After the movie I called Colt. We talked for awhile. He told me of his day at work and I told him about dinner and the movie. I left out Travis. I really don't know why.

It was 12:15 when we hung up and I curled up to sleep. Just as I was getting into a deep sleep, my phone dings.

Travis texted me.

Travis: Are you up?

Me: Now I am.

Travis: Can you come outside?

Me: You are here?

Travis: Yes.

I get up and throw on my shoes and hoodie. I tiptoe down the stairs and open the front door slowly.

He is standing on the sidewalk leaning against the motorcycle. God he looks so sexy in that leather jacket and tight jeans! Stop! I tell myself as I walk up to him.

"So talk." I said as I cross my arms.

"Really?" He said angrily.

"Ok then." As I turn to walk away, he grabs my wrists and turns me back around.

"I am so sorry Ally. I just never felt like this before. You make me crazy. These past 2 weeks have been pure hell! I miss you."

"You really don't even know me. I don't know you at all. You scare me!"

"I don't ever want you to be scared of me, baby." He said as he rubbed his palm across my cheek.

"Don't call me baby! I have a boyfriend now. Let's just be civil, since you will be around because of Chase."

"Does your new man make you feel like I do?"

"I don't want to talk to you about that!"

He reached out and snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me close. It happened so fast that I didn't have a chance of getting away. His lips crashed into mine with full force. He deepened the kiss and I parted my lips.

My arms wrap around his neck and he groans. Our tongues mingle until we are breathless.

When we part, we both have to take deep breaths. I lean my head on his chest and close my eyes.

"I can't be without you. Please Ally, give me another chance." He pleaded.

"I can't right now. I am sorry." I walk away and back into the house.

What am I doing? What would Colt think? Is it worth it? I thought as I tiptoed back up to my room.

I get back into bed and curl up. I am so lost. I like Colt. He is so sweet and considerate. Travis is brooding, sexy and makes me melt. I need Jane's point of view on this. I will call her when I go to the store.

I must have fell asleep sometime after 2 am.  I woke up to a knock at the bedroom door.  The door opened and grandpa walked in.

"Are you going to sleep all day?" He asked.

I look at my phone and it is only 9:12 in the morning.  "No, sorry.  I couldn't get to sleep."

"I am making pancakes.  Come down and eat."  He said as he walked out and shut the door.

I got out of bed and headed to the kitchen.  We ate breakfast and I did the dishes.  I went upstairs to change into jeans.  When I came back down, grandpa was sitting in the recliner watching  a western show.

"I am going to head to the grocery store.  I will be back in awhile."

"Ok, there is a  $50 on the counter for the groceries."

I grabbed the money and head out to the car.  I can't wait to be alone to call Jane.  I really need to straighten things out in my head.  She is the only one that ever got me.

"Hey.  What's up" Jane said as she answered the phone.

"I need your point of view."

"Oh no, what did Colt do?"

"Not Colt.  Well, maybe somethings to do with him.  You know I like Colt right?"

"Duh."

"Well, Chase came to grandpa's house with Travis in tow.  I had to endure dinner with him across from me."

"He is like the black plague!" Jane yelled.

"I know.  He said he wanted to talk and explain."

"Don't do it Ally!  It's a trap.  He will reel you back in."

"I think it is too late.  He came by late last night and I went out to talk to him."

"Really Ally?  You didn't think it was a bad idea?"

"I figured we should clear the air, since he will be at my house for Christmas. "

"And what did he say?"

"Basically that he can't be away from me.  He said he missed me.   He did look like he was sad."

"And?  Like that really means anything.  Boys always do that to get their way."

"And he kissed me.  I guess I kissed him back.  I feel so bad doing that to Colt!"

"Don't tell him.  Stay away from Travis as much as possible. "

"Well, Chase is taking me to a frat party after dinner.  He told Travis to help keep an eye on me."

"Don't go."

"But I want to go.  I want to see what college life is like before I go next year."

"Promise me that you will stay away from him."

"Ok, I will.  Thank you girl.  I needed this."

"I got you girl."

"I gotta get off.  I am heading into the store.  Call you later?"  I said as I open the car door.

"Ok, call me after the party."

"Bye."
