The next morning I woke up before Dave so I got the coffee pot put together and headed to mine and T's room to get dressed for the flight. I washed my face and put my glasses on before I brushed my hair. I put on jeans, another pair of smurf socks, and a white shirt. I took out my brown leather jacket and pink boots and packed up the rest of my stuff. I put my jacket on top of my suitcase and my boots beside it. I headed back into Dave's room as the coffee was finishing. I was pouring a cup when I heard movement from the bed.

"Aww damn you're already dressed," Dave said as I turned around.

"We don't have time. I need to wake Taylor up. This is for you," I responded with as I handed him the coffee. He took it and then grabbed my wrist before I could walk away. I turned around and he put the coffee on the night stand before pulling me into his arms.

"Good morning," Dave said before he leaned in and kissed me. He put one of his hands on my cheek as he kissed me passionately.

"Good morning. Ok I gotta go wake up the lion but I will take seconds of that when I come back," I said back.

"I'll be waiting," Dave replied with a wink as I got up and walked out of the room.

I woke Taylor up and he went to shower. I went back to Dave and we had a cup of coffee together and a short make out session. Dave got dressed and went into the bathroom to call home when Taylor came out of the bathroom. Once we were already to leave, we headed downstairs to check out. When we were done, we got in the car and headed to the airport. On the flight home, I sat beside Dave again with Taylor in front of us this time. Dave tried to hold my hand a couple of times but a flight attendant would walk by every time. I smiled at him to let him know I saw what he was doing and he responded with a wink. When we landed, we got our bags and headed to the car. Dave told me to get in first, which I did and then he got in after me. Once Taylor was in the, we headed off to 606. As soon as the car pulled away from the curb, Dave grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I smiled at him as he kissed the back of my hand. We would be seeing each other at the Christmas party tomorrow night and on new years eve but we wouldn't be able to do things like this. Before we got to 606, Dave leaned over and gave a deep passionate kiss. I hated these moments, where the world felt like it falling apart and I didn't know when we'd be together again. Once at 606, we went our separate ways. Taylor drove us to mine and Abby's place while I sat in the passenger seat crying. I felt stupid for doing it but Taylor didn't mind. I was finished by the time we got home.

"Sorry for crying but also thanks for not saying anything," I said as Taylor parked the car.

"It's fine. Better here then in there where Abby will be worried about you. What are you doing on Christmas night?" Taylor asked as he took the keys out of the ignition.

"Probably sitting at home alone with an assortment of frozen foods. Why?" I asked back.

"Alison has the kids for the morning and Abby and I are hanging out here for most of the morning until Abby needs to start the turkey. Why don't you come over to dinner after the kids, Abby and myself are done opening presents. I don't want you spending Christmas alone," Taylor said. I couldn't help but smile but my eyes also teared up.

"I'd love too Taylor. Thank you," I replied.

We hugged each other briefly before we got out of the car. Taylor took both of the bags and I thanked him again. When we got inside Abby hugged me before jumping into Taylor's arms. I grabbed my bag and headed upstairs while they had their reunion. I put my suitcase on the bed and started unpacking. I plugged the light in that Dave had given me once I was done unpacking and put on the hoodie after I took off my jacket and shirt. I took off my boots and grabbed my smokes, a lighter, headphones and my phone and headed downstairs. I was outside when I put my hand inside the hoodie pocket. I felt a folded up piece of paper. I pulled it out and opened it. It was a note from Dave.
