"I cannot believe this is our last night together," Kevin whispered in Skylar's ear as they sat on his deck watching the waves crash along the shore. Skylar was sitting on Kevin's lap as he rubbed the aloe lotion on her sunburned back. After three days of sheer pain the sunburn had loosened up and was starting to peel. As Kevin's hands worked the lotion in circles along her back his lips brushed along her shoulders and as he worked his way up to her neck his lips paused on the back of her neck and he flicked his tongue, concentrating on the nape of her neck. He smiled as he heard Skylar whimper and his hands reached to the front of her chest. He lightly ran his hands over the flimsy blouse she was wearing. Skylar swung her legs around so that she was facing Kevin and brought her lips to meet his. Her hands reached for his shirt and as she started to lift it over his head Kevin stopped kissing her and looked at her. "Skylar, as much as I want to make love to you, we can't. You can't tell me your true feelings and I am stifling mine." His green eyes were soft and sad and his voice quiet.
"I know Kevin, I know," Skylar ran her hands through his dark hair and kissed him. "How about you and I go and crawl into bed and fall asleep watching the Tonight Show or something?"
"That sounds perfect," Kevin lifted Skylar up and off of him and the two walked hand in hand into his house.

"She wanted to make love tonight, our last night, and it broke my heart to tell her no. It's just how can I possibly make love to her without knowing her true feelings. I know that I love her but I need to hear her tell me her feelings. I want our first time to be amazing, I want to welcome her home with soft lighting and wonderful smells wafting from the kitchen where on the stove there is the dinner I have cooked. I want rose petals leading the way to the bathroom where there is a bubble bath and Elton John's music waiting for her. I want to dry her off, kissing every inch of her body and then pick her up and lie her on the bed and spend the night worshipping her body, and as I start to enter her I want to hear her angelic voice tell me she loves me. If it can't be like that then I will wait until it can be. I am sitting on the dock writing this and I swear that I can smell her beautiful scent on the wind as it passes under my nose. I can feel the heat from her body from the stars as they light the sky. I am devestated knowing that tomorrow at this time I will be alone in my bed, knowing that I will not be able to feel her silky hair brush my shoulders, not be able to see her smile or the way she watches my lips when I speak. Mostly though I am worried that if I leave her alone for three months that she will forget how right our bodies feel in each other's arms, how it feels like our bodies become one when our lips touch. How do I leave this woman alone......

"Well you guys have a great tour. AJ don't shop too much without me, Nick don't forget that I still need to kick your ass at Crash Bandicoot, " Skylar was saying goodbye to the guys at the airport. She hugged them and waved as they left her and Kevin to say their goodbyes. She studied his beautiful face and smiled "What am I going to do without you for three months?"
Kevin felt the tears forming in his eyes and shrugged "God I don't want you to leave" he pulled her in close and smiled as her hair fell on his shoulders. He could feel the sobs that were wracking her body and he soon gave into the tears also.
"Flight 124 to Ottawa now boarding at Gate 34," the loud speaker announced, interrupting the couple.
"Well that's me," Skylar broke away from Kevin and reached to brush the tears that were staining his face. "I will call you when I get in." She brought her lips onto his and kissed him deeply.
"Skylar, I will miss you, but promise me that when the tour finishes you will come home with me to Kentucky and meet my family...will you?" Kevin asked softly.
"I would do anything for you" Skylar kissed him one last time and walked away, not looking back.
Kevin's chest felt like a ton of bricks had been dropped on it as he watched the woman he loved walk out of his life. He walked over to the window and pressed his hand to the glass, watching as the plane took off. He watched it until was out of sight and then he left.

"Skylar took her hand away from the window where she had it pressed and wiped the tears from her eyes. She looked down at the book Kevin had given her at the house before the left. She opened it up and smiled when she saw his beautiful writing.
Skylar,
This past week has been magical. Every night as you slept I crawled out of bed and watched you sleep. Do you know that you smile in your sleep. I only hope that you were dreaming of me as you smiled. Do you also know that you reach for me when you sleep. I can only pray that you will always reach for me. Skylar words cannot even express how much you have changed my life. From your beautiful and passionate words you write me, to the way you scrunch your nose, to how right it feels to have you in my arms. You are the miracle I have waited my entire life for. I am offering you my love and my heart and I can only hope that you will offer yours to me in return. I am giving you three months to search your soul and when I return I hope that you will have made peace with your feelings for me...Till the day when I can kiss your sweet lips and make love to you body and soul I remain yours...
Forever In Love with You
Kevin
