“Thank you, but I think any mystery that existed is lost now,” Katie said in a groggy voice, her eyes barely open.
She was responding to Tyler pulling the tail of his ‘former’ shirt down to cover her naked and exposed derriere when he had gotten out of bed to use the bathroom. His stirring had brought her to a semi-awake state, but the feel of him repositioning her garment made her consciously smile at his attempt to protect her modesty.
Based upon what other women had told her about guys first thing in the morning, she suspected that Tyler might have a morning erection as he walked past her to the bathroom, she had attempted in kind to protect his modesty by keeping her eyes closed, feigning sleep until his return to bed.
When Tyler did lay back on the bed, he positioned himself on his side facing her, “You are a beautiful sight in the morning.”
“Are you referring to my face or my butt?” she asked with a grin.
“If I had to choose - and I hope I never have to – I would go with your face. Your freckles outshine your tan lines and your eyes outshine the sun.”
She brushed her hand against the stubble on his cheek, “I’m going to enjoy having you in my life more and more. You’re fun to be with. Can you excuse me for a few minutes?”
“If I must,” he said, knowing the reason for her needing to excuse herself.
Katie rolled over and stood beside the bed with her back to him as she raised her arms to stretch. Tyler watched her back as the tail of the shirt rose, but it never exposed more to him that the higher portions of her thighs.
Katie sensed him watching her, and a grin spread across her face. She took two steps towards the bathroom door before reaching back to pull the tail of the shirt up, exposing her bare derriere to him once again. She held it up until she reached the bathroom door when she let it drop.
“See, no mystery anymore,” she said with a smile back at him. “I’ll be right back.”
Tyler chuckled and rolled onto his back. Katie’s derriere was callipygian. It was the kind of butt that men looked at, and then looked again, every chance they got.
It wasn’t until he saw Cile standing in the doorway that he realized that they had left the door to the living room open all night. She looked tousled and groggy, but as beautiful as ever in the light blue satin robe she was wearing. She had it tied shut in a manner that had it clinging tightly to every curve of her body, and there were just the right amount of those to go around.
“I thought that I heard Katie talking to someone,” Cile said with a smile. “I’m going to kick her butt for not inviting me to your little slumber party.”
“It was kind of an impromptu thing,” Tyler tried to explain.
Cile raised a hand to stop his explanation and said in her patented seductive voice, “It’s obvious that nothing happened other than you two sharing a bed to sleep in, so I don’t think I missed much. You, on the other hand, might have missed a lot.”
Keeping her eyes locked on his, she placed her hands on the knotted belt around the robe and pulled it apart so that both ends fell to the side of the robe. She made a show of slowly opening the robe to teasingly reveal what lay beneath it. Tyler was not surprised when all that Cile’s teasing revealed was a matching jersey shirt and shorts outfit with a Disney character on both.
“What makes you think that we only slept together and didn’t do anything else?” he asked her.
Giggling, she said, “Because anyone who has seen the two of you together would know that when you finally make love to each other, it will be like divine providence revealing itself to the world. The skies will all have rainbows, Unicorns will once again inhabit the Earth, or there will be some other clear sign that all is now right with the world. Plus, it would be so obvious on both of your faces. You don’t have the look of someone who just made love to your soul mate for the first time.”
“I don’t know her well enough to decide if she is my soul mate or not, so don’t you think that you’re being presumptuous?”
Cile just smiled and began to pull the door closed behind her, “I’m going to go start the coffee. Tell Katie not to dawdle.”
Tyler laid there watching the door close, thinking about his conversation with Cile for a few minutes and the jolt of reality that it had presented him. Katie opened the bathroom door and ran back to the bed to join him. She crawled next to him and laid her head on his bare chest.
“I heard Cile, but I couldn’t hear what she was saying,” Katie said. “Was she surprised to see you here?”
“She didn’t appear to be too surprised. Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“When is your birthday?”
Katie hesitated a few seconds before asking, “Why do you want to know. I mean do you want a month, day and year to determine how old I am, just the month and day so you can buy me a present, or something else?”
Tyler ran his fingers through her hair and said, “Truthfully, I am just wondering whether or not you would tell me or if you still thought that the question was too personal to share with me.”
Katie considered her response. She knew that one major component required for an investigation into someone was their date of birth. Even if Tyler had just the date and month, she knew that them being the same approximate age would allow him to narrow hers down easily enough. She wasn’t afraid that he would find out anything about her since her father had always kept public records of her and JR restricted, but if he tried and saw the restricted access on her records, that would not be good.
