Chapter 14

Hunter heard the dial tone as Leeann hung up, how was she calling him? For that matter why now? They had always been best friends and Blake had been hitting on her forever.

He would find out tonight one way or another.

Tori sat next to Hunter as they watched Independence Day, but she could tell something was bothering Hunter. He had barely said two words all evening and she could see he wasn't into the movie.

"You don't like the movie Hunter?"

He still wasn't paying attention and finally Tori had to tap him on the shoulder. Finally he snapped out of it, "what?"

"Welcome back Hunter."

"Was I somewhere else?"

Tori tried to smile but couldn't, "How about in another star system."

"I'm sorry Tori."

"Do you want to talk?" She asked.

Hunter took her hand, "Tori I'm sorry I got distracted, I just have a few things on my mind right now. It's nothing you did if that's what you're thinking."

Tori looked into his eyes, "You're happy with me?" The tentativeness in her voice nearly ripped out his heart. He had to tell her.

"I got a call from an old friend of mine today." He began.

"Go on." She replied.

"Her name is Leeann Amano; she's the daughter of our Sensei."

"She wasn't captured with the rest of you?" Tori asked.

"No she was away from the academy at the time, for some reason she's making herself known and wants to meet with me."

"Hunter you can't go it could be a trap."

Hunter kissed Tori's palm gently, "I'll be careful."

"I should go with you Hunter."

"Tori I need to go alone."

Tori didn't look to happy about it, "Call me as soon as it's over."

Hunter kissed her on the lips, "You have my word."

"I'm glad you told me Hunter."

Hunter looked into her eyes, his conveyed everything he felt. "I don't want to keep secrets from you Tori; I don't want to hurt you again."

Tori smiled, "It goes both ways, I guess I had it my head you weren't happy. I mean all those girls that flirt with you."

"I don't do it back Tori, I want only you."

Tori slid into his lap and kissed him passionately. Hunter eagerly returned it the pulled away.

"What's wrong?"

"Tori we can't do something we'll regret."

"Don't you want to be close to me?" She asked.

Hunter felt his heart pound, "We never talked about being intimate together."

Tori looked at him not flinching, "Maybe we should start."

"I'm happy the way we are, I don't want you to wind up hating me Tori."

Tori decided to let it go for the moment; he probably thought she was doing this because of her paranoia at his upcoming meeting. Or that she was jealous. Just then the clock began to chime. It was now eleven thirty p.m.

Hunter stood up, "I have to get going if I'm going to be there before her."

"Be careful." Tori said.

He kissed her, "I will."

Tori waited until he was out of sight, before she locked the doors. She intended to follow and see what Leeann Amano was really up to.
