I wasn’t about to argue with that. I knew we were on two different sides of the planet. But I also knew that if we wanted it badly enough, we would find a way to make it work.
Love is worth fighting for. You’re worth fighting for.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t plan this better. I mean, I should have a bottle of wine, some cheese and fruit. A nice blanket for us to lay.”
She smiled. “With a view like this, what else could you want?”
I leaned toward her and kissed her. She moaned and kissed me back. The fire that ignited each time we touched, was only stronger now since we had voiced our feelings. I laid down on the rock and pulled her on top of me.
We were kissing and in our own world, when the sound of flapping wings and a very angry bird, broke our embrace.
“What the heck!” she screamed and rolled off me.
I saw the huge angry hawk. It was trying to land in the cave and wasn’t happy to find any vacancies. I kicked my legs trying to scare it away. It only seemed to piss the bird off even more.
Laying down only made it as though he was in charge. I got up and swung my arms at it trying to scare it away. No luck. It swooped down, and then before our eyes, it grabbed Crystal's purse and flew away.
She stood up trying to grab a hold of it. I swear that she would’ve dove off the cliff after that damn bird to get it.
I was able to wrap an arm around her waist before she went over the edge.
“Crystal, it’s just a purse. It’s replaceable. You're not,” I said firmly.
“But...but...” she stammered before crying. “You don’t understand. It’s...it’s more than...a purse.”
“Okay. It’s a very expensive one. I can afford to replace it. Now come and sit away from the edge. You’re making me...nervous.” I had played as a child here and never gave a thought about falling. Seeing how close she was to going over the edge, almost gave me a heart attack.
“But not everything can be replaced, she said.
“Was your passport in there?” She shook her head. “You’re phone?” No again. “A family heirloom?”
“Mayson, it’s none of those things. It was a letter. A very important letter and now it’s gone,” she cried.
“I’m sorry. Maybe you can write another one,” I said.
“It...I... I didn’t write it. Someone else did,” she sobbed.
A lover? Are you crying over a letter from some other guy?
“It is just paper. It doesn’t matter.”
“You don’t understand. This matters. This is why I am here. And now...now...it’s gone.” She pulled away from me. “I shouldn’t have come. We should’ve stayed at the resort.”
I couldn’t understand why she was so upset. It was just a letter.
“If you want, I can take you back there now.”Please say no. I don’t want this to be how our day ends.
“I’m...I’m not sure. I don’t know what to do now.”
She was just starting off into the distance and I cupped her face, turning her to look at me. “Crystal, talk to me. Tell me why that letter meant so much to you?” I might not want to hear it, but it was that important to her, I needed to know. And if I had to, I would search every hawk's nest to find that fucking purse and let the damn letter back.
“It... doesn’t matter now. It’s gone.”
“It does matter,” I snapped. “You’re clearly upset about it. Tell me why.”
“Because it was for you!”
“For me? You wrote me a letter? You can just tell me what you want now.” I’d much rather hear it than read it anyway.
