Reformed with Romance

"You're here," I sighed happily. My arms were around Colson's neck and his were around my waist, lifting me from the ground. He held me in the tightest embrace. And all the stress from today just went away.

"I'm here, baby," he whispered in my ear. I pulled back and pressed my lips to his. One of my hands going into his short hair and the other gripped his shoulder. I moaned almost immediately and his tongue dipped into my mouth.

Oh, god. I've never missed someone so bad. I've never needed or wanted someone so bad. And I didn't mean sexually or for more kisses. "I love you," I panted, pulling back from him.

"What?" Colson gasped, looking shocked and putting me down and I bit my lip.

"I love you. I don't know if I ever really stopped," I admitted quietly. "I loved Zac and I thought I was over you... but every time your name was on my phone. Every baby girl... every time I looked at you I craved you, Colson. I love you. I'm so in love with you. I'm so sorry I ever... ever left you."

Colson kissed me again, more passionately. His large hands freezing from the cold outside, gripped either side of my face. I pulled his body against mine, my hands gripping his jacket. I needed him closer.

"Olivia?" I heard a voice. I reluctantly pulled back to see Tom and Jake headed our way. I blushed, stepping back from Colson, wiping my mouth. Oh this was gonna be super awkward. "Colson!" Tom grinned.

"Hey, man," Colson grinned back, walking to meet him halfway and to dap him up with a quick hug. I rolled my eyes and waited for the guys to get closer to me. We were all done for the day. I was in the parking lot. Colson was picking me up.

"Hey," Jake said, giving a wave.

"Colson, Olivia's friend," Colson introduced, sticking out a hand.

"Jake. We work together," Jake smiles, shaking his head before his eyes landed on me.

"Heard a bit about you," Colson smirked. Jake raised his eyebrows shocked before shrugging. "Don't worry, nothing bad."

"Are you and Liv... back together?" Tom asked him. Then his eyes met mine and he started wiggling his eyebrows. I blushed, taking Colson's hand.

"We might be getting back together," I shrugged.

"I took the kiss as a good sign," Colson chuckled.

"He's picking me up. So... we're gonna get out of here," I said awkwardly. "See you guys tomorrow?"

"Yeah, later," Jake smiled.

"How long are you in New York?" Tom asked instead.

"Today and tomorrow. I only have a few days off. But I've been dying to see this one here," Colson told him. "Hey, you want to get dinner with us?"

"No, he does not," I interjected.

"Oh, shit. I'm sorry, baby," Colson chuckled. "Um, how about tomorrow? Liv can share."

I pouted, "I don't want to share but if I have to... I guess I can for one dinner."

"Tomorrow," Tom agreed. Colson and I waved the other two off before getting into his car.

"Wait. Are you even allowed to be driving?" I asked.

"No," he smirked.

"Colson," I scolded, smacking his arm.

"Chill, baby. You're like ten minutes away."

"No more driving for you."

"You know I don't."
