Black and Grey

Chapter Thirty Four: Chasing Clouds with an Angel

Still at Tamera Apartment: 11:00AM

Ted sat with his parents in Tamera's living room as he listened to the shower run from the back. He was not where he wanted to be. He took a deep breath and returned his focus to parents. "So what's up? What did you want to talk to me about?"

"There was nothing really that we really wanted to discuss. We were both just so worried about you? You were really upset yesterday and your dad said you were still a little upset when he dropped you off. Then we tried to call you and you didn't answer … I'm kind of surprise to find you here," Ana confessed.

"Why? Tamera is my best friend I practically live over here." Teddy looked at the concerned look on his mother's face. "What's wrong mom?"

"Nothing Teddy," she said even though she couldn't put her finger on it, something worried her about Ted and Tam getting too close. She was hoping that Christian was right and it was just that she was feeling extra sensitive about losing her first born sort of speak.

"I can tell something's wrong … what is it?"

"You're mother was wondering if you and Tamera wanted to fly in Charlie Tango with us?" Ana frowned at Christian. She didn't understand why he said it was her idea or when he came up with the idea to take them all on a plan ride. She knew he had his reasons so she didn't complain.

"Uh … I don't know if Tam had plans," Ted said hesitantly. Teddy knew that he'd personally been excited about spending the day with Tam, but there was nothing better than soaring above the clouds. He was sure that Tamera would love so he had to ask her. He got up and went to ask her when his mother stopped him.

"Teddy, where are you going?" Ana asked.

"To ask Tamera if she wants to go," he answered and gave his mother a confused look. She was really acting weird.

"Isn't she still in the shower?" Ana's voice hitched up a notch. Ted hadn't even thought about that he was just going to peak his head in and ask her.

"I don't know probably." Teddy shrugged and continued down the hall anyway. He strode to the bathroom door and knocked a little before opening the door and peaking inside. Tamera was out of the shower and drying off. She jumped slightly alarmed at Teddy's presence but then issued him a little smile.

"Your parent's gone?" He slid into the bathroom with her and drank in the sight of her body.

"No, they wanted to know if you wanted to go up in Charlie Tango. I am supposed to be in here asking you," he said as he moved Tam's hands and undid her towel.

"Teddy stop!" She snatched her towel closed. "You're parents are right outside!" He hunched his shoulders in a so what sort of fashion.

"Did you wanna go?" Tam gave it some real thought. Teddy always talked about how he loved flying. Plus, this would be a way to bond more with his parents.

"Okay," she nodded. "I just need to finish up here and I'll be right out."

"Can I help?" Teddy said scooping her up in his arms.

"No, all you'll do is slow me down … but later we will have some alone time I promise." She wrapped her arms around Ted's neck and gave him a peck on the lips.

"You like doing that don't you?" She nodded and grinned at him playfully.

"Now get lost Grey! I need to finish drying off."

"Have you ever been in a helicopter before Tamera?" Christian asked as they all got settled in Charlie Tango.

"No, I've been on a private jet a time or two, but nothing like this. I bet you feel closer to the sky in this." Tamera took a nervous breath she was a little afraid of heights but she didn't want to ruin this for Teddy so she kept it too herself.
