| "Wow that sounds interesting, how did you get started doing that?" I relaxed and told him all about it. "I like my work, now. When I dealt with the patients I would get too attached and when they eventually passed away I would be devestated. I can still help people who are sick without all that to deal with now. Plus the gym is empty when I train during the day." "Damn Jessie, you work out too? You should be dropped from sheer exhaustion!" "Aww, it keeps me busy.." I blushed. "Hey, what about you? your schedule can't be a walk in the park.." I said. We talked for a long time, learning about each other's lives and families. His sounded almost perfect. When there finally came a lull in the conversation, I noticed the time. "Taylor..do you reallize that it's FIVE o' clock in the morning?" I asked. "Yeah, but I can't seem to tear myself away from here.." he grinned at me. "Won't somebody miss you?" I asked him. "I am hoping you will when i can finally bring myself to leave here." he stated. OMG! What? "Taylor.." I began, but he was looking so intently at me I stopped and stared at him, drowning in the blue of his eyes. "Jessie, I.." he started and then leaned down toward me. I looked up at him and saw his eyes so beautiful and blue, looking directly into mine. They held me there as if time was standing still. I looked at his beautifuuly shaped mouth with soft looking lips and lifted my chin slightly. He lightly grazed his lips on mine and it was like an electric shock pulsing through my body. I kissed him back and he moaned and kissed me more deeply, parting my lips with his tongue as I felt the fire begiining to stir inside me I kissed him back and snaked my hands up into his gorgeous silky locks, reveling in the feel of him so close to me, the smell of him, the feel of his chest against mine. |
| Taylor wrapped himself around me as our kiss became more passionate. I felt his hands sliding up my back and pulling me even closer in. I met his kiss even more fervently, losing myself in the sensations he was causing me to feel. I felt as though we were floating together, there was nothing else except the two of us intertwined, hearts racing to the same beat. He kept his hold on me and I melted into him, the heat of his searching, hungry mouth warming me to the pit of my stomach and speading throughout my body. He broke the kiss and began planting tiny ones on my cheeks, forehead and chin, working down to my neck. I sighed and let my head fall back, loving the feel of his soft, wet lips on my skin, my hands never leaving the glorious silky mane of his hair. I could feel my breath coming more rapidly now, and I was aware that the rythym of his breathing matched mine. His kisses on my neck became more demanding and I felt his tounge taking in the taste of my skin. "mmmmm....." escaped my lips, which spurred him to intensify his exploration of my skin, from my neck to my shoulders making a trail down my arm, toward my fingers, he took my hand in his and gently kissed the top of it, then gave each fingertip a small wet kiss, he turned my hand over and kissed the palm of it, then grazed it lightly with his tongue and trailed his way back up my inner arm, to my neck again. "Jessie, " he whispered, "you are so beautiful.." and once again took my mouth with his. I returned his kisses with my own hungry, eager mouth. I knew I could never get enough of this if I lived to be 100 years old. |
| "Taylor..." I whispered back when he broke away to make the same trail with his now, hot, searing mouth, along my other arm. Then suddenly I couldn't speak anymore. He had sucked my pinky finger into his mouth and drawn it back off slowly, only to do the same to the rest. He pulled me close to him and kissed me again, and I felt like I was drifting on a calm sea, the scent of him was even too much for me to bear. His fingers traced the neckline of my tank along the front, lightly skimming the soft flesh of my breasts, causing me to shake with anticipation, when suddenly came the loud grating intrusion of his cell phone ringing. "Damn!" he muttered, "That's probably Ike, Jess, I better answer it." I flopped back on the couch trying to catch my breath. I was both irritated and a little relieved. I had been so close to letting him go as far as he wanted, but for pete's sake, what would he think of me if I did THAT? "Yes, Ike, I know what time it is, " I heard Taylor saying rather irritably. "I know what our schedule is...yes..for god's sake Ike would you get over it? I am 23 years old! I will be where I am supposed to be when I am supposed to be there. Ok?" he growled. "How's Zac?" he asked. Then he chuckled, "Well you won't have to reschedule on my account, but you'd better wait for Zac to finish sleeping it off...huh?... Oh yeah, she's fine I didn't want her to drive her car so I brought her home safe and sound. I'll be here a while longer though, I'll grab a cab and see you soon ok? Yes..ok...bye." He flipped the phone shut and turned to me. "Sorry Jess, Ike thinks he's our mother sometimes...butwe do have a magazine interview to do tomorrow..I mean..this morning." I giggled and said, "Ohh yeah Zac will be in GOOD shape for that!" He joined in my laughter... "we may have to reschedule for him... but then that would mean we'd be here another day.." he added seriously. "I want to spend so much more time with you, Jessie." "I'd like that too, but you do have other obligations," I said. "I am tired of obligations already," he groaned, "I'd rather be here." "Taylor?" I began slowly, "where does that leave me when you have to go?" |
| Taylor looked at me for a long moment. He was silent so long that I was beginning to get nervous. I wondered what he could be thinking, but all I could come up with was BAD. "I'm sorry, Taylor" I began. "I know what your life is like...." "NO Jessie, no it's not that..." he broke in. "I want to see you again, I do. I was just trying to figure a way to make it work." He pulled me back into his arms. I felt a little better, but it was still a hard thing to grasp. I knew I could fall in love with this man, but I also knew what kind of life he lived and I knew it would not be easy. He was stroking the back of my head softly, and already our breathing was matched. I let my head rest on his shoulder, absorbing the sound of it, making sure to lodge it deep in my memory, for the lonely days I knew were coming. Taylor tilted my face up to look at him. I couldn't help holding my breath, his eyes were so intense. I felt as though he was looking straight into my soul. "Jessie, I will find a way, I promise." he stated. "I already miss you and I haven't even left yet." he sighed. I let out a sigh to match his. I opened my mouth to say something and quickly closed it. What could I say? Taylor gave me another of his intense stares, the one that made me go weak at the knees and my heart pound out of my chest. "Jessie, will YOU miss me?" he asked pleadingly. I felt my heart catch in my throat. "taylor , you must know that I will.." I said quietly, and dropped my gaze. "Jess, look at me..." I looked up not wanting him to see the tears that were welling up in my eyes. "Tell me," he whispered. "I need to hear you say it." His eyes were dark, and they were practically begging to hear the words. |
