Saturday's Excerpt – Destiny

 Kerri bit her bottom lip fighting back the tears. "You’re the one who chose to leave. What do you want from me?" 

"I don’t want to lose you, Ker. I want and need you in my life." 

"I can’t just be your friend, Rachel. We’ve shared too much. I want all of you or nothing." 

"Kerri, please listen to me for a minute. Don’t you know what you mean to me?" 

A tear slipped from Kerri’s eye. "Obviously I don’t mean enough. Please have a good life, Rachel. I wish you only happiness and I hope you find what you’re looking for. There’s nothing more to say." As she removed the phone from her ear, she heard Rachel’s voice pleading with her, but she knew there was nothing more to be said. She hung up the phone. Her tortured heart couldn’t take any more battering. All emotion drained from her leaving her cold and numb as though someone had just died. There was nothing left inside, but a deep dark hole where her heart had once been.

 "You can stay here with me knowing we’ll leave here in a couple of years or you can go now, but I can’t wear your ring if you get on that bus." She swiped the tears from her eyes. "I can’t make any more promises if you leave." 

"This means we’re breaking up, Ker. Take back your ring. Please put it back on right now. I don’t want to break up." 

"Then please get back in the car." Her eyes pleaded with Rachel. "Don’t break my heart," she whispered. 

"Please understand why I’m doing this, Kerri. I do love you. We’ll be together like we planned." Rachel picked up her suitcases and walked into the bus terminal. Once inside she turned watching through the glass door as Kerri wiped the tears from her cheeks then got into her car quickly speeding away.

In bed later that night, Rachel listened to Kerri’s heavy breathing, but knew that she wasn’t asleep. She moved closer tenderly touching Kerri’s smooth cheek. "Ker?" 

"Hmmm?" 

"Were you sleeping?" 

She slowly let her breath out. "No, just thinking." 

"About what?" 

Kerri shifted turning her face toward Rachel. "Us. I thought my life was finally going the way I’d always hoped and now you’re leaving me." Her voice cracked, and then broke. "I’m afraid that I’m losing you and I don’t know what to do." 

Rachel ran her fingertips over Kerri’s cheek feeling the tear that trickled from her eye. "I’ll never leave you, Ker. I just need to do this. For us."

Saturday's Excerpt – Destiny

"Jaylene's there?"

"She just got out of the shower," she explained. "I don't know what she fixed for my hangover, but I'm feeling better than I was a little while ago." She smiled at Jaylene.

"She spent the night then?" Angela's voice grew quiet.

"Yes. If it weren't for her, I don't know how I would have gotten through the night. She was a lifesaver."

"I…I'll let you get back to what you were doing. I was just worried about you. Goodbye."

"Angela, wait!"

Rachel noticed Angela's demeanor as her friend sat rigid with her lips tightly pursed in disgust. "Okay, level with me, Angela. What is it with you two?"

Angela's eyes flashed angrily. "She's bad news. She enjoys chewing people up and spitting them out. She's a user and she's dangerous. No one's feelings, but her own are of any importance to her," she bitterly replied.

Rachel's eyes clouded. "Did she do something to hurt you?"

Angela looked down at her folded hands and seemed to be concentrating on the simple ring she wore on the pinkie finger of her right hand. Finally, she raised her eyes to Rachel's. "Yes. She almost destroyed my life."

Rachel looked at her barely able to stand the pain in her lover's eyes. "I love you with all my heart, Kerri. I want a future with you, but just not here."

"I can't figure you out at all some times, but I can tell you one thing…the way you're talking doesn't make me feel very secure."

"I do love you so much, Kerri. Please don't ever doubt that." She grabbed Kerri's hands.

Kerri gazed into Rachel's eyes then leaned in closer softly moving her lips as she gently caressed Rachel's neck with tender kisses. "Do you?" she hoarsely whispered. "Show me." She rubbed Rachel's back, and then unhurriedly undid her bra. Her hands found the familiar breasts and she softly cupped them, massaging first one and then the other. A moan escaped from Rachel's lips.
