A Moment in Time
Chapter 1
Their bodies were only pressed together for seconds, but in those seconds, there was a lifetime. There were possibilities. There were unspoken feelings, emotions boiling to be released. In the few seconds her arms draped over his shoulders and the smell of her hair filled his nostrils, he could see what life could be. The feel of her body, the softness of her touch, the heat of her breath as it blew across his neck…he could have it all. He could have happiness and look forward to a future. All he needed to do was lift his arms, to wrap them around her. He could reciprocate the embrace, and if he did, he would never let go. Not her, not ever her.
But…
He couldn't.
God, how he wanted to…
How he wanted to bury his face into the curve of her neck, to shower her with kisses and tender words. How he wanted for their bodies to join and the embrace never to end.
But….
It was not meant to be.
She needed better he told himself. She needed more than an old, broken down, manipulative asshole.
She needed better than him.
But…
The smell of her hair, the softness of her touch…her need as she pressed herself into him.
He couldn't. Oh, how he wanted to.
But, it was not meant to be.
Try as he may to will himself to move, to wrap her in his arms.
Try as he may…
He just couldn't.
He would not do that to her, not her…not ever to her.
A/N: Just a bit of random nonsense I wrote while bored at school. Hope it doesn't blow too badly. Could be a one shot…could be more. I'll let you decide. Based on Cameron's hug at the end of Words and Deeds.
