Warnings: very nsfw

~~~~~

Rare Moments

“I can’t believe we live 10 feet from each other and I can’t even see you,” Levi grumbled through the phone.

“Well, you’re the one who decided to go grocery shopping in the middle of a pandemic,” she countered. Levi couldn’t see it, but he knew she was rolling her eyes.

When news hit about a deadly virus and a global pandemic, Tara had been on the ball with everything. Quickly stocking up on essentials without going overboard. Ensuring that Zoey got all her homeschool materials from Eiko so she could stay on top of things. Even figuring out a way to work from home through everything.

Levi had not been so lucky.

He knew to take things seriously but he had not been as serious as Tara. Causing him to still go out every few weeks to buy food and supplies - if there was anything left to buy.

“I know, I know. I should have listened to you,” he conceded before plopping down on his couch. “But I still don’t get why I can’t come over.”

He listened as she let out an exasperated sigh. “You know I can’t risk anything happening to Zoey.”

She was right, like always. Levi wouldn’t do anything to put either Tara or Zoey at risk. He still didn’t like it, though.

He decided to drop that conversation for the night. “So, how was Rocket, today?” he asked with genuine sincerity. Levi could hear the creak of Tara’s bed on the other side of the phone.

“She’s loving this,” Tara replied cooly. “She misses her friends but she’s already finished all the schoolwork the Academy gave out. She’s been doing all kinds of projects and research. And she loves to fill me in on every detail.”

Levi could hear the strain in her voice. It made his lips quirk into a knowing smirk. “And how are you handling all this?” he asked with amusement.

“Let’s just say today was a ‘two glasses of wine’ kind of day,” she huffed out.

Levi laughed. “You’re doing great, Tara.” He grew serious for a second before speaking again. “I wish I could help you. Help with all this. I wish I could be there.”

There was silence for a moment on the other line. “I know, Levi. Me too. That really means a lot.”

This was one of the rare moments in their crazy lives. One where they took the time for each other. It was serious and meaningful. It made Levi reflect on what he wanted. Who he wanted. The life he wanted with these two extraordinary girls that lived next door. The future they could have.

“Hey,” Tara said, breaking Levi from his wandering thoughts which was probably for the best at the moment. “What are you doing right now?”

He could hear the playfulness in her voice which made his brow raise slightly in delight. “Just chillin’ here all by my lonesome. Why you ask, Miss Day?”

She didn’t respond, instead he heard the familiar alert of a video call coming through his phone. He pulled it away from his ear and hit the accept button. He was quickly met by a smiling face and stunning green eyes.

“Hey, beautiful,” he greeted and took pleasure in the slight blush that blossomed across her cheeks. She was laying down on her bed, auburn hair fanned out across her pillows.

“Hello, handsome,” she responded back. He probably should have been more embarrassed by the dopey grin that was on his face, but seeing her - even if it was through video - made everything feel right in the world.

“Is that my shirt?” he asked, taking in the oversized, black band tee he realized several days ago that he was missing.

She looked down at the shirt then back to the camera. “Maybe,” she responded with a mischievous smile.

“Well it looks better on you, that’s for sure,” he commented with a laugh. “Is Rocket asleep?”

Tara nodded her head and Levi couldn’t help but notice the way she slowly ran the tips of her fingers across her bottom lip. His body shuddered and he silently cursed to himself for not being more careful during this pandemic. He would give anything to be in bed with her instead of alone on his couch.

“Whatcha thinking about?” Tara asked, her voice dropping an octave lower.

Levi liked where this was heading.

“You,” he responded earnestly. The smile that she gave him made his chest constrict and his stomach flip.

Then she had the nerve to bite the tip of her finger. “What about me?”

“I’m thinking about all the things I would do to you if you were here with me right now,” he began. “Or if I was in that bed with you.”

“Tell me,” she urged and Levi swallowed hard as the hand that was on her face slowly slid down and out of frame.

Levi’s own hand trailed down his bare chest and stomach, landing on the outside of his sweatpants to palm himself. “I would make you feel so good, Tara.”

“Yes,” she responded breathlessly as she closed her eyes. “Tell me more. Tell me what you want.”

Levi felt hot all over. The sounds coming from his phone - near-silent pants and almost inaudible moans - were making his head spin.

“Pull up your shirt,” he directed. She did, pulling the fabric up until it bunched up under her chin, leaving the silky skin of her chest exposed to him. He all but groaned when her hand traced circles around her pert skin. “That’s it, Tara. How does that feel?”

Her only response was a moan causing him to twitch against his leg. Levi’s hand found it’s way beneath his pants and boxers where he started to stroke languidly.

This wasn’t their first time. Over the past few weeks with nowhere to go and nothing to do, they had found themselves on similar calls. A way to relieve the built-up frustration of not being able to see, kiss, and touch each other.

Levi had usually been the one to follow directions, letting Tara lead. He did everything to make her happy and satisfied, letting her take charge during their late-night calls. But tonight was different. Tonight he was in control.

“Touch yourself,” he demanded. His voice was firm but full of affection and need.

He could tell by the way her eyes widened that she was pleasantly surprised at the directions. He watched her hand that had previously been rubbing over her chest move back down out of frame. A moment later there was a slight gasp from her parted lips and Levi’s quickened his own pace.

“Show me, Tara.” He watched as the screen shifted and soon he was staring at the bow of her hips and the delicious skin of her bare thighs. His tongue ran along his lower lip as he watched her fingers moving delicately under the black, cotton fabric covering her sex. “Take them off.”

He heard her huff before she set the phone down, the screen going black. He heard the sound of fabric rustling and then a moment later she picked the phone back up and positioned it back towards her lower half. She was fully exposed now, her fingers working deftly against her sensitive skin.

Using one hand, Levi shifted to pull down his sweatpants and boxers slightly, freeing himself to the open air. He continued to stroke himself, picturing her instead of his hand. “Talk to me, Tara. Tell me what you want.”

There was an audible gasp of his name followed by a low moan escaping her throat. The sounds only made him harder.

“I wish you were here,” Tara replied, her voice barely above of whisper.

Levi groaned. “Me too, baby.”

“I wish this was you,” she began, her fingers slowly dipping into her folds. “Your fingers, your mouth, your cock.”

Levi muttered a curse at her words. He loved it when her pretty mouth spouted off such vulgar things. This was a side a Tara reserved for only him. And now he was already dangerously close to finishing.

“Faster, Tara,” he instructed and reveled in the way her fingers moved deeper inside her at a delicious pace. His thoughts were moving a mile a minute now. “Just like that. God, I want to fuck you so bad. Are you close?”

“Yes, Levi, I’m so close,” she whimpered.

