You Still Move Me
Chapter 7
A/N: Hey everyone! Don't give up on Ty just yet :) Things aren't always what they seem and we have a lot of story left! Take it easy :)))
A few hour later, Amy silently laid awake in the bedroom. Her stomach was growling uncontrollably, but she didn't want to get out from under the covers. It was freezing inside the house. She looked down at her phone. The clock said 12:45AM. Amy let out a long sigh before throwing the covers off and walking into the kitchen.
Her sock covered feet prodded as quietly as possible in the kitchen so she wouldn't wake Ty. She opened the door of the fridge and saw stuff to make a sandwich. Amy took the stuff out she wanted and started to make a turkey sandwich. She heard the door open behind her and jumped.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were up." Ty stated as he walked out of the bathroom.
Amy gulped and resumed making her sandwich. She wanted to apologize for acting like a baby earlier. "Ty, I'm sorry for the way I acted. If I did something to make you…."
Ty didn't want her to apologize. He started the whole thing. "No, you didn't do anything. Well, you did but you can't help it."
Amy smiled shyly. "Ty…"
"It's true. You move me in ways I can't explain. When I look into your eyes, I see youth and innocence. I've never seen that in anyone but a child." Ty tried to explain.
Amy leaned up against the counter as listened to him. "I am anything but innocent."
Ty smirked. "That's not what I mean. I wish you could see yourself with the horses. It draws me in every time."
Amy could see it in his eyes, even in the dark. The way he felt about her. It's been there a very long time. It almost scared her to know that it was still there even after all these years. The urge to kiss him finally grabbed ahold of her once again. She slowly moved forward to make sure he wouldn't stop her advance. Once she stood before him, Amy lifted herself on her tip toes and placed a small kiss against his lips.
Ty's eyes instantly closed and allowed her kiss. Ty liked it, it was sweet and innocent. When the kiss ended, he kissed her again. This time his hands cupped her cheeks and gave her full kiss, one she wouldn't soon forget.
With his kiss, Amy moved her arms around his body. Ty took that as a notion to move closer to her. They continued to get lost in each other's kiss that they didn't remember the past. They didn't want to remember the last five years without each other. They only wanted now, wanted to hold each other close.
Amy finally broke with kiss and let her forehead rest against his. The coolness of the air rushed through her body and made her shiver against his body. Ty took the opportunity to wrap her in his arms to keep her warm. "Are you okay? Do you need a blanket?"
Amy shook her head in a 'no' motion against his chest. She didn't want to leave the comfort of his arms. "Just hold me close…"
He continued to hold her tight against his chest with her head under his chin. Ty leaned back a put a small kiss against her forehead. He wasn't sure what was happening, but he welcomed it. There was nothing better than holding her close.
She started to pull back so she could look up at him. Her hands fell upon his chest and he placed his hand on top of hers so she could fell his heart beating. "Ty, I don't know what's going on. There is something that is just pulling me to you."
Ty looked at her while she spoke. He understood every word that came out of her mouth, but he knew what is was that drew her to him. He was in love with Amy and had been for a very long time. "I've felt this for a long time. I've just hidden it for a while."
The tears started to form in the brim of her eyes. She quickly turned her head so he wouldn't see them. When he saw the tears, Ty softly grabbed her chin and moved in back to face him. "Why are you crying?"
"Because I hate myself for not coming back…" Amy told Ty the truth. She's had that feeling since she arrived back in Hudson. She was just too afraid to tell him.
While looking into her eyes, Ty saw the hurt and pain she had carried throughout the years. It was him who felt the tears pool up in his eyes. "I hate I didn't wait…"
Amy saw his tears and it was too much for her to comprehend. She wanted to show him how much she had missed him. Amy pushed with her hands off his body and lean up to kiss his lips. Her hands slowly traveled up his chest to the back of his neck to pull his lips to her own.
Ty wasn't expecting the kiss at first, but he allowed it to sink in. Once he understood what was happening, he moved his arms around her body. Their bodies were so close they were creating warmth through their clothes. It had been a while since he shared anything like this with Amy. He wanted to prove how much he loved her.
It didn't take long for his hands to maneuver south and grab ahold of her buttocks. He pulled her body into his own, loving the connection between their bodies. Amy's mouth widened as he drug her into his body. It felt as if she couldn't get enough of his kiss.
Amy had been with only three men in her life, but the other two didn't compare to how she felt with Ty. Ty could do things to her body she never could imagine. Her body reacted in ways she never thought possible. The other two men were just distractions while she was overseas. She thought she loved one of them, but in the end…he wasn't Ty.
He didn't want to ruin his time with Amy. Ty took ahold of her hips and moved her close to the couch. His hands couldn't help but wander over her body. Through her clothes, he wandered over neck, breasts and even hips. He was sure her body had matured since the last time he was it.
The love they shared was unlike anything Ty had with anyone else. It was almost scary for him to imagine it. It's not like he had been with a ton of woman, but even Erin…
Ty immediately stopped his actions. He didn't even know who he was in this moment. Erin had been good to him and he was treating her like this. Ty broke the kiss and placed his forehead against Amy's. His hands moved to her hips. "Amy…"
"Yeah?" Amy asked, smiling, with her hands plastered across his chest.
He took a deep breath and pulled away from Amy. His cold hands moved to place over hers on his chest. Ty gripped onto her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss. It wasn't like this was some slut he picked up at a bar. This was Amy, his Amy. "There's something I have to tell you."
Amy looked up to him while she held onto his hands. "Okay…"
Ty swallowed the knot that had formed in his throat. He knew he was about to hurt her feelings. That's the last thing he wanted to do. "I have a girlfriend."
When he told her the news, Amy lost eye contact with him. She had no idea what she should do with that information. "What?"
"We've been together almost two years. We were planning on getting married."
Tears had formed again in her eyes, but this time for different reasons. She felt like her heart was being stabbed with a million knives, over and over again. Amy didn't even want to look at him. The Ty she knew would have never done what he just did. "Ty, why didn't you say something? I can't believe you."
Ty didn't know what to say. He finally let go of her hands and turned his body away from hers. The shameful feelings he felt were different than he imagined. Erin was there for him when things were tough. The only woman he had shared his love with since Amy left. Truth is, she never compared to Amy.
Amy watched him turn away from her. She wanted to hit him. How could he do that to her? How could he do that to the poor girl he was supposedly engaged to in Vancouver? Amy wasn't about to become something she never thought possible. A relationship killer or at least that's what she called it.
He drew his hands up to his face and wiped it before he turned back around. The look on Amy's face was something he had never seen. She was so disappointed in him. "Amy, I'm truly sorry."
"What does this mean?"
Ty didn't know how she wanted him to answer. "I…I don't know."
"Well, look, I didn't know about your girlfriend. I'm sorry if it caused any problems. Please, just let's get through tomorrow and not worry about it." Amy stated what she wanted to him to hear.
"Please, just let me explain. " Ty exclaimed catching her as she walked past him.
"Look, I'm not mad. I'm a little confused, but I just need to go to bed." Amy stated again as she walked over to grab her sandwich and walk into the bedroom.
For the second time that night, Ty Borden felt defeated. He knew it wasn't right to kiss Amy. He knew he should have told Amy from the beginning, but it wasn't something that came up. For the first time in years, he wasn't sure what he wanted. He couldn't help but love Amy Flemming.
