Chapter 26

"Baby girl, stop trying to be rational. Love is irrational"

"Adam it's too soon to love someone"

"Love at first sight that's proof that love isn't a timed thing."

"Why do you have to be so smart?"

"Because time will do that to you" "Oh by the way, guess who got a promotion"

"You got promoted?"

"Yep now I am second in command for my quadrant"

"Congratulations" I yawn into the phone.

"Go back to sleep. I'll Skype you later this week when I get a chance"

"Love you"

"Love you too" love I couldn't possibly love him. I go back inside and slip back into bed.

It's three in the morning and I haven't slept since Adam called. Slipping out of bed again I put on my yoga pants and running jacket. There's no need to leave a note I will be back before he wakes up.

It's still dark out so I set my iPod to where it is constantly illuminating light. Alright a quick jog around the neighborhood should be good enough. I don't love him, it's impossible to love someone so quickly. Isn't it? I mean it too my mom and dad 6 years before they even admitted they loved each other. It's too early way too early. Alright I run way too fast, it's still too early to go back so I decide to take another route.

By the time I get back it's about 4 so I jump into the shower in the guest room so I don't wake up Will.

"So I'm putting all my defenses up cause I don't want to fall in love. If I ever did that I think I'd have a heart attack I'd have a heart attack..." I step out into the steamy room and wrap myself up before exiting the room. When I am changed and my hair is in somewhat of a bun and dance into the living room. Hmm with Will asleep and no one else around I can dance like I used to when I was a kid. Changing my playlist to my dance playlist I start dancing.

Some say tall people have no coordination and this why you never see them dance in ballet or dance period. But actually it all depends on the person, I am flexible so I am able to get my body to bend and go up on my toes without losing balance.

Okay I'm done dancing otherwise I will need to take another shower.

"Let’s see if I need to go get breakfast" I rummage through the kitchen and find absolutely nothing. Hmm I guess Will and I ate all the food yesterday. Okay its 5 so I can run to the store and be back before he wakes.

At the store I buy pancake mix and eggs, some bacon and biscuits and you can’t forget grits then some orange juice. Oh yeah I almost forgot coffee. Is that everything? I go to check my phone and realize I left it at home. Damn it, okay let’s hope this is everything, we already have milk and butter at the house so fingers crossed I have everything.

The door swings open and Will rushes out and crushes me in a very painful hug.

"Can't breathe" my voice is weak and harsh. He releases me and I take welcome breaths of air.

"Reason to your bone crushing hug?"

"I didn't know where you were and you left your phone"

"I wasn't expecting you to be up yet. Sorry" I lock my car and walk in getting breakfast and the coffee started right away.

"Where did you go?"

"The store"

"How long have you been up?" I flip the last pancake and get the eggs and grits going.

"Oh awhile..." The timer for the biscuits goes off and I shoot him out of my way.

"How long is awhile?" I look at him and he leans against the counter looking a bit annoyed.

"Will is there something wrong?" He shifts his weight to the other foot and bites his lower lip.

"No I'm just curious" you are definitely not just curious.

"Since one" alright breakfast is served. We sit at the table on opposite sides. I put my money on it being so he can study my movements and reactions to his questions that I just know are coming.

"Why were you up that early?"

"My phone was ringing"

"Who called?"

"A guy he professed his undying love to me and vows to win my love" I say it with a straight face and watch as anger flares in his eyes and his knuckles go white as he grips his fork tighter.

"Really now..."

"Oh yeah it was very moving that I just had to go see him so I left here and went to see him" his jaw tightens and his pupils harden. Oh he can fall for anything. Should I keep going?

"It was that Ethan kid wasn't it?"

"Yeah it was Ethan and the best part was once he told me in person we kissed it was wow and next thing I know I'm in bed with him" oh he looks like he is about to explode. My straight face fades and I start laughing so hard it hurts my stomach. He still looks mad but knowing him he will get curious as to why I am dying of laughter.

"I'm sorry I can't go on anymore you looked so mad"

"I am mad!" I stand and go sit in his lap.

“Do you honestly believe any of that?” his eyes are hard showing no emotion except for anger. He doesn’t answer which makes me nervous so I begin to stand up and he grabs my hips pulling me back down. “What?” my tone is agitated and clipped off as he buries is face into the crook of my neck.

“What were you doing up so early then?”

“I was on the phone I already told you that”
