The last time Lucas had taken me out he had sent me clothes to wear, this time I found was no different. By the time I had made it home from work, there were two packages on my counter. Like a little kid, I put my keys and purse down and began ripping into the packages opening the bigger one first. The dress was a dark taupe color that had a halter neck with a ruched thigh on one side. I already loved it, it was simple, yet still sultry. The smaller package had a pair of cutout leather sandal heels that were embellished with crystal details.I knew it wouldn’t be long before Lucas would arrive so I quickly ran into my room and took a quick bath not wanting to worry about having to dry and straighten my hair. After I bathed I dried off and put lotion on before pulling on a pair of thongs and a strapless bra. Starting on my makeup I went for a smokey eye look using glittery gold to bring out some color My blush and lipstick were a simple nudish pink color that made the wh

Lucas had lead me upstairs to his room sitting me down before going to run water for me a bath. I still wasn't quite sure what to think about him. I had so many questions, but as much as I wanted to run from him it was him who I wanted to run to. He had left me alone to bathe, I guess he understood I needed time to myself. I had no doubts that he was waiting outside the door for me.I closed my eyes letting the hot water soak into my skin, he had put some kind of oil in the water that smelled of lotus flowers and cedar. I only knew the smell because I had read the bottle that he had left out but the stuff made my skin soft. It didn’t hurt that he had turned the jets on for me.Sighing I wondered if I could accept him for who he was. I wasn't even sure if I even needed to stress about him. He hadn’t made any commitment to me, I mean all I was to him was....hell I didn’t even know. How could I decide what to do when I didn’t even know how he felt

Lucas had only been out of town three days and I was missing him like crazy. He had called every night but it wasn’t the same as having him here. I hadn’t realized how attached I had become to him until he was gone. Jack had given me the week off and instead of being excited like I should have been, I found myself wishing I had it to distract me.I was actually ready to go to my parents for Thanksgiving just to get away. My bags were already packed by the door ready to go for in the morning. As of last night, Lucas didn’t think he would be able to be home before Saturday so I was glad I had decided to spend the night with my parents. They at least would keep my mind off of things even if they did drive me crazy. I wondered if Cody would be there. Mom had made the comment when I talked to her Monday that he had started coming around again.Laying down in my bed I looked down at my phone seeing it was close to 11. Lucas had usually called by now and I w

Time wouldn’t move fast enough, if I had anywhere else to go I would have left my apartment. I knew I could always go to my parents but I just couldn’t, I wasn’t ready. They would have questions, they would want answers and I couldn’t give them anything. And what about Cody? He would only remind me about how stupid I had been as if he was innocent in all of this.It was two before I heard the knock at my door. I didn’t bother getting up, I knew it was Lucas and I knew he could let himself in. I remained sitting on the couch staring out the windows at the city in front of me. Lucas was quiet as he walked in. I refused to look at him as he sat down in the chair that sat close to me. From my peripheral vision, I could see him put his head in his hands as he leaned down resting his elbows on his knees.“Taylor...” he sighed sitting up running his hand through his hair looking over at me. He looked up a the ceiling letting out a dee

“Taylor look at me,” his tone demanded my obedience but even so I slowly lifted my gaze back to his. Once our eyes connected he arched his brow, “I asked you a question, Taylor. What do you want?”My eyes went back to the ground as I suddenly felt overheated. Realizing I had never taken my jacket off I shrugged out of it throwing it over one of my arms. Hearing Lucas let out an aggravated breath I looked up seeing he was still waiting on me to answer his question. I looked back down moving my weight from one foot to the other, “I just wanted to know why Lucas?”He snorted, “why? Why now Taylor?”I took a breath feeling as if my jacket suddenly weighed a ton. Laying it down on the back of the chair in front of me I pulled my purse off and sat it in the seat. Looking back up I saw Lucas watching me looking unamused at my stalling. I shrugged refusing to keep eye contact with him, “because I need to hear it from