“I want to watch you as you come, baby.”

A moment later the camera had switched back to her face. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted slightly as breathless moans and wanton sounds left her mouth. Her cheeks were flushed heavily and the slight crinkle across her brow let him know that she was almost there.

His eyes trailed over the curve of her lips, the definition of her collarbone, and the softness of her breasts. She panted his name and he whispered words of encouragement and praise.

“Levi… I’m… I…”

“That’s it, Tara. Let go,” he soothed and soon she was chorusing his name through her heavy breath. Her shoulders trembled and she arched slightly from the bed. She was a vision and soon Levi followed. Closing his eyes, he jerked his hips upwards and spilled out across his hand and stomach. Both lines grew quiet, save for the sounds of shallow breaths escaping both their lips.

When Levi finally opened his eyes, he saw Tara staring back at him, a huge, wicked smile gracing her lips. Levi returned the grin - all teeth. “You’re amazing, you know that?” he asked rhetorically. The way she blushed made his heart stutter in his chest.

“Yeah, I do,” she sighed dreamily, making Levi snort and roll his eyes. He shot her a pointed look through the screen before they both broke out into laughter. After a few more minutes of laughter and easy conversation, the pair said their goodbyes and got off the call.

After a quick shower, Levi laid in bed - alone - scrolling through his phone. He was just about to set it down on his nightstand when a familiar ding sounded through the room. He smiled as he opened the text from his neighbor who should have most definitely been asleep by now.

T: Miss you

L: Miss you too

There was a pause as Levi stared at the three little dots appearing then disappearing on the screen until finally-

T: If you promise to stay home and self-quarantine for the next two weeks, I’ll let you come over. Think you can do that?

Levi smiled to himself. He pretended to weigh the idea in his idea before responding back right away. Even though he knew exactly what his answer would be.

L: Sounds good to me :)

T: Great! See you in two weeks ;) Goodnight

L: Night Tara. Love you

T: I love you too

Levi plugged in his phone and laid it on the nightstand. It wasn’t hard to fall asleep. The promise of being able to see - actually see - the love of his life in two weeks made things much easier and soon he was out.

P.S I Love You (Chapter One)

Pairing: Thomas Mendez x Tara Day

Summary: A car accident leaves Tara with severe memory loss and her family works to help her adjust.

Author's Note: I have multiple plots running in my head haha.

Playlist: New Kind of Love by Skylar Gray, Take Me Home by Us the Duo, A Moment Apart by ODESZA, Back Here by BBMAK, Closing Time by Semisonic

When Tara opened her eyes, the first thing she was aware of was the pounding in her head. The white lights of the hospital were beating down on her and her body felt like it was bruised all over.

She squinted as two blurry figures at the end of the bed came into focus. One was a woman, dressed in scrubs, holding a clipboard that she could only assume was the doctor. The other was a man who was dressed in a white button up.

"Oh, thank goodness. Are you in any pain?" The man asked.

"My head is pounding." She replied, wincing as she tried to sit up. "And my back is really sore. Sir, my daughter Zoey, she wasn't hurt was she?"

The man looked at the doctor, a confused look on his face on his face. The doctor frowned, checking her clipboard.

"Tara, can you tell me what year it is?"

She scrunched her face in concentration. The buzzing in her head wasn't going away and her stomach was churning.

"It's 2016." She finally said slowly as the two people in front of her exchanged looks. Her stomach dropped as she realized that her answer was worrisome to them. "My name is Tara Day, my daughter Zoey is nine and we just moved to Goldcliffe so that she can attend Bernhardt."

"Tara," The man said softly. He moved to her bedside and took her hand. "Tara, do you know who I am?"

Tara blinked at him, trying to concentrate on his face. He had bright blue eyes and his hair was slightly disheveled. Something about him seemed familiar, but she couldn't place his face.

She shook her head slowly as his face fell.

"I'm your husband, Tara. My name is Thomas Mendez."

He could still remember the moment that the hospital called. Seeing Godcliffe Hospital sent his stomach churning and as he answered, the words Tara, accident and hospital left him fearing the worst.

His secretary Eric had knocked and open the door, his face concerned. Thomas had cleared his throat, telling him to reschedule his meetings for the rest of the day as he hurried out the door.

When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor had explained that Tara had been involved in an accident. He swallowed the bile that threatened to come up as he thought about five years prior, the last time he was in this situation.

But Tara was okay, the doctor explained. She did hit her head on the steering wheel so they were monitoring her for concussion and brain trauma but her vitals otherwise seemed okay.

He took a deep breath before calling Alma, Eiko and Levi separately, Alma assuring him that she would pick up the girls.

"What should I tell them?" Alma had asked.

He wasn't sure. "Just that she was in an accident and she's okay. I'll let you know the details as I get them."

They let him into her room and his stomach dropped as he saw his wife in her hospital bed with a bandage around her head. Her eyes were closed and he felt relief as he observed her chest moving up and down, indicating her breathing.

He spent the next or two hour pacing back and forth. He was able to talk to both of the girls, courtesy of Alma and Luz sounded as if she was holding back tears the entire time, no doubt thinking about her own mother. Zoey, he learned later, had been consoling her sister and was oddly calm.

"Let me know when she wakes up." She had said.

"Of course." He said tiredly as he sank into the chair.

"And Papa? Mom will be okay. She's stronger than she looks."

"Thanks, Astro." He mumbled.

When Tara opened her eyes, he had felt relief. He wasn't quite sure how he would handle going through that pain again. But when she looked at him, she looked confused and the realization that she could not remember anything before moving to Godcliffe- the custody battle, her friends, and him and Luz…

When Soledad died, he didn't think that he would ever find love again. Tara had been a surprise, a second chance at happiness.

And now she couldn't remember him.

"All of her memories are from three years ago." He said to the doctor. He told Tara brief details about how she and Zoey had moved in with him and Luz and how they had gotten married six months after. How she had finished her bachelor's degree and was now running a bakery with her friend Alma.

When she began to start nodding off, he decided she needed a break. He had leaned in to kiss her out of instinct, but when she looked surprised he had kissed her on the forehead instead.

"Unfortunately, that was the result of her head trauma." The doctor sighed. "I can't tell you how soon she'll be able to remember things, Mr. Mendez. The hope is that she can keep forming memories and that the old ones will come back to her. Take it slow with her, it may be frustrating for her when she knows she should know someone but can't remember."

"My daughter, Luz. She lost her own mother already and I don't know if Tara will remember her. How do I explain that to a twelve year old?"

He wanted to punch something out of frustration. Poor Luz, who had found so much comfort in Tara would potentially face another heartbreak.