“My birthday is the day after Cile’s. We were born exactly twenty-five hours apart.”
She felt the sigh in the movement of his chest before he spoke, “And Cile’s birthday is one day before yours. Got it.”
Katie started stroking his chest in earnest, trying to make him feel her trust in him, but in her heart, she knew that she was failing. She finally rolled over and sat up beside him and took his hand in hers. They could see their reflection in the mirror over the dresser and both just stared at the other in it.
“I thought that you liked a challenge,” she said
“One gauge of intelligence,” he said, “is being able to distinguish between a challenge and a lost cause. I don’t know how intelligent it would be for me to continue with this particular challenge.”
He made certain that her eyes were on his in the mirror before continuing, “You’ve stolen my heart, Katie. True, I was a willing victim, and you have never made any secret of your penchant for privacy, but I had hoped that I could win your trust eventually...”
“You just spent the night alone with me in my bed,” she exclaimed. “How can you even begin to think that I don’t trust you? I trust you more than any man I have ever known outside of my family.”
She reached over and turned his head so that they were looking at each other face to face instead of in the mirror, “Tyler, it is you who has stolen my heart. I want to share everything about myself with you. I want to share every hour of the day with you. You need to understand that knowing too much about me right now, or god forbid you tried to find things out about me from some other source would not be a good thing, for either of us.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand...”
She took his face in both of her hands and began kissing every spot on it she could reach before Tyler pulled away.
“Katie, at some point you are going to realize that I have a vested interest in knowing everything about you. You could do real damage to me if I get much more entangled into your web without knowing who you are. I’ll be dreaming of a future with you without even knowing what you want for yours. That scenario has heartbreak written all over it. I’m sorry, but that’s not fair to either of us.”
Tyler swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up. He could see that Katie had tears forming in her eyes through the reflection in the mirror when he retrieved his tee-shirt from the dresser and pulled it on over his head. He put his cell phone and keys into the pocket of his shorts.
“Thank you for a memorable evening,” he said as he prepared to open the bedroom door and leave.
“What are your plans for today,” Katie asked, climbing out of the bed on his side.
“I don’t know now. Probably just some laundry and other chores. Maybe go to the gym and work out for a while...”
“Do it here, with me. Bring your laundry over here and we can do ours together while we talk. I will tell you as much as I can to prove that I want us to have a future together as much as you do. If after your laundry is done you feel that we are a lost cause, I’ll respect that decision. I do trust you Tyler, but I need to protect you. I will try to make you understand. Please.”
“What time?”
“Whenever is convenient for you. Cile will be gone by eight, and you’re invited to have breakfast with us if you want. Any time after she leaves will give us an opportunity to talk.”
“Let me think about it,” he said. “I’ll text you beforehand if I am coming over.”
She walked over to him and placed her arms around his neck. She felt him tense, but he didn’t resist.
“Okay, Tyler. If it means anything to your decision, I think I’m falling in love with you. I can’t imagine any other reason why I would be offering to share the things that I want to share with you.”
He bent his head and gave her a quick peck on her lips, “Thanks for telling me, Katie. I’ll let you know.”
She followed him out into the living room where he simply waved to Cile who was standing in the kitchen before heading towards the front door. Katie touched his arm as he opened the door and said, “I really hope to hear from you, Tyler. Please give me a chance.”
“You have had lots of chances, Katie. I don’t know what one more will accomplish, but I’ll think about it.”
Without saying anything further, he left her condo and walked the short distance to his own. After unlocking the front door, he didn’t look back before entering and closing it behind himself.
Katie stood with tears growing in her eyes at the open door until she felt Cile’s hand on her arm, “I poured you some coffee. Let’s talk before I have to get ready to leave.”
Katie allowed her cousin to pull her away from the door so that she could close it, and then led her into the kitchen. Cile handed Katie a cup of coffee and then directed her to a seat at the dining table before sitting in a chair across from her.
“Are you upset because Tyler is upset, or is he upset because you’re upset?”
Katie wiped her teary eyes on the sleeve of the shirt she still wore, which made her want to cry even more when she smelled him on the fabric. Cile handed her a napkin and waited.
“He thinks I’m a lost cause,” Katie whimpered.
“Why? Because you two didn’t have sex last night?”
