know what it is about you, but you are always on my mind.”
    “I
feel the same,” Demona said.
    “Wait,
let me finish. I got some bad news earlier today. My mom is in the hospital and
I need to go to Florida to make sure things are okay.”
    Oh no! “When will you
be back?”
    “Indefinitely.
I don’t know how long she will be in the hospital, or if she will need me after
she is released. I need to be there for both of my parents, since my sister is
working full time. I’m a starving musician remember? And there are no gigs for
me right now. It’s better that I go and stay with them, until they can manage
on their own again.”
    “I
understand. Your parents are lucky to have such a devoted son.” Just when things were going so well.
    “I
leave tomorrow morning, but I was wondering if I could spend the rest of the
evening with you, before I leave?”
    “Of
course.”
    It
was a bitter sweet feeling, as they sat on her sofa. Demona surfed through the
TV channels and found nothing good to watch, so she turned off the TV and put
some music on her laptop. She turned to face Felix, crossing her legs in a
comfortable position. Felix pivoted himself so that he sat across from her with
one foot planted on the floor and the other resting on the sofa. His elbow
rested on the back of the sofa and he leaned slightly towards her admiring her
beauty.
    “I’m
glad you decided to come by tonight. I really like being with you. I feel like
we’ve known each other forever,” Demona said.
    “I
am happy that we both feel the same. It gives me hope that I might have someone
waiting for me when I come back, but I know that it’s a selfish thought. I
can’t ask you to wait around when I don’t even know how long I’ll be gone. But,
for now I want to cherish every second I have with you,” Felix said.
    Demona
looked down at her lap. Her long black hair cascaded down her back. A small
strand fell from behind her ear. Before Demona could stick it back behind her
ear she felt Felix’s hand brush it back for her.
    His
hand lingered on her cheek and she looked up into his hypnotizing eyes. They
stared at each other for a while. Their faces slowly gravitated towards each
other. In the same moment their eyes closed and their lips parted slightly.
They met with a jolt of passion.
    Felix
kissed her tenderly as his hand moved to rest just on the side of her jaw. The
feeling of his lips upon hers sent tingles all over Demona’s body. Demona
uncrossed her legs and positioned herself closer to Felix so she could get a
better grasp on him and pulled him closer to her. She ran her fingers through
his brown hair. He was intoxicating.
    They
continued to kiss. It was like nothing Demona had ever experienced before. It
was not an overwhelming sensation, but gentle and comforting. If telos had found her in that moment,
Demona was certain she would be satisfied with her life up to then. They broke
apart, only to return to gazing in one another’s eyes.
    Felix
shook his head and let out a deep sigh. “Man, I am going to miss that while I’m
gone.” He glanced at the clock. “I didn’t realize it got so late. I better go
so you can get some sleep for work.”
    “I
guess you’re right,” Demona said. She wanted to feel his lips upon hers again. She
wanted to feel the soft strands of his hair between her fingers.
    They
rose from the sofa and Demona walked him towards the door.
    “I
promise to call as soon as I get a chance. I don’t know what I'm in for when I
get there, but I won’t forget to call,” Felix said.
    “Take
your time; take care of your family. They’re most important,” Demona said.
    “Thanks.
You are important too.” Felix once more smiled that smile as he turned towards
Demona just within the threshold of the door and gave her one last kiss on the
cheek. “I will talk to you later.”
    “Okay,
be careful.” Demona to let go of him.
    “I
will.”
    After
closing the door Demona’s brain went on autopilot and took her
