~Chapter 10~

Leah cried softly for a long time snuggling against Matt as he held her gently. Finally Matt pulled away from her as he touched her cheek lightly as he picked up her chin with his finger tips so she was meeting his eye’s. Leah smiled at Matt as he chuckled softly amazed at how it was possible for someone to be as gorgeous as she was.

Leah sighed clearing her throat… “Matt?” Leah asked whispering as Matt stared at her.

“What Lee?” Matt asked smiling at her.

Leah shrugged and Matt could see she was shaking. Matt slipped his arms around her again as he stared down at her as she looked up at him meeting his eye’s. Leah took a deep breath and whispered, “Matt… what’s gonna happen if I stay?” Leah asked as Matt watched her glance down avoiding his eye’s. Matt smiled as he leaned down closer to her face and he could feel Leah shiver. Matt smiled an he took a breath as Leah meet his eye’s again, and he stared into her eye’s as he gently kissed her cheek.

Leah’s heart raced- her cheek burned where Matt’s lips had touched her. She knew she blushed and her eye’s blazed staring back into Matt’s own. Matt smiled as he stared at her and ran his other hand gently through her long blond hair, twisting his fingers around a strand, as Leah smiled at him. Leah sighed again looking down away from Matt’s eye’s.

Matt smiled as he touched her cheek again softly. Then Matt leaned down close to Leah’s face again, Leah shivered as she felt Matt’s breath on her neck and his cheek touching her own. Matt’s whisper teased her skin, “I don’t know what’s gonna happen Lee! But Lee stay because you want to… stay because I want you too… stay because I don’t know what I’d do if you were to leave me… stay forever… stay because I care about you more then anyone in the whole world!" Matt whispered as he gently kissed her cheek again.

Leah closed her eye’s as another tear ran down her cheek, Matt’s words touched her soul… she’d love this man for always no matter how large the distance was between them, no matter how many miles separated them or whatever country either was in or no matter how crazy a schedule was or how far away they were from one another… Leah knew she’d love Matt… but now more then ever she was with him and this was what she’d waited for Matt to say to her since she was a teenager. Leah opened her eye’s as she hugged Matt tightly. Matt sighed after a moment as he pulled away from her so he could meet her eye’s again. “Tell me I won’t lose you Lee..” Matt whispered, “Tell me for as long as you can, you’ll stay… tell me we have a chance!” Matt whispered as Leah allowed silent tears to fall from her eye’s as Matt wiped them gently away with his finger tips.

Leah touched Matt’s cheek finally as she smiled, “I’ll stay for all of the above…” Leah whispered pausing, “I’ll stay Matt because…” Leah blushed staring at him, “I’ll stay because I care about you soo much! But most of all because I‘m willing to take a risk… I wanna to see if we do have a chance!” Leah whispered as Matt laughed smiling at her as he hugged her tight. “I’ll stay as long as I’m wanted… as long as I can stay I promise I will!” Leah whispered as Matt pulled away and smiled at her.

Matt didn’t know what to say…. He held her gently and stared at her for a long time. Leah finally broke the silence… “I wanna give you something…” Leah whispered smiling at Matt as he forced himself to let go of her and she went to her dresser and pulled something out of it shutting it as she looked across the room at him. Matt walked around to the bed and took her hand leading her back to the couch.

Once they were snuggled together under some blankets back on to the couch Leah handed Matt the small wrapped object she’d been holding and smiled at him. “I want you to have this!” Leah whispered staring up at Matt as he watched her a moment and then took the gift from her.

“What is it?” Matt asked grinning at her as he looked from the gift back to her face.

Leah grinned, “Open it!” Leah whispered gently elbowing him.

Matt grinned as he unwrapped the gift, tossed the shiny paper aside, and stared down at Leah’s new CD. Her autograph was written across her beautiful face on the album cover. Matt smiled up at her and sighed, then he turned the CD around and noticed she’d written more on the back.

To: My Matt, I hope you like being the first person to get an autographed copy of my CD… You’re my best friend…. you’ve already proven your worth because your you & I love you for who you are! Love Always, Lee!

Matt stared at the words written with black marker on the back of her CD and smiled. He loved this woman more then anyone in the world. Matt sighed as he glanced up at Leah and leaned over and set the CD on the table next to the couch. Then Matt turned back to her focusing his attention on Leah’s amazing sparkling diamond blue eye’s.

Matt stared at her and smiled. “I love it Lee…. Thank you so much! It’s awesome!” Matt whispered as he watched how the fire’s glow danced across her face.

Leah grinned as she looked down away from Matt’s intense eye’s and took a deep breath. Why hadn’t he kissed her already? Leah wanted to feel Matt’s lips kissing her own so badly! Leah sighed snuggling against Matt as she closed her eye’s and felt him wrap is arms tight around her. Leah was happy to be here with Matt… she never wanted him to let her go.

As the fire crackled and the shadow’s from the flames surrounded them in the darkness Leah felt her eye’s growing heavy. She’d had such a long day full of drama and now she felt cozy and warm in Matt‘s arms.

Matt could tell Leah was tired. But he didn’t want her to fall asleep on him… he wanted to talk about a few things first. Matt sighed as he whispered her name and smiled as Leah picked her head up from his shoulder and stared at him.

“Yeah?” Leah whispered- her sweet smile meeting Matt’s own.

Matt grinned. “Can I ask you something?” Matt whispered staring at her as he touched her cheek softly with his finger tips.

