Elements of the Heart (Red and Gemma)

I smiled when he actually didn’t seem to mind at the thought of ya spending a normal moment together some time during the week. I just bite my lip when we get the car. Still thinking on what would be a good possibility for us.
“Maybe I don’t know... doughnuts and coffee together?” I asked sheepishly when I reached out to hold his hand in mine. Just sighing in relief when I feel those sparks again

"That sounds good to me." I tell her with a smile and rub my thumb over her hand as she holds onto mine. I buckle up along with her and start up my car.
"So can I have your address to drive you home?" I ask with a little grin. This night had gone pretty well. She was a pretty nice girl.





John
I rub my temples as I look at my window in my office. Well more like the room in the abandoned apartment building I was calling my office. I felt like things have been rapidly going off rails. Icyn was becoming the number one drug in the city and the one that all the cops are trying to track down information on.
That stupid shadow girl was getting closer and closer with all her nosing around. I don't think I can sit still here much longer. I need to move somewhere else or get rid of her.

“Well I don’t think I’ll ever stop saying I’m sorry for being such an ass to you. I honestly just wanted the best for you. Should’ve remembered that you’re a lady not just a detective.” I was being apologetic because I was so rude to her. And I really did like her, and for her to think the opposite made me feel like an utter fool.
“Oh umm beer is fine and sure another slice. Turns out I am kind of hungry.”

"I'm just teasing, Leo. Seriously I'm over it." I tell him with a smile. He tells me beer is fine but he would like another slice of pizza. I chuckle as he adds it turns out he is kind of hungry.
"Sure." I say getting up to grab him another slice and then I sit back down with him.
"So tell me about yourself. I feel like I know nothing about you." I say since we haven't really talked about ourselves much.

I thanked her again for the beer when i looked back at her when she mentions that we both haven't really known much about one another. She wants to know a little bit more about myself.
I took a very long sip of my beer just a little bit, "Well it really depends what do you want to know about me?"

"Well I don't know. You know stuff. What's your favorite color? What kind of music do you like? Are you close with your family? Do you have any siblings?" I ask rambling a bit and blush bright red looking away a little.
"You don't have to answer all those. I'm just curious to know more about you. I mean we have been around each for months now but I feel like I don't know anything about you. Besides where you like."

I smiled at her just hearing her just talking and talking about how little does she know about me. I bite my cheek a bit and i just looked at my beer and i reach out to hold her hand in mine.
"I'm an orphan so my background history on the family matter is a little short to be explained." I tell her and just rubbed the back of her hand a little.
Mariana
i don't know why John came all the way to the city again. I mean we've decided many years ago that it wouldn't be a good idea for us to come back here. I mean we were fine in our cabin in the woods but i guess he just needs to come back to this life. My chest hurt... I don't want him out here on his own
I went to the apartment that he rented and just had a basket full of warm food. I just didn't like coming to the city... so many bad memories. I knock on the door and wait for him to answer.

He reaches over to hold my hand in hers and tells me he was an orphan so his background history on the family matter is a little short to be explained. He rubs the back of my hand a little.
"I guess we have that in common. I was abandoned as a baby. I guess you could say I was a jane doe baby. They had no record of my birth or my parents. I was left on the church steps without a note or anything." I tell him.
John
I hear a knock on the door and I sigh getting up to go check it. I open it and look at the girl surprised. "Mariana... what are you doing here?" I ask her and gesture for her to come in. I hadn't seen her in a while since I came back to the city.

I squeeze her hand a little when she explains to me that She was a Jane doe. She goes very little into specifics but even I know it takes time for that piece of information to just be revealed. I brought her hand up to my lips and I lightly kissed every single finger tip.
“I’m sorry you lived that life June. You really do deserve better than what you got.” I whispered to her.
Mariana
My heart sinks a little when he opens the door and just looks at me. What? Did he honestly think I wasn’t going to come? I go in with the bowls of containers in my hands and I just tried to make a sentence.
“I was worried about you. You haven’t come back home in two weeks. No call or text. I just came to bring you some food. I got you pasta lasagna pizza umm some tacos and omelette.” I tell him putting the bowls down in the kitchen.
“Why haven’t you come back? You said it was going to be for a day or two that you’d be in the city.”

