the chocolate from her lip.
    She inhales sharply at the surprise of my tongue on her mouth and her eyes fly open before slowly drifting closed again.
    I want tonight to be perfect for her since I’d fucked up on our date last weekend and I still had to tell her about going out of town with Bria.
    I feed her the strawberry and kiss away the sweet juice lingering on her bottom lip.
    She smiles, lazily opening her eyes. “We’re still going to have that conversation.”
    Damn. Distracting her wasn’t going to work. “I know.”
    I fed her a Cheeto next.
    She chews and swallows, watching me thoughtfully.
    I pop one into my mouth as I give her another. Maybe if I keep feeding her, we won’t have to talk. I loose count of the number of Cheetos I feed her when she holds up her hand, stopping me.
    “I’m good, thank you.”
    I move the tray from the bed and settle in next to her. “I have something to tell you, but you go first. What do you want to know?”
    “So last weekend…all those girls…it got me thinking.”
    That’s exactly what I was afraid of.
    “Why did you seem to change so easily for me ? And how can I trust that you have really changed?”
    What can I say to make her believe me? This change might seem fast to her, or not sustainable, but I know it is. Being with Taylor grounds me and gives me a connection I’ve been missing for years. And I don’t even care how sappy I sound. The love word pops into my head again, but I don’t want to tell her yet. I don’t want her to think I’m just saying it to smooth things over.
    She’s waiting, watching me. I cup her face, and drift my thumbs across her cheeks. “I’m falling for you, hard, baby. Give us a chance, okay? Give me a chance to show you how much you mean to me.”
    She leans in and kisses me. Thank God.
    But after several minutes, she stops and pulls back. “What did you have to tell me?”
    Oh, shit that’s right. I need to tell her I’m going away. But s uddenly, telling her about Bria right now when things are still so fragile between us doesn’t seem right. I’ll have to tell her eventually, but not right now. Not when we’ve just made up.
    I take a deep breath. “You know how I’ve turned down some of the assignments McAllister had lined up?”
    She nods.
    “I’m working on a new deal for the school, and it means I’ll have to go away for a little while.”
    “Oh.” Her face falls.
    “I’m leaving next week, and I’ll be in London for a few weeks while I work one case and try to secure a long term partnership with another agency.”
    “London, huh?”
    I nod.
    “Sounds cool.”
    I shrug. “I guess. I’ll be working a lot, so there won’t be much time for fun.”
    My cell phone chimes loudly from across the room. This is not the first time it’s interrupted one of our moments alone together.
    Taylor sighs, rolling her eyes. “That phone is really starting to piss me off.”
    I reach for it. I’ve missed several calls and texts from girls I used to hang out with. Shit. Taylor looks down at the phone, a little crease on her forehead.
    “Sorry,” I mumble.
    She shakes her head. “I’m going to erase all those old contacts from your phone.”
    “Hey.” I tilt her chin up to meet my eyes. “I’m sorry, okay. You trust me, right?”
    She nods once. “But that doesn’t mean I like it.”
    She never fails to tell me exactly how she feels. It’s one of the things I like about her.

 
    Chapter 7
    Taylor
     
    I try to forget about the random girls calling my boyfriend to hook up, and let what he just told me about London sink in. I don’t like the idea of him leaving for several weeks, not when things are just starting to get to a solid place between us, but I understand that he has to do this for his job.
    “I asked Reis to keep an eye on you while I’m gone.” He kisses my forehead.
    “I don’t need babysitting, Colt. Besides, I’ll keep myself busy with school, MJ and Logan.”
    “I know. It’s just, he
