small town love

moments

later that night, taylor had fallen asleep on the couch while he was watching baseball.

I grabbed my phone and walked into the hall to call chase.

"hello?" he said

"hey Taylor's asleep. he didn't tell me what happened. all he said was 'he's gone.'" I told him softly

"he left a note on the kitchen table saying 'I'm running away. the kids are old enough to where they don't need me. I'm getting all new contacts and a new life so don't bother me.'" he said.

"but why?" I said.

"you think I know? his mom wants to see him as soon as possible. I know he doesn't wanna come but his mom needs all her boys just like ours did. get him here however you can and do it soon ok?" he said quickly.

"I'll try. he's sleeping. he hasn't slept like this in a while and I don't wanna wake him up. imma probably go sleep too." I told him.

"ok just as soon as possible ok?" he said.

"yes. ok. bye." I said.

he hung up the phone and I walked into the main bedroom. I laid on the bed and looked at him. I could always tell when he was about to wake up.

his eyes drowsily opened and I smiled.

"morning honey." I said.

he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. "fall asleep with me." he said as his eyes closed again.

"taylor you mom needs you. chase told me to get you home as soon as possible. you can sleep in-" he cut me off

"I don't wanna go back there. I already told you that." he said sharply.

"I know but taylor your mom needs you. your brothers want you home. their most worried about you because they know how you get. you gotta go or else you can't stay with me. you're ganna have to move back into yours." I told him.

"fine. can you pack my bag please?" he said sweetly.

"yes but you gotta go take a shower." I told him as I threw him a throw pillow.

"one more thing." he said.

"what?" I groaned.

he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. he kissed me and his hand cupped the side of my face.

I pulled away and smiled. "go shower love."

I rolled away with a smile on my face. I walked though the bathroom and into the closet. I grabbed my white Nike duffel bag and his black one.

I walked into the bathroom to get travel shampoo and conditioner.

taylor was taking off his shirt to reveal his perfectly toned abs.

"damn boy. since when did this happen?" I said laughing.

"summer before junior year." he said as I was packing clothes in the closet.

I laughed and about three minutes later felt his arms wrap around my waist.

"taylor go take a shower." I said as I smiled.

"come with me. I need help washing my hair." he said as I turned around.

I put a hand on his chest and the other around the back of his neck and whispered "I'm packing."

"it can wait. just come on. I need some right now. please. it's not like it hasn't happened before." he said softly.

"I know taylor but not right now. I'm packing and then we're leaving. just please go get in the shower." I told him as I turned back around and took out three pairs of compression shorts, basketball shorts, and three tee shirts to put in his bag.

"I'm not going unless you're going." he said refusing.

"if I go, I'm wearing a bathing suit." I told him as I grabbed my bikini.

"do I have to wear compression shorts?" he moaned

I grabbed a pair and threw them at him. "have fun love." I said laughing.

I walked to my side of the closet and picked out two pairs of Nike shorts and then a nice pair of denim shorts. I picked a pair of brown wedges and a white cutout shirt for the denim shorts and two tee shirts to go with the nikes.

I grabbed a pair of dark denim shorts that were ripped and a baby blue polo tee with my neon yellow nike frees.

I got dressed and then ran out the bathroom so taylor didn't see me.

taylor eventually got out the shower and got dressed. I was drinking a bottle of water when he walked in front of the tv with his arms crossed across his chest.

he was shirtless and tense. he had a pair of black Nike sweats and a neon pair of Nike frees just like mine.

"aw look babe! we're matching." I said pointing to his shoes.

"don't do this Wes. don't act like you don't know why I'm mad." he said.

I walked over to him and undid his arms. "I'm sorry love." I told him.

he looked at me and said "let's go." he pushed past me and to the door.

I ran and jumped on his back. "come sit on the couch real quick."

he did and put me in his lap. "why didn't you come?"

"cause we just started this taylor. if all you want is sex then go find someone else. I'm not doing that. we were both raised better than that and you know it." I told him as I held his hands.

"I just wanna know you love me. you always say it back and not first. if I could put my level of love for you into words I would. I just don't feel you're on the same level." he said as he wiped my hair out my face.

I sighed and looked at him straight in the eyes. I put my hands on either side of his face and kissed him. "I love you so much it's unexplainable. saying I love you just doesn't cut it. I wish I had words but i don't."

he smiled and kissed me again. "I love you too."

we sat there for about ten minutes just laughing and talking.

"let's go babe." I told him as I pulled him up off the couch.

he hugged and kissed me once and then we left.
