The naturals - one shots

Home again

The wind was howling outside.
It wasn't her plan to stay.
She wasn't ready yet to stay.
Her eyes were focused at the big windows in the kitchen, starring at the garden and the water in the pool moving in waves triggered a feeling in her self were she did not know what this feeling tried to say to herself.
„Do you want more wine?"
She nearly forgotten that she wasn't alone.
She looked away from the garden directly into Tanners eyes.
Why did she say yes to come this house just to drink some wine with him?
„I think I had enough" she replied and really wanted to go and run away from the feelings inside her.
The house still looked exactly the same.
Nothing has changed, the kitchen still looked the same but now she sat here like guest.
Like some stranger.
„What are you thinking about?" without any former warning he touched her hand.
A wave of warmth filled her body and as much as she wanted to hate him, she couldn't.
„Nothing" she answered with a shy smile on her face.
„I think I should go" she finally said and stood up from her chair.
She automatically grabbed her glas and rushed to the other end of the kitchen were the dishwasher used to be but it wasn't there anymore.„It broke down shortly after you left, the new one didn't fit in this corner" Of course he knew what she was thinking.
Maybe the dishwasher location wasn't the only thing that had changed. Without any words she just put the glas on the kitchen board and tried to step across Tanner but he stopped her with his hands slightly on her arm. „Don't you want to stay ?"
Did he really asked that?
She was overwhelmed and confused by this question.
Her Instincts screamed at her but wasn't that what she really wanted?
To get loved again?
To feel safe again?
„I don't know" she said with hoarse voice and looked down to her feet.
„What don't you know?" He embraced his hands with her face gently and forced her to look up in his eyes.  „V, this is your home, this is our house, you are back and" he did another break and her heart was racing, beating to fast, she wasn't able to breathe, wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the next words.
„And I still love you!"
There it was the truth and eventhough  she was so afraid to get hurt again she fell in his arms and hold him really tight.
She had to be sure this wasn't just one of her dreams ... but it wasn't and then he kissed her. Kissed her with all the power that she usually used to suppress her feelings.
She kissed him back and that was the moment she knew she was home again.

I don't think that is how they actually got back in the Naturals but it would have been nice for them.
