Taylor found himself once again wandering around the hallways.
“What to do…what to do…” he pondered loudly. Then he remembered Sabrina. Thinking about her made his stomach jump. He decided to see her, after all, she was all he could think about now while Scarlet and her aura of mystery were temporarily pushed back. He took the elevator to the top floor-the manager’s apartment. Taylor waited until the elevator doors opened before exiting. He walked to the door that read ‘Manager’s Apartment’. He took a deep breath in and knocked.
“I’m coming!” Sabrina shouted, only to be muffled by the door that separated Taylor from her. She opened the door and smiled at the site of Taylor.
“Oh, hi, Taylor. I wasn’t expecting you here so soon,” Sabrina said, “Come in,” She let Taylor inside the large penthouse apartment.
“Nice place,” Taylor said looking all over. It didn’t even look like a hotel or an apartment, it looked much like the inside of a house.
“Thanks. I guess some privileges come with having your father own this place,” Sabrina laughed.
“Awesome,”
“You want a drink?” Sabrina asked as she wandered into the kitchen.
“Dr. Pepper?” Taylor asked.
”One Dr. Pepper coming up Mr. Hanson,” Sabrina giggled before grabbing 2 cans of Dr. Pepper from the fridge. She jogged back out to Taylor.
“Catch!” she shouted as she threw Taylor a can. He caught it in one hand with ease.
“Nice,” Sabrina commented as they sat down on the couch together.
“So, how long are you here in Cali?” Sabrina asked him as she popped the can open.
“I think about a month,” Taylor answered as he sipped his Dr. Pepper.
“Cool…what exactly are you doing here in Cali?”
“Scouting places to record, looking for producers and stuff, an interiew here and there, and a few photo shoots,”
“Must be exciting,” she replied in awe.
“Yeah, at times,” Taylor said as he looked her up and down. Sabrina did not notice this.
“So, have you lived here all your life?” he asked her.
“Nope. I was born in Orlando, Florida. I lived there until I was 5. We moved to Atlanta, Georgia. After about 6 years in Georgia, my father got a job offer here as the manager of this hotel. So we moved here, and we’ve been living here ever since,” Sabrina answered.
“Which makes you what? 14? 15? 16?” Taylor asked.
“16. I turned 16 on December 28th,” Sabrina replied.
“Happy belated birthday,” Taylor chuckled.
“Thanks,” she replied while smiling at him seductively, with a small hint of innocence.