Katie snorted and said, “No. He knew that I would have willingly acquiesced to anything he wanted from me sexually. What I couldn’t give him were answers about myself that would allow him to learn too much about me. Oh, Cile, I wanted to, but I just don’t know how I will be able to draw the line when the time comes and not reveal something to him that I really shouldn’t.”
“I think that you should discuss this with your mom,” Cile advised. “You have listened far too long to your dad, my dad, JR and Joey, and their interest is solely to protect you. Your mom needs to know what’s going on between you and Tyler and her advice will focus on your happiness first and foremost. You know that.”
Katie sniffled a few times before taking a sip of her coffee and staring silently around her living room as if searching for answers that might be hidden there.
“I need to go get ready,” Cile said. “I’ll be as quick as I can so that we have some more time to talk before I have to leave.”
Katie just nodded and stared down into her coffee cup while Cile headed upstairs to the guest bedroom. When she heard the shower starting upstairs, Katie broke out of her funk long enough to take care of her jerboa’s food and water for the morning before heading into her bathroom to take a shower.
Closing her eyes as water ran over her head and face, Katie hoped that she would see an image of Tyler in her mind as she had the previous night, but all she saw was the memory of his dejected expression as he left her this morning.
Was she really falling in love with Tyler? Katie had no frame of reference for her feelings towards this man. They didn’t compare to even her most ardent teenage crushes, and even the one guy that she had considered a possible relationship with at Texas A&M meant nothing to her when she tried to conjure up those past feelings alongside what she felt for Tyler.
Then there was the apparent connection between them that they were just beginning to explore and understand. How could he have so much insight into her thoughts, wants and desires so quickly with apparent ease? Not to mention her visions of him, and the way that she could sense his eyes almost probing her very being with his desire to know and share who she was.
After drying herself off, Katie put on panties and then put Tyler’s shirt back on. After brushing her teeth and combing her damp hair, she went back out to the kitchen to see if Cile had returned downstairs. She found her standing in the kitchen rinsing out her coffee cup.
“You’re right,” Katie told her cousin. “I need to speak with my mom about Tyler and get her advice on what I should or shouldn’t tell him.”
Cile turned from the sink and smiled, “No one knows better than her the costs of keeping things secret. However, she also knows when keeping them does more harm than good. Listen to her. I’m sure that everything will work out if you do.”
“I hope so. Tyler is barely in my life right now and I can’t imagine it without him. He is the first person I can honestly say I need to need me. I really want there to be an ‘us’.”
Cile picked up her cell phone and checked the display, “My ride is here. I better get going.”
Katie embraced her cousin and best friend like the sisters that they had always been to each other, “I miss you already.”
“Why don’t you come home over the Labor Day weekend,” Cile suggested.
“I’ll think about it,” Katie said. “That’s half a month away, so I’ll let you know.”
Cile picked up her purse and headed for her suitcase sitting by the front door, “Who knows, maybe it will be a chance for you to introduce Tyler to your parents.”
Katie cringed at the idea, “I doubt any man would like me enough this early in a relationship to be able to handle my dad...”
“You said it yourself, Tyler is different. Don’t sell him short. If you have as much trust and faith in him as you displayed last night, then I know he will get past this. Call me tonight and let me know how things go. I love you.”
Cile gave Katie one more quick hug before opening the front door and heading down the walkway that led to the front of the complex, where her ride to the airport waited for her. Katie closed the door behind her and returned to her bedroom to retrieve her cell phone.
It was just after eight o’clock, which meant that it was just after ten in Texas. At that time on a Sunday morning, her parents would most likely be in their Sunday school class, followed by the eleven o’clock church service. She didn’t expect her mother to have her cell phone on, or she would at least have the volume turned down, but Katie knew that she would check for messages when church was over. She decided to send her a text and then wait for her mom to respond.
KATIE:Good morning Mom. I need to talk to you about something. Please call me when you get this message – preferably when Dad isn’t around to hear you.
At two in the afternoon, Katie still hadn’t heard anything from Tyler. She had been scripting what she wanted to tell him ever since she and her mother had spoken.
Cile had been right, and Katie knew as soon as the suggestion had been made that speaking to her mom was the right thing to do. Her mom asked all the relevant questions to gauge not only Katie’s feelings for Tyler, but also ascertain from almost two thousand miles away, just how trustworthy the man was who had captured her daughter’s heart.