"The main thing I can recommend is making sure you all go to a therapist. It's obviously going to be hard on all four of you. Your friends and family are going to be the best support in this period of time." Her beeper went off and she sighed. "I need to go meet with another patient, but feel free to call the hospital if you have any questions. You have my info."

Tara stayed under supervision for the next few days. Thomas visited at lunch for each of them. He would bring her food from her favorite places and she would give him a smile in return. He followed what the doctor's advice and mostly talked about their daughters and their friends, showing her pictures from his phone.

Luz and Zoey came by the day before Tara had been scheduled to be discharged. Tara's eyes filled with tears when she saw her daughter, older than she remembered. Luz had been standing at the door frame as her sister reunited with their mother.

"I'm Luz." She said as Tara's eyes met hers over Zoey's shoulder. "I'm one of your daughters. Step-daughter, I guess but you just always call me your daughter."

Zoey stepped to the side as Luz walked closer to Tara's bedside. Tara reached out and took her hand as she sat down in the chair.

"Do you remember me, Tara?" Luz asked, her voice trembling.

Tara stared at her, hard in concentration. If she could choose to remember anyone, she would remember this girl who looked at her with sad, pleading eyes.

"I'm sorry, Luz." She whispered back finally. "I wish I could remember. It's really hard right now, but I promise I'm going to try."

Luz's lower lip trembled as she put her arms around Tara, tears running down her face.

"It's okay, Mom."

"That was hard." Tara sighed, after Zoey and Luz left. "If I could remember anyone, it would be her. Not that I wish I couldn't remember you, Thomas!"

Thomas chuckled as he sat down next to his wife. "I know. I would have you remember her too. That's what it's like to be a parent. You wish the happiest for your kids."

"Zoey looks so tall. I remember her at nine and now she's so much older."

Thomas watched as her hands clutched and unclutched the bedding. He reached over and took her hands, and she looked at him.

"Does it bother you that I don't remember you?" She asked in a quiet voice.

"It's more like an ache in my heart." He sighed. "I am so used to having you as my partner in crime. I also remember how much you struggled when you first came here and I remember how resilient you were with every damn thing thrown your way."

"You speak so highly of me."

Whenever he complimented her, Tara had always given him a sweet smile and then looked down, biting her lip. Watching her do that now, made his heart both flutter and ache.

"I think the world of you, Tara." He said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "And I have the urge to kiss you right now. But I don't want to push this faster than you're comfortable with. I want you to come home with us and you can stay in the guest bedroom next to Zoey's."

"You're so sincere." She mused. "And a good person. I might fall in love with again."

Thomas laughed. "We'll figure things out as they go. But for the record, Tara, I fall in love with you again and again, day after day."

Tag list: @chetachisblog @annekebbphotography @princess-geek @malakbesharah @lilyofchoices @ao719 @marycarrillo21 @blackcatkita @kamybelen-blog @randomchoicesblog @cxld-play

Tara's birthdays never was a very important thing for her… When she was with Guy, he used to said it was just a regular day, that it was stupid spend a lot of money in things like a cake or expensive gifts, even when he made a huge meal with his friends every year. At that moment she didn't care, she thought she was happy with him. Thankfully, eventually, things ended with him and she discovered what real happiness was. After Rory's born, Tara didn't care about her birthday either, she was always busy, tired or broken, but she didn't mind, Rory was with her, she was her everything and they were happy in their little own world.

Her alarm began to blare and, without open her eyes, she turned it off. This year, even when everything was really, really good, she felt a little sad that Rory wasn't with her this time.

"Stay, enjoy your birthday." Thomas's sleepy voice said from beside her. He turned and hugged her from behind, kissing her nape. "Happy birthday, gorgeous". She could feel his smile on her neck while he kept kissing her there. She loved his lips on her back, neck, lips… Honestly, everywhere.

"I can't miss work, Thomas" she said smiling, feeling his hand in her belly, brining her near to his chest. "Don't be a bad influence on me". She giggled softly.

"Me? Never" Thomas said while his lips started kissing behind her ear softly. "I just think… Since it's your birthday… We could take the day off… And enjoy ourselves since the girls are gone" Every pause he made was accompanied with a kiss on each of her favorite places to be kissed. Rory and Luz were in a four days field trip with Eiko and the rest of their class at NASA, Houston. They had programmed lots of conferences, guide tours, workshops, meet and greet with some astronauts, etc. Needless to say how exciting Rory was. However, Tara felt a little insecure, she never was so many days separated from her and a such distance.

"You think we should call them? Just to be sure?" She said turning in his arms to face him. "Or maybe text Eiko! She can tell us if they are okay"

"Sweetie, you talked with Eiko last night and the girls send a selfie after that. They probably are just waking up too. They are okay." He said while caressed absently her back.

"I know... you right! I'm sorry" She kissed him on the lips. "I really should get up"

"Probably" He said leading her even closer to his chest while his mouth went to her neck, kissing there and biting a tiny part of skin. Tara closed her eyes with a smile on her face, sighing happily while her fingers touched Thomas's hair. "But again, you could always choose don't go and celebrate your birthday with me." He redirect his lips to her mouth, kissing her deeply.

"Fine, fine! You win!" She said laughing at his triumphant look. "Just let me text Sally to let her know, I hope I don't complicate the things in the shop... Are you gonna call to the study?" She said taking her phone and writing a text to Sally.

"No, I let them know yesterday." He said with a satisfied grin. God, she loved his smile.

"You, Mr. Mendez, are terrible" Tara giggled.

'Hey Sally! If it's not much problem, and I'm so sorry for the short notice, but since it's my birthday, can I take the day off? If you need me there, please let me know'

'Happy birthday Tara! Yesterday, Alma thought that maybe you take the day off so we are prepared for it. Enjoy your day and see you tomorrow!

"Done?" He asked, caressing her waist under her t-shirt.

"Done".

"Good" He rolled her so she could be on top of him. Tara laughed happily before looked him more serious, with adoration, stroking his cheek softly. Nine months had passed since the trial against Guy ended, and she still couldn't believe how everything went, Rory was with her, Guy out of their lives definitely and all thanks to this amazing man under her. She leane to kiss him, slowly, enjoying his lips against hers. They both deepened the kiss, mouths more demanding that before and his hands traveling to her hips.

"Oh my god!" She said hiding her head on his shoulder while Thomas laughed. Her stomach decide to demand food… in that moment... loudly.

"Okay gorgeous, let's make this right! First thing: breakfast. How about that place you like, the one with the rooftop?"