Leah sighed smiling. “You know you can Matt.” Leah whispered as she snuggled against Matt and stared up at him.

Matt sighed, then he reached to push a long strand of her blond hair behind her ear. “Okay well earlier… when I was coming to help you with Rick… I heard some of the things you both were saying…. I mean, I overheard some of the conversation,” Matt said pausing, “I want something to happen between us… I’ve wanted something to happen forever…. I just wanna know if you do?” Matt asked whispering softly as Leah sat up a bit more and stared at him.

Matt stared at her as she blushed smiling radiantly at him. Leah shrugged biting her lip gently. Leah sighed. “I guess I want something to happen between us…I think….” Leah paused a few moments, “I want a lot to happen…..” Leah whispered softly looking down blushing away from Matt.

Matt smiled as he reached up and touched Leah’s cheek softly. Matt raised Leah’s chin gently so she was meeting his eye’s finally. Leah stared at Matt shivering, her heart racing- his eye’s were so intense and his smile made her wanna melt… he looked gorgeous!

“I want everything to happen Lee……..!” Matt whispered meeting her eye’s smiling.

Leah bit her lip gently staring into Matt’s intense eye’s. It was time for the truth! Matt could feel Leah shivering and he couldn’t help but be excited that she was in his arms and he was finally going to tell her how he feels about her.

“I want you to stay with me… I wanna be with you…. I wanna be yours and…I want you to be mine. I screwed so many things up before, I wanna take this as my one and only chance to change everything! I wanna fix things Lee, I wanna be completely honest and tell you everything… I wanna tell you how crazy I am about you… how crazy I’ve always been! I was never brave enough to tell you…. but I had the biggest crush on you for years…. I liked you so much, but God Lee I could never get the nerve enough to tell you….”

Matt paused smiling as he remembered how he tried and tried, but he could never get the courage enough to say anything. “But today when I saw how… how Rick touched you… how he hurt you it drove me nuts! I wanted to kill him! I just wanted to hold you… From the second you got here everything I had felt so long ago… all the old feelings… they came back to me and I knew it was time to be honest. I just want you to know how much you mean to me… I care about you more then anyone in the whole world….” Matt whispered smiling as Leah stared at him shaking. “I’m crazy about you Lee… you mean everything to me!” Matt whispered as some tears ran down Leah’s cheeks.

After a few moments of silence Leah spoke, “I do?” Leah whispered crying softly as she stared at Matt.

Matt smiled shaking his head. “Yeah you do!” Matt smiled wiping a tear gently away from her cheek.

Leah took a breath smiling, “I have a confession to make too Matt.” Leah paused blushing, as Matt chuckled. “I had a huge crush on you too…” Leah whispered touching Matt’s cheek smiling. “I wasn’t brave enough to ever tell you either.” Leah said softly blushing more.

Matt grinned, “I have another confession to make Lee,“ Matt whispered as Leah smiled at him. “I wanted to go to prom with you so badly- I watched you all night long with Jack Rogers and I hated that you weren’t there with me… the whole night I pretended my date was you! I messed up and I don‘t wanna do that anymore. And when I left I thought about you all the time… I‘m just really happy you’re here and now we can start over.“ Matt whispered as Leah laughed smiling at him as she snuggled against him laughing softly..

After a few moments Matt smiled, chuckling. “Well now that the truths out… what are we gonna do?“ Matt asked softly.

Leah smiled shrugging. “I guess we should see what happens... we should take that chance!” Leah whispered softly smiling at Matt.

Leah smiled and snuggled against Matt as she stared at him. Leah shook her head smiling as Matt gently touched her cheek and leaned close to her face, his cheek touching hers, his breath was so warm on her cheek and neck, Matt’s whisper made Leah shiver, “Okay then Lee I wanna kiss you......” Matt whispered kissing her cheek gently.

Leah felt her throat go dry and her heart race. She shivered as she snuggled against Matt and closed her eye’s and felt his lips on her cheek. Leah felt warm, her cheek burned from Matt’s touch.

After a moment Matt pulled back a little and met her eye’s. Leah smiled at him as she touched his cheek. “So then what are you waiting for?” Leah whispered smiling at him.

Matt stared at her and grinned. He’d dreamed of this since the day he meet her and Matt was suddenly overwhelmed that it was finally happening. Hope and time feel into place and luck was on his side and it was time, there was nothing to wait for any more, this was it.

Matt smiled touching her cheek softly. Matt took a deep breath as he leaned closer to Leah and watched as she closed her eye’s and sighed. Matt felt good…. No he felt great! Matt slowly moved closer and closer to Leah’s face.

Leah waited patiently and was excited when she could feel Matt’s breath on her face and on her lips. His breath was warm and sweet and she ached to finally feel his lips. This was really happening, and she wasn’t dreaming.

Finally after a few agonizing moments Leah felt Matt kiss her lips gently. It was amazing.

Leah knew that as long as she had Matt… she could overcome anything. Rick was gone and he wouldn’t be bothering her anymore…that she was sure of. Her career was blossoming and now she was Matt’s and he was hers.

As long as they loved each other it was enough to hold them together no matter how big a distance separated them. It was going to be a struggle no doubt about it-but as long as there’s love its always enough to bind you to the one you love. Matt would love Leah always and she would forever be in love with him.

So the moral of there story is no matter how the years go by or how big a gap separates you as long as you have someone no matter what happens as long as there’s love between you, you’ll make it. So is love ever enough...? Love is always enough!

The End!
