ITS YOU VS I - CHAPTER 29&30 [FINALE]

❃ You and I, forever ❃

After some minutes of sucking, his precum starts to come out and she licks it as if it was some sweets.

After licking all, he helped her back on her feet, giving her that look of uncertainty still but she smiled at him instead.

Seeing that she has made up her mind, gently and softly, he pulled down all the clothes covering her nude and she steps out of it also. Then, gently like an egg, he carries her in his arms heading to the bed.

He drops her gently on it and lay on her, making sure not to hurt her in anyway. He raised her chin up with a finger of his, locking gaze with her.

Recognizing that look he has on, a wide smile spread on her lips.

“I ended up succeeding…” She mumbles.

“On what?” He asked her.

“… making you fall for me. But it’s such a pity…I wouldn’t live to enjoy that…” She completed in her mind.

“Making you mine” She said rather to him, he gave her a smile.

“I’ll be easy with you” He said and she bobbled her head. Like that, he leans down gently attaching his lips to hers. She opens up right away, welcoming his tongue in her mouth.

They kissed slowly and tenderly and in the process, he parted her legs, entering her as calm as he could.

“Arggh…” She Mõ@?s out immediately, adjusting herself properly for him. His lips however didn’t leave hers, he kept on kissing her more and more as if there’s no tomorrow, at the same time, sliding in and out of her gently but in a way, she’ll be left craving for more and more.

Lottie flung her arms around him, holding him tightly as he f-__-ks her just as she wanted.

It may be slow but it’s sweet and undeniably, d@mn pleasurable.

She so much definitely love it.

“Umm Rooney… f-__-k!”

“Yess…yeah…”

“Hmmm…arrgh…Rooney” Her sweet voice, continually rings to his ears, prompting him to do more.

*. *. *.

Even though it wasn’t a long f-__-k as it was supposed to be, it was still enjoyable and it was one of the best she could ever have. Likewise him.

After the little f-__-k they had, he had given her a warm bath then requested for their special meal be served by the Hotel.

After eating, they didn’t bother going out, she should just rest for the day.

She suggested they watch a movie and they did though she hasn’t watched half of it before she doze off to sleep.

A WEEK LATER.

The past week has been a tough but sweer one for them.

They go on dates, dinners and do mostly what other couples do, though some times she feels some hellish pains, and her symptoms really acts out scaring Rooney out of his wits.

Virtually all her hair has fallen off also, whenever they go out, she always has something covering her head.

Even most of their dates, she falls asleep and when she does, she sleeps for a very long hours.

Within those few days, they did literally everything she wants.

Going on a dinner date.

Build a sand castle with him at the beach.

Go on a concert.

Take pictures.

Watch the stars and so on and Rooney never complained, of not doing anything with her.

In fact he loves it all, creating happy memories together with her.

He loves it.

PARK.

With a bright smile on, Lottie’s eyes keeps roving around the place filled with different people with lively aura.

“Why did you wanted to come here so badly?” Rooney asked as they walk hand in hand through the lively park.

“Why do you think? Because….” She smiles remembering one of the most important thing in her bucket list.

“Because the kids are here… because their laughters are here. If not now, when will I ever get to hear their joyful laughters again? Their exciting giggles, cute whines, adorable cries… enthusiastic plays…when will I ever… get to see that, ever again?” She said with a smile, which held a lot of bitterness within.

Rooney kept silent, unable to utter a word back to her response. He probably didn’t expect that from her.

Lottie stops staring at the children running around and playing, with a heart full of longings.

She sighs after some moments and turns to him with a wide smile.

“Husband let’s go there, I’m a little bit tired” She pointed to a bench and he smiles, walking her over there. He drops to a squat in front of her after she sat and brought out a handkerchief, wiping her sweats.

“Would you like anything?” He asked loftily.

“Hmmm….” She pondered.

“Ice cream!” She grins, after a while. He looks around, an ice cream stall is just a few metres away from them.

“Wait here I’ll get you some. Which flavor do you want?”

“Do they have that flavor I tasted from you yesterday uh?” She asked teasingly, getting him to chuckles.

“Of course not, only I have that flavor.”

“I’m really craving for it but I can get that later when we get back to the hotel, for now just get me vanilla” She said and he nods.

“I’ll be back” He peck her lips then stood up.

“Hurry up” She waves with a smile, while he smiles back heading to the ice cream stall, looking back at her occasionally as he leaves.

Lottie couldn’t help chuckling as he almost fell due to her which he looks back on. He finally got to the ice cream stall, making his purchase.

Lottie smiles out looking around everyone in the park.

Both young and old couples on a date.

Children and families on picnics.

Just what she dreams of.

She smiles widely as she watches a little boy chasing a puppy around.

“So cute…” She mutters.

However, her smile died down when the little boy suddenly fell to the ground, and as if that wasn’t enough, a bicycle was riding fast to his direction. The rider seems not to have control over it.

“No…” She mutters and before she knew it, she sprang up from where she’s sitting, rushing over to the little boy instinctively.

