small town love

new beginnings

"sit down ok?" he said after telling me that he loved me.

I nodded and then sat down on the couch.

he sat on the coffee table in front of me. "look at me." he said softly.

I did and he said "chase won't care as long as we're happy."

"if we do this I want to start as friends. like go on a date as friends and then if its good, go from there ok? I don't wanna get broken again."

he nodded his head and kissed my forehead. "get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow ok?" he said softly.

I nodded and he walked to the door.

"don't tell chase yet." I said suddenly.

he walked out without saying anything.

the next morning, I woke up at around 10:45 and made coffee.

I was figuring out my classes and what I wanted to take when I heard my phone go off.

it was Taylor. 'hey you up?' he asked.

'yeah. I made coffee if you want some' I texted back.

I put my phone down and then circled all of my classes that I wanted.

I chose the four mandatory classes that you needed to take to get your degree in education.

Taylor texted me back and said 'I was thinking about going get breakfast. do you wanna come?'

'no thanks. I think I'm just ganna chill here all day until practice and then come back.' I texted back.

I heard a knock on my door five minutes later right after I sat down on the couch.

"ugh. no one can leave me the hell alone." I said under my breath.

I opened the door for Taylor and he said "for someone that sounds happy through texts you sure as hell aren't in person."

"shut up." I said sipping my coffee.

he was in a pair of navy blue sweats and a white tee with a red SnapBack. he didn't have on any shoes.

"hey is your practice at 3:45?" he asked me.

"yeah why?" I said back as I watched 'the proposal' on tv.

"same time as mine." he said as he stood in front of the tv.

"get out of the way before I beat your ass." I said with a smile on my face.

"come try." he said grinning.

I put my coffee down and then walked over to him.

I took his SnapBack and put it on my head.

he ran after me and tackled me. he broke my fall and I laughed.

we were laying there side by side when he looked at me.

he rolled over and then propped himself up on his elbows.

I looked up at him and then he wiped a piece of hair out my face.

I looked at him and then he kissed me.

the kiss heated up and I threaded my fingers through his hair.

I pulled away and then looked at him.

"we're in it together or we're not in it at all." he said softly.
