Now that DB is back in my life things have become a bit different. He's continued to threaten to leave me, but with less vigor than before. I forget if it was the first time we were together or perhaps the second. I was on top of him, perhaps partially clothed, kissing him like my life depended on it. Like I knew he was going to leave and I had to make sure he knew what a bad idea it would be. Like my kisses could show him how I felt and put everything on the table without words.
We talked between deep kisses and I don't remember how it happened but he told me "say it." I looked at him surprised and only somewhat confused. "Say it," he said again. I looked deep into his eyes and I knew what he wanted.
But I couldn't do it. I shook my head and told him "No."
"Say it" he repeated.
"No!" I told him no emphatically, "I won't say it! It serves no purpose. It doesn't matter. It doesn't change anything."
Derek stared at me, not saying anything, his face impassive. "Say it." He said, yet again.
I felt the tears starting to well in my eyes. "Why would you make me say it? It will only make you leaving me hurt so much more." I paused for a moment and said "You know, fine.... I love you." And then I felt the tears spill down my cheeks.
"I love you, too" He whispered and kissed me again.
