David gazed down at the man he loved with all his heart. He knew true happiness every time he was in Robert’s arms. He wanted to remember him just this way, before it was all gone.
“What is wrong lover?” Robert asked, turning his head to find David looking at him with love and something else. It was this other emotion that made Robert’s heart squeeze tight.
“This is the last time, Robert.” David whispered brokenly.
“Fuck, you are going through with it? Robert growled, tears in his voice.
“Yes, I am marrying her.” David choked out the words.
“Coward!”

Hi Michelle. First. Good job. I liked your take on the picture. that's the best part about FFF. everyone sees something different and brings it too the table. Second. Where did you get that picture of me? LOL The cartoon at the top of your page? Keep Flashing! See you next Friday.
Good job! We had similar thoughts, but I am a sucker for a happy ending. That;s the fun of FFF. Everyone sees something different and brings it to the table. And BTW, where did you get that picture of me? LOL The cartoon at the top of your blog? Keep Flashing! See you next Friday.
Nice one, Michelle! I lived the tension.
He has to take time out and think about what he's doing. How it will affect everyone, including himself and his own happiness. Be true to your feelings David!
Coward indeed, and a few other things besides! Great post!
Wow. So heartbreaking! Nice FFF.
Nicely done!
Leaves me wondering the why behind his decision. Was his family pressuring him? Is it money? Status? Lots of questions.
Luvly - very nice indeed!
Wow! I wasn't expecting that. Poor guy. Nice post!
Ok, so this is going to be their last time together and they're all alone out there in the middle of nowhere - shouldn't they take advantage of the opportunity?
On a serious note, the poor man is fooling himself if he thinks he can deny who he really is. A marriage for the sake of appearances won't last and he's going to be miserable in the end.
Well done Ms. Michelle, I liked it.
