I think thats our que to um…get a cold drink. Millie said softly, slowly removing her hand from my top and pushing herself up to let me get up.

We seemed to sit there for a moment, calming our beating hearts and letting our minds catch up with our throbbing bodies. I looked at Millie, she was holding onto the edge of the bed and staring at the floor. Her silence was unnerving me slightly so I shuffled over and covered one of her hands with my own. Millie looked at our hands intertwining around each other and then looked up to meet my eyes. I smiled, unsure as to what she was thinking.

Trix, theres something I want to ask you.she said quietly, averting her eyes again.

I gave her hand a squeeze, shuffling that little bit closer so any distance between us disappeared.

You can ask me anything Mill.

I could see her smile, but it wasn’t a smile filled with joy and happiness more with uncertainty and nervousness. She took a deep breath and pulled our joined hands onto her lap, looking at them as if they were a piece of art.

You know I have to go back to LA at some point, well that point is next week. I have some meetings that I have to attend and I really cant afford to miss them.

Thats ok, I understand. I said, unsure as to where this was going.

Millie looked up then, she seemed to be battling with something in her mind. I really wish she would just say it, the tension was killing me.

Trix, I know this is a really big thing to ask and I cant actually believe Im going to say it because weve only known each other for a few weeks and its just crazy. she paused, composing herself. But I really like you and I want to be with you, I just don’t want to go home and never see you again.

Well keep in touch. I said weakly, only hearing how lame those words sounded after they left my lips.
