~My P.O.V.~
We took longer in the store than usual then I went to the gas station to fil my car. We got home about a half an hour later. Around 7:00pm. I figured that would've given Beth enough time to talk to Isaac.
"Hey! We're home!" I said semi-loud as we walked in.
"Hey." Mom said from the living room.
"You guys better get out there and start your fire before you don't have any light left." Dad said. When dad said we should 'light our fire' Taylor and I looked at each other and laughed. Oh if Dad only knew.
"Hey, hon, why don't you and Zac go out with Care and start the fire while I go and get Beth." I said as I slipped out of his arm and up the stairs.
"Come in!" I heard Beth yell as I knocked on her door.
"Hey, are you ready?" I asked as I walked in.
"Yeah I was just grabbing my sweatshirt." She said. "Hey Amy?"
"Yeah?" I asked checking my hair in her mirror.
"I talked to him." I turned around. "It was kinda strange."
"Did you tell him everything?"
"Yeah I did. And for once someone understood, and loved me and held me close. It felt so good Amy, I love him so much."
"I know" I said as I hugged her.
"AMY!! BETH!! Come on!!" Zac yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"Looks like they're tired of waiting for us. Shall we?" I asked.
"We shall." Beth laughed as she hooked her arm through mine and we headed outside. The fire was already roaring when we got there.
"Nice job guys." I said as I walked over to Taylor and hugged him.
"Thanks." Zac said. "It was all me. All Tay could do was look at the stars and talk about how wonderful last night was. Amy, thanks a lot."
"Huh?"
"Tay's not the same anymore. He's so serious and well just not the same. You just had to sleep with him didn't you?" I almost died. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
"I'm sorry." I said quietly. At that Zac cracked up in a fit of giggles.
"Geez Amy, no need to take me so seriously. I was kiddding! I don't care if you guys are having sex. He helped plenty with the fire." Zac laughed again. And this time the rest of us joined in.
"Well good cuz we'd do it anyway." Taylor laughed and kissed me.
"Which brings me to a question." I said. Taylor kinda gave me a "You aren't actually going to tell them" look. But I continued. "We want to spend the night together again. And we were wondering if we could have your room." I said to Ike and Zac.
"How did I know this was going to happen?" Isaac asked kinda laughing.
"Sorry" I said.
"No, it's no problem. I don't mind sleeping in your room." Zac started.
"And I'll sleep in Beth's." Ike finished. I smiled brightly. I loved how everyone was so understanding.
"Y'know maybe we should all just talk to mom and dad and change rooms so we don't have to switch every night." Care said.
"That'd be a great idea but I HIGHLY doubt they'd go for it." Beth said.
"Why don't we give it like a month until we ask. Besides I think you two should tell them you're having sex first." Isaac said to Tay and me.
"Yeah we will." I said. We continued to talk a little longer until the fire started to die. "We should go in, eh?" I said as I got up out of Tay's lap and took his hand.
"We're going to stay back a little bit." Zac said. Beth and Ike already went in to watch a movie.
"Ok, just don't forget to put out the fire completely." Taylor said as we walked towards the house.
~Care's P.O.V.~
I moved closer to Zac and kissed him. "I love you Zac." I said. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed me softly on my cheek as he whispered,
"I love you too." I was contemplating on whether or not to talk to him about me wanting to sleep with him.
"So, what do you think about Amy and Taylor's new found hobby?" Zac asked.
I laughed softly. "Whatever floats your boat." I said. "Hey, Zac, what do you think about having sex?" He looked up at me with a confused look.
"You mean what do I think about them having sex?" He asked.
"Well...um...." ~Oh God why did I even bring this up?~ I asked myself. I felt so dumb.
"You mean with us don't you?" He asked.
"Yeah, I've kinda been thinking about it lately." I said quietly.
"Me too." Zac said equally quiet.
"Really?" I asked turning towards him.
"Yeah, I've kind been wondering if we're ready."
"I know. I've been thinking about that too. I mean I really love you and I really want to but I don't want us to do something we'll regret."
"Yeah. But you know what? Let's not talk about it anymore. Ok? I just want to stay here and hold you." Zac said hugging me tight. "I love you."
"I love you too."
