Chapter 19: I Just Needed To See You
I walked up to Cheyenne's front door. I figured it was time we settle our differences, I was done being stubborn and I missed her, the way her hair always smelled, the smile she got when I would surprise her, and just that feeling I used to get being around her. I saw her car parked in her dad's driveway, and it didn't really hurt that Diablo had texted me saying she dropped by for the weekend. I knocked softly and Madeline answered with that smile I'd always known her for.
"Bonjour!" She cooed with a tight embrace. "Je ne t'ai pas vu par ici depuis des lustres! J'ai commencé à penser que vous aviez oublié sur nous les petites gens (I haven't seen you over here in ages! I started to think you'd forgotten about us little people)."
"Non, non, j'ai juste Ă©tĂ© un peu occupĂ© avec la vie, je suppose que vous pouvez dire. Je suis dĂ©solĂ© (No, no, I've just been a little busy with life I guess you can say. I'm sorry)." I smiled down on her, she was getting thicker, but not like normal and she had a different look about her i couldn't quite place.Â
"Here to see Diablo?" Madeline stepped aside and made room for me to come in.
"No actually, I'm here for Cheyenne." Her smile faded a little and came back, less bright I should add though. "Is something wrong?"
"No. I justâ nevermind, she's in her room." She walked off into the kitchen in a rush. I frowned and headed down the steps to Chey's bedroom door. I heard giggles but no other voice and summed it up to her being on the phone or the computer.
"Hello." I peeked into the room to see her laid out in her bed holding her phone to her face. She shot up and stared in my direction.
"Cara, can I call you back and talk about this later?" She waited for Cara's response and then hung up with a small sigh. "Yeah?"
"I just wanted to talk to you, you know, see you and see how you're doing." I knew as soon as it came out, it was stupid to say.Â
"See how I'm doing," her eyes looked me over skeptically, "uh-huh, whatever. What do you really want Larry?" I dug in my pocket and felt the ring slip through my fingers.
"I miss you Cheyenne." I just came out with no hesitation.
"Yeah I bet. You're probably having the time of your life. It's been damn near 3 months and all of a sudden you miss me and decide to come to my house. I bet." She laid back down in the bed and began playing with her hands. I couldn't help but stare at the spot on her finger and wishing his ring in my pocket was there instead. I walked up to her bed and climbed in, ignoring the glare she shot at me. "Larry get out of my bed." But her voice was barely above a whisper.
"If I apologize to you, will you at least talk to me like we used to?" My hands found their way onto the warm skin of her arms.
"Why, just so you can hurt me again. All we ever did was fuss, have sex, break up, and do it all over again with the occasional week of peace here and there." She turned away from me, her hair bunched up under her shoulder now.
"I know, and I know how much an ass I can sometimes but that don't mean I can't miss you and you can't miss me. And it's no point in pretending like you don't miss me because I know for fact you do."
"Has Lau been running his mouth again?" She groaned angrily, now her face was in mine and I just smiled, touching her cheek.
"No, I was only assuming, but you just confirmed my assumptions." Chey's eyes rolled to the back of her head and then returned to normal, a smile now appearing on her face, the smile I always loved to see. "So you still mad with me?"
"No, it's not easy ever staying mad with you." Her hands entwined with mine and we laid there smiling at each other like dummies. "You do know I'm gonna always love you right?" Her eyes softened up and met mine peacefully.
"Yeah, people always say things like that, but then things happen and that becomes old story." She knew what I meant, and she knew I didn't really doubt her, it was just how we operated. We functioned on dysfunction, so when I felt her snuggle up closer to me and her arms wrap around my side as she held me, it didn't feel like we'd broken up months ago, let alone an ugly break up at that. "But I will love you always too babe." I kissed the top of her head and held her closer to me, her lips grazing the skin of my neck, and her breathe warming the spot where she knew drove me crazy. Her hair smelled like strawberries and honey and I found myself taking in deep breathes and caressing her head with me hands and leaving kisses to her temples every now and again.
We laid in that spot for hours until we fell asleep. When we woke up, it was after 2 in the morning and everyone was out cold in their rooms. Cheyenne only stirred to move into another position, one I liked a lot, which was on top of me. Her hair stood up messily all oner her head where she'd wallowed all afternoon in her sleep. I gripped her waist and smiled up at her before she leaned over and kissed me softly. Her hands pulled at my twists and slid down the length of my torso, stopping at the top of my jeans. She shook her head knowing they were on backwards, and if you really knew Chey, you'd know when she wants, she can be the laziest person to walk the earth. I knew right then, that's how she felt because as quick as things began to get a little heated, they simmered back down to us just staring at the ceiling with unspoken thoughts whirling around us. Cheyenne murmured something under her breathe and kissed me on the cheek before getting up and walking into her bathroom. I still lay there, my arms providing a resting place for my head, I knew it was way too soon to ask her back out, and Laurent had been informing me of this Langston guy. I wasn't worried about him, he wasn't a threat, but I still wanted him to know Cheyenne was mine, and she would always be mine no matter what ever happened between us. My eyes grew heavy but I heard Chey's bathroom door opening up again, what I didn't expect was to feel her skin on mine, just skin. Nothing else. I immediately woke up, yanked my jeans to the floor and finished what Cheyenne so pleasantly started.
