hard to love

chapter 32

opies POV 

i woke up and realized tay wasnt in the bed i jump to check what time it was, it was only six in the morning. i heard the shower running, i lit a cigarette and waited for her to get out. she came out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around her, her hair was dripping and on one shoulder. i smiled at her once she looked up at me. 

"morning babe." she said smiling back before walking to the closet to get some clothes out. "morning beautiful" i said walking over to her wrapping my arms around her waist and kissed her neck. i went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. i came out and taylor was dressed and making the bed. i got dressed and just watched her as she danced around the room getting ready. before i knew it was seven and we was going out towards the kitchen. taylor hurried and ate a bowel of cereal and drank some coffee. i sat at the bar with jax and lyla drinking coffee, none of us talking. taylor came out of the kitchen "yall ready to go? i can drive if youre too tired." she said. i shook my head "ill drive you need to relax." we all got up and got in her jeep. no one really spoke on the way to the college, taylor listened to music and tried to relax. 

it was ten am now and i hoped she would be done soon we were getting hungry. jax and lyla were talking in the back but i was focused on the building watching for tay to walk out. about ten thirty taylor walked out, i noticed her call someone. i assumed it was tig, she kept walking towards the jeep and was smiling and nodding. she got in "i passed got a 100. she said i was the only one in years to get a perfect score." she exclaimed "congratulations babe i knew yoyou had it in you." i said leaning over and kissing her. "thats fuckin amazing tay ya book nerd." jax said patting her back. "yes bitch. you worked your ass off for this." lyla exclaimed reaching up and hugging tay around the seat. "thanks guy but lets go eat real fast im starving." taylor told us we chuckled and went to eat. we ate, taylor relaxed for a while then went in to take her next test. a few hours later she came back out but didnt look as happy, which worried me. she got up in the passenger side of the car "i passed. 95 but it still passes" she exclaimed jumping a little in the seat making me laugh. 

i loved the way she got when she was excited. her eyes would light up and i could see my whole world, my future in there. her smile would be so bright and most of the time she would clap her hands together then lock her fingers together, then cover her mouth with them. its like she didn't want anyone to see how excited or happy she was so she would try to hide it some. 

she tried to call her dad but he didnt answer so she texted him. we all talked and listened to music on the way home. 

"lets go to the beach or cabin something this weekend?" taylor said looking at all three of us. "sounds good with me, we'll talk to clay see if he can spare us. the beach sounds good to me." jax told her. i squeezed her thigh "whatever you want babe." i told her with a smile. 

we pulled into TM and taylor was out of the jeep before i put it park. she ran to tig and jumped in his arms. we all walked up to the group as everyone was congratulating her. 

"let go to dinner baby then go home and have some daddy daughter time." tig said pulling taylor into a hug. "sounds fun daddy. can i ride with you i love my jeep but nothing beats a bike." she asked him "of course anything you want."
