Regrets (AC1)
It was his fault, he supposed. He had let his guard down and love had snuck in. Quietly it had taken down all the walls he had built up so carefully. But instead of the wonderful feeling he had been told to expect, there was nothing but shame. Her words rung in his ear: "You used me." Yes, he had. It had seemed so easy. Find an impersonator and get the money. Never had he thought about the hurt he would inflict. Regrets didn't work. There was no way to undo what had been done, however much he longed to.
Rain
The rain fell like curtains. Dimitri stared into the night. He took a deep breath of fresh air. How he loved the smell of rain. The huge window was opened wide and he sat, leaning against the frame, his bare feet stabilizing him on the other side. The wet pavement reflected the flickering lights of the streetlamps, shining like stars in a world turned up side down. He tilted his head slowly, his brown hair hiding his face now. There was another rainy night he remembered very well. Whatever would happen, he would always treasure the memory of this night.
Love
"Of course I do," he exclaimed while balancing a cup of scalding hot water over to the bed. "Even if you look as hideous as you do right now," he winked and ducked a pillow. With a heavy sigh she had turned around, demonstratively showing him the cold shoulder and her curvy back. He sat down, still balancing the teacup and stroked her back. "I do love you… I do, I do, I do…and I forever will, even when you have a cold." Slowly her head crowned with tousled hair turned around. "Bweally?" He nodded and offered her the cup.
