“I would never have had the type of relationship that I have with Rafe now, if I had not tried to be a people pleaser,” Eliza said, looking at Terrence and sipping her drink from the bar stool.
Terrence looked at her, as he sipped his own drink. When she came into his office, he was nervous that she was going to tell him something he did not want to hear about them. But she was having a rough day at work, and so he took her to a nearby cocktail bar to talk.
“I was so stressed out about my upcoming wedding, and trying to be everything I thought I was supposed to be…I was sitting at a bar when I met the guy that I was seeing before you…”
Terrence had heard about Oscar before, and nodded.
“Today,” Eliza continued. “was just like that professionally. I felt like I was doing a trapeze act to make everyone happy, and did not think about that made me happy. But what made everyone else happy. Sorry to unload all of this on you Terr—”
He stood up, and pulled he close to kiss her. The ice in her drink clattered as a tiny cacophony as she kissed him back and wrapped her legs about him. His kiss deepened before he pulled away, and looked at her. She looked thoroughly kissed, and he could tell she was swooning.
“You never have to apologize to me, I am always here for you,” he said, pushing hairs out of her face before she did.
“I just,” she started. “I ran to you because I needed to tell you, and because I knew you would make me feel better.”
“Eliza,” he started, and then stopped.
He was overcome with emotions, but did not want to tell her while she was dealing with so much. He did want to make her feel uncomfortable, or like he had an agenda.
His love did not have an agenda…
