You were mine

Reunion

Oliver

Years later...

It had been years since Crema.

I had been to Crema again hoping That I would get to clear the air between me and Elio but he wasn't there.

I finished up my lecture and put my stuff in my bag.

I was ready to go when I heard a knock.

What the heck?!? The door was open whoever was there should just walk in.

" Hello professor!" A very familiar voice said behind me.

I turned around to Check who was at the door. I was about to look but I saw the persons shadow and realized who was at the door.

Him.

He was here. He was actually here! Oh my god!

" Elio " I whispered looking up at him.

" Hey !" Elio said smiling " What I just spent hours in a plane and the only greeting I get is my own name?"

I chuckled and ran to him.

I hugged him.

He wrapped his arms around me.

I hugged tighter to make sure this wasn't a dream.

" You're here " I said smiling

" I am !" Elio said smiling.

The emotions of summer 1983 came rushing back.

I remembered everything.

Him and me.

Everything.

Yeah sure I was married but the relationship I had was nowhere close to what Elio and I had.

I decided to see if the feelings I had for him still existed.

I looked up at him and kissed him.

He kissed me passionately smiling. I still loved him. I didn't want it to end.
I pulled away remembering I had a wife.

" You're married Oliver " Elio whispered frowning.

" I know " I said frowning.

" It's just seeing you here is like waking from a twenty year coma " I said smiling.

Elio frowned not speaking to me.

" Elio please don't start ignoring me again I hate not talking to you " I said frowning.

" Is it better to speak or to die?" Elio asked me.

" Speak " I said smiling " Speak to me "

" Seeing you again after years is like a never ending nightmare " Elio said frowning.

" What why ?" I asked.

" Let's get a drink shall we ?  Elio asked. I nodded.

We went to his hotel and got a drink.

He explained to me what he meant by what he said in my classroom.
