I hand over my keys and get in the car. As we pull off I wave to my mom and dad. So Leo do you know how to skate?...
"OH MY GOD!"
After a fun filled day at the ice rink we head home. I could not stop laughing at Leo. He kept getting shot down by every girl he hit on. The way he did it was adorable. Taylor and I skated together. He fell five times. The fifth time he took me down with him. I giggled at him. he blushes and helps me up. We pull in and park. Leo wants me to come up to the pent house. Taylor looks at me as if he would like that too. I shrug and say ok. I take one step out of the elevator my jaw drops. The place was huge! I am so going to love raiding this place for Christmas. I mean I could totally deck the halls in this place. Welcome home Leo, Kazumi. My father said sitting on the sofa with mom drinking some wine. Hello again dad and to you to mom. I cannot believe I'm already calling them that. but on some odd level I feel as if I should. I mean they are my parents and all. Come sit with us baby girl we want to catch up. We want to know about you and your plans. I sit with them. Leo sits in a chair looks as if he wants to know too. So Kazumi what do you like to do. They asked with a smile. Well let's see. I enjoy singing, dancing, playing soccer, I am a black belt in tie judo. My dad smirked. Your uncle Eliot would love going toe to toe with you. he laughed as if it were ironic. I was the first girl to play on the boys varsity soccer team. My dad glared at me. Did you see anything? He looked mad. No nothing cuz I changed in the girls locker room. well do you have a boyfriend? My mom asked trying to lighten the mood. I did but we did not last long. Mom and dad hugged me. Well sweetheart you will kiss a lot of frogs till you kiss your prince. Well I hope my prince comes to me soon. I glance a Taylor at the bar reading a book. OOOOOOOO Kazumi goat's the hotts for Taylor. Leo yelled. Taylor spit out what he was drinking and looked at us. He was blushing. I got Leo in a head lock. Hey dad do ya got any rope or duct tape. Leo is about to learn to not spread lies. The Kazumi way.
One hour later.
I come back into the large living room. the fire is going. I see Taylor in a white tank top and sweatpants. He was holding a photo of a woman. She looked older than him. oh Gail I miss you so much. Im so sorry I was not there for you. his tears hit the picture. My heart broke for some odd reason I felt like holding him. I walked over and sat next to him. he looked at me. Miss. Grey? He whispered. I hugged him and held him close. He stiffened but then relaxed and hugged me back. He sobbed into my shoulder. Its ok Taylor. I'm positive she does not hate you. who is Gail by the way? She was the love of my life. She helped me heal after finding my wife in bed with another women. Where is Gail now? She passed away a year today. He looks at me. I think she knew you were coming and she needed to go...