The next sounds being heard, is of that of crashing and collision. The bicycle fell to the ground with the rider while Lottie who had protected the boy also fell to the ground.

Gasps erupts, and people stopped to look at what happened.

“Marko!” A woman’s voice with an accent of that of Mexican rushed forward from nowhere, getting the boy from Lottie’s firm grip.

“Oh goodness Marko! Are you alright? Are you alright my son!” The woman checks the boy, then hugs him to herself.

“Mummy…” The boy cries out in her arms.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“Someone checks her! I think she’s injured!”

“Call 911!”

“Young Lady are you okay!”

Different voices came from the people surrounding them, diverting her eyes to what they’re referring to, the woman was shocked to find the lady who saved her son’s life, groaning in pain…on the ground.

“Oh! My God!” She quickly held her.

“Miss… Miss are you okay…are you_”

“My hus…band…” Was the only thing she could mutters.

Finished buying the ice cream, Rooney head back to where he left Lottie but was rather shocked not to find her in sight.

“Where is she…” He thought looking around, but then he saw a group of people gathered together, mumbling and gasping.

In alarm, the ice creams went to the ground and he rushed over there pushing them away.

“LOTTIE!!” He exclaimed bending down to her immediately, he held her in his arms, his body already shaking.

Lottie’s already blurry eyes stares at the boy she just saved.

“I’m glad… he’s safe” She mumbles, blood oozing down from her nose.

Rooney cleaned it, holding her hand.

“Lottie look at me, you’ll be fine. You’ll be taken to the hospital and you’ll be fine alright? Someone… someone please call 911” He says looking over to the people.

“I called them already. They’ll be here soon” One of the people said.

“You hear that? You’ll be fine…you will” He brought her head closer to his chest, embracing it.

“Rooney…” She mutters weakly.

“Huh?” He replied, trying to compose himself.

“If…if I die now it wouldn’t be a sad thing…cause I die to save a life… because of me, someone gets to live longer…so don’t… don’t be too sad either…” She mumbles.

“Shhh…no one is dying. You’re not dying…you can’t… you won’t” He replied with a broken voice, his eyes getting misty.

“I’m sorry…you must have h@??d me a lot right?” She asked with her voice breaking as well.

“I didn’t…i_ just stop talking please…”

“For then…and now, Rooney…I want you to know I’m really sorry…I didn’t mean any of the mean and bad things I did to you. I didn’t know how to express my feelings to you…I didn’t know how to get along with you… I wanted us to be close but because I didn’t know how to make that happen…I did mean things to you and only made you h@??d me more… I’m sorry…”

“I don’t h@?? you…yes I may have did in the past but now Lottie, i certainly don’t feel that way for you… I’m… I’m happy to have you by my side… I’m really happy to have you”

“Thank you for saying that Rooney, it really means a lot to me…”

“So Lottie, don’t even think of anything stupid…I won’t ever let you go so please… just hang in there for me alright?” He looks around.

“IS THE AMBULANCE NOT HERE YET!! MY WIFE IS IN PAINS WON’T YOU DO SOMETHING!!!” He finds himself yelling at the people standing.

“Rooney…” She adjusted in his arms slowly, to look at him.

“Don’t cry…” She wipe his tears away with her thumb.

“Actually…. actually there’s something I haven’t told you yet…” He sniffs in, while her already pale face just stares at him.

“I…I think I love you…no, I do. I really do love you Lottie, I love you so much I_” He paused choking on his tears.

“I love you Lottie, i really do. I’m sorry for saying it so late, I’m so sorry….”

“No Rooney, you may not say it but I felt it so far and i know how hard you try to made me happy during those hard hurtful moment I was in. I know everything… I’m the one sorry, for doing this you, for leaving you so soon like this, will you forgive me… Rooney?” She said with a weak, cracking voice.

Rooney could do nothing but only sobs, holding unto her hand tightly.

“I thought my husband was only weakling, but he turns out to be a crybaby too…” She let out a feeble, sad smile.

“Can you just not leave me now… even if for a month, no, a few weeks is okay… can’t you just stay with me until then,… I’m… I’m not ready to let you go yet. I ain’t prepared to Lottie… please stay with me for some time more… please I love you… please…”

“Rooney…” She calls with a breaking voice.

“Just please….”

“I’m tired now Rooney…I want to rest… please let me…” She whimpers painfully.

He sobs more.

“Can you smile one last time for me? I don’t want my last memories of you, to be such a bitter heartbreaking one… please send me off… nicely, Rooney”

He wipes his tears and with great difficulty, his lips spread in a radiant smile.

She managed to smile back also at him.

“Is this okay for you?” He asked and she nods. She brought her palm forward to touch his face.

“I love you so much…My husband” She said and with that, her hand fall back on the ground, with her eyes closing.

Her breath stopped and it was like the time stopped for Rooney.

She gave up the ghost.

He hugs her lifeless body to himself, with more tears rushing down his eyes.

“I love you too…My wife”

The people surrounding them, could only shake their heads, sympathizing.

~EPILOGUE~

~FOUR YEARS LATER~

The bartender mixed up two different alcohols then drops it in front of a fine man dressed up corporately.

