Gabe gets in my car as soon as I unlock it. But I don't instantly get in myself. Instead I turn back to look towards Hunter. He opens his own door and tosses his dance bag carelessly inside the car. Crossing the parking lot I can see him hitting his car with a closed fist, mumbling softly to himself.
It isn't fair... it really isn't fair. She was mine, all those years ago. She was mine.... what the hell do I do now?
I reach out with a hand and tap his shoulder, whispering softly as to not completely startle him.
Hunt, are you okay?
He spins around with wide eyes, instantly pulling me towards him. "Angel..."
Shhh.... Just kiss me Hunter.
He needs no more prodding than that. Kissing me like he was drowning and I am the only thing there to save him.

As we kiss he spins us around pressing me against his car. My arms automatically wind themselves around his neck, his around my waist. By the time we separate we are both breathless. Only then do I realize that my feet are no longer on the ground. While he was kissing me, Hunter actually lifted me off the ground, holding me against his car.
I giggle as I hover in the air. He presses his forehead against mine, whispering softly, "Anderson, what's so funny." I just keep giggling because he doesn't realize what he's done. Finally I am able to get out an answer, although my voice is very breathy because I'm still giggling slightly. "Clarington... I'm tall now..." He pulls back somewhat, cocking his head to the side. This causes his grip on my waist to relax some and I slide slowly down his body until my feet are back on the ground again.
Finally he gets it, face screwing up in a big smile. "Guess I don't know my own strength. But I suppose you HAVE always been my weakness there Angel." I shake my head and push him away gently, although I'm smiling now too. "Apparently. I just can't believe we both forgot everything." Stepping back he takes my hand, essentially freeing me from being pinned against his car. "Shay, Shann... I'm sorry about all of that. That I just vanished on you like that. But it's not like we ever exchanged phone numbers or addresses back then. It was just a given that we would see each other at competitions."
I know...
I'm biting my lip, he reaches out and removes my lower lip from between my teeth. I look up at him and his moss green eyes are sparkling, playful. Voice has a teasing note as he speaks again, "Now Angel, if Smythe or anyone else starts in again about how I swooped in and stole his girlfriend away from him am I allowed to bring any of this up? Because technically you WEREmine first..."
