All Chapters of ALWAYS BEEN YOU : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

She whirled around. Determined to walk away from him. She had had enough of this conversation. Her first step was her last, because she felt him take her arm and pull her back towards him. She found herself pressed against his hard chest and she didn't want to be there. She couldn't think when she was that close to him."Let me go, Jensen" she said breathlessly. He was so big, so dark, so powerful. So angry! She couldn’t help herself. She automatically tried to back away from him. She couldn't. He was everywhere, looking as big and formidable as ever.New lines formed around his mouth and eyes. His gaze stroked over her, piercing through any protective barriers she thought to construct. He’d always had a way of seeing right to the heart of her."No" he said, His eyes blazing, glittering with anger and frustration. “I’m not going anywhere, Kat. Really, I can't believe you're still throwing that in my face. How many times do I have to

"What In the world are you two doing?" Claire's voice said. She had just arrived with her sons and was watching them."Playing soccer. I lost" Katherine said ruefully. Tim bounded to his feet and held her hand as she pulled herself up."You know they they have a game tonight right? And that you are playing the wrong sport?" Claire asked."Yeah" Katherine said. "It was just for fun. I just got home. You are early""Yeah I am" Claire agreed, but I thought we could hang out a bit before we left. If you don't mind. Sometimes I just need some space from the house, you know "Katherine knew. She understood. So she smiled and nodded in agreement. She needed that sometimes too."But...." Claire continued, "Since you both are busy with your game, I will just sit around and watch... Maybe until half time""Very funny" Katherine remarked as she trudged towards the front door.

"It's fine" Jensen said. "I told him I would come see him at his games and I realized that whatever happened or whatever is happening between us shouldn't stop me from keeping my word"Katherine nodded. "How are you? I mean how have you been?" she asked. She knew he had been hurt the last time they had talked, and she didn't want him to be. She cared about him."I'm fine" Jensen replied. "Been working a lot lately, traveling, tryna clear my head... Stuff like that"Katherine nodded. She understood. Hurting him had never been her intention and right now as she looked at him, all she wanted to do was pull him into her arms. But she wasn't sure that was a good idea and considering how angry he was when he left her house that day, she was sure he would probably reject any show of affection from her. He would probably mistake it for pity. So she looked away.Jensen watched her. Watched the hurt in her eyes disappear behi

Three weeks later....Jensen Packard draped his left wrist over the steering wheel and patted his lap with his right nervously as he drove to Crimson Bay. At this time of the night there was little traffic. It was mindless driving, which was very good, because Jensen's mind wasn't on driving.He missed Katherine.He had traveled for a business meeting a week ago but he had cut the trip two days short. Unnecessarily he had driven for six hours to get home tonight when tomorrow by noon would have done just as well.There is absolutely no reason he was coming home so early, except for the fact that there was someone he was eager to see. Which was a bit stupid considering the fact that she probably didn't feel the same way.The fact that he still loved her and thought so much about her scared the hell out of him... Scared him so badly that he almost talked himself into turning his car around and going b

"It's kinda late" Jensen replied. "Just after twelve""Oh, God" she said. She picked up the telephone off the floor and put it back on the desk. Then she searched her bag and withdrew her phone. While she called her mom to apologize for not coming back and checking on Tim, Jensen stood at the edge of her desk, glaring at her."I'm glad you arrived when you did. I wasn't planning on staying here for so long" she said after the ended the call and put the phone on the desk. "I was working... Was planning on delivering some cupcakes to a customer very early tomorrow morning... Or should I say this morning then.... I must have slept off when I decided to look at some paper work""What the hell were you thinking of to stay out here by yourself in the dark?" he asked angrily. "You are lucky it was me who came through that door""The door was locked, Jensen" Katherine said."As though that would stop anybod
