her being upset. He after all yelled at her before she was proposed to. But now that wasn't the time to think about his past words it was time listen to hers.

“Kelly, it's OK.”

She cleared her throat quickly before sitting up and trying to cover her face with her wrist. David pulled the wrist from her face. Surprised he didn't expect a red beat to perform on her skin.

He couldn't help it. So he involuntarily placed his hand on her cheek. Kelly looked away scarcely. This was something lovers did and it was so surprising how it fit within the twos relationship.

“David what do you want my answer to be?” Kelly asked.

David and her looked each other directly in the eyes. Beaming colors fighting for dominance to spit the words out. They came closer mere inches away from separation. His expression softens to pure sweet devour.

“What do you want my answer to be?” David whispered to her lips.

She gave a short gasp to the breathe that tickled her lips and gave a sensuality. He slowly comes in even closer. The tip of their lips touch. He ducks towards her ear. Leaving her with a sense of want. Making her desire him, that is all. He would let her get a taste of her own medicine.

“I repeat, what do you want my answer to be?”

Kelly takes his face in her hands quickly for no escape. She felt so different right now. Like all these touches would stay amongst her skin and burn with delight. Before he could respond with anything she places her lips with his. Making the colliding mesh of a sculpture that they have been. Saying a threatening tale within just the form of clay.

He turned the tables and slammed her on her back. Slipping his tongue in her mouth. Kelly immediately tried to push him off. With her strength fading away as they got further and further into the stage of lovers she had a hard time keeping a grip on his shirt. Air seething both their voices. But Kelly had nothing else to say, this is exactly what she wanted, but she was getting married to another man. It started to sink in and she gained the power to push him off.

David fell backwards on his a*s. Looking at her bewildered. She stood up and wiped her lips of there shared fluids. With all this she could be sending the message that she didn't love him, but it simply was she didn't belong to him.

She glared at him and hid the true emotions that lay on the mere surface. This is what she was afraid of, being in the middle. Always she teetered in the middle of David's marriage. Then between “The Slasher” and David. Now it was Jake and David. She had to stop the pattern and forget the promises that were made to her.

“David, I have to tell you something!”

He looked away. Like he knew what she was going to say.

“You don't love me.”

A a snap of pain was felt through her torso. That was completely untrue and she didn't know if she wanted hims to think that or know she did love him. But letting him know that would cause them both a large amount of pain. That was the only emotion he knew nowadays so either way it was like that. Hurting a man she loved, always hurting him.

“I LOVE YOU, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU. YOU INSESITIVE B*****D!”

“Holy s**t Kelly, what is up with you?”

“What is up with me. Your the man that kissed me back knowing that I had a fiancee. Your the man that filled me with another being, your the man. It's all your fault.”
