Chapter 6
It was 2 hours later Nikki woke up , she gasped for air. Victor jumped up scared, he went to run and get Mary.
"Wait I'm ok, I just couldn't catch my breath for a moment"
"Nikki I should get Mary, she would know what to do"
"Victor no I'm fine, she can't do anything but give me more medication. I don't want that, come sit beside me for a moment". Victor walked over holding her hands, they were ice cold. She touched his face, "Victor do you remember the song you danced with me, it was a night just before I met Deacon"?
"Song I'm not sure what you are saying"?
"Remember that night we were talking about our life, and all the heartache. You were over, we had a drink, and we danced , you don't remember the song"?
"Yeah I do, but why bring that up now"?
"I want to dance to that song, having you in my arms that night was so special. I remember letting you walk out the door that night, and it felt like I made the worst mistake of my life. You asked me if I wanted another chance with you, and I said we had to many already? I didn't really mean that, I wanted you to fight for us, but you walked out the door".
"Nikki I asked you if we stood a chance, and you said no. I didn't want to walk out the door. I just thought it was for the best, I didn't want to force you into anything".
"Victor I have loved you since the first day we met. Oh I loved Deacon, he was really wonderful, but my heart was always with you, and it will be until the day I die".
"Shh don't say that word".
"Victor you know it is going to happen, the time we have left lets live it to the fullest". Victor smiled, "I would love to dance with you, but we don't have that song"
"Yes we do it is in my CD player right this moment".
"Yeah right". Victor got up, walking over to the CD player. He laughed, "OMG Nikki it is do you listen to this a lot"?
"Probably a couple of times a day, even Mary is sick of it".
Victor smiled, "You want to dance Nikki, you are so weak"?
"You will have to hold me up, but I want to dance, soon I won't have the chance".
Victor turned the CD player on walking over to Nikki. He helped her up, but he had to pull the IV pole close. She leaned into him, she had no energy, he had to completely hold her up, but she put her hands around him. He whispered, "shut your eyes, and remember that night so long ago".
She did, and remembered the night they danced. She wasn't sick, and she remembered how he felt, and how he smelled so good. They danced to "Always on My Mind ", by Elvis Presley.
He shut his eyes, he wanted to remember that day too. He listened to the words to the song.
He sang to her, as she clung to him, listening to his voice.
"Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time.
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.
Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times,
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm sorry, I was blind.
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind,
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm sorry, I was blind.
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind
The song ended, he kept her in his arms. She whispered, "Don't let me go Victor, this feels so right".
He held her close, and whispered, "I will always be here Nikki, I wasted so much time already.
