You Still Move Me
Chapter 6: Holding Back
A/N: I finally made it back! Thanks to everyone who has been so patient. I will update quickly because this chapter is short! Be easy on me :)
"Oh my God! Can you believe the horses? They're incredible!" Amy exclaimed to Ty as they moved quickly in the house. Throughout the day, Amy had managed to gentle a few of the horses which isn't an easy thing to accomplish.
As he shut the door, Ty couldn't help but smile at Amy's excitement. It made her happiness flow through him as well. "Yeah, they were."
Amy smiled while she took off her hat and gloves. "The black horse with the white spots on his back. I never thought I would even come close."
Ty followed Amy's action and took off his jacket and gloves. While he listened to her, he started to build a fire in the fireplace. Since Scott wasn't going to be able to make it back, it was left up to Ty to make sure they didn't freeze to death.
"And do you remember the colt from last time?" Amy asked as she made her way close to the fire so she could warm up.
Ty thought about her question before answering. Of course he remembered the horse, they used him to get the rest of the horses into then pen. "Yeah, Why?"
"I think I saw him, today."
"How do you know?" Ty asked curiously, rubbing his hands together to get them warm.
Amy's face turned a little red before starting to answer. "You will probably think it's crazy, but I just have this feeling. I have these weird connections with horses. It was him. I know it."
Ty was still cold after her statement and sat his body down in front of the fire. "I don't think it's crazy. I always said you have a gift."
After, Ty's sweet comment. Amy took a good look at the man she had left behind. Even after all these years, they knew each other well. They might not know each other's secrets from the past five years, but they still know each other's signals and emotions.
Ty noticed Amy staring at him and turned to look at her. She was thinking about something. "What is it?"
Amy shrugged and walked over to sit beside him. "I was thinking about us. It's weird how well we know each other despite everything that has happened."
"It's hard to change the way you are, Amy. I mean we did date for five years." Ty told her as he watched her shiver beside him. He couldn't help but take it upon himself to cover her up. His hand reached out to grab his jacket from the couch and put it across her shoulders. "Is that better?"
Amy shook her head in a 'yes' motion and snuggled into the jacket. The jacket smelled just like Ty. "Thank You."
They both sat in silence thinking about how the day had panned out. Believe it or not, both didn't want the day to end quite yet. It was nice just to be away from reality and in their own world for a while. It didn't take long for Ty to break the silence.
"I had fun today."
Amy gave him a half smile. "Yeah, it was nice."
It was now Ty's turn to stare at Amy. The fire's glow hit her face in just the right spots. It showed off the beautiful blue eyes that donned her face. A piece of her golden hair had fallen over her cheek and Ty took it upon himself to gently move it out of her face and behind her ear. He didn't know what come over him, but something about her took over him. When he moved her hair, he let his hand wander over her facial features.
Amy didn't dare move. She held her breath as Ty's hand moved over her face. The feeling insider her knew they shouldn't be this close, but deep down she wanted it. Their eyes were still captured in each other as his hand fell slowly from her face. She looked deeply into his green eyes. The connection was still undeniably there and all she wanted to do was kiss him.
Her hand reached out to hold herself up. It wasn't long until she felt his hand cover her own. She closed her eyes quickly and reopened them to see his beautiful face. Amy didn't know what was happening. All of this happened way to fast.
"Amy…" Ty whispered out. Heck, he had no idea where all this was coming from. All he wanted to do was be close to her.
She saw it in his eyes, in his voice. The want. Amy wasn't sure if she should act upon what she was feeling or not. Amy took it upon herself to move closer to Ty. "Ty, maybe we…"
Amy didn't have time to finish her sentence before Ty's lips were pressed against her own. They lingered for a few seconds before he pulled away. Once his lips were gone, she reached up to touch her own. She couldn't believe that he just kissed her.
Ty instantly felt bad when she didn't kiss him back. The last thing he wanted to do was make things more uncomfortable. "I'm sorry Amy, I don't know what come over me."
Amy just stared at him. She had no idea what to say. Did she want to kiss him or was it just in her head? She didn't need this at the moment. "Ty, I'm just going to head to bed."
He didn't want her to leave. Ty wanted to explain. "Amy, wait!"
Amy heard Ty's plea, but ignored it….
Amy didn't make it into the bedroom before Ty's phone started ringing. He made sure Amy had shut the door before returning to the end table to pick up the phone. His hands didn't want to pick up, didn't want to see who was on the other end.
Ty finally picked up the phone and read the screen. Once he read the screen, he picked up his jacket and put it on. The moment he stepped outside he answered the phone call.
"Hey Erin…."
