You Still Move Me

Chapter 10

The day for Amy flew by quickly. She finished up the paperwork with Ahmed and now she couldn't wait to tell Ty the good news. The staff had been good to Amy while she was in Canada. All the horses were in good shape which meant the work was easy. By the time four o' clock rolled around, Amy was about to bust at the seams. She really didn't know what Ty was planning, but her excitement had to show. Amy even told Ahmed about Ty and he seemed happy enough for her.

The apartment was empty when Amy arrived home from work. Amy noticed that Ty had left a note on the table next to the door. It basically told her to get ready and he would be back to pick her up for their date. Amy took her time getting ready. She tried on a million different dresses before she found the right one. Amy curled her hair and was putting on the finishing touches of her makeup when doorbell rang.

Amy finished putting lipstick on her lips before heading to answer the door. She wasn't surprised to find Ty on the other side. Excited, but not surprised. Ty had dressed in slacks with a button down shirt and even had a tie to top it off. She had only seen Ty in a tie like twice during their relationship. He always looking charming with one on.

"Amy, wow, you're beautiful." Ty exclaimed as he let himself inside the door.

Amy couldn't help but blush at his statement. "Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself."

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let me grab my purse."

Ty watched Amy turn around and grab her purse from the counter. He couldn't help but notice how much she had changed in just five years. The youth and innocence still coursed through her, but her look was much older. She no longer fit the body of the fifteen year old he fell in love with many years ago.

"So, where are you taking me?" Amy asked still curious about everything.

With thoughts subsiding, Ty answered her question. "You and I never did restaurants well so I have a little surprise."

Secretly, Amy was thankful. She didn't feel like going to a fancy restaurant and waiting all night. "Okay, I trust you."

Ty had thought of everything. He had got a car to drive them. It took them outside the city to a small road which reminded her of home. Once they reached their destination, Ty helped her out of the car and walked her over to a blanket that had been put out over the grass. In the background you could see horses, stables and the normal things you would see on a farm. It was quiet and just right for two of them.

"What do you think?" Ty asked once they walked up to the setting.

Amy was beyond surprised. She wasn't expecting all of this. There was food and music and just everything. Literally, Amy's perfect date. "Ty, I'm shocked. It's amazing."

Ty was excited to hear the words come out of her mouth. He was a little nervous he had went overboard. "Really? It's not too much?"

"It's perfect. Thank you." Amy let out as a whisper as she looked over the scenery once again. It fit their relationship perfectly.

"How was work?" He asked as he helped her sit down on the blanket.

Once Amy was finally situated in a comfortable situation, she answered Ty's question. "It wasn't too bad. I didn't have much to catch up on. "

In the back of his mind, Ty thought about what was going to happen between them. They obviously wouldn't work if she stayed in Europe. "Amy, what are your plans? Do you want to stay in Europe?"

She had been waiting for the right time to share her news. Amy was glad that he asked. "Since you brought it up, I have some good news. Before you came back into the picture, I had already decided not to renew my contract. I missed home. I have three more months left on my contract."

Ty wanted to kiss her right then and there. He was little worried about the long distance, but now he didn't need to worry. "That's good to hear. I want have to wait too long until I see you again."

"When are you going back?" Amy asked since it was on her mind.

He thought about his answer. The clinic was okay for a couple of more days, but he didn't want to out stay his welcome. "If everything goes well, I'll stay a couple of days. Unfortunately, I have a job to get back to in Vancouver."

Amy decided to joke with him a little. "What lf I don't want you to stay?"

Ty heard what she said. He knew that she was only joking, but it made him wander. Were they really doing this? Were they going to try this again? "All I know that there are planes that leave here every day, but I'm not leaving without knowing where we stand."

At that moment, Amy knew that Ty was serious about rekindling their relationship. This date wasn't about joking, but about the truth. By the end of this date both of them would know where they were going tomorrow. "And what do you want? Where do you see yourself in five years?"

He looked around from where he was sitting and took in all that was offered. The pasture, barn and the animals that drew him in. "I thought I'd already have it. I've always wanted a dream ranch with you. That's been dream since I was eighteen. I might just have to wait a little longer to get it."

Amy's heart was now beating fast. It scared her that after all this time they could just fall back in place. Everything just seemed so natural for them. "I guess it only took me years in Europe to realize how much I love the Canadian countryside."

"Don't beat yourself up. You were young and had a lot to learn. It's just part of life." He told her so she wouldn't feel bad about leaving. Ty would never let her take that for granted.

Amy had to gather her thoughts after Ty's comment. He had given her a lot to think about in just a short time. When she first met Ty, Amy had a hard time sharing her feelings. Reeling over the fact that she had just lost her mother, it took a lot to open up to people. A year later she finally let Ty in her life. Amy couldn't ever see letting him go until that dreadful day in Europe.

