Chapter 11: Alexis

I woke up the next morning still feeling the sensation of Taylor’s lips on my own. Yesterday had been a dream and I had to pinch myself a few times to remind myself I was actually awake. Sadly, I knew that it was only a matter of time before this dream became a nightmare. Saying goodbye to Taylor was going to kill me, but I couldn’t think about that for now. For once, I had to just live in the moment and enjoy what I had while I still had it.

I was happy to see that when Mr. Bradley arrived bright and early at 8, Taylor was with him. She was wearing jeans that hugged her body perfectly and a red and green flannel shirt. Christmas never looked so good and I had to remind myself not to drool.

“Hey Lexi,” Taylor said shyly and I couldn’t help but notice the way her eyes moved up and down my body. It was like her eyes were lasers and everywhere they touched burned a hole right through me.

“Shall we get started?” I asked, trying to break the spell.

She followed me toward the barn and as soon as we were inside, pushed me against the door and started kissing me fiercely. “Sorry,” she apologized after a much too short make out session. “I’ve been thinking about doing that again since last night.”

I waved a finger at her in mock protest. “Taylor Bradley. You need to behave. Didn’t you know that all extracurriculars have to wait until after work?”

She raised an eyebrow at me. “Really? You mean you’re not going to let me sneak a few kisses in throughout the day.”

I sighed back at her. “I guess I can make an exception just this once. But you need to earn your kisses, so get to work.”

To my surprise, she still remembered how the morning routine went and immediately got to work feeding the animals and cleaning up. I was sure there was no one else in this world who could look so hot cleaning up poop.

We worked around the farm all morning, then took a break to eat lunch. About halfway through my sandwich, I sat it down and turned to look at Taylor. “Ok. Be honest with me. How have you been doing with things?”

She leaned over and bumped her shoulder against mine playfully. “That depends. What things are you referring to?”

I rolled my eyes at her. “Oh I don’t know. Maybe the fact that your fiancé dumped you out of nowhere not much more than I week ago.”

I felt her body tense of beside me and could take this topic made her uncomfortable. “Are you sure this is really something you and I should be talking about?”

I took her hand in mine and rubbed my thumb against her skin. “Of course it is. No matter what is going on with us, I care about you. I also know you and I know that if I don’t push you to talk to me, you’ll just let it all build up.
