Chapter 14

Evan...

(The beautiful Adam Gregory as my idea of Taylor-------->)

**A/N, alas this is the last chapter before the epilogue. Please enjoy the video of John Legend's, "All of Me." I thought it fit our Evan and Taylor,  xoxo**

"Well if it isn't my motorcycyle geek." A whiskey smooth voice drawled from the doorway of my office. A big smile spread across my face as I looked up in surprise from my never ending paperwork to see my friend Micah standing there looking like he just stepped off some glossy magazine cover. 

"Damn, but you are a sight for sore eyes. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" I responded as I got up from behind my desk and met him half way in the middle of my office. Micah opened his arms to give me a hug, and I stepped into the embrace as those massive arms wrapped around me.

"I'm using the midget's wedding invite as an excuse to come and see how ya'll are doing....And it must be good, you grew up and filled out quite nicely." He teased as his wayward hands patted over the muscles of my back and slid down to grip the globes of my ass. "Oh, what the hell, one for old times sake." He smirked and before I could utter a word those firm lips planted themselves over mine and I just closed my eyes and indulged my long time friend for a second. It wasn't until, he playfully started groaning like a porn star did I thrust him away from me and I playfully punched him in the shoulder. I thought I heard a commotion out in the hallway but Micah was trying to hit me back and I shrugged and side stepped him laughing the whole time at his antics.

"You still kiss like you took classes on it, but seriously we can't joke around like that." I warned him, we were still standing pretty close and Micah had one of my hands in his larger one. I was big but Micah was and always has been a huge motherfucker, he dwarfed me by a half a foot at least.

I was getting ready to tell him all about Taylor but Ellie barged into the room with fire in her eyes. At first, I thought she was gearing up to go into histrionics about something regarding her wedding but instead she screeched, "What the hell Evan, waht did you fucking do to Taylor that had him so upset. He was almost mindless as he ran out of here like the Devil himself was chasing after him."

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuckety friggin fuck." Was the only thing that was running through my mind as my world dropped out from underneath my feet. And I meant that literally because Micah had to rush forward and haul me up when my knees gave out and I almost face planted on the floor. 

He dropped me onto the sofa on the other side of the room and I grabbed two fistfuls of hair and yanked in a pathetic attempted to get my mind in gear. "No, no, no. He must of seen our lip lock and assumed the worst. God dammit, I need to find him and explain." I hollered as I jumped to my feet and sprinted out the door. I hopped over the spilled pastries that Stan was cleaning up off the hallway floor and my heart sank even more. He must have taken the time out of his busy day to bring me something special and he walked in on what he must have perceived as me cheating on him.

Hell, I haven't done anything to make him feel secure enough in our relationship for him to feel he had the right to throw a fit and cuss me out when he caught us. I have been stalling and thinking of the perfect way to tell him that I love him, that he was it for me, and that he held my heart in this two dainty little hands. I know he's been waiting to hear the words. I have tried my best to show him with my actions, but I know, I know the romantic that he is, he needed to hear those words from my lips and I haven't said them, and now this fiasco. I dodged through traffic as I ran across the street to the bakery, but I had a feeling that he wasn't going to be there and I was right a minute later when Camille, the girl at the front confirmed my suspicions.
