All Chapters of If Tomorrow Never Comes: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

We spent the next few months, touring around the country, and fans started recognizing me. My album was quickly climbing the charts. But all too soon, August came. School was going to start the next week, so I had to put Greer on a plane headed for home when we were in New York.“I’m going to miss you!” I said as I squeezed my sister tightly. Then, I pulled back to look into her eyes. “Promise me that you’ll e-mail me.”She laughed. “Skype would be even better.”I nodded as I dabbed at a tear in my eyes. “Yes; it would.”“Now boarding passengers on flight 462, headed for Atlanta, Georgia,” an airline attendant announced. Greer was flying into Atlanta, the hub on the east coast, and then would catch a connecting flight to West Palm Beach.“Well, this is it!” Greer said, pulling me in for another hug. Concern mixed with tears filled her eyes when she pulled back. &ldq

After a moment, he pulled back, breathless. “You want to get something to eat first?” A devilish smile spread across my face. “Room service.” He smiled. “I was hoping you’d say that.” Then, he yelled to the driver without taking his eyes from mine. “The Pierre.” “You got it, Mac,” the driver said as he guided the cab easily through the city streets. Logan pulled me into the crook of his arm and gently stroked my face as he looked into my eyes. Then, his lips touched mine tenderly at first, but it was soon filled with passion as he ran his hand down my arm and pulled me to his chest. After a moment, he pulled back, allowing me to catch my breath. “It’s so good to see you again. I’ve missed you.” I hated to ruin the moment, but I had to get something out. “Don’t ever hurt me again.” His eyes were filled with pain, but it vanished quickly as he nodded. “I won’t.” His lips devoured mine as his hand moved down my arm, raisin

After we dried off, we dressed in jeans and sweaters, and rushed out into the cool, August air. On the sidewalk, Logan whistled loudly and a cab pulled to an abrupt stop.“Nice trick!”He laughed as he placed his arm around my waist. “Come on.” He opened the back door of the cab for me, and I slid in first with Logan right behind me.“Where to?” an East Indian man with kind eyes asked.“Tiffany’s,” Logan said as he looked into my eyes.A smile broke out across his smooth caramel skin. “You got it!”We watched the high-rise buildings pass as we drove down the city streets of New York. People bustled by, each hurrying to their final destination. Each in a hurry to get nowhere. In this fast paced, fast food society, it made me wonder why people didn’t stop to enjoy life, instead of hurrying through their lives.The cab stopped, and when I looked up, there was a huge

A laugh resonated within my chest. “I thought we were going to your parents’ house tonight.”He kissed down my neck. “We have some time before we have to go.” A mischievous gleam appeared in his eyes. “We have time to play, if you like.”I smiled. “Play what? Tidily Winks?”A deep laugh burst from his lips. “Tidily Winks? Is that what they call it now?”I chuckled. “No, silly! I was only kidding. It was a board game from my childhood.”His lips curled into a seductive smile. “Well, we can play ‘Tidily Winks’ all you want. I’ll call my parents and will tell them that something came ‘up’.”I laughed. “I like the way you think.”“Good.”He gave me a sweet kiss as the elevator doors opened. He reached down for the packages that had fallen to the floor, and I did the same and then followed h

“Alyssa …”“So, you don’t deny it?” I asked, fuming. “Look: you’re my manager, but my personal life is just that … my personal life. And if you ever interfere with Logan and me again, I won’t hesitate to fire you.”“Alyssa, listen,” Craig said at the other end of the phone. “I didn’t do it. Is that what he told you? That I paid off Bryant Hall to kiss you at that concert?” He chuckled darkly at the other end. “Honey, I didn’t have to pay him. He did it on his own. You’re a desirable woman …”“I can’t believe you just said that,” I said, shaking my head. “Just stay out of my personal life! I’ll see you at the concert, but you need to get your priorities straight.”“Hey. Watch it!”“Or what?”He didn’t say anything.“That’s what I th