"Yes, please!" She kissed his cheek and got up. They change, Thomas in a simple jersey and black jeans and Tara in a short blue dress. Although everything was amazingly good between them, they decide not live together yet. However, they both had each other's home keys and some clothes of them and the girls in both places. At first they tried to hide their relationship from Luz and Rory, they didn't wanted to excite them in advance, just in case. The only problem was that they sucked hiding their happiness and the way they interacted each other every time they were together, so they had to come clean with them. The day before of her birthday, she went back to her apartment after work and invite him to stay with her.

She took her jacket and purse, he grabbed his car keys and they left the apartment holding hands. The coffee they went was a beautiful building with a huge sunny rooftop, Tara didn't know if was the sun, the fresh air up there or the flowers around her, but this was the most relaxing place for her in the whole city and she loved share it with Thomas. His eyes, more blue than normal thanks to the bright sun, were fixed on her.

"What?" She asked with her cheeks a little more pink and a sweet smile on her lips.

"Nothing, I like see you happy" They kissed sweetly while Tara's foot began to climb his leg slowly under the table and she felt how his cheeks turned hot. "Don't tease me Tara, you know the effect this have on me" He said without breaking the kiss.

"That's why it's so funny to do" she smiled.

"You know? That it's still one of my favorites memories of us" He said taking her hand. "Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of moments that I love, but that one was the first time I felt ready to start this with you… And I really wanted to kiss you in front of everyone."

"I'm glad". She said intertwining their fingers. "Cause I really wanted to kiss you too"

In that moment, the waitress came with a big breakfast for them: coffee, orange juice, a couple of beautifully decorated cupcakes, toasts, waffles and some fruits.

While they were eating, her phone rang and a video call from Eiko appears in the screen.

"It's Eiko" she said frowning, rushing to answered. When she did, and two huge smiles occupied the screen, she laughed at the sight of her daughter and Luz so happy. "Hi girls! Good morning! How's everything going?" She turned the phone so Thomas could see them too.

"Oh my god mom, this place it's incredible! Look look!!" Rory took the phone and spin it around, showing them computers, rocket's parts, some graphics and other stuff that she couldn't identified. She return the focus on Luz and her. "But we didn't call you for that, we wanted to wish you happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday, Tara! Hi dad!" Luz said smiling.

"Hi Lulu! Hi Rory! Are you behaving well, Luz?" He asked worried while Tara giggled.

"Yes, I am! Rory and Mrs. Matsunaga can tell you all about!" Luz said, proud.

"It's true! She only pushed August ones when he tried to get ahead of us in line!" Rory said, she looked something above the camera and then return her focus on them "Anyway, we have to go! Happy birthday mom! I love you! Bye Thomas!"

"Happy birthday again Tara, have a great day! Love you dad! Bye!"

"Bye girls! Enjoy and take care! Both of you! Love you!"

"Listen to everything Mrs. Matsunaga says! Have fun!"

Eiko's face appears in the screen.

"Hi guys! Happy birthday Tara! The girls are more than okay, so you both can be relaxed! I call if something happens but so far, everything it's perfect!" She said happily. "Anyway, I have to go, have an awesome day Tara, when I return, we will definitely celebrate with a drink." She winked and the call ends.

After finished the breakfast, they went to take a walk through a fair full of flowers, artisans, antiques, farmers, etc. Thomas sneaked his arm in Tara's shoulders and she hugged him by the waist. Luckily, the fair wasn't crowded and they could enjoy watching everything. Thomas buy her a ring she saw on one of the booth, a thin silver band with a beautiful piece of pyrite in the middle. She slipped in her finger, making it sparke in the light while he kissed the side of her head. She loved it and couldn't stop smiling at him.

Seeing Tara so happy, made Thomas's heart feel full of happiness and warm, she had suffered so much, moving there, dealing with PTA of the school, fighting against Guy, he just wanted to give her the world. Once the fair hadn't nothing more to offered, they started to walk through the car when she saw a poster in a movie theater that bring her attention.

"Casablanca! I love this movie, it's one of my favorites! Although I never have the chance to see it in theater" Thomas hugged her from behind, checking the time.

"The next function starts in 10 minutes, do you want to see it? After all, it's your day"

"You really want to? You sure?" While she leaned into his embrace.

"Of course, I like this movie!" He narrowed his eyes, and with a deeper, sensual voice said "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine"

She turned to him in his arms laughing softly, putting both of her hands in his chest and, batting her eyelashes, said "Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time" and he did it. Softly. Sweetly. Lovingly. They went inside, hand in hand, bought two tickets, sweet popcorn, Tara's favorite, and soda. The movie was great, in some part they chatted quietly and at the end, during the final kiss and goodbye, Thomas saw a few tears falling from her eyes. He didn't liked see her crying, not even for a movie… She already had cried too much. He took her hand in his, giving it a little squeeze and she puts her head in his shoulder with a soft sigh.

After the movie, they bought some supplies for dinner, he wanted to take her to some fancy restaurant and spoiled her, but she preferred something more relaxed.

"Do you mind if we go to my place? I need to check a few things" He said while they started to walk to his car.

"Of course not. Let's go" Tara said entering in the car.

Once they arrive, Tara put some music and went to the bedroom to leave her jacket, purse and shoes. When she returned, Thomas was cooking, humming a Joss Stone song that sounded on the background and she stood there, watching him, enjoying and loving the sight. She walked toward him, hugged from behind and singing along with Joss in his ear "Don't you know he is some kind of wonderful"

"Oh nice, you think I'm adorable and wonderful, huh?" That damn beautiful smile of him on his lips.

"Shut up and kiss me, dork" She said moving on front of him.

His mouth were in hers in an instant, one of his hands went to the small of her back while the other turned off the oven as she hugged him by the neck, deepening the kiss. He pushed her against the counter while his tongue started to move in her mouth and she pressed tight against him, wanting to feel every part of his body. Thomas's mouth started travel to her neck, kissing and sucking a bit, while his hands caressing her hips. She put a single finger in the waist of his pants, leading him between her legs, closer. A groan escaped his lips and she felt the bulk of his pants grew considerably against her, putting a delicious pressure between her legs and she started to feel her body on fire like always used to happens when they where alone.

"Tara…? You want to…?"

"Yes… I want. Every. Single. Part. Of you"

"Thank god" he said and his hands grabbed her ass tightly. This wasn't the first time they made love but every time felt like their skins were burning, wanting to feel each other, wanting to be one. He raised her, with his hands still on her butt, and carried her to the bedroom with her legs around his waist while her mouth went to his shoulder and bite softly but hard enough to make him close his eyes for a second. Another groan leave him and she loved it.

They fell in the bed with their mouths together, hard against each other, while one of Thomas's hands began to roam torturously slowly in her leg up to her thigh, removing her dress out of the way. She shivered in anticipation.

