Taylor heaved in breath after breath whilst trying to keep control of her inner teenager.
She wanted to be grown up and mature about this, to offer Travis and his companion the opportunity to explain what she was sure was an innocent situation but the part of her that over took from time to time, the part that screamed and shouted and threw tantrums was forcing its way to the surface and Taylor knew that part of her was pretty hard to control.
The look on Travis' face when he had spotted her almost made her laugh out loud but instead she continued to draw in breath after breath whilst leaning on the car, using it to ground her to the spot instead of dragging the redhead from the car and scratching her eyeballs out
"Tay!" Travis had exited the car and was heading towards her whilst she was fighting the war in her head and as his hand came down on her shoulder her hand flew up and slapped his face. The look of shock was almost as comical as his look on realising she was stood watching him had been
"Travis!" the redhead slipped from the car and tottered in Travis' direction on heels 2 inches to high for her and Taylor clenched her teeth together and then closed her eyes, willing herself to act rationally, begging the red head not to give her a reason to lose it but as 'Jessica Rabbit' reached out and clasped her hands onto Travis' beautiful face her resolve to act reasonably faded away
"Wow" Taylor rubbed a hand over her face "Wow, wow, wow"
"Travis, you didn't tell me you had a little sister. Does your mother know how violent she is?!" The redhead turned and stared daggers at Taylor but Taylors fuse had already been lit with the accusation of being nothing more than Travis' sister
"Do I look like his sister???"
"You look like a teenager throwing a tantrum, what the hell is your problem?!"
Taylor let out a low laugh and Travis released his grip on his cheek as he stepped towards her
"Tay... This is not what you think"
"No" Naomi interrupted "This is just me and my boyfriend getting reacquainted, it really doesn't involve you at all"
"Your what?" Taylor choked out whilst turning towards Travis "Your what... Travis?!"
Travis looked like a deer trapped in the headlights as he looked between Taylor and Naomi
"Tell her Trav" prompted Naomi whilst reaching out and wrapping her hand around his forearm
"Come on Trav" coaxed Taylor "Tell me"
"Uh okay... This is um... awkward to the max. Uh... So... Taylor, this is my ex girlfriend Naomi, Naomi, this is my current girlfriend, Taylor "
"Anyone want to tell me why it's the ex girlfriend that's plastered all over you and not the current?" Taylors hands were on her hips as her foot tapped hard against the ground, the rhythm intended to her to keep control of her temper but it was failing miserably
" Ex??? " Naomi looked to Travis in surprise, "Trav, you havent spoken to me since you came back here, how can I be an ex??? You never said our relationship was over, we never even had that discussion"
"Naomi, I said when I left that we needed to cool It"
"Cool it not end it! And for what? For the little girl throwing a strop in front of us right now? Really Trav, this is what you want for yourself?"
"I um..."
"Travis..." Taylor walked up to him and placed her hand hard against his chest "You don't have to say anything"
"Tay..." his eyes were soft as her took her hand in his
"Because I'm not doing this. You are dumped you fucking piece of shit" throwing his hand back to him Taylor strutted to the redhead before looking her up and down "he's all yours 'Jessica'
" Taylor!" Travis leapt to her side, his hands gripping tight against her shoulders
" I gave you a chance, I ignored everything Jason told me, thinking I knew better but the second my back's turned you are all cozy in a car with your ex"
"We didn't do anything"
"But you were going to do something, her hands were on you, your face was headed for hers. I'm not dealing with this shit. You and Jessica deserve each other and I deserve better"
***************
Smothering her head with her pillow Taylor attempted to control her torment
Travis was gone.
That beautiful being she had fallen for so quickly and trusted so blindly was back where he belonged, in the arms of an older, more sophisticated female.
God she wanted him, every time her eyes caught site of him her panties pretty much disintegrated but she wanted more than that, she wanted his honesty, his trust, she wanted to know that even though he was holed up in a car with an ex-girlfriend she was the only thing on his mind but she hadn't been, she saw the moment of hesitation as his exes lips descended towards his. She saw the way his eyes fluttered shut before she brought her hand down hard on to the bumper.
One way or another some part of him had wanted his ex and no matter how hard it was, no matter how loudly her heart screamed at her to change her mind she couldn't
She wouldn't be second best to anyone.
Travis had a girlfriend he had messed around with and then discarded and that fact alone sounded alarm bells in her head.
Jason was right...
Travis wasn't the guy for her...
Fighting back the sting of tears whilst loneliness pooled in her gut she took in a huge breath and as the breath crossed over her lips in its exit move she couldn't help but wave goodbye to Travis, to their moments together, to every fire he ever lit within her soul
