Taylor and Katrina K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Dinner with the Hanson's, how can you describe it? It's crazy, everyone is chowing on the food and conversations are going on all around the table. Katrina felt slightly uncomfortable. Taylor was talking to Ike across the table, Mrs.Hanson was telling Avie to stop looking at her sister, and Mr.Hanson was telling Zac to clean out the garage tomorrow afternoon. This only left Mac and Katrina just sitting there. Kat was eating her food and looking down at her plate and Mac was sitting there starring at her.

"Hello girl" Mac said to her as she looked up.

"Hi Mac"she said smiling

"Heeey how did you know my name girl?" he questioned

"I..umm.." she knew because she was a Hanson fan, practically all Hanson fans knew their family's names..but did Taylor know she knew? Did Taylor know she loved his band and was a huge fan? She wasn't sure if he did or if that would make a difference. She wasn't going to lie though. She liked them.

"I heard about you in an interview your brother did on TV" she said.

"Ohhh" he giggled. "Do you like Taylor???"

"Ummm..well yes" she blushed even though this was only a 5 year old. She figured since everyone was talking to someone that nobody could hear her anyway. Well Taylor was listening intently as she spoke to his little brother.

"Ooooo do you want to kiss him???" he was grinning and playing with his mashed potatoes.

"I'm not telling you that Mac! Nice try buddy!" she said laughing herself.

"You do you do!! TAYLOR AND KATRINA SITTING IN THE TREE KISS-ING KISS-ING KISS-ING!" he yelled and banged his silverware on the table to get everyones attention.

"Mack you didn't sing that right!!! its TAYLOR AND KATRINA SITING IN THE TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Avie and Jessica sang the song in unison as loud as they could. Their parents tried to quiet them because they could tell this was getting out of hand.

"You guys are so stupid nobody says that anymore" Zac said looking at his family with a bored expression.

"Thank you Zac!" Kat and Tay said at the same time

"Right..they sing it like this..." he jumped up so he was standing on his seat and yelled "TAYLOR AND KATRINA LAYING BY THE TREE F-U-C---"

"ZACHARY!!!" Mr.Hanson grabbed his son and covered his mouth before another letter could even be uttered.Taylor could have killed his family. He didn't even like her that way! She was his friend!

"Zac go to your room!" Mrs.Hanson told him. Zac trudged upstairs mumbling obscenities the whole way.

"Well. I'd say dinner is pretty much over, I'm going to take Kat home" Taylor said getting up and motioning for her to follow.

"Thanks for dinner Mrs.Hanson it was delicious" she smiled at her slightly before turning and leaving the kitchen with Taylor. Taylor ran upstairs really quick to get her her bag and then they were out the door.

The car ride to her house was silent except for her telling him how to get to her house. They arrived at her house and they jsut sat there for a minute.

"I'm sorry about what happened" he said finally

"No its ok, your family is really nice" she was looking down at her hands.

"Thanks..I can't believe Zac did that though, like that would EVER happen" he chuckled slightly. She felt a little hurt by that comment, why wouldn't it happen? Not that she wanted to jump into bed with him, well not that she didn't want to either...

"Why wouldn't that happen?" she asked looking at him.

Taylor was caught offguard.

"Umm..well caz..you.." his stuttering was cut off.

"Because I'm not perfect" she stated hurt.

No I-" yet again he was interrupted.

"I understand Taylor. Beautiful people date beautiful people. A beautiful person like you wouldn't date a girl who looks like me.This was all just a joke on me." she opened her door and started to get out, but Taylor grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"It's not a joke. I want to be your friend Kat, I don't care what you look like. And by the way, you are beautiful. Maybe you should stop listening to what other people say about you and look at yourself. You have beautiful full lips, bright green eyes that anyone could get lost in and long silky hair. Who cares if your not as skinny as Kate Moss, you are beautiful in your own way." he said it all sincerely. She just stared into his eyes as he spoke taking it all in. He said she was beautiful, and he wasn't laughing about it. He did like her. Then she was snapped out of her trance.. Taylor's face was closer then before. Suddenly their lips touched in a sweet kiss. It could be taken as a friendly peck that just lingered a bit longer than it should have but Katrina was in heaven. That was her first kiss, at 16 years old she had never had a kiss before. Yeah, it was rare but it just never happened. Now that it had she was wanting more. She leaned in and kissed him back pressing their lips together firmly. Then she backed away and sat back in her seat, Taylor doing the same. Then at the same time they looked at eachother with smiles playing on their lips.

"I'll see you tomorrow ok Katrina?" he said

"Ok Taylor" she was grinning from ear to ear by now as she exited the car and walked up to her house.