"So eager" He said in her ear, his breath hot, so hot, and his voice deep, full of desire, nibbing her earlobe.

"For you? Always" Tara said, caressing his stomach and chest while she took off his jersey. He sat down with her on his lap, his lips on hers and his hands peeling off her dress. Once in her underwear, a black lace bra and panties transparent enough to drive him crazy, he started to kiss her chest, between her breasts, touching them with one hand while the other caressed her hips and leg. He took off her bra, kissing, cupping, touching with his tongue her boobs, making her moaned, he took his time with them both, making them hard rock and sensitive to his touch. Thomas's lips returned to her mouth while her hands pushed him closer by his pants, removing his belt and unbolting it.

"This off. Now". He obey, dropping it on the floor and returning a top of her.

"Tell me what you want"

She kissed him hard and tugged his bottom lip softly. "I want your mouth all over me"

His lips traveled by her throat, neck, shoulders, breast, belly, leaving tiny marks and goosebumps, he could feel the hot of her skin inside his mouth, like a fire that it's going to consume him. His mouth finally landed between her legs, softly kissing above her panties before remove them slowly until he dropped it to the floor.

"So ready for me" Thomas said with his breath hot against her skin, making her tremble. His tongue went inside her, touching her clit barely at first, holding her hips in place, provoking her until she let out a groan. He started to eat her out, licking and sucking her pussy hard, putting one finger inside her and starting to moving it, after a few moments, a second finger joined and he move them faster and deeper.

Tara's eyes were closed and her mouth open, breathing hard and moaning loudly, her hands on his hair, grabbing it like an anchor, her hips moving with his mouth and fingers, desperate for some release.

"Fuck Thomas". She never swear except in sex with him, he loved to hear her saying that kind of things, losing control in his arms. He could feel in his mouth how close she was to coming, with one hand he took off his boxers finally settling free his dick, while his mouth return to hers in a heatedly kiss, he rolled up a condom and pressed his hips to hers, before pushing in.

"Stop… teasing… me" she said between painting, with their mouths still together. "I need you"

So his dick enter her pussy hard, filling her, making her moan loudly, her hands in his back while her nails scratched his skin. He groan in her ear while starting bang in and out faster.

"Damn Tara, you drive me crazy"

"Don't stop Thomas… Please don't stop"

"Never"

He kissed her throat feeling the vibrations of her moans in his lips while her legs rolled up around him, pulling him even close. They both were moaning and panting, skin hot and sweated, hands touching everywhere.

"Say my name, baby" Keeping the thrusts while one of his hands start caressing her clit again. Her back arching at him, overwhelmed, holding at his shoulders with her knuckles white. "Moan for me"

"Oh my god, Thomas! Yes!" Her eyes firmly closed, pleasure all over her factions. "Shit… I… Thomas, I'm almost… Fuck!" her voice shallow.

"Come to me, Tara" His thrusts and her loud moans filling the room. She couldn't resist anymore, it was too much, he was too much.

Realising a final groan of pleasure while saying his name, she come hard, shivering like crazy, still holding his shoulders. A few seconds later, he followed her, cumming inside her before falling on top of her, being careful to not crushed her. The stay like that for a moments, panting and catching their breaths, Tara's hand caressing his hair while his head was in her chest.

"Definitely… best birthday ever." She said with her voice still a little taken. He chuckled, rested his elbows on the bed and kissed her softly.

"I have something for you" he said getting up and putting his boxer on while she dress up in her panties and some Thomas's t-shirt that looked oversized on her. She loved sleep in his t-shirt, even when they sleep together, feeling the smell of his aftershave lotion and perfume in her skin was one of her favorite things. He went through his closet and took a little wrapped package, return to bed and sit beside her, kissing her cheek. "Happy birthday, beautiful"

She sit up a little more straight and opened it. Inside was a gorgeous white gold chain with a delicate 'T' on it, also in white gold. She stood there in silence, staring at it, with her fingers touching it delicately and her eyes bright with tears.

Thomas's heart aching. Maybe she didn't like it, maybe she hated white gold, or the initial, what if she thought it was a way to take claim of her, since they both shared the initial? Oh god, maybe she was waiting an engagement ring? He knew he should checked the gift with Rory.

"We can do it in yellow gold if you preferred, I just notice you never use yellow gold but maybe I mistaken. Or you can changing it if you don't like it, for something else--"

"No! No, it's perfect! I love it! It's just…" a tear fall down on her cheek and she dried it with a tiny smile. "I can't even remember the last time someone made my birthday so special" he lead her near to his chest and hugged her tight, kissing her forehead. "Don't get me wrong, be with Rory it's the best thing in my life, wouldn't change it for anything… But, this birthday, with you, was just amazing… You didn't had to do all this, you know that, right?"

"I know I didn't had to, I wanted to. You deserve this and so much more." He said caressing her cheek and kissing her softly. "And I have the intention to give you everything I can. I love you, Tara" That it. The first time he told her those three words. There was no hesitation in his voices, his eyes full of love and his hands holding her close.

"I love you too, Thomas" They kiss again, slow and deep, putting all their feelings in it. She took the chain out of the box, and turned, directing her back to him, holding her hair up with one hand. "Help me putting it?" She said smiling wide while handing him the chain.

"Of course" Thomas kissed her nape before hanging the necklace in place and close it behind her neck. She turned to him, glowing of happiness.

"How do I look?" She was sitting on his lap, with his t-shirt and her lace panties on, her hair messy after sex falling on her shoulders, a huge smile and the 'T' in her chest.

"Like the most beautiful woman in the world" They snuggled together in bed, covering with a blanket.

"So…" she said touching delicately the chain around her neck. "This is why you wanted to came here?" A playful smile on her face.

"Maybe" He told, with his cheek a little red. She giggled and snuggled near to him, putting her head in his chest.

"Thank you Thomas, I really love it" he could feel her smile on his skin.

"We didn't finish the dinner" Thomas said after a moment of silence, with his hand on her waist, caressing there, holding her close to him. "You want me to bring something to eat?"

"Forget it. I'm enjoying this way too much so don't you dare move of here" She kissed softly his chest. "I just realized that this was the first time we had a whole day for us… No working, no schedules or crazy PTA parents… I miss the girls a lot, but this was wonderful"

"Yeah, I haven't noticed that either… it was nice having you all for myself" He kissed her forehead again before they both started to fall asleep, holding each other close.

The winning

Book: Mother of the year

Pairing: Thomas Mendez x MC (Tara)

Summary: The trial against Guy ended and Tara and Thomas won.

Warning: fluff / harassment

Words: 2.027

Note: For start English it's not my first language, so maybe it's something wrong written (sorry about that!), I'm not a lawyer nor North American and probably the legal stuff I putted, is shit and I'm not sure if I should write a second part, if someone would like to read it, let me know!

