He slid his hands across her hair, allowing his fingertips to glide through the strands of gold. She was so beautiful, and he hated that he had lied to her. Her blue eyes had welled up with tears, now spilling down across the freckles that danced all over her cheeks. Her lower lip trembled ever so slightly as she tried to speak. Nothing would come out. What question could at this time? What answer could he possible give that would be good enough?
Would that this moment never end. Jessica was pressed up as close as she could be to him, an embraced that knew it could not last. Arms wrapped around bodies that valiantly fight against the knowledge that not only will it end soon, but it will never happen again. She buried her face into his shoulder, sobs shaking her whole torso. He graced the top of her head with a plethora of kisses, one every inch of space he could find.
Without letting go, she pulled her face away, the redness of her eyes only making her glow more alive to him. She stared at him in amazement. He didn't know what to say. He didn't want to leave her just as they were really finding each other. It seemed cruel that he had been called back so soon.
"Who are you?" She whispered to him.
"That's a complicated question."
"I want to know, I need to know."
He kissed her instead.
He filled her mouth with a sunrise, letting the brilliance shine all over her morning. He let the rays warm her insides and brighten her soul. Her filled her with the sound of children laughing, of long afternoons laying in the grass and staring at the clouds. He filled her with the scent of chocolate chip cookies baked by grandmother over a long holiday weekend.
"My god!" she said, pulling away.
He smiled, "Are you okay?"
"Yes, that was beautiful."
"Good."
"I wonder what sex with you like this would be like?"
"I don't know. I've never tried it. Probably pretty much the same."
"Really?"
"Actually, Honey, It would probably kill you."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
They held on to each other for a few more minutes even though he could feel the pull in his metabolism. He had to return to the High. He couldn't bear to leave her, but after that last kiss, he knew he had to. Her fragile human form wouldn't be able to take his true self once he transformed completely.
"You said you've come before."
"Yes, centuries ago."
"Maybe you'll be able to come back again before that."
"That's not the way it works."
"Oh."
"Besides, every time I come back, I'm born brand new as a baby, and don't remember anything until I'm ready to return. It's part of the rules."
"The rules suck."
"I've more or less said that before."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"How old are you?"
"Imagine every moment, every single second that has passed since the birth of this world. Can you imagine how big a number that is? Now imagine each of those seconds are millenniums. I am far older than that."
"Wow."
"Yeah, I'm fucking old."
"And you fell in love with me."
"And I fell hopelessly in love with you in my time as a mortal, Jessica."
The tears started again. Then she said something that no other human who he had ever confided in in all these many years had ever said.
"Thank you."
He kissed her again. This time he filled her with all the same things as he had before. But he hid things. Things he wasn't suppose to. A wonderful future. A loving husband, healthy children, financial security, a long life. He filled her with a life of happiness and joy. And then he spread his golden energy out. He vibrated to the higher planes.
He looked down upon her from the Silver Place as she sat there on her porch, crying. He felt better leaving her, knowing he had gave her such a gift. She would always remember him, but she would never have regret. Love would fill her life in a way he never could. He had done something pure and true and utterly unforgivable by the higher powers.
WE WOULD LIKE A WORD WITH YOU
"I thought you would," he said, smiling.
