Its been awhile. Sorry but I'm back did any of you guess who it was
Kristen POV
I turned and looked at him. How did he find me?
"Rubert what are you doing here?"
"Well, when you didn't reply to my calls or texts I decided to hunt you down" if Rubert could find me does that mean? I looked around for signs of Taylor but none so far. I calmed a bit but not much this was a professional hitman I was dealing with.
"So what are you going to Atlanta for ?"Rubert asked
"Um, me and Ava needed a vacation"
"From what or should I say who?" Why couldn't he leave me alone for right now. I had better things to worry about than him and his feelings in our relationship.
"Nothing I just thought we take a vacation"
"I see" he looked around like he was looking for something. Or someone. " are you going without Robert" a lump rosed in my thoart at the sound of Roberts name. I still couldn't believe he was dead. I cleared my thoart.
"Yes, we're going without him. He kinda spazed when I told him about the divorce" part of that was true. He hired a hitman for chirsts sake.
"So you told him?" For some reason Rubert thought this new piece gave him permission to put his arm around my shoulder. It felt weird. I found my thoughts difting towards Taylor. And how badly I wanted him to kiss-. Stop. I told myself. I should not be thinking about how I wanted a criminal to kiss me when the man I love is seating next to me.
"Rubert I prefer you not to go with me to Atlanta" when I saw the hurt look on his face I quickly made up a lie. "I just want some quality time with Ava plus I need to explain everything to her"well that part was technically not a lie. he nodded and stood up.
"See you when you get back" I nodded. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips. Then ran off.

Taylor POV
I woke up the next morning on the couch. I went to check on Kristen and saw she was still in bed. I went to check on Ava. She was gone. I checked the playroom, kitchen even the den. I couldn't find her. I went back in Kristens room to see if Ava was in there. I went to shake Kristen and instead of feeling the hardness of a human body I felt the softness of pillows. I yanked the sheet back. Pillows. Why would she run? I've been so nice to her and her daughter. And this is how she repays me. By running. I looked around for my keys. 5 minutes later I still haven't found them.
"Fuck it. I'm just gonna hotwire the shit" I went outside to get in my car only to discover it was also gone. I tracked my car down from my phone. It was a block or so from a rich neighborhood. I called a taxi to take me there. I was going to do what ever it takes to find her.

Ava was asleep in the king size bed that we were sharing in this hotel that I found. I was still trying to figure what I was going to do. I have a 4 year old child, we have a little bit over a thousand dollars left, and I can't go back to work. I want to go live in Ohio but we can't build a life there off of a thousand dollars. I decided to worry about this later. And instead I went to go get into the shower.
I had just got out of the shower when there was a knock on the hotel door. I cracked the door open because all I had was a towel wrapped around me.
"Open the door Kristen. I'm telling you politely" I instantly recognized the voice. Taylor. I immediately opened the door a part of me happy to see him. His eyes glazed over me before he stepped in.
"I'm sorry" I whispered
"For what. For running when I was so nice to you?"
"Yes" he didn't say anything. I walked up to him and without thinking traced his jawline with my finger. He relaxed a little.
"Don't" he said even though I could tell he didn't want me to I stopped anyway. We stared into each other eyes. I leaned up slightly. A few more centimeters and our lips would touch. He leaned down and our lips touched. He kissed me and I kissed back.