Catch up: Well, it's not a continuation but totally fits between By her side and Happy birthday, Tara

Tag list: @chetachisblog @annekebbphotography @princess-geek @malakbesharah @lilyofchoices @ao719 @marycarrillo21 @blackcatkita @kamybelen-blog @randomchoicesblog @cxld-play

"Mommy!" Rory runs through Tara and she crouch hugging her daughter tightly, kissing her head. "Don't cry mommy, I don't like see you cry."

"I know baby, but theses are happy tears. I'm just super happy that you can stay with me!" And she kissed her again, she rise her gaze and, with her eyes with tears, smiled at Thomas, the most bright and happy smile he ever saw on her, and he felt how he blushed. Looking at Tara so happy holding Rory, and smiling at him, was one of the most wonderful things he ever saw.

"I'm happy too! I didn't like living with dad." She frowned for a bit and then looked at Tara with a big smile. "Can we go to the cafeteria? I saw a cupcake that I would like to try."

"Oh baby, I don't know…" Tara didn't know if she need to sign something and, to be honest, she wanted to thanks Thomas everything he did for her.

"I can take her if you like" Alma said, winking at Tara. She accompanied them to take care of Rory while they hear the judge final decision and she had ruler in Tara's favor.

She watched at Thomas again, putting some papers in his briefcase, and then at Rory and Alma. "Okay, go. Rory don't separated from Alma, okay? And be careful with the soy!" She nodded and they left to the cafeteria, happily chatting.

She stand up and went through Thomas and before he could say anything she was hugging him tightly, burying her head in his shoulder, softly crying again. "You did it" Her voice soft, full of emotions. "I can believe it's finally over and everything is okay thanks to you" He felt her smile in her words and hugged her back, caressing her hair softly, holding her close, feeling her soft sobs.

"Nobody can take her away from you again,Tara. It's over" She keep crying, holding him even more tight.

"I- I think I could never thank you enough, Thomas." They were still in the courtroom and the room began to empty. He could hear from the other side Guy and Vanessa arguing heatedly, he was pissed off that she didn't won and she was furious that Thomas was better than her… Again.

"You don't need to thank me, I already told you, I care about you and Rory" He took a step back and kissed her, his lips moving with hers, his tongue softly exploring her mouth, a little too heatedly for the place but they were almost alone so they didn't care. His hands in her waist bringing her closer, chest with chest, while her arms went to his neck, softly caressing his nape. After a moment, they separated a bit to catch their breath, still holding each other close.

"Do that again" She said with her eyes barely open and her lips almost touching his, smiling. He chuckled softly and crashed his mouth with hers, taking her breath away once more. They stayed like that for a moment, enjoying every second of it.

"This is disgusting." Vanessa scoffed at them.

Thomas turn to her, keeping his hands in Tara's waist. "What do you want, Vanessa?" Tara didn't say anything, she just keep hugging him with a soft smile, she done dealing with her.

"We need to check the paperwork so we can end with this shit." She took off and Thomas sigh.

"It's okay, go, I'll wait you outside" She blushed, suddenly nervous. "I mean, if you want to. If not I can pick up Rory and--" He cut her with another kiss, more sweet.

"I want to take you out to celebrate" He said caressing her waist, still holding her with his hands. "We can go with the girls and then call the nanny and do something just you and me" His cheeks red again, she smile at him, she never had told Thomas this but she loved when he blushed.

"Like a date?" Her hand softly touching his hair, still hugging him and still in his arms.

"Yeah!-- I mean, if you like it, but we don't have to-- I mean, I would love a date with you but--" She planted a soft tiny kiss in his lips, cutting his babble.

"I would love that" Tara kissed his cheek and loosen her hold on him, a wide smile in her face. He never have saw her this happy, she looked more beautiful than ever.

"I'll be there in a minute" Thomas said, disengaging her waist, already missing her warm.

She went to the hallway, since the trial ended, it was completely empty until a new one started, so she leaned her back in the wall, closing her eyes still smiling like a teenager. Rory was with her, Guy couldn't take her away and Thomas kissed her like never before. This wasn't the first time they had kissed but it was the first time they did it so free, without worries or guilts, just a couple sharing an amazing victory kiss together. She stood there, enjoying the moment.

"So I was right, you are fucking your lawyer." Guy leaned beside her, his arms crossed, staring at her with resentment.

"Leave me alone, Guy. I have nothing to talk with you." She took her phone and started to text to Levi and Eiko the good news, completely ignoring him.

"You think you had win?" Guy's voice was cold, his eyes looked like steel, glaring at her, his lips in a thin line.

"Well, the judge thinks that, so… Yeah! I won! Even with all the bullshit you invented." She took a few steps away from him and he followed her.

"How do you pay him, huh? He looks expensive" He said, looking at her with anger and a pinch of jealousy in his tone.

"You must to be kidding me." She sighed, frustrated, rolling her eyes. "That's not your damn problem" She faced him, furious and annoyed. After everything he done, he still doesn't leave her in peace. "Unlike you, he's a awesome person, and whatever I do or stop doing with him, or anyone else for what matters, it's not your fucking problem. Now, leave me alone." Her gaze return to her phone, reading a congratulations message of her friends when Guy's hand grabbed her wrist, hard. "What the hell is your problem, asshole?"

"I want an answer and I want my daughter." His grip painfully more tight on her wrist.

"Guess what?" You are not having any of those things." She tried to free her hand but he was stronger. "Let me go, Guy."

"I don't want to" His grip harder, she winced, she should punch him or kick him in the balls, but what if anyone saw that and she puts Rory in risk again? God knows Vanessa would probably take the opportunity, without doubt.

"You are hurting me!" She could feel her skin burning and tried to free her hand again. Before either of them could do or say anything, Thomas was grabbing Guy's jacket and pushing him against the wall, hard. He was livid, his eyes colder than never.

"Touch her like that again and I'll break your hands". Guy's eyes wider, a mixed between surprised and fear until he scoffed and smiled cynically.

"Yeah, I want to see you doing it, pretty boy" He looked at Tara, nastily. "Like she worth risking your career by punching me here" Thomas pushed him again, harder. He couldn't believe this jerk were Rory's father and Tara's ex.

"You wanna try me?" He was using his lawyer voice, his knuckles white grabbing Guy's jacket, his blood boiling inside him. Tara putted her hand in his shoulder, squeezing, calling his attention.

"Thomas, stop" Her voice even but firm, she would love to see someone punching Guy in the face, but she didn't want he had problems because of her.