He squeezes my hand and draws my hand to his lips. I blush softly as he lightly kisses my fingertips. He whispers he is sorry I lived that life and I deserved better then what I got. I shake my head softly.
"It wasn't all bad. I got adopted by this couple when I was three. They are the closest thing I have to parents. I don't think I would be were I am today if it wasn't for them." I tell him and lean over to kiss his jaw with a light peck.
"You deserve better too. You are a good man."
John
She tells me she was worried about me and that I hadn't come home in two weeks. She just came to bring me some food to eat. She sets the bowls down in the kitchen and asks me why I haven't come back.
I rub my face and sigh. "Things came up. I have to stay longer then I thought." I tell her and look over at the food. "Thanks for food, Mari. I was going to call... I just... things kept coming up and I didn't find the time." I say. The truth was I didn't want her to know what was going on.

“I didn’t. I was in the foster care system until I wasn’t eighteen. By then I had made a couple of mistakes that didn’t follow me to this job because of my record being expunged because I was a minor at that time.” I whispered to her. Not minding to expose the most darkest parts of me to the woman that I care for and want something with.
I chuckled under my breath and just turned over and leaned in to kiss her on the lips. “Thanks for saying that.” I whispered to her before I cupped her face and I kissed her lips again.
Mariana
“Yeah that’s what you said the first day that you left.” I mumbled looking away from his eyes before I rubbed my shoulder. I hate coming to the city. Being warped up in memories and the hurt still ran as deep as my veins. But... I couldn’t lose him. I don’t want to lose him... it’s the whole reason I said no to his proposal...
I go to him and hold his hand tightly. Before I looked up at him teary eyed. “Please come home John.”

He tells me about his childhood and his past, which touches me that he was willing to share something like that with me. He chuckles when he finishes and kisses me. He whispers thanks for saying that and cups my face, kissing me again.
"Glad to you. You are a good man and I happen to like this sweeter version of you." I whisper softly as I kiss him back. My arms wrap around his neck and I smile against his lips.
"I mean you were still hot when you were a grumpy face but I like it when you are cute like this."
John
I sigh as she mumbles a little, looking away and rubs her shoulder. She grabs my hand and looks at me with tears in her eyes, begging me to come home. I groan knowing she was working me hard right now. She knew I couldn't stand seeing her in tears.
"I can't, Mari. I have to finish some things and then I can come home." I tell her and kiss her forehead. "Look I'll be home soon I promise."


Mariana
My blue eyes lock with his and he just tells me that he will be here for a little while longer. I closed my eyes and just pulled away form him... why is he just distancing himself from me?
"Why... you promised that nothing was going to change between us when i said no. Was that a lie?" I looked at him completely hurt right now.

Her eyes lock with mine and then they close as she pulls away from me. She asks why and that I promised that nothing was going to change between us when she said no. She looks hurt asking if that was a lie.
"No, Mari. I just... this is something I need to do and I can't go back until I see it through." I tell her and sigh again. "I told you it was fine. Nothing is going to change. I just need some time to deal with things here and then I'll come back."

I looked at him feeling completely hurt. He didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth of what's going on. It's like he placed a barrier between us that is not going away and it feels like there's a knot in my heart somehow... it's not going awa.
I just grabbed my shoulder and walked towards the door. "Just... eat please...don't forget to take care of yourself." I whispered to him before i open the door.

She whisper to take care of myself while she walks to the door. She opens it and I reach out to grab her other hand. "Please, Mari, I don't want you to be upset with me. But this is something I have to do and I don't want to get you tangled up in it." I whisper softly.
"I promise to try and call or text you more, giving you updates on when I'll be back." I add. I hated it when she was upset at me. It was like someone was driving a stake through my heart.

