Chapter Five

Diego

Months went by and each moment was utter hell. I missed Ana, I missed what we had together but the worst part was the judgment from my son.

"You know she misses you too," he said one morning over breakfast.

"I doubt that."

"She does. She told me."

I whipped my head around and looked at him, "You've talked to her?"

"Yeah, almost every day."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"She asked me not to."

"How long? How long have you two been talking."

"Since the day she left. She called me that afternoon and told me what happened. That she decided things weren't going to work out between the two of you but she still cared for me a lot and wanted me to know she would always be there for me. So I called her the next day. And the day after that. I felt like she wasn't telling the truth. Like she didn't really believe what she was saying and now I know it was all a lie. I don't get adult relationships. If you miss her and she misses you, why aren't you just together?"

"It's more complicated than that."

"I don't think so."

I watched as he stood, grabbed his backpack and his last piece of toast, "Jamal's mom is driving us to school. I'll see you tonight."

Fuck. The door slammed behind him and I had to wonder, was my fourteen year old kid right? Maybe things weren't as complicated as we made them out to be.

I picked up my phone yet again and called Ana. I had left more messages than warranted but sometimes I just needed to hear the sound of her voice. Even if it was just the recording on her voicemail. After leaving another message I did the one thing I never thought I'd do. I got in my car and headed to the other side of the city. Work didn't seem to matter, I got Marilyn a job at another firm in the city with a friend of mine. She was out of the way and yet Ana still wasn't by my side. I was pretty sure the leak came from her as well, since all had been calm since she left. She set her eyes on newer and better things and it worked out better for both of us. My friend's firm was much larger and her level of power and control weren't even remotely close to what she had with our firm. Now all I had left to do was figure out how to get Ana back. Today was the day I was tired of waiting.

When I pulled up to her building there wasn't a parking spot in sight. I ended up two blocks over and admired the old brownstone buildings and trees in this part of the city. It felt as if it had been untouched by the chaos of the city and its appeal was overwhelming. I climbed up the steps in front of her building and pushed the call button hoping she was there.

"Can I help you?"

"Hey, it's me. Can I come up."

Silence stretched for what felt like hours but it was probably less than a minute before I heard the buzz and the click of the door. I went in and climbed the two flights of stairs to her apartment, lifted my hand to knock but before I could the door opened. She looked like an angel. Light glowed around her from the window and her light colored hair fell around her shoulders. I came here to talk, to make amends for not fighting harder to keep her but I was overwhelmed with the feel of her so close to me so instead I reached for her, pulling her body to mine as her arms came up around my neck.

My mouth crashed into hers and she moaned, pulling me tighter to her. I stepped forward taking her with me and kicked the door closed behing me as she started pulling at my clothes.

"What took you so long?" She asked between yanking at my belt and me sucking at her neck.

"I didn't think-" her hand grasped my cock and she squeezed. "Fuck. I didn't think it was time yet."

"And it is now?"

"It was then. I was wrong."

Ana let out a little laugh as I pulled her shirt over her head and sank my teeth into the top of her breast.

"Damn." she whispered as we moved in a mess of thrown clothes and chaos to her bedroom. Once there I lifted her up and threw her down on the bed.

"Don't even let me wait that long again."

She raised her eyebrows.

"You can't judge, you left me." I said as I pulled her jeans from her body.

"It was for your own good."

"We'll have to agree to disagree about that."

I crawled over top of her, pleased to have not been turned away. What was between us was everything. Nothing could compare to what it felt like to be with the person you were meant for. Looking into Ana's eyes I was so fucking grateful I found her. Sure I fucked up, and maybe she did too for running from me, but what was happening now was solidifying our future. I could feel the hopefulness filling the room and I needed it like an addict needed drugs.

"Tell me what you need, Little One."

"All of you… forever."

"Fuck Ana, I've missed you so much." I crawled further down the bed and spread her legs. I could already see the glistening shine of her excitement and I lapped it up before covering her clit with my mouth. Her hands went straight to my hair and she pulled at it, begging me for more. I sucked and nibbled as her hips rose and fell in time of my movements. My cock was angry with me for delaying the inevitable as I was surrounded by her scent. Her legs shook and her voice carried through the room as her body tensed, My sweet girl was losing herself in everything I had to give her and it was music to my ears.

The second her body relaxed I stood, licked my lips and stripped away what was left of my clothes. I pulled her legs to me, standing on the side of the bed and entered her in one quick motion.

"Fuck! Diego."

I raised my eyebrows in her direction as she looked up at me and pumped my hips harder.

"Sir, I mean sir." she said reaching for her breasts and twisting her nipples. A little pain with her pleasure, that's how my Little One always liked it.

"Tell me your mine, Ana. Tell me we are forever."

"I'm yours," she cried out "I'll never leave you again…. forever Sir. Always."

I bent forward and pulled her into my arms before pressing her against the wall. Everything on it shook as I thrust up inside her again and again as she cried out my name. Her head slammed back into the wall and her eyes went wide with excitement.

"Harder."

I obliged. Thrust after thrust, each movement designed only to please her making me harder than ever. I felt the signs of my impending orgasim as it rose and I knew she was close.

"Now Ana, I can't hold on for much longer. Come for me now."

Her voice cracked as she let out a moan and reached between us, stroking her clit as I gripped her ass to keep her from falling. She wasn't as loud this time, but just as needy. Her breathing became erratic and she reached up holding my face and pulled my forehead to hers. My mind and body exploded as I stared deep into her eyes and made promises of forever in hopes that this time it would certainly stay.

We cleaned up and ordered take out. Her naked body covered mine as I ran my fingers through her hair. "I wasn't kidding about forever. I love you Ana. More than anything in the world."

"I love you too, Diego. But is it all enough?"

"I should have kept you by my side instead of letting you leave. Everything is settled at the firm, Marilyn is gone and Alejandro and I need you back in our lives. Just promise me we aren't making pointless plans. Promise me you will come home with me tonight and stay there forever."

She looked up at me with a small smile on her face. It was one of those moments that would be burned into my mind for the rest of my life and then she said. "Of course I will."