"He hurt you! He's been trying to do everything he could to make your life a living hell, Tara!" He looked at Guy with almost hate. "He don't deserve your kindness"

"I don't care about him! He don't worth it, he just a jerk" She touched his arm, softly, feeling his tense muscles under her hand. "I care about you" He looked at her, she had her eyes on his, completely ignoring Guy, with a tiny smile. Thomas loosen his grip on him and she took his briefcase, that he dropped when he saw the situation, and his hand, leading him away from Guy. They entered in a empty hallway and, without a word, she pull him into a one arm hug, without release his hand and he return the gesture, one hand holding her waist and the other intertwining their fingers.

"No one never defend me like that." Before he could say anything, she kissed him, moving her lips slowly against his, making him feel the kiss in his whole body. "Thank you". She smiled at him, still holding his hand.

"Stop thanking me" He said with a chuckle, holding her close, hugging her low back with one hand while she caressing his cheek until she winced.

"Let me see." He took her hand softly, like it was the most precious thing in the world, and carefully move her sleeve out the way. Her wrist was a swollen and a pretty big bruise was forming around it. "I'm going to kill that bastard" he said so low that she barely heard him.

"Hey, it's okay. It's not so bad, it just a bruise, it would heal." He looked into her eyes, taking a lock of hair out of her face.

"You could press charges against him, you know it, right?" Thomas said watching her wrist, concern, caressing her hand carefully, he didn't wanted make her hurt.

"I know, but…" she released a deep sigh, closing her eyes for a moment. "I'm tired. I'm so tired of being judged, to be scared or worried. I don't want to keep fighting with Guy, he doesn't worth it. I just want to be with Rory, enjoy life and.. uh… see where this take us" Her cheeks hot and, even she was avoiding his eyes, she had a smile on her face. "I mean, if you want that, I don't want to pressure you."

"I do" He putted both of his hands in her waist, taking a step through her. "I like you Tara, I want to hold you, kiss you, take you on dates… I want to try this with you. All of it" He kissed her slowly, feeling her smile in the kiss and her hands in his chest.

"We should told the girls?" His voice was so sweet and warm it seemed incredible that only a few moments ago he would have been so angry.

"Maybe not yet? I would love tell them but I think we have to figure things out ourselves first… And enjoy it for a bit alone?"

"I think that's perfect" They stood in a comfortable silence before return hand by hand to the cafeteria. Before they arrived, he kissed the hand he was holding and released her so Rory didn't see.

"Hey sweetie." She sit beside Rory and kissed her head "How was the cupcake?"

"It was delicious! Alma buy me a red velvet one!" She said with a huge grin.

"That's awesome baby!" She mouthed a 'Thank you' at Alma. "You wanna hang out with Luz and Thomas for a bit?"

"Yes! I want to tell Luz how cool was when the judge smashed the hammer!" Thomas laughed softly, he knew better that anyone how much Luz hated all the lawyer stuff.

"Well, that's my cue! It's a family moment" Alma said winking at Tara and Thomas, both of them with their faces suddenly blushed. Rory was distracted so she didn't hear her.

"Thank you Alma, for everything" Tara hugged her tightly.

"How was the kisses?" She said in her friend ear.

"Fucking amazing" Tara answer and they both laughed. They took Thomas's car and went to pick up Luz, after all, they had a celebration to do.

The afterward

Book: Mother of the year

Pairing: Thomas Mendez x MC (Tara)

Summary: Thomas leave the bar after their first kiss, how the things are going to be?

Warning: angst (with a kinda of happy ending) / fluff

Words: 2.168

Note: I'm not a lawyer so maybe the tiny legal part I putted it's bullshit 🤣 Also, English it's not my first language, sorry if it's something off or wrong here.

Tag list: @chetachisblog @annekebbphotography @princess-geek @malakbesharah @lilyofchoices @ao719 @marycarrillo21 @blackcatkita @kamybelen-blog @randomchoicesblog @cxld-play

He sit in his car and drove a few blocks, stopping in front of a park. His elbows in the wheel and his head in his hands. Why? Why he had to kiss her? He told her he needed more time, so why he did that? He knew she liked him, she already told him that, so why he couldn't resist a little more and do the things right, like she deserves? How he could be so selfish to kiss her and leave her, probably hurting her, when she was so scared of losing Rory? His hand hit the wheel hard before he sigh and lean against the seat. Tara probably hated him.

He liked her, a lot and he adored Rory as well, he wanted the best for them and he wanted to destroy Guy and Vanessa for make her go through this hell but he wasn't sure how handle what he felt for her. Every time she smiled, touched him, he heard her laugh, his heart stopped, he wanted to take her in his arms and kiss her like no one ever did. Exactly like he just did. But… was he ready to move on, completely? Soledad was with him the most part of his life and when she died, he still loved her like the first day. And Luz. He knew Luz liked Tara as well and god knows how much Luz and Rory adores each other, but… how she would take a new relationship? He didn't wants she felt he was replacing Soledad, no one could never do that.

Tara told him once she would waiting him… But for how long? She was a smart, funny, beautiful woman, he could see how Eiko look at her and she had mentioned a neighbor, some guy called Levi that went with her to her first summons, what if she decide it was enough waiting and chose someone else? His heart aches at that thought. He turned on the car and drove back to his office.

He tried to focus in the cases he was working on. He read some statements, saw a couple of videos that another lawyer sent him and had a meeting with a possible new client. However, every time he had a free minute, his mind returned to her. Tara, and her smile when she saw him. Tara, with that t-shirt showing her belly. Tara, looking at him while he took off his shirt. Tara, with her lips on his. Tara, and her eyes telling him how heartbreaking she felt when he pushed her away.

Hours later, his torturously slow day ended, late. He took his briefcase and phone. Before go out he opened the conversation with Tara, should he text her? Or maybe call her? And said what? Sorry for the kiss? That not only sounds horrible but also it would make her feel worse. He felt how much she wanted to kiss him and tell her that, not only would break her heart it will also kill any chance he still got to be with her. If there was still any. He putted the phone in his pocket and drove back home.

He found Luz in the kitchen island doing her homework with Fanny, her nanny. He kissed her daughter head, change his clothes and return to the kitchen.

"How was you day, Lulu?"

"Fine, but I missed Rory in the last period, her dad went for her early." He took her from school early? That wasn't part of the deal. "I saw him today in the school. I don't like him, he treated Rory's mom bad and he didn't believed Rory that August broke her rocket on purpose" She said, frowning.

"Yeah, I don't like him either, sweetie. Fanny, you want we give you a ride to home?"

"No! Wait!" Luz said, panicked. "She is helping me with math! I have a test tomorrow and I don't understand it!" Thomas looked at her.

