| I got my first call from Taylor the night after he�d arrived in Chicago. �I just feel so bad for missing your recital. How did that go?� he asked. �It was okay. Madame said I looked a bit distracted, but it was fine.� �How about those leotards?� he asked. I could completely picture the expression on his face. �Jordan Taylor, I do declare�� I said in a mock Southern accent. He laughed on the other end. �No interesting ones? That�s completely disappointing.� �Well�� I said, my voice teasing. �There was this red one�� �Red?� he piped up. �You look so hot in red�you�re definitely going to have to model it for me when I get back home.� �When are you getting home?� I asked him. �We need to talk about that�� he said. �What�s wrong? Things not working out for you guys over there?� I asked. �No, it�s just that�Well, we need to get some film for the new video, and Train actually cancelled an appearance here, so we�re gonna get to use the House of Blues,� he said. �That�s awesome!� I told him. �Not so much�� �Why not? Taylor that place will look awesome!� �I know�that�s why it�s too good an offer to say no to,� he continued. �So why refuse?� I asked, completely confused. �Well we won�t�but it�s next Friday,� he said slowly. �Next Friday�like a week and a half from today,� I said, trying to do the math in my head. �Yeah. So I�m not gonna be home for a while�I�m so sorry Nat,� he apologized. �No, I understand�seriously�� I said. �Nat, I can cancel it if you want me to. Just say the word,� Taylor told me. �Taylor it�s your job. You know what you have to do,� I reasoned with him. If he was going to cancel out on Friday�s events, it was going to have to be his own call. �I didn�t expect to be gone so long. I�ll make it up to you when I get home, okay?� �Yep,� I said, playing with his scarf. �I miss you,� he said. �Miss you too.� �OK. I�m gonna run, but I�ll see you next Saturday, okay?� �Yep, see you then,� I said as I pushed the off button. I�d see him next Saturday�three days after our one-year anniversary. |
