Chapter 12 - Senior Year…of Med School
“I have class, I’ve gotta go.” I said trying my hardest to get out of the bed, it was freezing in the room so it made it harder to leave the warmness of the king size bed that belonged to me. The sheets that wrapped themselves around my body, my cold probably close to hypothermia body keep getting pulled back. Eventually I let my body fall towards the bed. I landed with a thump on the other cold body in the bed.
“Ian I have class, I need to go.” I laughed as Ian began to tickle me profusely in the stomach. I tried to push his hands away but he’s a lot stronger than me. I’ve learned that over the past seven years we’ve been together.
“No! skip class stay with me here.” he said pulling me down to lay next to him. “Please.” he begged smiling at me warily. So much time has passed since when I first started college. Back then I was a newly wed, I just found out about my sister, I had just meet her. Things were changing for me and not for best. But I found my happiness in everything, I stayed married to Taylor through all of it, I still am married to Taylor. A lot of anniversaries and birthdays have passed, a lot of anniversaries and birthdays have passed that I did not spend with Taylor. I always came up with excuse, I’m busy, I have school, I can’t.
“You know I can’t. Besides he’s coming today, I’m supposed to meet him for lunch.” I said rather coldly sitting up. Taylor’s a touchy subject that Ian an I try not to talk about but sometimes there’s no way around it we always end up talking about him at one point or another during the day.
Ian pulled his arm away from me letting me get out of bed. I walked to my closet and pulled out some clothes. After I finished college I permanently moved to Hanover, Taylor stayed in Nashua and started his career. He said he was happy there but he would move here if it meant I would be happy.
“Are you going to tell him?” I heard Ian ask from the bed as I got into the shower.
“I said I would last night.”
“You said that last time.” he said stepping into the shower with me. I turned to face him as the water poured down my body from the shower head above us.
“I know and I will.” I said rubbing my hand up and down his chest. “Why are you so dead set on me telling him?”
“Because it’s been seven years and I’m tired of watching you pretend that your still married to him.” he said grabbing the soap and the loofah he poured some of the soap on to it and began running the loofah up and down my body slowly.
“I love you. I wanna be able to go out in public beyond the limits of Hanover without worrying of him seeing us. I wanna marry you.” he whispered into my ear.
Taylor’s P.O.V.
I woke up early this morning remembering that I have plans to meet Meredith for lunch today near her school in Hanover. I walked downstairs, Kate was at the sink washing a few dishes. I went up behind her putting my hands around her engorged belly. I kissed her cheek before letting go and walking to the fridge.
“You’re going to tell her today right?” she asked me. For the past week since I told her I was going to Hanover to meet Meredith she has been nonstop asking me the same question. The same question over and over again. It was really starting to annoy me. Kate annoyed me more than I could ever imagine. Meredith never used to annoy me. Ever.
She had this way of making everything she did interesting. She had this way when she spoke, it was like she would kind of mumble and whisper just to make the listener lean close to her. It was interesting to hear her speak, the words she used the way the words rolled off her tongue it was fascinating. She is fascinating.