Ty watched over Amy as she fell into her thoughts. Her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders and down her back. The dress she had on was more revealing that she probably expected showing off her toned legs. Ty thought it might have been just the way she was sitting, but he didn't mind. Now, just in her late twenties, Amy had acquired a more sexual presence. The way she acted and carried herself was more attractive than he remembered.

"See something you like?" Amy asked disbanding him of his thoughts.

When she spoke, he looked up into her deep, blue eyes. Ty almost got lost in them. He decided he had better speak before he got caught drooling over her. "Well, I always liked the way you looked."

Amy didn't mind the way he looked either. She thought he was more handsome than ever. "You've aged well…"

"Ouch!"

Amy laughed as Ty took his hand and placed it over his heart. She couldn't remember the last time she laughed. "Sorry, you don't look thirty. I'm just saying time has treated you good."

"If you say so…"

As Ty kept on, Amy leaned over and pushed Ty's shoulder playfully. "Shut up!"

He tried to be serious, but it was working. "You know you like it when I pester you."

Amy shook her head, not believing what was coming out of his mouth. "Oh, Mr. Borden, you have no idea."

Ty liked the teasing coming from Amy. It was something they did constantly in Canada. He quickly got up on his knees so he could face her. "I still remember a few tricks."

She raised her eyebrow and prepared herself for what was to come next. "We will see about that."

Ty didn't waste a second and launched his hands out to grab ahold of her petite waist. He quickly started tickling the spots he knew that were the most sensitive. They both laughed as she crumbled under his touch. "I told you I remembered."

Amy could barely catch her breath as his fingers carefully rolled over her covered waist. The mixture of laughing and trying to get him to stop was almost too much for Amy. She knew to get him to stop that she would have to beg. "Okay, you win. Please stop…please stop."

With her request, Ty pulled his hands away from her body. He looked down at the beautiful woman below him and remembered her charm. Ty remembered all the reasons he fell in love with Amy to begin with. Not just her looks, but her heart. A heart made of all the things he dreamed about his whole life. He didn't know how he did without her for so long.

"I missed you." Ty blurted out as Amy caught her breath.

She literally could feel her heart thumping inside her chest. Amy reached her hand out to touch his cheek. She palmed it before speaking. "I've missed you, too. It hasn't been the same without you in my life."

Ty could hold onto that comment for the moment. He was satisfied where things were headed. The look in her eyes told him to make a move, but he didn't want to ruin their evening. He had never been more nervous in his entire life. Ty quickly decided to pull Amy up so he could look into her eyes. He needed to know what she was thinking.

Amy waited patiently. She really wanted him to kiss her lips. It might have been more a need she wasn't sure, but whatever it was, the feeling was strong. She watched Ty's hand reach out a touch her face. His hand stayed still as his thumb brushed slowly over her nose and lips. Amy closed her eyes just wanting to feel a connection. She loved the feel of his hands on her body.

He could see that she was enjoying his actions. With her eyes still closed, he lets his fingers play over lips until he replaced them with his on lips. He decided not to wait any longer to kiss the woman in front of him. Why hold off doing something when it's something you obviously want? Ty didn't want to lose Amy a second time.

Her eyes didn't open when his lips connected with her own. She just savored the feeling of his lips on hers. Amy was afraid that she might not feel it again. At the reservation, the feelings were different. A few kisses that had been rushed with no promise of tomorrow. This kiss had so much meaning, so much time. It was beautiful.

The kiss finally progressed as he opened up his mouth and pressed his lips back together onto hers. Amy followed close behind and met his kisses. Her hands finally made their way to hold his cheeks. She held them softly as their lips made contact over and over again. Ty almost didn't believe that this was happening. It was only something he thought of many times in the past five years.

It was deemed sweet and sensual when the kiss finally ended. Ty didn't want to take things to far on their 'first' date. He wanted to be a gentleman. His forehead came to rest against hers as he regretfully pulled away from the kiss. He savored the moment and soaked it up with Amy. Theirs breaths both connected, both reeling down from the kiss they had shared moments before.

"Wow that was…."

"Incredible?" Ty questioned as he interrupted her sentence.

She laughed again. That wasn't the word she had intended on using, but she was okay with it. "Amazing. I was going to say amazing."

Ty thought it was amazing too. He didn't know he was going to wait to kiss her again. All her knew was that he wanted to and if things worked out…it was going to be a long three months. Ty had one more day left with Amy and he was going to make the best of it. He really wanted to show her that he was serious and that he was going to wait for her to get back home…
