He knew nothing would ever come of them again but it didn't keep him from wishing there could have been. He had missed her being his all these years but the time apart was needed. He was far too closed off for her, to be able to make her happy; to be able to protect her. Now, time had passed and he was ready. He knew he was strong enough now, that he could worth her time and her heart but she was someone else's now and he wouldn't step in between her and another. As long as she was happy, that was in the end all that mattered to him. He could feel her clinging to him and as much as he hadn't wanted to move, he knew they needed to. She wouldn't be safe until whoever was doing this was behind bars or dead. Feeling her hesitate he looked down as she stepped in front him, about to ask her what was wrong. He hadn't the chance as she cupped his face in her fingers, he found himself freezing and that second felt like an eternity as he looked into her eyes. In that half a heart beat he both screamed internally all that he felt and for her to not to what his lips tingled that she would do. His skin prickling beneath her touch and his breath stopping as he felt her lips to his. She was sweeter than he had remembered as his fingers curled against her hip, drawing her closer. A soft pulse of his lips against her, nearly falling into the moment and loosing himself before he found his breath again and his senses. Reaching up he pressed his hands over her own as his lips peeled away from hers. He couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as a smile broke onto his face for a moment, resting his head to hers. Running his tongue along his lips as he tasted her there still. Taking a slow breath as he tried to calm himself before he spoke. [color=82ca9d]"Ashley, I am only going to say this once. I still love you, I always will. Everything I have done since High School is to become the man you deserve. Someone that can protect you and keep you safe, that can make you happy. I took too long and now you are someone else's. I wouldn't be worth your time if I stepped between you and him; no matter how desperately I want to. All I can do is protect you now, and I will,"[/color] he said as he gazed into her eyes, his hands slowly pulling hers away from him. He didn't want to step back but he had to before he lost himself in the moment. Pulling her hands up to his lips he kissed them softly before letting them go. [color=82ca9d]"If you're ever free I will be by your side within a New York minute."[/color] Looking away as his phone rang, blinking a few times he got himself in check before pulling it out and answering it once he saw he had missed some thing's from earlier but that it was Kai currently calling. Placing the phone to his ear he looked at Ashley and reached out to tuck a piece of hair behind her ear. [color=82ca9d]"Hey Kai, what's up?"[/color] [hr][hr][center][h2][b][color=a187be]Adelaide Grimaldi[/color][/b][/h2] [img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/c2c7c5c06e92d6d2c1e684676d59e435/tumblr_inline_nw2c4rNT5s1qlt39u_500.gif[/img][hr][b]Location:[/b] Ashley's Hotel [/center][hr] Adelaide reached up and pushed her hair out of her face in worry as Kai wrapped his arm around her and lead her out of the hotel. Where was Ashley. She didn't know what to say and when Kai told her that Trent was dead as well she felt her heart sink into the pit of her stomach. She felt her body shaking as she leaned against him, resting her head against his chest while he called Marc. Looking up slowly as he took her hand and squeezed it she shook her head quickly. [color=a187be]"Don't even think that!"[/color] she said as her eyes welled up. He could be right but she refused to think about it. Ashley probably just wanted to be left alone, she probably was just held up somewhere else and didn't want people to question her. She just needed time to herself and didn't want to be where the paparazzi probably thought she was. For all she knew Ashley had decided to check into another hotel instead of this one just to be safe. Under a name and she had just meant she was at a hotel and forgot to tell Kai she switched hotels when he spoke with her. [color=a187be]"Maybe she changed hotels? For all we know she took a cab and was staying just down the hall from us last night,"[/color] she said as she looked up at Kai, trying to convince herself just as much as she was trying to convince him.
