The Taxi Driver

Chapter 12

He pulled away. She felt around looking for the lips that were just on her lips. She had his hair wrapped in her fingers. She pulled on his wet hair lightly. As if she was a baby searching for her bottle. She found his lips and kissed him again. He kissed her back for a brief moment and pulled away. Once again she searched. He pulled away completely. Her arms now down at her side and light wind in the air with light rain. "No." He said looking down and backing up. "No. No." He said. She smiled as if drunk or something. She searched again and nothing. He looked at her.Chest going up and down as she tried to catch her breath. She wiped her mouth and slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at distance between them and then at him. Tears started to prick her eyes. She covered her mouth as the event that just happened started to kick in. He just looked at her. "No!" She cried and ran off. "Laura wait!" He called but she was already down the hill. She ran about as fast as a cheetah. Faster than lightening flashes to be exact.There his love fled and he couldn't do anything about it.

The storm started to become rough. The house's windows flew open. Stormie walked over quickly trying to shut it. As she did, she noticed her run by. "Laura?" She called. The girl didn't even look back. She noticed she had tears in her eyes. She shut all the doors and windows as more rain started to pour down. She picked up her phone and called him. "Why is Laura running in this awful weather?" She as soon as he picked up the phone. "She's what now?" He asked. "What's wrong with her? Why is she crying?" She asked. "Um...Stormie, I don't know. But I'll check out." He said. "Thanks Rocky." She said and hung up.

She locked herself in the house and stood against the door. The images started to flash in her mind. She closed her eyes tightly trying to get them out. She shook her head. "No. It didn't happen. It couldn't have happened." She said to herself. She wiped off the tear. "He couldn't possibly like me can he?" She thought to herself. "Stupid. Stupid." She cursed under her breath. "Baby?" She heard. She jumped. "Dad?" She asked. He nodded."What are you doing?" He asked her. She put her hand over her heart.

He walked over to her. "Why are you all wet?"He asked her. "Please. Give me a minute." She said trying to calm down and quiet her sobs. "What's wrong? Who did this to you?" He asked. "Dad please. Its nothing. No one did anything. I was running in the rain." She said. "Running in the rain!? Are you crazy!? You could get sick." He said. She sighed. "I'm gonna go take a warm shower just to prevent it." She said walking past him. "Wait." He said. She bit her lip and looked back at him slowly. "Yes?" She asked. "Nevermind. Please get cleaned up. Then we'll talk about it and where are the guys I hired?" He asked her. She turned away and walked off.

"So she just ran off?" Todd asked his 'brother'. He nodded and put his head in his hands. "She looked so good with the rain drops in her hair. She looked beautiful. Like I was hyponotised by it. Then she had that one smile I love so much." He said. "But you let her get away?" He asked. "I don't know what she is thinking. What if she doesn't even have an interest in me? Then I ruined our relationship. Our friendship. Everything." He sighed. "No. How many times did you kiss her?" He asked. "Once and the second time she kissed me. I felt it was wrong so I pulled away." He said. He ran his fingers throug his hair once again looking at his brother.

"You didn't ruin anything if she kissed you the second time. That only means she's into you also. If she ran off, she's just in shock from what happened and didn't know what to do." He told him. "I am too. But she had tears in her eyes. Like she..." He trailed off trying not to think about it. He sighed. "No." He mumbled. "Look Ross. Just give her time and he space. If it was meant to be, she'll come around." He told him. He sighed. "You just don't understand. She gives me a feeling I just can't describe." He frowned. "And I thought mommy was crazy for saying she was lovestruck when she met dad." He rolled his eyes. Ross sighed and laid down onto his bed. He slowly started to fall asleep.

"Are you serious?" Rebecca asked Rocky. "Yes. She said she was crying and everything." He told her. "Are you sure?" She asked him. "I'm positive. And I think the storm has calmed down so we should go home and check on her." He said. "We were gonna go home anyway." She rolled her eyes. He chuckled. "Of course we were.Now come on. Lets go before we get in trouble." She said swinging her bag over her shoulder. "No promises." She said and walked off. "Wait! What do you mean?" He asked running out after her.

She sat there as her and her father had a little stare contest. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. She swallowed and looked at him. "Is there a reason why your here?"She asked him. He sat for a moment thinking to himself. She waited patiently. "I thought I'd drop by. Its been a month since I last seen my daughter so I had to come out here and make sure she's okay." He chuckled. She forced a chuckle. "Well I'm fine. Here I am."She said. He nodded and looked away. "There's more isn't there?" She asked. He nodded. "Come home. I miss you. I'm flying back home tomrrow and I'm taking you with me." He said. Her heart sank and she froze. "What?" She said almost as if her voice was taken at that moment.