The biggest unknown for her mother had been the same one that Katie had been dealing with, and that was the risk of letting one of the investigators in the Shoreline Mall case know too much about her. She and her mom had discussed the potential risk of not telling Tyler anything and then having him try to discover things about Katie through other sources. They had agreed that they needed to avoid him seeking information from sources other than Katie, if for no other reason than to protect him from the blow-back that would result.
As far as her personal details went, her mom felt that Katie had nothing to risk by sharing those with Tyler, as long as she did it correctly. She had reminded Katie that the background check which had been run on him showed that Tyler could be trusted enough with secrets to deem him eligible for a Top-Secret security clearance.
Now that she had confidence in sharing more of herself with Tyler, she was growing impatient with his silence. She decided to see if he would respond to a text from her.
KATIE:March 30, 2004TYLER:What about it?
KATIE:That’s my birthdate. I am ready to share it, and a lot more with you whenever you’re ready to listen.
TYLER:Is this some kind of joke?
Katie gasped at the response. Had things deteriorated so far with Tyler since their talk this morning that her attempts to now answer his questions were viewed by him as some sort of joke on her part?
KATIE:Why would telling you my birthdate be a joke?
TYLER:Because March 30, 2004, is MY birthdate, and you know that from the dossier you compiled on me.
KATIE:OMG! Are you serious? I never looked at the file for your birthdate. Honestly, March 30, 2004, is my actual birth date. I may have been secretive, but I have never lied to you.
Tyler considered her words. While he couldn’t verify whether or not Katie had ever lied to him, his intuition told him that she hadn’t. In his years as an investigator, his intuition about someone had never failed him, but should he trust it in his muddled and confused state of mind over this woman?
KATIE:Tyler, please come over and let’s talk. I know what I want to tell you. No, I know what I NEED to tell you, and I don’t think that you will be disappointed. At least I hope you won’t be.
Damn! He had resigned himself to the fact that he would not be able to accept Katie refusing to trust him. Ignoring her offer to come over and do their laundry together had seemed like the most prudent response, but now she seemed genuinely sincere in her desire to share herself with him.
TYLER:Why the sudden change of heart?KATIE:It’s always been in my heart where you are concerned. I sought some help getting it into my mind.
TYLER:Help from Cile?
KATIE:No, help from my mom. Please come over and I will try to explain.
TYLER:I already finished my laundry.
Katie looked at his words and tried to determine if they were figurative or literal. Had he already decided that they were through? She had to know.
KATIE:Laundry is just a chore. This is our future that we need to work on. Besides, I have enough laundry for both of us.
Five minutes passed without a reply from Tyler. Katie sat with her elbows on the dining room table and bent her head to rest her forehead on the palms of her hands. She closed her eyes, trying to think of what words she could use that would convince him of her sincerity.
There he was! In her mind, she saw Tyler clearly once again. He was wearing khaki cargo shorts and a Hawaiian style shirt, maybe the Tommy Bahama one he had told her that he would wear but didn’t. The image in her mind showed him holding his cell phone and simply staring at it. Suddenly, he raised his head and spoke to someone, and then walked towards his front door. Katie watched him moving in her mind, and she knew instinctively where he was heading. She didn’t bother checking her cell phone to see if he had texted her, but simply ran to her own front door and opened it.
He saw her standing in her doorway as soon as he stepped out of his own. He didn’t smile when he asked, “Is somebody anxious?”
Katie took a deep breath to try and staunch the sob threatening to erupt from her throat. Standing aside to allow him entry, she said, “You have no idea.”
They stood silently in the foyer after she closed the door. Finally, Tyler asked, “What time were you born on March thirtieth?”
“Six fifteen in the morning. Why?”
“Were you born in Texas?”
“Yes.”
Tyler turned and walked into the condo with Katie on his heels. He saw her cell phone sitting on the dining room table, so he pulled the chair in front of that spot out for her. She sat in the chair, tentatively watching as he went around and took the chair opposite her.
“I was born at four thirteen on the morning of March thirtieth. With the two-hour time difference, that means that we were born two minutes apart.”
Katie grinned and said, “I would respect you even if you weren’t my elder.”
Tyler didn’t smile in return, he simply asked, “So, what do you want to tell me?”
Katie wasn’t overjoyed with his attitude, but she understood it. “This will probably take some time. Could I convince you to brew up another pitcher of your Margaritas that we can drink while I explain things to you?”
Tyler turned his head and saw that most of the items he would need for mixing Margaritas were already sitting on the counter in the kitchen. Without speaking, he got up from his chair and walked into the kitchen. Katie rose and followed him.
