"Oh nothing. Come on, I'll show you my room." I grab his hand and we begin walking up the stairs. "My mom had to run out, she'll be back in a minute."
"Okay." We walk into my room and he looks around. "I like it." He smiles. We sit silently on my bed for a few minutes. "I know something is on your mind." He turns toward me, he's baby blue eyes staring into mine. "You know you can tell me anything right?" I nod. "Well then," he takes my hand, "go ahead."
I sigh. I feel so dumb. "Alright... my mom just asked me your last name and I told her and.. gosh I don't even know how to say this..." I pause to think, and keep talking. "I told her and she laughed, she thought I was joking. She thinks, well, are you in a... oh..." I grown.
"A band?" He asks and laughs. I turn red, as usual, and slowly nod. "Yeah, Hanson. Me and a couple of my brothers. I wasn't sure if you knew. And if you didn't I just wanted you to get to know me for a while, so you wouldn't judge me by that."
I smiled at him. "I wouldn't do that." I already have my opinion about you." I stated and grinned.
"And what is that?" I just kepting grinning and didn't say a word. And then, taking me by surpise, he tackled me and laughed. "Tell me!" He shouted tickling me. We rolled across the bed and I burst into giggles.
"Okay!" I barely got out "I.. can't take it!" I laughed. He stopped, laying beside me. We looked at each other and I answered in a whisper, "I think you're the sweetest guy I have ever met." I looked down. "And you're cute too."
He put his fingers under my chin and lifted my face up to him. We began to kiss. "Well I think you... are the... sexiest... nicest... most caring girl... in the whole world." He said inbetween kisses. We lay quietly, embraced in each other's arms.
A while later I hear Mamma coming in downstairs, and Timmy running up the stairs. "Hailey!" He yells running into my room. He stops, looks at Taylor and walks over to him. I have no idea where he gets his openness. I have always been so shy. Reaching out his hand, he smiles. "Hello, I'm Timothy, but you can call me Timmy."
Taylor laughs and shakes his hand. "I'm Taylor."
"Mamma just got home and she wants to meet you." He started grinning and looked at me. "Taylor are you her boyfriend?"
"Timmy stop!" I shout, getting nervous.
"Cause I asked her," He started again and I got up chasing him out of my room and down the stairs. He ran back up with me close behind, ran into my room and locked me out. Shouting, I pounded on my door threatening to tell Mamma. I could hear Taylor laughing in my room, and then Timmy began to talk. "I asked her if you were her boyfriend and she didn't know so I told her to ask you and she said 'it's not that easy,' whatever that means, so I said I'd ask you for her. Well..."
I stop hitting the door to listen to Taylor's answer. "Uh..." My stomach hurts, from nervousness I guess. What if he says no, that we're just friends? But we're not. Are we? "Well Timmy, I'm not sure. How about I figure that out tonight, and you ask me again before I leave?"
"Okie dokie." I hear him reply.
"Alright then. You go tell your mom we'll be right down, okay?" Timmy unlocks my door and runs past me down the stairs. I walk over to Taylor. Wrapping his arms around me, he smiles. "Hailey, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes." I say, as our lips press together and I feel his tongue slide into my mouth. Rubbing my fingers through his hair I wish we could stay this way forever.
But, of course, Timmy pokes his head in and we jump apart. "Come on." He says and we follow him down the stairs.
I introduce him to Mamma. "Nice to meet you Ms. Johnson, I'm Taylor Hanson." The perfect gentleman, I think and smile.
"Taylor Hanson, as in, Hanson?" She asks him.
"Yep that's me." He smiles.
Setting the table, she replies, "Well it's very nice to meet you."
When he's not looking Mamma gives me a thumbs-up and winks. We have dinner and talk a little. Luckily Timmy doesn't say anything else too humiliating. And Mamma asks a few questions about the band. Afterwards, he stays a little longer and we watch some tv and talk a while.
"I better go, it's getting kind of late." He says. My mom offers him a ride home but he refuses. I walk him to the door and he hugs me tightly. "I had a great time tonight, thanks for inviting."
"Sure. I did too." I say, wishing I could stay with him all night.
"Will I get to see you tomorrow?" He asks eagerly.
I frown. "I have to work. But maybe afterwards?"
"Definantly." He hugs me again. And starts to walk away, "Bye Babe."
I hold back my squel of excitement and whisper 'bye' waving. Shutting the door and quickly run to my room and jump on the bed. I've never been so happy. 'Bye babe.' I repeat to myself.
Timmy runs in my room shouting. "Hailey you have to make Taylor come back I forgot to ask him something."
"What?" I ask.
"Is he your boyfriend?" He asks smiling.
I laugh and hug him jumping around my room. "Yes Timmy, he is."
