"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy," Mackenzie was whining when you and Taylor walked into the kitchen. Diana was trying her hardest not to yell at him. "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" You walked over to Mackenzie and carefully turned him around and said, "Hey Mackie, your Mom’s busy right now, can I help ya?" He nodded his head and Diana gave Walker a relieved smile and said, "What an angel." You smiled and followed Mackenzie into the room that he shared with Zac. He said, "I need you to open the bwinds pwease." You smiled got up and pulled the cord. Mackie smiled, hugged you around your knees and said, "Thank you Kristin." You smiled at him and look over at the doorway and Taylor is leaning against the door frame, smiling. "What?" you ask. "I found another reason why you are a beautiful person." You put your arms around him and say, "Oh? Go on." "You are good with kids," he answers. He leans over and kisses you. The next thing you know you are being hit over the head with a rolled up newspaper. You came apart, startled and looked at Walker who was laughing and said, "Take it in the bedroom." "OK!" Taylor exclaimed, pushing you onto his bed and shutting the door. He opened it two seconds later to reveal Walker who was still laughing.
Taylor pulled you to your feet and you walked out into the living room, you arms around each other’s waist. The phone rings and Jessica answers it. "Hello?…Yeah hold on….Kris! It’s your mom!" You take the phone from her and say, "Yeah?" "Hi hon, dinner is ready, you gotta come home." "Oh man!" "Sorry dude." "OK bye," you say and hang up the phone. "I gotta go," you say to everyone. "Can I walk you?" asks Taylor. "You’re so sweet, of course you can walk me," you say. Ike walks by making kissing noises. You smack him in the arm.
You walk out the front door, Tay stands behind you and puts his hands on your waist. He walks awkwardly behind you. After a while he took your hand and started messing with it. He played with it for a while. You got to the corner of Courtside where you usually turned and decided to keep going straight and turn on the next street. You walked up Hollyvale and past your friend Daundra’s house.
Daundra was out front and she ran over to you and gave you a hug. "Daundra, this is Taylor Hanson, my boyfriend." "Hi," she says. "Hi," he says. "We better be going, I’m supposed to be getting home for dinner." "OK bye," she says. You wave to her and continued up the street. You came up to your house and Taylor looks at you with sad eyes. "I don’t want to leave you." "I don’t want you to leave." Just as he was leaning in to kiss you, your mom walks out. "Hi Tay," she says. "Hi Mary," he says. "Wanna eat over?" His eyes light up, "Sure!" You lead him into the kitchen, he calls his mom and tells her he’s eating over. "Go ahead, put together your own cheeseburgers," your mom tells you after Taylor hangs up the phone.
You get your burgers and soda and go into your room. You lock your door and Tay says, "You are allowed to lock your door when you have a guy in your room, let alone your boyfriend?" "Yeah, my mom’s cool with things like that." "Well then," he says, pulling you into his lap. He puts his plate on your legs and you eat. He picks up a fry, pulls it back and fires, making ketchup fly onto your upper lip. "Hey!" you say. He kisses the ketchup off. You load a fry with ketchup and look at Taylor. "No," he says. "Yes," you say. You put the ketchup all over his lips. You kiss him and say, "Now we match." You each lick your lips.
You finish your dinner and turn on your radio. The song, "Freshman" came on by The Verve Pipe. You get mad. Kurt made out with your friend to this song right in front of you. That was when you still liked him. He, of course was oblivious to your feelings. The whole time, you sat there wishing you had someone who would hold you and kiss you like that. You still did and wished Taylor would get over his shyness. He noticed that your mind had wondered off. He waved his hand in front of your face. "Sorry," you say. "Anything wrong?" "Nope, just thinking." "Bout what?" "This," you say, leaning in close to him. You put your forehead against his and look him in the eyes. You kiss him and let him linger there. He looked lovingly into your eyes. Go for it, the voice in your head tells you. You kiss him again and let your tongue carefully slide into his mouth. He pulls away, and sees your hurt look. He kisses you again, then you lay against him.
Taylor was kissing you when he felt your tongue slip into his mouth. He got worried you were going too fast and pulled away. He noticed that you looked hurt. He starts thinking, I hope she’s not mad at me. I couldn’t bear to loose her. Maybe I should have let her do it. No, Tay, keep your morals, you always kept from doing things that made you feel uncomfortable.
You look at your clock. It’s 6:30. It’s still light out, so if he left now, he’d make it home before it got dark. You tell him he should go before it gets dark. As you are walking out the front door, you say, "Tay’s leaving, we are going out front." "Bye Taylor," your mom calls. "Bye Mary," he says. You grab his hand and pull him out the front door.
On the way out the front door, Taylor starts thinking, It’s only a kiss. She doesn’t seem mad. She wouldn’t be, she’s too nice for that. What the hell, just do it. You stop in front of the house and he takes your hands and kisses them, then still holding them, he kisses you. Go for it! He thinks. He puts his hands on your waist and he deepens the kiss, letting his tongue slip into your mouth. You let your tongue play with his.
