Holding On

Chapter 8

Taylor's P.O.V.

John Barrymore once said happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.

I felt like a teenager again. For the rest of the day Antonio and I spent it together. We went to see a movie, than walked around the park. Then to dinner, afterwards we began walking to the car. It was dark expect for the light posts no one was really around

"Thanks for dinner Antonio. And for also a good day. I haven't had that in a long time"

He nodded at me "No problem. I had a good time too"

I turned to look at him and idiotically I rolled on a rock but instead of falling backwards I fell forward. I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist pulling me up. I chuckled nervously "I'm sorry, I just.." I looked up at him and trailed off. I hadn't realized how close our faces were, only inches away. We were both caught up in words. His eyes locked with mine, with one arm he still held my waist, he brought up his other arm and with his hand brushed a piece of hair behind me ear. The world, everything suddenly felt like it was moving in slow motion. Second by second we were moving closer and closer to each other. Our foreheads were slightly touching and our lips finally met. It felt like everything was electrifying, all I wanted to do was keep kissing him but I knew I shouldn't have. It took my everything to pull away but I finally did

"I uh, I'm sorry" I said looking down and away. I did the only thing I could think of. Run away. I heard him yelling my name but I still ran. Okay well I didn't actually run, more like fast walked. After getting home I walked straight to my room and paced around, I couldn't stop. The kiss was coming into my mind. I kept playing it over and over.

The next day

I walked into work the next day with my head down. I wanted to confront Antonio about what happened but I didn't know how. I mean I was the one who pulled away from the kiss and ran away. I walked through the doors and made my way to the gate to go upstairs

"Hey sunshine"

I stopped and looked at Platt who was looking at me "Me?"

"No the kid behind you, yes you. Come here" She said rolling her eyes back

I approached the desk "What's up?" I said putting my hands on the desk

"This letter came in for Erin Lindsay, go upstairs and give it to her" She said putting an envelope of the desk

"Uh, okay. But why can't you give it to her?" I asked grabbing it

Her eyes lite with fire "Your going upstairs anyway"

I softly chuckled "You know it wouldn't kill you to do a little exercise" I moved away from the desk and shrugged my shoulders with my hands up. I walked through the door and headed upstairs. I know I'm going to see Antonio today so I'm going to have to face him. After walking up I laid the envelope on Erin's desk and walked over to mine to sit on my chair. Mouse's desk and mine were put together, it made things easier

"Hey, can I talk to you?"

I looked up to see Jay standing over the desk. I sighed and stood up to follow him. As soon as I was I notice Antonio walking up the top of the stairs. I laid my head low and followed Jay into the room
