Disclaimer: I know they're not mine. I'm old and tired so, PTB, please don't slap me around for playing with your toys.
Summary: Felicia Lang gives Mahone the one thing he needs most to make it through.
Authors notes: I needed to fic badly so I'm writing Mahone kiss ficlets all weekend long. This is the THIRD of the bunch. The other two were slash so they're on the slash comm if you want to read those kisses too.
Shaking my traveling companions for a few hours wasn't easy but I knew when this weeks message read * I have the one thing you need most to make it to the end. * it was important and I'd do whatever it took to get free and meet her this one last time.
It takes me over an hour to find the town and another thirty minutes roaming back roads tracking down the trail of landmarks that finally leads me to the unmarked heavily wooded road where we are to meet.
Sure that I've gone wrong somewhere along the line, the dirt road in front of me dead ending into the drive of burned out farm house long forgotten to the point that tall weeds are now growing up through the wood frame, I'm relieved beyond belief to catch a glimpse of silver paint from her nondescript bureau sedan peeking out from behind one side of the run down structure.
Pulling up as far as possible, tucking my vehicle into the tree line so it can't be seen down the drive, I, knowing quick is safest for both of us, close the space between us for our meeting.
"Lang ... sorry, Felicia, I don't mean to be abrupt when you've already done so much for me but... Listen, this isn't safe for either of us, you know that as well as I do, so why don't you tell me what you have for me and we'll both get out of here as fast as possible. "
She says nothing, not a word, only smiles softly as she steps away from the car door moving to the buildings corner motioning for me to stay put as she looks out down the dirt road beyond.
"I... you said you had the one thing I needed most... what... "
Confused, ready to go after her, I'm stopped dead in my tracks by the click of the car door closing behind me followed by the sound of a soft voice I'd all but forgotten calling my name.
"Alex?"
In and instant I can't breath and my heart is pounding like a jackhammer in my chest.
"Me? Alex? Am *I* really the one thing you need most?"
Turning to face her, seeing her face again ... her beautiful eyes wet with unshed tears, I can do nothing more than nod my response not bothering to hold back my own tears as she steps forward with my mute confession wrapping herself up in my waiting arms.
"Felicia told me..."
Pressed tightly against me, her face buried in my chest soaking my shirt with tears, the words muffled and difficult to hear she says all of the thing I need to hear most.
"She told me everything, Alex. She told me all of it and she says I need to tell you... well ...
I love you, Alex. We both love you. We need you and we want you. Promise you'll stay safe so you can come home to us."
Leaning down whispering * I Promise * as I kiss the top of her head resting gently against my chest I see Lang, her face kind but also concerned as she points silently to the watch on her wrist, reminding me I have to let her go.
" Listen... you have to go now. If you know everything you know it's not safe for you to be with me even for just a few moments. Know that I love you, that want to be with you, both of you, more than anything and ... "
The sound of her footstep crackling against the gravel telling me my is time up I, my fingers laid softly under her chin urging her to look up so I can kiss her soft lips one last time, tell her loud and clear what she needs to hear.
" Know she's right. You, you and Cam .... I'll do anything it takes to get back to you now that I know you want me, Pam, truly are the one thing I needed the most. "