Didn't he see what hurt the most? It hurt seeing him just push me away to the side. I love him with all my heart but... I just wanted to be in each other's life forever not risking him dying because of my curse but..
I let his touch linger on my hand before i pulled away from him. "Just... talk to someone John, if not me then just find someone." I whispered to him trying to mask my heart ache
Leo
I carefully place my beer on the table for safety. The last thing i want was to make a mess or anything. Especially in the way that she was kissing me here and there.
"So it's safe to say that you just like me. Being either the grumpy side or the sweet side?" I asked smiling a little when i kissed her back.

She lingers for a moment and then pulls away. She whispers to talk to someone about it, if not her just someone. I let her go with a sigh. I didn't want to hurt her but I needed to get some things under control here or it would come back to bite me in the ass.
Juni
He sets his beer aside and asks so it is safe to say I just like him. "Mmm maybe." I whisper playful and sigh as he kisses me again. I kiss him back loving how it made me feel tingly and gave me butterflies with each kiss.

I walk out of the apartment building. The crisp air of the city made my skin shiver a little. I still don't like the city, the memory of that night is just so fresh and vivid in my mind. How we ran through the streets... just running because our lives depended on it.
I hugged myself a little more before i started walking down the side walk again. My almost cream like blonde hair being blown slightly by the night breeze, just wlaking .
Leo
"Maybe?" I asked her smiling at her teasing nature when i cupped her face and brought her in for another kiss. Each kiss we gave each other grew hungrier. She kissed me with such love and i returned it back. Until i somehow brought her on my lap and i was running my fingers through her hair.
"Its getting late." I whispered against her lips.

I close the door and sigh hating having to hide things from Mariana. We didn't keep stuff from each other but this time I could share with her. I didn't want her to get tangled up in this.
I wasn't going to lie to myself because I knew that Mari's rejection to my proposal hurt. I love her so damn much and you can tell she loves me too but she refused when I asked her to marry. I still didn't understand why.
I shake my head and open the door racing after her. "Mari!" I call out and see her in the distance. I catch up with her and take her hand in mine. "Stay the night. It's cold and getting late. I don't want you walking around out here."
Juni
He asks maybe. "Yes, maybe. You've go to work for it a little before I just admit that I might just like you." I whisper playfully. He smiles and cups my face in his hands. He kisses me again and soon our kisses grew hungrier, deeper until I end up in his lap.
I moan under my breath slightly as his fingers run through my hair. He whispers it is getting late and I whine not wanting him to go yet.
"You could stay... I mean we don't have to do anything more since you want to court me but I have a big bed. Bigger enough for two and a cat." I whisper softly with a blush.

I chuckle under my breath when she whined that she didn’t want me to leave even if it was getting late. I kissed her lips again just very softly so I could wipe that pout off her face. She then tells me that I could stay the night and that we wouldn’t do anything.
I mean I did want to be with her a little longer I just don’t know if I’ll be able to contain myself if she’s next to me. But she really does look like she doesn’t want me to go.
I cup her face a little and I let out a sigh. “Well I can do a night cap with you but I’m going to have to stay in these pants if I do.”

He chuckles a little and kisses me softly, soothing away my pout. She cups my face and sighs telling me he could do a night cap with me but he is going to have to stay in his pants if he does.
"I've got a pair of my dad's sleep pants if you want to see if they fit. He leave them here last time they visited a few months ago. All wash and everything if you want to borrow them." I tell him with a little smile.

Well it’s better to know that the pair of pajama pants that she has are from her fathers than anyone else. I nodded my head accepting her pants offer. After all I did drink two bottles of beer. I can either hail a cab or walk it. Spending the night with the girl I like seems like a much better option.
“Alright in that case where are the pants?” I asked her.

He nod after thinking about it for a moment and asks me where the pants are. "In the guest room dresser." I tell him and blush. "I probably should have offered that before my bed." I say embarrassed and hop up to clean up our dinner mess.
"You can change in the bathroom down the hall and the guest room is on the left just pass it." I tell him as I work on dishes.