"It's okay, Mr Mendez, I can stay until she understand it, I don't have classes tomorrow." Mr Mendez was her favorite client, he always treat her with respect and he loved her daughter.

"In that case, how about a pizzas?" He asked. He went to the fridge and remember the day Tara helped him with the braid for Luz, how close they were to kiss if Luz haven't entered the kitchen. He sigh. He needed to talk to her and fix the things, he couldn't lose her. He wanted to be with her, he just didn't know how.

"Dad! Your phone is ringing!" Luz said walking through him, looking at the screen. "It's Rory's mom"

He took it and answer the call while Luz returned with Fanny.

"Hi Tara" Thomas said, awkward. He didn't know if he should treat her like always or directly apologize for how he leave the bar.

"Hi Thomas" She said, sounded tired and sad, her voices lower than normal.

"You okay?" Of course she wasn't okay, she not only was dealing with the custody battle but also with him, he thought with guilt.

"I… Can you came over, if you can? Please? It's important"

"Tara, if this is about today I--"

"No, it's not about that. It's about my case, can you?"

"On my way"

"Thank you" And she cut the call.

"Fanny, I need to check on with someone urgently, can you stay? I'll paid you the double and I'll take you home after."

"There's no need for that Mr. Mendez, I'll stay as long as you need, besides this young lady need to learn this equations for tomorrow."

"Thank you." He took his keys and kiss Luz in the cheek. "Pay attention to Fanny, Luz. Call me if you need anything, I'll be back as soon as I can"

He was knocking her door ten minutes later. When she opened, a guy was inside, sitting in the couch. He stand up and walk through the door, looking at Thomas resentment.

"Thomas, hi" Tara said. She didn't tried to hugged him like she used to do or smiled at him, she was just.. sad. Every part of her body conveyed sadness. "This is Levi, my neighbor. And he's Thomas, Rory's best friend dad and my lawyer" Just her lawyer? Thomas thought with an ached in his heart. He couldn't blame her.

"I'll let you both to talk" Levi said, looking at Tara. "Knock if you need anything" He said taking her arm softly, giving it a little squeeze. A rush of jealousy ran through Thomas's body.

"Thank you, Levi." She smiled at him, he left and Thomas went in. She was wearing a motorcycle jacket, like she just arrived home.

"Thanks for coming" She said, sitting in the couch. " Sorry to bother you--"

"You never bother me" He said sitting beside her. "At contrary"

"I'm not so sure about that" She said with a tiny sad smile and he felt a stab of guilt. "It just, I'm so lost right now." She hugged herself and a few tears fall from her eyes. He started to caressed her back softly, trying to calm her. He noticed something weird in the apartment, it was to quiet and Rory's bedroom door was open, empty.

"Tara… Where's Rory?" He could guess the probably answer to that question and his blood started to boil.

"She is with Guy." Tears continued falling and he hugged her by the shoulders. "I went a little more late to his stupid hotel, I had to go to a rocket things shop in the otro side of the city first, and he already putted her in bed. He didn't let me see her or even give her the stuff she needs for the project. He just took the box out of my hands, closed the door in my face and said that he is going to use this against me"

"You are telling me… that- that piece of shit… didn't give you back you daughter, even when it was previously agreed?" During a second, he forgot he was a lawyer, he forgot she needed his academic side, he forgot all the logical reasoning, for just one second he was a pissed off man wanting to punch another guy in the face. She nodded, looking at him surprised, she had never hear Thomas this angry or swearing like that.

"Okay, you have some witnesses about the shop?" He asked returning to what she needed, a very good and furious lawyer.

"Yeah, I got the call of the guy letting me know he had the pieces, the receive of the shop, I think he had cameras in the shop, I texted Guy to letting know I was a little late, he said he never received it, and Eiko drove me there in her motorcycle." That explained the jacket. Another jealousy rage ran through his body.

"Good, that it's enough to prove you were doing something important for your daughter." He looked at her, so broken, he wanted to sit her in his lap and hugged her all night if it was necessary. But he couldn't, and he was the only one to blame. "I know it's your apartment but… can I make you a tea? It would help you to relax"

"If you sure" she said and told him were find the things. A few minutes later, he sit beside her with two cups of tea. "Thank you" She grabbed one of the cups and took a tiny sip. "And thank to continue with my case" She was looking at her cup, avoiding his eyes.

"Why I wouldn't continue?" He asked, genuinely confuses.

"After what happened early maybe you had changed your mind" He closed his eyes, sighing.

"Tara… I would never do that. I would never abandon you like that, not with something so important." She keep it looking at the cup in her hands. "And about what happened,I--"

"Thomas stop. Please, I don't want to talk about that, not tonight at least." She dried annoyed a tear. "You don't feel the same way I do, I get, it's okay, really, it just…" she looked at him for just a moment and avoid his gaze once more. "I thought you did"

"I do!" How could she think that? How could he allowed she felt that way? "It's not that"

"Then what it's?"

"I'm scared okay?" He said mad with himself. "I like you, a lot, and that scared me." He puts his head in his hands.

"You don't think that scared me too?" She said, finally looking at him, sad. "The last time I was with someone, I ended alone with a daughter to take care off, since that I haven't be able to trust or date to anyone. Except now you." She stand up and leaned on the frame of Rory's room. "I get the you went through a lot and I never wanted to pressure you, I just--"

"You haven't. I'm the one who messed up the things. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it this way" He stand up too and went beside her. He should hug her? Or take her hand?

"You sorry the kiss?" She sounded broken.

"No! No, I don't sorry the kiss. I wanted to kiss you. For so long now. I'm sorry how I handle things after that." He putted his hand in her cheek and she closed her eyes pressing her head against it. "I didn't mean to hurt you"

"I know" She opened her eyes and looked him. "And... I will wait for you, I still think you worth the wait" He smiled softly to her. "But… not forever". He nodded and slowly, awkwardly at first, hugged her.

"Just… a little more, I promise." She nodded in his arms and return the hug. "You have no idea how important you are to me Tara."

"You are important to me too, Thomas"

"And I promise Rory will be with you" He squeeze her a little more.

"I know, I trust you." Her voices soft against his shoulder.

They stayed like that for what's feel an eternity. At some point she told him she felt better and he needed to return with Luz so he let her rest while he returned to his place. He putted his phone alarm one hour early, he wanted to talk to the judge before Vanessa did. While he waited in some traffic light, he thought how right it felt having her in his arms and how much he wanted to feel that again. Maybe he needed to talk with Luz about it, see how she would feel if he and Tara started to date. Maybe if she was okay he would stop feel so guilty every time he thought to be happy without Soledad. Maybe he just needed to fully accept that she will never going back and it was time to move on. Maybe, just maybe, after two years, he needed to start to live again.
