Luis held Sheridan tight against him. He felt her soft sobs against his heart, and her heavy breathing began to make his eyes water. He hated seeing her hurt. He hated seeing her in this emotional reck. She was just there, totally helpless which made him feel helpless. “Sheridan, calm down.” He whispered into her hair. He closed his eyes as he savoured the smell of her hair and the warmth of her body against his.
“Luis,” Sheridan tried, “don’t leave me tonight, please.” Luis was surprised by this. Sheridan knew that he was, she looked in his eyes and was lost. She just forgot about the ‘luis imposter’ or what she saw and heard at the wharf. All she knew was that she wanted to be with Luis right now. “I’m sorry for earlier…I need you here luis.” She sighed warmly into his chest.
“Sheridan, do you know why I came here?” He continued to stroke her back.
“No…but I’m so glad you did, Luis…I would be dead if you werne’t here.” Sheridan began crying harder upon saying the word, ‘death’.
“I came here for you. I came here because I wanted to tell you something.” Luis smiled halfly.
“Yeah?” Sheridan sniffed.
“I really care about you Sheridan…see…I don’t know why you left Harmony…but, Sheridan…I really like you…I like like you a LOT…”
“You do?” Sheridan tried to smile.
“I do. This feeling I have for you is just so – undescribeable! It’s this happy tingle I get whenever I’m with or near you.”
“I know what you mean,” Her eyes glistened, “I’m feeling it now.”
“The only word…the simple word to describe it is…”
They smiled knowingly and in unison said, “love.”
“I think I love you Luis…and…it hurt me…when…my love for you was the reason I left harmony. It as unrequited.” Sheridan began to cry again.
“It wasn’t…it’s not…it isn’t!” Luis retorted. He pulled her close to him, “I love you, Sheridan. I do. As much as I deny it aloud, inside I’ll always feel it.” Luis looked Sheridan in the eyes. She knew, she just knew that he wasn’t lying or making it up. Looking into his eyes, she saw his soul that was telling her every truth and every piece of love inside him. Happiness and love jolted through her body as she grinned, still sniffling.
“Luis…” She grinned and traced his lips, “I want to kiss you.”
Luis smiled back as he pulled Sheridan nearer to him. He slowly tilted his face down to meet hers. He smiled and looked her into the eyes lovingly, “I’d be happy to kiss you.” Sheridan closed the space between their waiting lips. As they touched it sent jolts of love throughout their bodies. Sheridan naturally brought her arms and wrapped them tightly around Luis as she began kissing him harder. Luis pulled her in by the waist and held her in a firm grip. He slowly taped her lips with his tongue requesting entry. She opened her mouth slightly and their tongues met making them both smile. “I love you so much, Sheridan…it’s just so nice to be able to admit it…it’s nice to say it.” He breathed on her lips.
“Ummm” she smiled, “It’s nice to be loved…for once. I’ve fallen in love with you…I’d fallen in love with you a long time ago, Luis. I’ve always known that you and I’d one day be together…it was so undeniable…but I tried to deny it, I did. It could never work – I loved you much too mcuh for that.” Luis continued to kiss her lips untill his lips traveled down her face to her neck. He kissed her soft skin and tasted it. She brought his lips back up to meet hers as she whispered quietly, “I want to show you my love Luis…”
“What?” Luis asked pulling back an inch.
“Make love to me, Luis…please…I want you…”
“I want you too Sheridan…so much…but…”
“I’m ready…if you are” Sheridan interupted.
“I’ll always be ready for you Sheridan.”
“I really love you Luis. You’re so considerate…you’re so compassionate…you’re the most wonderful man in this world.” She kissed his lips softly.
“You are the most beautiful…the most stubborn…the most lively, wonderful woman in this universe. You have the greatest compassion, you’re so loving to everyone…and kind…oh Sheridan…everything about you makes me love you more and more.”
“I love you so much…just so much…” Sheridan got up and led Luis into her bedroom.
