grumble and was then pulled to her feet and pulled along side T as they jogged back towards the
trucks and the crew running around getting their gear stowed away. Minutes later, they were
back on the road and headed for Texas. Gavin leaned against her door and watched the
lightening reflect off T's face.
"What would have happened out in the field if we weren't interrupted?" T glanced over to her
and then back to the road.
"That would have depended on you."
"Why me, I wasn't there alone."
"Listen Piglet, I suck at relationships, I have no social skills and all my lovers have left me after
they find out that my job comes first." She sighed and shook her head. "I don't want to hurt you
Gavin, you're only here for a little while and then you go back to your glamorous life and I'll be
out here chasing down the next storm."
Gavin watched T's jaw clench and her fingers tighten on the steering wheel; she shook her head
at her. "They were stupid and my life isn't so glamorous, I've laughed more in these couple days
than the last year. What I do for a living is something I would give up for the right person."
"I don't believe that, I& my research is my life& ,"
"Toto, what you do saves thousands of people, my job informs them but I can't save any of them
like you can. My time as an anchor is coming to a close; we don't survive too long in the news
business because new talent comes along all the time. No one can replace you."
Tears formed in T's eyes; no outsider had ever told her that what she did was important, crazy
yes but never anything else. "Let's change the subject, what kinds of music do you like? If you
say blue grass, I'm throwing you out the window." She pointed to a black CD case on the floor.
"Those are some of my CD's, B&B have the others."
Gavin looked through the CD's, picked one and slipped it into the CD player and hit the select
button until it stopped on one of her favorites. She leaned back in the seat, watched the wipers
slap across the windshield, and then turned her head when T started to sing Terri Clarks song 'To
tell you everything'. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at T's profile, not only was she a
beautiful woman but her voice was like an angels.
All this running nowhere fast
All these faces that I pass
All these souls that don't reach out
Leave me feeling so without
I think you got here just in time
I think it's meant to be
And I'm ready to do anything
I want to tell you everything
Every nightmare, every dream
Every fear I've ever had
All the good and all the bad
All the secrets that I've kept
My mistakes and my regrets
The relief that it would bring
Just to tell you everything
Just to be all you need
When you need somebody there
Just to let go and still know
You won't go anywhere
Just to find myself again
Tell you who I've always been
Just to feel my spirit rise
When I look into your eyes
And see what I've been dying for
Baby I want nothing more
Than these songs I'm gonna sing
When I tell you everything
Just to be all you need
When you need somebody there
Just to let go and still know
You won't go anywhere
All this loneliness that ruled
All the years that had me fooled
Now they seem to slip away
When you turn to me and say
I think you got here just in time
I think we're going to be just fine
And it would be enough for me
Just to tell you everything
Baby I'd do anything
I want to tell you everything
T looked over when small fingers gripped her hand, she saw tears falling down Gavin's cheeks,
and at that moment, she knew that she had fallen in love with her and would tell her everything
just like the song said. She brought Gavin's hand up to her lips and kissed her knuckles softly.
"I'll tell you every dream." Gavin looked to her with misty eyes and offered her a small smile.
"I'll be everything you need."

They drove through out the night taken turns driving until they came to Athens Texas. Gavin
pulled into the parking lot of a Best Western and parked close to the building. T opened her eyes
when the engine stopped and looked around her.
"What are we doing here?"
"That's easy; I want a hot shower, a nice big bed and room service."
"Piglet, we don't have money for this. We'll stay out here and you can get a room."
Gavin got out of her seat, went over to T and straddled her lap. "This one's on the station, I have
an expense account that I never use." She kissed T softly and brushed her bangs back from her
forehead. "Let me do this for everyone, we deserve to have a few luxuries every once in a while."
"I'll warn you, B&B are horrible in motels, they steal everything not nailed down."
"Good, I've always wanted towels and a new bathrobe." She got up and pulled T with her.
"Come on Toto, let's go get some rooms."
T stood back and watched Gavin charm the young man behind the counter; she felt anger build
when he started flirting with her. She was about to lay into him and wondered why, she had
never felt jealous before. Taking a deep breath, she felt a warm hand take hers and pull her closer
to Gavin's side. "I put the rooms under our name baby," She wrapped her arm around T's waist
and leaned into her. "Two with queen-sized and a twin for the kids, room service is good for
another two hours if we want to order." She gave the young man a raised eyebrow. "And that's
for what ever we want right?"
He looked from Gavin to an intimidating T and nodded. "Just sign here Mrs. Storm and I'll get
your room keys." Gavin flashed T a smile, signed her name on the paper and took the offered
keys. "Come on, I hear the shower calling our names." She handed keys to the others and pulled
T towards the elevator with Andy and Dustin following. She waved to B&B and snorted when
they pointed to the bar and lounge.
"Damn lushes, they'll be toast in ten minutes and passed out under a table." T looked to the
pouting Dustin and raised her eyebrow at her. "Someone must be in trouble."
Dustin flipped her off and stuck her tongue out. "Shud-up Toto, whipped little dog& " Andy
clamped a hand over her wife's mouth and shrugged her shoulders at her friends.
"She knows better than to drink with B&B, the last time she puked for hours and acted like she
was dying."
"I was dying, damn moonshine almost killed me."
The elevator stopped on the third floor, the door opened to a blue-carpeted hallway with white
doors. Gavin looked at the number on the key card and turned left out of the elevator. "Our
rooms should all be next to each other somewhere down this way." After checking the numbers,
she stopped outside of their room, looked to a nervous T and opened the door. "See ya guys in
the morning and you can order room service if you want."
"Ohh I think T is in for one Hell of a night." Andy whispered and pulled Dustin to the next door.
"I caught them making out in the field this morning."
"T was doing that?" Dustin wiggled her tongue and yelped when she was yanked into the room.
@@@@@@@@@
Gavin went over to the bed and fell backwards across it; she closed her eyes and felt T's eyes on
her. "Why are you staring at me?"
"I was wondering why you got us a room together and why you used my last name like we were