I think I heard someone call my name out. But I didn’t pay much attention until I got to the corner of the block and I try to hail a cab or something. When I do so I feel someone grab my hand and call my name.
I didn’t flinch because I was way too familiar with the touch when I looked back at John and I just take in what he says. “It’s fine I was just going to hail a cab and go straight home.” I tell him really not wanting to intrude

I shake my head as she tells me it is fine and she was going to hail a cab. I didn't like the idea of her heading back at there all by herself at night.
"Just stay the night. It is already pretty late and it's quite a trip back." I tell her and look at her. "Please, Mari. I'll send you back in the morning. Stay tonight so I don't worry about you getting back to the cabin safe."

I looked back at him and just bit my lip a little. I just waned some space from him right now. It felt like he wasn't telling me the complete truth about something and that hurt in the pit of my stomach.
But he was still holding my hand and it was as if... there was just this string of hope in me right now. "Okay." I muttered to him

She looks back at me and bites her lip, looking like she was debating. She mutters okay after a minute.
"Thank you, Mari." I say and kiss her head before I guide her back to the building. I made me a little more relaxed to know she wasn't traveling on her own this late at night. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her.
"Are you hunger or need to shower?" I ask her not sure if she wanted to do anything or just head to bed.

He looked a lot more relieved that i conceded in his request to just stay the night with him. I wasn't going to fight about it but i just let him guide me back to his apartment. I turned my head a little until we make it back.
I'm still hugging myself from the cold and a little when i turned to look at him again and just bit my lip a little.
"I don't need to shower... have you eaten anything before i came here?" I whispered to him

I shrug off my jacket seeing her hug herself tightly as she glances my way. I wrap it around her tight to keep her warm from the cold. I forget that just because it didn't bother me, it did others.
She whispers she doesn't need a shower and asks if I had eaten anything before she came. "No, it kind of got away from me." I tell her letting her back into the building up to where I was staying.
"Though you brought me some really delicious looking meals."

I looked at him and bit my lip a little bit. I looked back at him when we finally make it to his apartment and i lightly chuckled under my breath when i looked back at him.
"Well, in that case let me heat up one of the meals then. That way... I could sleep better knowing that you ate something." I whispered to him when i walked back to the kitchen table and grabbed one of the bowls to go and clean them

She looks at me still biting her lip a little. She chuckles a little under her breath and then whispers in that case let her heat up one of the meals. That she would sleep better knowing that I ate something.
"That would be great. Thanks, Mari." I say as she grabs the bowls to go clean them out. "Do you want me to go set up a room for you?" I ask her.

He lived in such a tiny apartment, it was almost like a studio, when he asked me if he wanted me to set up a room for me i didn't see it as the right thing to do. I shake my head.
"no thank you i'll be on the couch for tonight." I whispered to him... not really knowing what to say or even talk about right now. I mean.. what do you say? We can't talk about how close we used to be, or how close we're not... its like we can't be brother and sister anymore.

She shakes her head and tells me she'll sleep on the couch for the night. I shake my head with a frown. "Mari, take the bed. The couch isn't comfortable and I want you well rested. After all I asked you to stay and your brought me food." I tell her.
"I insist you take it." I add not wanting her to sleep on the lumpy thing. I barely used it as it is.

I turned to look at him and kind of give him a tiny glare. "I'm not a baby John. I'll take the couch besides you don't plan on having me here longer than a couple of hours. I don't want to use the bed." I tell him not wanting him to sound that i'm being ungrateful or anything.
I just.. he's already distancing himself from me so far... I don't want to go through anything bad. I started plating up our food for the two of us.
She tells me that she is sure I'll find a balance and if not she will help me. She beams and I smile as well. "Well I'll keep that in mine." I tell her.
The waiter comes over with the check. I pay for it and she leaves a tip. She thanks me for dinner and I help her up from the table. She adds that maybe next time we can try something more casual.
"Sure, we can do that." I tell her as I guide her out to my car. "What did you have in mind?"
