Invisible String

Chicken Soup

"Do you want the same?" Joe asks Taylor quietly.

"No. I don't know actually. I need some time to think," She sighs looking down at the floor, "But right now all I want is to focus on whatever is happening between us," She mumbles softly. Joe gives her a faint smile. He's glad that she wants to give him a chance. But at the same time it's messing with his head that she still needs time to think if she wants to patch up with Adam or not. This is a delicate situation. So Joe decides to keep his real feelings buried inside again. He tilts Taylor's head with his hand to look into her baby blue eyes.

"Just know that whatever your decision is I'm always with you," He says softly and Taylor pulls him into a tight hug.

"Thank you for always supporting me," She mumbles on his neck. Joe wraps his hands around her and buries his face on her hair to breathe in her sweet smell. His hands caress on her back and she kisses softly on his neck. She loves this man. But she's afraid to accept it. She doesn't know what is going on between them yet. She doesn't know if it's love or just a physical attraction. Her long lost high school feelings have come back. It also feels like that this feeling was never gone, it was always there, just frozen. But then he came back in her life and painted her deep blue heart golden again. She closes her eyes trying to consume this moment. She gasps when she feels Joe carrying her up. She wraps her legs around his waist and he leads them to the bed. He puts Taylor's body onto the mattress and lays down beside her. She puts her hand on his stubble caressing it with her fingers. Both of them just lay like that while looking into each others blue eyes.

After a while Joe closes the gap to give a sweet peck on her lips. This time there was no hunger, no lust, no fighting. Just a sweet peck, reminding her that he's here. He'll always be here. It's a promise.

"I think I'm physically attracted to you," Taylor speaks up breaking the soft silence.

"Just physically?" He chuckles being disappointed. Now he's happy that the phone call ruined that moment. Because it's clear from her side that she doesn't have emotional feelings for him. It's an one sided thing for him. But still he's glad that he got a place. Let it be just physical but he got a place.

Taylor doesn't say anything, she just smiles at his remark. She knows she's more attracted to him emotionally than she is physically. But she doesn't want him to know about that. It makes her vulnerable. It's almost embarrassing. She is a mess that no one wants, not even Joe and she knows that. She knows that he'll get tired of her eventually. She has experienced this every single time.

He suddenly pulls her body closer to him and kisses her forehead, "Stop being so cute," He mumbles between the kisses.

Taylor giggles and wraps her hands around his body. She can stay like this forever. She wants him more though. Her body is aching for his touch. She can feel his awakened manhood on her thighs. She knows that he wants this too. Both of them want to take the next step but they don't want to ruin this cozy moment either. It's so precious already. And she calls this just a physical attraction. Her bad.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks caressing her cheeks.

"About Adam?" She snuggles closer to him.

"Hmm yes. I never intended to ask you about this but why did you two break up?" He places the strands of her hair behind her ear.

"He had cheated on me," She smiles softly and Joe frowns. He wants to beat up this guy's ass already.

"Then why did Karlie say that he dumped you?"

"He did actually. He was the one to break up with me."

"I don't understand," He frowns.
