Baby Blue - A Taylor Lautner love story

Reunion - Chapter 45

"JAMIE!" I squeal, running up to him and trapping him in a hug, "I've missed you so much!"

"Hey Zo!" He grins, spinning me around, "I missed you too!"

We kiss each other on the cheek and continue walking in the direction I just came from, "So how have you been?"

"Busy with work,"

"Oh yeah! How's that going?"

"It's great! I really like it,"

"I never really took you for the school teacher type when we were little but oh well,"

"Well, I never though that you'd end up going out with one of Hollywood's most famous actors,"

"He isn't the most famous,"

"One of," He points out, "A lot of people know him... I don't think there would be anyone under the age of 25 that wouldn't know who he was! Even if you do have to call him wolfboy,"

We both laugh and I realize how much I missed him, "Well, I guess you never know,"

"Wait, I'm not done!" He chuckles, "And I never thought you would become and actress and hang around with celebrities instead of your good old Montana friends," He smiles but I can see there is some truth in what he is saying,

"I didn't mean to ditch you all!" I squeal, bumping into him deliberately before he wraps his arm across my shoulders, "I was getting sick of staying at home and I had the offer of staying here with someone I love so I thought why not?"

"What about Rusty and all of your animals? You just got sick of them?"

"Of course not! That makes me seem heartless,"

"Well, you just said that you got sick of them,"

"No I didn't! I said that I got sick of home, not them! They were the reason I kept going back for visits,"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way,"

"I know but- Don't worry,"

"What?"

"Nothing! I haven't seen you in over a year and I don't want to argue," I smile, hugging him once again, "So, how is Maggie?"

Maggie is Jamie's girlfriend, who I've never liked and has never liked me. I told him she was bad news but he didn't listen and now he doesn't notice that she is pulling him away from me. I don't know what it is about me, but she doesn't like me and always avoids me. And where Maggie goes, Jamie follows.

"She's great! She didn't really want me to come here, but oh well, I'm here now,"

I snicker, "I'm surprised she let you go! Did you tell her you were seeing me?"

"Yeah if course-"

"Well, now I'm really surprised!"

"I don't know why you think she hates you-"

"Because she does! It's so obvious!"

"No she doesn't!"

"How are you so oblivious!" I chuckle in disbelief, "She has never liked me! Ever!"

"Ye-"

"Every time we were going to catch up, she came up with a reason why you both couldn't make it,"

"Doesn't mean she hates you,"

"The constant scowl?"

"She scowls at me sometimes!"

"Jamie! I don't care if she hates me! But I do care when she's the reason we never see each other,"

"But I care if she hates you! And it's not all of her fault!"

"I know, but its not all of mine either,"

"I'm not saying it is," He pauses, looking at me intensely, "Okay, so I'm going to ask her if it's true, and from now on, even if she can't come, I will,"

"Okay," He continues to look straight into my eyes before hugging me tightly, his palms pressed into my back,

"I'm sorry,"

"Don't be! Let's go in here, we can sit and talk and drink coffee,"

"You haven't changed have you?" He chuckles, guiding me in with his arm,

"Why would I have changed?"

"Hollywood does things to people,"

"Not me,"

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I pull it out instinctually and check the caller id:

Taylor

"Hey what's up? I told you I was meeting Jamie today,"

"I know, I'm sorry, I just wanted to know what time you'll be back,"

"I'm not sure, I don't have a set time that I will be back,"

"Okay, let me know when you're on your way,"

"Okay... Bye, love you,"

"Love you,"

"Well that was strange," I mutter, smiling incredulously and shoving my phone back into my pocket with difficulty,

"Taylor?"

"How did you guess?"

" 'Love you' was kind of a give away,"

"So of course it had to be Taylor," I chuckle,

"Surely you don't only love one person on this earth,"

"No, I don't," I smile, "I love my mom and Stacey and Michael and you,"

"Love you too," He smirks, "Is that person following us?"

"Probably,"

"Aren't you worried?"

"Nope," I chuckle popping the 'p', "Happens often when I'm out,"

"Right," He chuckles, shaking his head causing his dirty blonde hair to fall in front of his eyes, "I couldn't get used to that,"

"I didn't think I could,"

He smiles warmly at me and calls the waiter over to order our coffees, "The usual?"

"Sure thing,"

"I didn't realize how much I missed you," I mutter, hugging him in between our two parked cars,

He smiles and kisses the top of my head, causing me to stay in his arms longer,

"I have to go, but we will definitely be in touch a lot more now,"

"I'm glad to hear it," He smiles letting me go and opening my car door.

I wave through the window and watch as his figure slowly gets smaller and smaller the further away I get.
