Taylor Lautner The Only One (COMPLETED)

Chapter 19- Are you ready?

I dont really know how long i sat there for. I know my tears had finally stopped all that was left was a deep ache in my chest and throat.

I hadnt just jumped to a conclusion. As much as i didnt want this to be true i knew it was. I was certain.

The sun was now rising, and i realised id been there all night. The tide had drawn back out and i began to feel warmer and less numb as the suns small beams sprayed themselves across my skin.

In the corner of my eye I saw an approaching figure. It was Taylor, I watched as he drew closer then sat down next to me on the sand.

He didnt say anything and i could see him watching my face his brown eyes calculating. Very slowly he reached an arm out and pulled me to him till my face was on his chest and i was leaning against him.

We sat like that for a while then slowly he pulled me up and carried me like a child back home. I must have fell asleep to the soft sway of his walking because the next thing i knew i could feel the soft covers of my duvet and the murmer of two male voices. I recognised them as Taylors and Marlos.

"Why are you two so certain this is even true? I mean you havent even asked him." Taylor said in a hushed whisper. His voice sounding sad and worried.

"She hasnt told you anything. Thats why Taylor, as harsh as it sounds. If you knew you'd understand."

Thats all i heard before drifting off back to sleep.

I woke to the sun beating down on my face through the window. It must be around lunchtime. I was still tired but knew i needed to get up and open the shop.

I noticed Taylors arm was strung over my waist. Suddenly i didnt want to move. I'd missed this. I turned over in his hold and unconsciously Taylors hold tightened pulling my face and body flush and hard against his.

Enjoying this too much to move i stayed where i was, tracing the creases on his forehead. My finger moved down his face to trace his lips which sat in a pout. I felt his chest hum and he opened his eyes. They shone with mischief, I froze caught in the act.

"What are you doing?"

"Erm... sorry..." i felt myself blush as his smirk only grew at my discomfort.

In the silence i remembered yesterdays revelation.

Taylor must have seen the change in my features because he pulled my chin up and looked at me concerned.

"Are you feeling any better?"

I nodded my head. I did feel better, it still hurt like crazy but was coping, thats what mattered.

"I want to talk to him"

Taylors expression didn't change, I guess he had expected for me to say that.

Slowly he nodded, "Yeah, I think that would be a good idea."

"Taylor... look, I get that i haven't really been talking to recently, but the hope that this man was stepping up and being the dad I've always wanted is too much to just ignore. Now, to hear its all just a lie is like the pain of him leaving all over again."

Taylor had been watching me not interrupting. I began to tell him about why I suspected my father as a cheat. He brushed away all the tears that I shed and clung to me as I shook trying to hold it all in. 

Once he was sure I'd finished he got me up still in his hold and placed me in a position so that i was straddling him I kept my arms around his neck playing with the hair at the top of his neck. I felt him shudder slightly when I brushed my hand through the short strands. 

"We're going to figure this out, alright Kylie?" 

I nodded and he leant his head forward so our foreheads touched. Realising I should probably restrain myself before I do something i regret so I hopped off his knees. The cold instantly hit and I watched his face flicker with sadness before he pushed it away. 

"Yep, lets do this." 

I knew being around him was going to be hard, and right now my main priority was to figure out what motivated my dad to do something like this. Distancing myself from Taylor shouldn't be a main priority, but it still was necessary, us, together, was a recipe for disaster.

I fumbled round in my draws for some leggings. After finding them I began searching for a hoodie, the weather today wasn't too hot, and I decided i was going to bring the 'homeless look' back.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Taylor's green Abercrombie hoodie and I quickly snatched it up, adding an evil cackle when I saw Taylor still lying unawares on my bed. He looked up at the sound and noticed his jumper in my hand. But I'm guessing due to my happy/slightly hysterical facial expression he just shook his head and lay back down.

Checking to see that he wasn't looking i quickly changed into fresh clothes and Taylor's hoodie.

Grabbing Taylors hand I pulled him downstairs. I began starting all of the coffee machines and got out some of the baked goods I'd made previously. I then opened the shop, and made Taylor his favourite iced latte. 

This was a waiting game, I knew he'd turn up and I needed Taylor when he did.

It was around 5 when he walked through the doors. Me and Taylor were busy around the shop, he'd gotten good at helping me out and was never in the way. I got up and nodded to Taylor, telling him I needed him behind the counter.

"Hi dad."

He looked up presently surprised and guilty at the reference.

"Hi Kylie, how you doing?" He said, his eyes flickering around the room as he spoke. Then he spotted Taylor, his eyes widened and he looked at me questioningly. 

I ignored both questions and began to interrogate.
