((Sorry bout that had to get off quick this morn))
Ellen continued her conversation but frowned at Cole's look, "Wait, you mean that the American team is looking at her? No way, they're coming tomorrow to see her? They say that she has a good chance of making it? Yes I'm excited, yeah see you tomorrow, bye," Ellen got off the phone grinning lept up and threw her arms around Cole excited, "Andrea, has a chance to train on the American team for the olympics!" she squealed.
"Christian do you think I've would have stayed this long if I was going to leave?" Amelia laughed holding his hand.

Christian felt his lungs empty in relief, "So... you're back? Back with me?" His words were full of angst. All he wanted was a reason not to run away from his current life, and Amelia had just given him plenty.
"That's great," Cole said, hugging her back, but not forcing it on her, "That's wonderful news, Ellen."
He held back, and looked into her eyes, "Is there anything I can do to help out?"

"Maybe, but I still have affection for you Christian," Amelia said with a little smile on her face.
"Paul, my ex husband wants to meet you tomorrow during one of Andrea's competition, do you mind going?" Ellen asked blushing a little when she look him in the eyes.

Christian couldn't contain his smiles anymore. He beamed and hugged her, "It's been so long, Amelia," he whispered, "I've been so lost without you."
Cole was reluctant. A day with Ellen's ex wasn't his idea of a good time, "I told you. I'll do anything you want me to, Ellen."

"You have no idea how good that sounds coming from your lips," Ellen said with tears in her eyes and hugged Cole again, "Don't worry, Paul is a good guy."
"I know Christian," Amelia said hugging him back. But she was also a little afraid of him for that reason.

Christian's eyes narrowed, "Whats the matter?" She didn't sound so confident, and Christian knew her temperment well, "What did I do?"
Cole nodded, "So. What about us-... I mean you and me?"

Ellen shrugged and looked at Cole up and down, "Damn you look better then I remember," she grinned, "Not sure yet, I have to think."
"Nothing, at least that you would understand, don't worry about it," Amelia said relaxing and smiling.

'Christian tensed, "That worries me all the more."
"Hey, take all the time in the world. I won't run away this time. I promise."

Ellena' eyes softened and she looked into Cole's eyes and then tentively kissed him before she kissed him more hungerly. How long had it been since she had been attracted to a man like Cole? None, not since she left. Ellen looked into Cole's eyes, "If you start singing Hungry Eyes, I'm going to push you off the building," she grinned gazing at him.
"Quite being my worry wart, believe me things will be better now," Amelia said kissing Christian on the cheek and smiling. "At least for a little while," she thought to herself.

"Howsabout Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes'," He smiled, than ran his hand along her cheek, "I'm kidding. I'm smart enough now not to ruin good moments with my dumb sense of humor. Thats a bad trait I rubbed off onto Christian, unfortunetly."
He hugged her, and took a deep breath, "I gotta say, despite being punched in the head, things are going better then I'd hoped. I never thought I'd get to sleep tonight having you kiss me again."
Christian rested his head on her shoulder, "You're right. You always are. But why didn't you say anything to me earlier? How come you made me think I was nothing anymore?"
His words were pleading, and there was more worry in his eyes than anything, "Were you just gonna let me go?"

"Christian please, time changes everyone," Amelia said looking away from him and then looking at her watch, "I have to be going I have class tomorrow."
"Well, better then, "Your so vain," I guess," Ellen said, "And come on you know I'm not the type of girl to hold a grudge."

"Wait, what," Christian cried aloud, "I haven't seen you in seven years, and I don't know how long it's 'been' for you."
He held her by the waist, and looked into her eyes, "I could give you plenty of reasons why you should go, and I can't really give you any reasons to stay. But stay anyway, Amelia."
He found himself breathless, "I don't want you to leave me again so soon."
"'Not the type of girl to hold a grudge', huh," Cole raised his eyebrow, "It seems both of us have changed a bit then."
He took both her hands in his, "You have no idea how happy I am to be standing here with you again, El'. There was a long time when I thought I'd never be able to be with you again. I wasn't sure you wanted to see me!"

"Well you were one of the reason for my divorce, so it's logical that I'd come back to see you once and a while," Ellen said.
Amelia sighed, "Christian you're so over dramatic," she said rolling her eyes but wrapped her arms around his neck anyway.

"Gotta be dramatic," he said, "Otherwise, I come off as droll and boring. At least let me walk you home?"
Cole tilted his head, "Me? What reason could I have given you? The last time we talked, it didn't really end too well if I recall correctly."

"Because I love you, and Paul realized that and didn't want me to be unhappy so we got a divorce," Ellen said sighing, "It's complicated."
"Yep, I'm sure I need your company on the way home, robbers are tricky even against a telepath," Amelia said curling her fingers into Christian's.

Cole looked at her affectionetly, "You loved me? I thought you were mad at me. I didn't have a chance to apologize to you before you left, and I was always afraid you'd resent it and stay mad." His eyes were locked onto hers, "I suppose it shouldn't be a secret than, that I'm still in love with you."
Christian was embarrased for a moment, "No no no, I didn't mean you couldn't handle yourself. I know you can, I just meant it be nice... I mean, I'd like it if I could spend the extra bit of time with you."

"Maybe mad at first, then irritated, then heartbroken when you didn't show up for the wedding," Ellen said her lip quiver and she looked away from Cole's stare, stupid girlish emotioned sometimes they were a bother.
"Christian chill I know what you ment, and it's very kind of you," Amelia said smiling.

Cole sighed, "I wanted to go. I had the RSVP all ready to go to let you know I'd come. But I was afraid of going. I was afraid of what I might do when I saw you up there on the altar. I didn't want to ruin your day," He tried smiling, but remembering times without her made him feel hollow.
Christian thought in stern silence for a moment. Better safe than sorry, he deduced, "Amelia," he stuttered, "I have to ask. I know part of you doesn't know who I am, and part of you does. And I have to ask. How do you feel about me now? I mean, now that you're back, after all this time?"

"I wish you'd had then we could have heisted the limo and made a run for the nearest airplane," Ellen said kissing Cole on the forehead, "Or come dressed as a Hobbit, whichever works."
Amelia bit her lip, "Part of me wants it to be like old times, another part wants for us to start over, and then there's one part that wants me to remember what I've seen of the future and run away, but the first two are currently winning."

Cole laughed, "Hobbit? What in the hell?" He stopped, but kept smiling, "God you're random. Thank god for those eyes," he smiled, "So what the hell was it Christian implied about my death again, now?"
"Well, that's good to hear, but you keep mentioning stuff about the future and me doing things," He said, startled, "What is is that you see, Amelia?"