At first glance, you could tell he’s a loner from the crestfallen expression he has on to how he’s alone, drinking, not interacting with anyone or giving attention to things happening around him.

Yes, you’re right. It’s no other than Rooney.

Drinking at the bar after coming back from work has been his daily routine for the past four years, his wife died. It was like the excitement in his life died along her.

After her funeral was done then, he had relocated to Germany, taking over one of his father’s company there.

Day and night he worked and worked to keep himself busy. If he doesn’t work, then either he’s at the bar drinking or at the park, watching people doing different activities, especially the kids.

He gave no woman a chance in his life so does he stopped being a f-__-k boy. Not only that, he literally shut everyone out of his life turning him more into a loner.

More than imagined, Lottie’s death seem to take a huge toll on him.

“I’m a runaway” He suddenly heard someone say beside him. Turning his head to where the voice came from, sat a pretty average woman with pretty eyes, a cigarette in her finger which she was smoking.

“I loved him for six years but it turned out he was only with me just to be closer with my elder brother” she added, Rooney raised a brow at her.

“He only dated me as a camouflage, the person he turns out to truly love was my brother. My married brother, crazy right?” She grins.

“My family is super rich you know, we have a family business also. Among all my siblings I’m the most useless one. I’m not good at anything neither can I do anything. The only thing I could be proud of was him, he was the perfect match for me, my father liked him also. I live in a family house together with my siblings. To cut the long story short, a day before my wedding, I caught my fiance with my elder brother at the Apex. It was so hot. d@mn hot” she chuckles.

“I didn’t know what to do. Should I just ki|| him, should I cast them…what revenge would be perfect for him…I thought and thought and in the end I ended up running away on my wedding day…like a coward. Since then, I exhibited the habit of smoking… just to get distracted” she finished with a smile.

“Why are you telling me this? I didn’t asked” Rooney replied.

“Because everyone has a story and that’s my pathetic life story ” she said simply with a smile. Rooney looks away, drinking.

“You’re such a fine man, Tell me, why do you have such a sad face on, what is your story uh?” She asked with a carefree smile but he didn’t answer.

“I’ve been noticing you for some weeks now…. you’re always alone drinking…by this time till late. I’m worried at this rate you gonna get bad stomach”

“And you’re gonna get bad lungs” He replied, she chuckled dropping the cigarette.

“Why are you so sad…I want to know” She requested.

“Because…I miss her” He said after a short moment of silence.

“I miss my wife” He added slowly.

“Was it divorce…or death?” She asked keenly.

“The latter. It’s been four years already”

“Hmm… truly sad” She agreed.

“But don’t you think it’s high time you stopped thinking about her like this. She isn’t gonna like seeing you dwell yourself in alcohol and pains miserably because of her I’m sure. She’s probably rolling in her grave because of you now” She said a little bit harsh.

“Don’t talk if you don’t know anything. The regrets of not telling her how much I love her. The regrets of not treating her well. The regrets of not being the best husband…do not utter a word, if you don’t know anything” He glare hard at her.

“So, you think ki||ing yourself slowly like this would solve anything? Rooney…” She calls surprising him.

Of course she made her findings about him, ever since she he piqued her interest.

Even though she found his name out from the bartender.

“How…did you know my name?” Instead of answering, she brought her palms to his face cupping it. Their eyes locking.

“Just consider everything that happened a dream. A beautiful sad dream and now, it’s time to wake up. Wake up now… Rooney” She said loftily staring deeply at him.

“Lottie?” He mutters.

“Lottie…is that…you?” He asked slowly, his eyes getting soaked already.

She smiles brightly at him.

“No, it’s me Faye…I am Faye” She said to him.

“Faye?” He repeated and she nods in smiles.

“How about you forget about your painful dream, and make a reality with me? I promise to give you a beautiful happy reality… would you like to?” She asked while he only stares at her. Probably in confusion. However to his surprise, she leans forward and gave him a short peck on the lips.

“I think we’ll make the real perfect one. I can feel it. Let me heal you, while you heal me at the same time. Let’s try to make it work… just give me a try, and I’ll make it worth it.” She wraps her arms around him hugging him now.

“Let’s stop regretting now, let’s let the past go now… let’s wake up from our painful dream and let’s make a happy reality for ourselves. You and I…FOR EVER.” She said slowly over his shoulder, her words somehow and strangely comforting him.

She’s just a stranger but strangely he felt connected to her just by her words alone.

Strangely, he doesn’t wanna miss out this sudden chance.

He wants to embrace this… abrupt warm comfort.

Slowly, his arms went up and enwrap her also, taking in the solace he has long longed for.

A warm smile spread on her lips as she feels the tranquility, she has long longed for also.

Their hearts may be broken because of their respective partners, but amidst all, they found each other and they found the comfort they’ve always wanted.

“Now… it’s US vs the challenges life throws at us. It’s US vs our bitter DREAMS. Together, let’s make a happy reality. Let’s do that.”

“Our happy reality., let’s make a perfect… Ending”

~THE END~
