Summer Breeze

Chapter 14~ Meant To Be

I shake Ammon from my mind, figuring that I would call him when I got back to the hotel. I snuggled closer to Brady and he wrapped his arm tighter. The sun was just peeking over the horizon creating a orange and pink sky. I couldn't believe how perfect everything felt, being here tonight. Until Ammon creeped his way into my mind.

Just then Brady broke my thoughts by kissing me on the cheek. " I don't want this moment to end, but. I've gotta get home. Can I drive you back to your hotel?" he offers. "Oh um, yeah sure" I replied having been lost in thought. "Tonight was amazing. Thank you" I said to him as he helped me down from the roof. "No thank you! I'm so glad that you caught my volleyball yesterday. Wow was that only yesterday? I feel as if I've known you for forever." He rambles as the we walked to his car. "I know I can't believe it either." I said after he closed the car door.

We were stopped at a red light and Brady turned to me. "You know, I don't think it was fate that brought us together. I think it was always meant to be." I gasped. Didn't Ammon say something like that to me? I push that thought out of my mind. "Really? What do you mean?" The light turned green and he continued to drive. "Well, I don't know how religious you are Tammy, but I think that God put you in my life for a reason. Now that I've found you, the tasks is to find out that reason. And I think I already know."  I wondered what he meant by that, but decided to answer only his first question. "Actually, I am pretty religious." he looked at me and smiled. "You know, I had a feeling you are. What religion do you follow?" "Well, I'm Mormon. I'm not sure if you know much about it, it's what Ammon is als-" Shoot. I mentally slap my forehead. Now he's going to question how I know that, and then I'll have to explain. "Actually I do know a lot about it, but that's because I am Mormon also. All the other guys are too; we're in the same ward." phew. I sigh, that's a relief. "Wow really? Small world." I say, as we pull into the hotel's parking lot. I point him in the direction of the room I was staying in and he parks. "But really, tonight was one of the best nights I've ever had, Tammy." "Same here" I say as he leans in and kisses me again.

"Thank you!" I say as I wave to him. I run up the stairs to our room, but stop halfway up.  "I need to call Ammon" I decide. I sit down, and dial his number. It rang and rang but no body picked up. I sent a text asking if he could call me back when he was available. Not wanting to go inside yet, I wait a few minutes before calling again. This time when it got to his voice mail I figured to leave a message. His voice came on and I started to panic. I had no clue what I was going to say to him, or why I was even calling him. What am I going to- I got cut off by the beep.

Uh, Hi Ammon, it's Tammy. But you probably knew that, Unless like you deleted my number, and I wouldn't blame you. I mean, I saw you tonight, and I know what you saw. I wish I could say it wasn't what it looked like, but it was. And I'm sorry, but can we please talk?  If you want. or like,

I was rambling now and needed to stop before I said something I would regret.

I don't know  call me back please? okay, um. bye now.

I hung up, put my phone down and threw my head in my hands."You did not think that one through" my subconscious told me. Man was I tired of her always being right lately. Just then my phone buzzed with a text message. I grabbed it immediately and then didn't look at it. What if it was Ammon? What would I say to him? "I'll just tell him the truth" I decide on. "Wait what is the truth though?" I say out loud. I looked at the text and it was from, Brady? "I just left him, what could he want?" I wonder. 

Brady: Hey Tammy, I know I just dropped you off but I forgot to ask you something... :)

"His text message smiley faces weren't nearly as adorable as Ammons" I think to myself before answering.
