Ohne Dich (Sequel to Stirb Nicht Vor Mir)

Chapter 91

April 20, 2005

"No, I'm going to drive with Corey to the airport," I told Taylor over the phone. 

"Why?"

"He's leaving to go on tour and he spent the night."

"He spent the night?!"

"Yes. Nothing sexual happened, though."

"That's what they all say."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

"Tell him I say 'hi'."

"Alright."

"Wait, Adette!"

"Yeah?"

"Have you talked to Till at all?"

"Not since Ashton's birthday. He just called and talked to him."

"That's not good, Adette. You guys have a strong bond with each other."

"I think he just needs time away. He's a grown man, Taylor."

"I understand."

"Don't worry about me-I'll be fine."

"I'm not worried."

"Great," I chuckled and turned around to find Corey emerge from the bathroom. "Taylor, how about I call you back later?"

"Sounds like a plan."

"Bye," I hung up and walked over to Corey. "Got everything?"

"Yeah," He kissed me. 

"I don't want you to go."

"I know. I'll call, though."

"When will you be back?"

"Later this month. But, then I have to leave again."

I started walking. "And then you'll be back?"

"I'll be back, Adette."

We got into the car and he drove to the airport. I put his new CD in and turned on 'Vermilion Pt.2'.

"You really like this song, huh?" Corey asked me. 

"I mean, who wouldn't? I'd like it better if you sung with me, though."

"No."

"Why?"

"Fine."

I smirked and we both started singing. My favorite part was when we harmonized. His voice could be so rough and aggressive, but then there was a really clean tone. 

When we arrived, I grabbed one of his bags and we walked inside. 

I hugged him. "I'll see you later?"

"Of course," He gave me a peck on the lips. "Bye."

"Bye."

I watched him walk away. Things were different with him than with Ville. With Ville, we embraced each other at the airport, but Corey just left. 

I shrugged it off and walked back to my car. I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned around to find Corey standing there. 

"What are you-"

He interrupted me with a kiss. I threw my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my waist. 

"Bye, Adette," He broke the kiss and walked away.
