It's Official (32)
"Tell him I'll be down in a second, grandpa," she replied.
Angel walked over to her mirror and looked herself over again. She was wondering if maybe she was a tad bit over-dressed. She was wearing a short white skirt and a black tank top. Over the tank top, she had on a sheer white blouse. Her hair was pulled back into a twist, and she had on lip gloss and white eyeliner. This time, she didn't bother with nylons because she knew they'd run. Besides, they were incredibly uncomfortable for her. Instead, she smoothed lotion over her legs. She had clogs on, so she would be almost as tall as Taylor.
When she was sure she looked okay, she headed downstairs. Taylor was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. He looked absolutely amazing! His hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail. He was wearing khaki pants and a white polo shirt. He had on a light jacket, and he wasn't wearing his usual worn-out Airwalks, but new black shoes.
When she stepped down off of the stairs, he pulled her into a hug. "You look beautiful," he whispered in her ear.
"You look pretty hot, too," she whispered back.
"Grandma? Grandpa?" she called, "I'm gonna leave now!"
Her grandparents came into the foyer to say goodbye.
"Have a nice time," said her grandmother.
"When do you think you'll be back?" her grandfather asked.
Angel looked at Taylor for an answer. "We're gonna just go eat, and then we'll probably go back to my house and watch a video or something," he said.
"Okay, have fun," said Angel's grandfather.
"I'm sure we will," Angel called to him as they were walking down the path toward the car. Angel was surprised to discover that Taylor had brought the limo to pick her up.
"Where exactly are we going, baby?" Angel asked Taylor.
"You'll just have to wait and see. Get comfortable though, cuz it's going to take a while to get there."
Angel moved closer to Taylor and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips. When Taylor started to pull away, Angel only deepened the kiss. When they finally parted, Angel put her arms around Taylor's shoulders and began massaging the back of his neck.
"Do you realize that this is our first date?" Angel asked quietly.
"Yeah. This means that we're officially going out, right?"
"You bet," she said. Angel licked Taylor's lips before parting them with her tongue. Taylor allowed her tongue to slip inside his mouth, and they engaged in a long passionate kiss.
"Ready or not, here I come!" shouted Jessica Hanson.
Avery peered out from where she was hiding in the treehouse. Taylor had told them not to go up there, so she was certain that Jessica wouldn't come up for a while. Avery moved over to the bed that was set up in the corner of the room. It looked so comfortable... She just had to try it out. She pulled back the sheets and climbed in. What she neglected to do was to take off her shoes. Soon the covers were all muddy.
She heard footsteps climbing up the ladder. She sqeezed herself between the wall and the TV and prayed that Jessie wouldn't see her.
"Avery!" Jessica shouted, startling her.
Before she could move to stop it, the television fell over on its side.
"Avery, Taylor is going to be mad at you," said Mackenzie who had decided to join them in the treehouse.
"I didn't mean to," she said, watching Mackie make his way over to the CD player.
"Hey, why are there CDs out here?" he asked.
"I don't know. We shouldn't mess them up though. Taylor's already going to be mad," Jessica warned.
"But he has the Titanic soundtrack out here. I want to listen to it, too," Avery insisted.
"Hmm... I don't see why not," Jessica reasoned, "but just once."
Avery put on the Titanic CD, and what was supposed to be "just once" turned into quite a few "just once"'s for quite a few of Taylor's favorite CD's.
