He watched her that night. Making sure the swelling was going down at that she was comfortable. Barely sleeping himself.
After a few hours he laid in Jade's bed. On his side looking at her. He thought for a while before his eyes drooped and closed.
Taylor woke up to the sound of a toilet flushing and then water running.
Eva walked out of the bathroom and crawled back in to her warm bed and stared at the ceiling. Then she began to speak quietly.
"Lord, I wish I knew what was going on in my mind right now, I wish I knew what I felt. I wish some how I could show Taylor that it's him that I love." She shook her head and sighed, then lightly touched her cheek, "Help me to follow my heart."
Taylor looked at her, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say. He gave a mental sigh. "Eva, you must choose. Me or him. I can't take this any more. You tell me that you love me, but why do you keep going back to him." Taylor asked softly, as he was reluctant to get up from his bed and over to hers to talk. But he forced himself tod o it anyway.
She looked over at him. Startled that he had heard her, and actually decided to talk to her.
"Taylor, I do love you." She strained. “But..." She started.
"But what?" Taylor asked impatiently.
"But you get so jealous and so controlling." She replied softly. "You make me seem and feel like an object. And not the human that I am."
Taylor bent down on his knees on the side of her bed. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked closing his eyes slightly.
"I tried to." She commented. "But you weren't listening." She reminded him.
Taylor opened his eyes and looked at her, then he lowered his head.
Eva placed her hand under his chin and lifted it up. "Look at me." She whispered.
He looked up into her eyes.
"I forgive you." She said smiling, "I forgive you."
A small expression appeared that Eva couldn't make out. She moved her hand to the side of his face. "Jordan?" She asked," Do you forgive me?"
Taylor stared at her. "Are you going to go back to him?" He questioned gently.
She was quiet. "If I do, it will be on friendship level only. Nothing more."
"No bodily fluids transferred?" He asked.
Eva giggled lightly. "No, no spit swapping."
Taylor grinned at her. "Of course I forgive you." He murmured before giving her a gentle kiss.
"But me and you on the other hand, I could get used to this." She smiled as he kissed back.
"So could I but..." He trailed off. "But I'm sleepy sooo.... goodnight." Taylor said smiling as he got up and went back over in Jade's bed.
"Good night, Jordan." Eva said softly.
"Goodnight, sweetheart." Was his reply.