They began kissing, with much passion as Luis lay her down on the bed. She gave him time to take off his clothes as she took hers off. She turned on the radio and it played the song, “you’ve got a way” by Shania Twain. [I don’t really like that song, but I do…but I don’t…and yeah…it was just playing on the radio when I was writing this at 11:31 at night…Saturday…so…yeaeh…]
Sheridan touched Luis’s chest, she placed her hand over his heart. It was beating hard, Luis smiled, “you’re making it beat.” Sheridan kissed where his heart was and began kissing his body. Luis brought Sheridan’s lips back to his as he began kissing them fiercly. Luis then began kissing her soft skin. He kissed her all around her body and Sheridan moaned lightly, “oh luis…” He kissed her lips again. She kissed him softly as she whispered, “Oh love can’t even begin to describe the feeling I’m having for you…” They continued to explore eachother. Eventually leading to love making, as they continued their journey to a new spirtual place on a new level of their relationship. They made love several times during the night.
The sun beamed in on Sheridan bare leg, which was resting over on top of Luis’s legs. She felt the warmth of the sun and moved slightly. Luis grinned as he moaned and adjusted his eyes to the light. “Sheridan.”
She smiled as she reached her arm over him and traced his lips, “I suppose I can officially call you my boyfriend now?”
Luis laughed, “be mine.”
“I will…forever…”
“And ever.” They locked pinkies.
They spent the next several weeks together, playing and touring during the day; and making love untill ridiculas hours of the night. And the time in between was shared by loving looks and touching words. Everyday was a new experience for them, and they learned to love more and more.
eventually a month passed. Sheridan had been quiet all evening. They were sitting at a French restaurant. Luis felt Sheridan was holding back something. They didn’t speak much untill the waiter came. Luis said to the waiter, “two glasses of wine, please…”
Sheridan interupted, “Um, one glass of wine…water for me please.”
Luis eyed her curiously. “what Luis?” She huffed, annoyed, “can’t I just have water?”
“you’ve been so bitchy today, what’s up with you?” Luis replied annoyed.
“I’m just not feeling great, alright?”
“geez…no need to bite my head off.”
“Grrr.” Sheridan whispered annoyed, “urg. Luis, just stop okay, I’m not feeling well, okay?”
“Sorry, princess.”
The waiter returned with the wine and water. The rest of the evening didn’t take a turn for the better. Luis took Sheridan to Disney Land [yes, there’s one in paris…and if there’s not, there is now, ok?] He wanted to take her on the rides. Sheridan refused to go on : the bumper cars, ferris wheel, and roller coasters. Luis finally annoyed pulled her to the edge of the carnival grounds where the light was very dim. “Okay Sheridan…you’re acting too weird tonight…first, you won’t have wine…and you always have wine…and you refuse to go on ANY of the rides you LOVE…” Luis was yelling now.
“I can’t!” Sheridan yelled back, “I don’t wanna harm it!”
“Huh?” Luis said shakey.
“I missed a period.”
“and? You can’t be –“
“So I got a test thing…and…it was a ‘plus’.”
“But we’ve used…protection!”
“Not the first time, Luis. We didn’t…Luis…what are we going to do?”
“I can’t believe it.”
“I’m pregnant…I am…and there’s nothing to do to change it…do you still want me?” Sheridan’s eyes welled up.
“I don’t think we’re ready for a kid…”
“You don’t want me then?”
“Sheridan…I want you…I love you…but a baby…it’s gonna be real weird.”
“We’re having a baby, and we can’t change that…and I’m not getting rid of it…I didn’t want it at first…now…I know I want it…Luis…I want to have this baby…are you going to help me?”
“Well…how are we going to…Sheridan…we have to marry…I don’t want the baby to not have a married mother and father…”
“Well…marriage is alright with me…just tell me one thing…do you promise to lvoe this baby? Will you always love me?”
“I will Sheridan. The baby was concieved of love y’know?”
“I know.” Sheridan smiled.
“I love you…” Luis kissed her, “and our baby.”
