I hopped up onto the couch, and laid down. Taylor stood over me, "You wanna make out,don't you?" He asked. "I certainly do! Now, come 'ere!" I pulled him down on top of me. We made out for a while. Never long enough with Taylor. Mid-kiss, The lights come on. "Both of you, to your room!" an angry Hanson parent screamed at us. " I'll deal with you in a few minutes!" "Whoops." I said. Mrs Hanson shot me a look. Taylor grabbed my hand and ushered me into his room. "Shit." He stated, "We're dead." He took a long, labored breathe, "They're going ot have our heads as trophies." "Why? What happened?" Isaac asked. "Oh- By-the-way, IIIKE (I hate that nickname)- your parents are home alittle early." I snapped. "So- what's the matter?" He asked. "They-uhh-caught-us-uhhh-on the couch-uhh making out." I stammered. "Oh, yup, you're dead. In hot water- gone-WIPEDOUT." He smiled. "Ok Ike, we get the point." Taylor snapped. "I warned ya, Tay, I warned ya." Isaac snapped off his light an turned over. "Mom is so religious about things like this, Love, she's so strict about it." Taylor said, nervously. "We can get out of this." I said. "How?! Why?" He asked. "I have a plan." ** Rooms were cleaned, apology notes were ready to be on pillows, and speech was prepared for 'the talk'. We certainly SEEMED prepared. ** "CATRINA!!! TAYLOR!!! Could you come here please?" Mrs Hanson summoned us from the living room. "Here we go, into the snake pit." Taylor said, taking my hand, and walking to the couch, both of us sitting down. "Now-" Mrs Hanson put her hand on our adjoined hands " I know you think it's 'normal' for couples- like yourselves- to 'love' each other, but your father and I feel you are still too young for much of any physical expression." "That's right." Walker backed her up. "Well Mrs. Hanson, "I began, "I'm speaking out of respect for you, I don't want you to take this is a disrespect, but, I think now is the PERFECT time to tell you, exactly how serious Taylor and I actually are about one another. Taylor and I love each other. Making Out is just one of the ways we show it. It's a safe form of physical expression, true- it can lead t other things, but for right now, Taylor and I are happy right where we are. There's not much either of you can do to stop it." I sounded os much older and over prepared than I actually was. It was scary. "You may go." She released us. "Love!" Taylor kissed me, " That was awesome!" I blew on the tip of my finger, "All in a days work."
