Chapter 2: Whatever You Want
Cece's hotel room after her non-wedding:
Cece Myers was at a crucial turning point in her life. Still in a daze and sick at heart, she sent Jess away to be alone, along with all of her family and friends. Jess had helped her remove her wedding dress and then she lay down for a while.
She felt like a complete fool. Her fiancé of nearly three months was in love with someone else, a childhood sweetheart, no less. She wanted to scream, but she was no better. Accepting a marriage proposal from someone she barely knew all because of some mad doctor's statement that she needed to have a baby right away. Her biological clock was now winding down to seconds, but that wasn't the only reason.
Then she did scream a scream so loud and heart-wrenching that it brought knocks to her door. "Are you alright in there? Open the door!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" She hollered back then she opened the door. It was Schmidt's girlfriend, hand raised about to knock again. Cece frowned wondering why she was still there.
"Are you sure you're Ok?" Elizabeth asked, concerned.
"I'm alright, but I'm sorry, but I don't remember your name."
"It's Elizabeth."
Cece was confused. "Why are you still here? Didn't Schmidt come back yet?"
"No, I haven't seen him. To be honest, I wanted to talk to you."
Cece did not want to talk to her, but she supposed they should clear the air. "Come in. Please excuse the mess." Clothes were all over the room.
"It's Ok." Elizabeth paused. "That was a … very interesting day." She was being polite.
"Don't mince words for me. It was a disaster. I feel like such an idiot." She fell on the bed and covered her head with a pillow.
Elizabeth sat down in a side chair. After watching her for a minute, she decided to dive right in. "So, you still love him?"
Silence followed that question.
After a minute, Cece groaned, removed the pillow, placed it over her chest and stared at her. "I think I do. And believe me, I don't want to, but there it is."
"I see."
"And you? Do you love him?"
She shook her head. "Oh, no, I don't love him. He's funny, crazy and a bit of a snob, but …"
"I hear you, believe me, I know."
Elizabeth was thoughtful as she thought about their past. "He's different from school, and it's not that he's in excellent shape. He's not the same guy I fell in love with."
"Everyone changes at some point in their lives. Schmidt is Schmidt. I understand him the way he is. I don't know why, but his quirks and frailties have endeared him to me." She shook her head. "I can't explain it."
"I think I understand." She paused as she watched her for a minute. "You love him." She realized the truth. "Are you sure you're Ok?"
They had reached an agreement. "I'm Ok and thank you for coming to my rescue. I admit I lost it for a minute there."
She smiled. "Happy to help."
Once at the door, a moment of awkward silence, then Cece held out her hand. "I'll see you around?"
"Probably not. It's over between us." She shook her hand.
"Oh, I see."
"Bye, Cece."
"Bye, Elizabeth."
She shut the door, but then five minutes later, there was a knock at the door. "Did you forget something?" She opened the door and Schmidt was standing there looking a bit silly even for him.
"Did who forget something?" He asked and came in without asking.
"Schmidt, I didn't invite you in. Go away. I don't want to talk to you," she huffed, but she did want to talk to him.
"Who were you talking to before?"
"It's none of your business. Now, please leave." She crossed her arms and walked over to the window.
He walked over to her stood just behind her. He dared to touch her shoulder. "Do you truly want me to go?"
She closed her eyes and sighed.
"Do you?"
"No, but …"
"Look at me, Cece."
She turned to him, but she couldn't look at him.
He raised her chin then she found her voice. "Why did you run away?"
He dropped his hand. "Because I'm an idiot."
She grinned. "You won't get any argument from me."
"Cece, I'm here now. I came back because well … because I had to."
"Go on."
"When we made eye contact just before the ceremony, I knew what you were thinking, I just knew."
"Oh, that." She thought about it for a minute. "Is that why you sabotaged my wedding because of that look?" She watched him squirm. "Jess told me everything; don't deny it."
"Yeah, it was me." He looked down at his shoes.
She shook her head at him. She wanted to throw her arms around him and thank him from stopping her from making the biggest mistake of her life. Then she did just that. "Thank you, Schmidt."
"I can't believe you're thanking me."
She sighed, pulled back and then told him everything. "I wasn't myself when I was with him. I never felt that way when we were together. I knew the difference, but I accepted his marriage proposal anyway. So thank you." She smiled at him, but her eyes were bright.
He couldn't resist her, so he pulled her close and buried his face in her neck. She made him do things he had never done before in his life, but he adored her. He actually did. "Cece, I …"
She pulled back and touched his lips. "I know you do, Schmidt."
"You do?" He was surprised to learn that. She was always surprising him, making him crazy and making him love her in ways that stunned his head and made his heart swell with joy at just her smile.
"Yeah, I do, I mean, we are friends and friends look out for each other," she said and gave him a flirtatious smile.
"Friends huh? I don't think so. Come here," he whispered then pulled her to him and kissed her. She kissed him back for a moment.
After pulling back, they both turned to the huge bed at the same moment. Both grinning, they walked over to the bed.
Cece stopped walking and took his arm. "Schmidt, I don't need any promises from you. I know you're not ready to make a commitment to me, but you are so worth it."
"Do you mean that?" She was one remarkable woman.
"Yeah, I do. I almost made a terrible mistake today. I know that now." She paused as she touched his cheek. "I know what I want, and I'm willing to wait."
He clutched her to his chest. 'I can't ask you to do that."
"You don't have to. It's what I want." She pulled him closer.
"I don't deserve you, I don't."
She pulled back and smiled. "Of course, you do. We deserve to be happy, Schmidt. We all do."
And with those words, they fell into bed. Clothes were removed slowly at first, and then they couldn't seem to get close enough or remove their clothes fast enough.
And when they came into each other's arms, they both sighed, thrilled to be together again. "I've missed you so much," he whispered in her ear and then he showed her just how much.
"Show me," she whispered back as if she knew what he was thinking.
Smoothing her hair away from her face, he whispered. "When I saw you just before the wedding looking so breathtakingly beautiful, I couldn't breathe. My heart stopped."
"Oh, Schmidt."
"It surely did. It finally hit me. My love was marrying someone else. I had to stop it somehow."
He called me 'love.' She pulled his head down and kissed him deeply, letting him know that she understood because her heart had stopped beating the moment she had seen him.
He kissed her back loving her so much that he couldn't breathe sometimes. He began at her throat, then her earlobe, with quick bites and licks. His tongue swirled around her ear and then down her throat.
Cece moaned and leaned to the side and to give him better access. Schmidt moaned loudly then. He came back to her, and she was thrilled and deliriously happy about it.
He made love to her slowly and with such thorough and precise movements that she was about to lose her mind with wanting him. It was beginning to feel like torture to her. She couldn't take anymore then she begged for it, "Schmidt, I need you."
Smiling with a devilish smile that melted her heart, he leaned up and covered her mouth entirely with his as his hands sought her beautiful body. And as their limbs entwined, their hearts came together as one.
He entered her slowly at first and then he began to move in and out of her warm body knowing exactly how to please her. "Oh, yes," he murmured filling her to the hilt, withdrawing and then back into her again.
Cece was climbing toward that goal, kissing him and loving him, stroking his back his neck, his shoulders, every where her hands could reach. They would not be still and then it happened. They both came at the same time, clutching each other close, both breathing heavily and their bodies soaked with sweat and feel totally satisfied.
After their heartbeats had slowed to their normal rhythms, kisses were given freely over and over. They wondered when they could do it again.
He slowly began to leave her body, but she was not having it and so she raised his chin and kissed him, her tongue swirled inside his mouth and then she felt it. He came alive once again.
"Show me … again." Her smile was blinding.
And he did.
The end!?
