Love in Heartbreak (Revisited)

***Mavis's POV***

A few weeks past since our dinner together, Sidney and I have both been in-and-out of town due to our jobs. It's amazing since it has only been a short time since knowing one another how much I've missed seeing him and can't wait to get back to Pittsburgh tonight.

After just arriving at my gate I decided to text Sidney for the first time in a few days.

Me: Hey Sid, I just wanted to let you know that I will FINALLY be back in Pittsburgh tonight. My flight is so far on time. I hope to see you soon. :)

I try not to text him too much because I know how it is to be busy, but he has been on my mind everyday even if we don't talk. A few minutes later my phone grabs my attention back from my wandering mind with a notification

Sid: Great! I was wondering when we'd be in town again at the same time. LOL. Do you need me to come get you from the airport? I have nothing going on tonight.

As much as I wanted to say yes so I could finally see him again, I couldn't get myself too.

Me: No, I already have a cab set up but thank you anyways. You're too kind.

I regretted sending that text as I kept daydreaming about the idea of Sidney greeting me as I finally arrive back.

The cab pulls into the driveway after 8 hours of flying and layovers, I couldn't be more relieved to be back. My meetings were nonstop and the things I was looking forward to the most was seeing my sweet baby boy's face and to see Sidney again. As I sneak through the front door fumbling my way through the dark hallway trying not to wake the whole house, I set all my luggage in the room before I slip in to see Sawyer. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps, I can't wait to hug my little man in the morning. I shut his bedroom door as quietly as possible before sneaking down the hall back to my room. I see out my bedroom window that Sidney's lights are still on at his house and grab my phone.

Me: Just wanted to let you know my flight went well and I am home now.

I start settling in for the night when my phone gets an alert.

Sid: I'm glad to hear that. I can't wait to see you.

Suddenly, it was like a pull that couldn't be stopped, I snuck my way down the hallway and back out the front door. I jogged across the small patch of lawn that separates the two houses barefoot and knock on his front door. Seconds pass and the door opens to Sidney standing there in just a pair of sweatpants and a slumber some smile. Before he could even get a word out I rushed toward him through the door, grabbed his face, and pressed my lips against his. He quickly met my energy and grabbed my waist pulling me the rest of the way towards him. I hear the door shut behind me as Sidney continues to pull me further into the house, I start to run my fingers through his thick hair without either of us breaking our kiss. I feel Sidney's hands start tugging at my blouse untucking it from my pants and slipping it over my head pulling us apart only momentarily. I run my hands down his chest, down his abs, towards the waistline of his pants and glide my fingers in and around the band, then slowly slipping them down as he steps out. Without a word, he steps back looking at me with a passionate storm in his eyes he then wraps his hands with mine and leads me up the stairs.

We stumble our way to his bedroom and he starts to undo the front of my slacks, sliding them down over my hips and onto the floor. I start to run my hands up and down his upper thighs. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me to him as close as possible before spinning me around and tossing me on his bed. He falls on top of me catching his weight with his toned arms. I throw my legs up around his waist pulling him closer to me as a shift my hips closer to him. He takes one hand and slides it from my shoulder, over my chest, and down to the waistline of my thong. He starts to shimmy it off my hips as I lift myself off the bed and even closer to his body. Once my thong ends up somewhere in his room, I find my hand running down his back and start to find my way in between his legs.

Then I feel a sudden jolt in the bed, "Mommy! I'm ready for breakfast!" proclaims my screaming 3 year old.

I guess I didn't realize how much that dinner with Sid last night really affected me. As I snap into reality again I grab Sawyer and swing him off my bed as I proceed to get up, "Okay, well what would you like for breakfast then?" "Oatmeal!" responded in an excited tone. Then, the feeling of guilt washes over me as I realize I allowed Sidney to get close to me last night and that was never my intentions. This was all supposed to be for Maggie, I wasn't supposed to be the one looking for someone, I don't have time for another person in my life right now.
Which the screaming 3 year old running down the hall currently should be my biggest reality check. But even with all this I don't want the bond, relationship, flirty friendship--whatever you want to call it with Sidney to stop. I was slightly enjoying having a connection with someone. I can't recall how long its been since I have had that with someone and to have someone actually care what's going on with me.

But this has to stop, I cannot let my own issues get in the way of helping out Maggie right now. I'm here in Pittsburgh to begin with because of her, because I need to help her and this would be a great start to helping her meet people even if she doesn't want a relationship right now. Especially because I won't be able to be in Pittsburgh forever to be here for her. So I need to get my head straight, lock my emotions up, and get the goals straight again.

Whatever is starting between Sidney and I needs to end now and need to shift focus to Maggie again.
