Two days later, I snuck by the Hanson's kitchen. Where Zac, Mackenzie, Taylor, Avery and Mr. Hanson sat, eating bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast with strawberry and grape jam. I crept upstairs into Mr. and Mrs. Hanson's bedroom. Isaac scooted over on their bed, and I sat next to him. "What's this about?" I whispered. I felt alittle suspicious about this, I'm sneaking by my own boyfriend, and his family, to meet with his older brother and family. It's like time froze, and we are the selected ones that are about to be loaded with secret information. But then, why is Jessica and Zoe here? Well., Zoe's young, can bearly say more then "dadda" and "mamma", and Jessica on the other hand has quite a large mouth, secrets come and go with her. < p? "It's a surprise, for Zac." < p> "Zac Zac." Zoe bounced on Isaac's lap. I leaned down and kissed her cheek. Sweet kid. Mrs. Hanson stepped into the room, from the master bathroom. Her hands loaded with 7 big brown shopping bags. < p> "Do you need help?" I asked. < p> "No hunny, I'm fine." she whispered, placing the bags in front of us. Jessica waisted no time peeking into them. "Shoo, shoo." Mrs. Hanson scolded. < p> "Mom..you told me..-" < p> "Go down stairs and get Taylor. Not a word other wise, you hear?" < p> "But mo-" < p> "Jessica!" Jessica slumped her shoulders, mutter under her breath and ran downstairs, screaming Taylor's name. < p> *_*~-*_* < p> "What? Are you okay? Why are you screaming?" Taylor asked, jumping from the table and meeting Jessica on the stairs. < p> "Mommie wants to see you, upstairs!" Jessica screamed at the top of her lungs. Mr. Hanson flinched, knowing his wife made a mistake asking Jessica to join in on the secret. < p> "Jessica, come join us at the table sweetie." he said, watching Taylor cover his ears as he slipped by his sister. < p> "Mom?" Tay asked, not knowing where his mother was. < p> "In here, is Zac with you?" < p> "No, why?" he replied, stepping into his parents room. His eyes met mine instantly, and I smiled. So did he. He made sure he sat next to me, even thought half of his ass was off the bed. I noticed, grabbed his hand, and slid to the floor. We sat, indian style, waiting for his mother to speak. < p> "Okay. You need to keep a secret. Agreed? I can trust you three," she glanced at Zoe and smiled. < p> "Yes." Ike, Tay and I replied in unison. We all laughed too. < p> "Zac's birthday is in 2 days. His fourteeth birthday. It's going to be his first, well second year of being a real teenager. And," she glanced at the boys, "you all remember that for each of your 15th birthdays, you were each given a huge surprise party, correct?" We all nodded. I remembered each party perfectly. "Well, since your fame has gotten you quite well-known with some favorites of you kids, we're having a celebrity surprise birthday party for your brother." Before Taylor or Isaac could jump in with the fact that it wasn't fair, she spoke up quickly. "Don't worry. You'll each have something special this year too. Now, your father has already arranged, Fastball member's, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Jenny Macarthy, Rosie O'Donnel, Jay Leno, Howie Mandal, Sugar Ray member Mark MaGrath, Britney Spears is still a maybe, TLC, Christina Aguilera, I believe Jennifer Aniston is coming along with Brandy, *N Sync is a definite show, and I also heard some members of 5ive that English band decided to come." < p> "Oh Zac's gonna like Jenny." Isaac said, laughing. I smiled. < p> "Britney Spears is coming?" I asked, getting a strange feeling in my gut. Oh I hate that girl, slut shall I say. There is no way I am showing with her there.
"She's a maybe. You remember meeting her, right boys?" Mrs. Hanson said, as if it was a good thing.
"Yeah, I sure remember that." Taylor said. I looked at him.
"You met that skank?"
"Amanda!" Mrs. Hanson scolded.
"Oh c'mon, look at her. She is not an angel, anything but. She's not even 18 and she got a boob inplant, it's not like it helped much. She thinks she's the worlds greatest girl...oooh, I'm gonna set her straight." I said, just thinking of how I'm gonna get her. Justin Timberlake! Ohh, perfect!
"Amanda, I'm sorry if you feel so sorely to her, she is quite nice and agreed to come as long as she got a flight with Justin."
"Oh figures." I said, slumping against the bed, pulling my hand from Taylor's and crossing my arms infront of my chest. All three of them looked at me, Isaac changing the subject.
"It's going to be a costume party type of thing. Since it's going to be on October 30th. We'll have a family thing on the 22nd. Amanda, you are a part of this family, so..just to inform you." Mrs. Hanson said. I didn't look up at her. My face was hot, and I am not in the mood for family affairs, not knowing Britney Sluts was going to be at the party, running free hand.
"What's in the bags?" Taylor asked.
"Different costumes for the kids, a dozen or so caramel candy apple kits. Face paint, so on and so forth. Amanda, do you think you can keep these things at your house due to the fact we don't want Zac finding them."
"Sure I guess." I said. Isaac touched my shoulder, squeezing it. It felt like a warning. "Can I make some of the candy apples? I used to do those with my...my dad." I said, trailing off momentarily.
"Perfect sweetie, I was going to ask you if you and Taylor would do them soon." Mrs. Hanson said, picking Zoe up from Isaac's arms. "Ike, help Taylor and Mandie sneak out the front with the bags. I'll tell the kid you went to Amanda's to help her with homework, since it's Sunday. And knowing you," she looked at me, "you seem to be putting homework off until Sunday's now." I looked at Taylor. Remembering what we did two days ago.
"Let's go guys." Taylor said, picking up five bags. I grabbed one but Isaac took it from me, trying to make up for the one's Taylor took. We snuck downstairs, out the front, and then ran across the yard into my house. I locked the back door, so the kids wouldn't come in and sneak up on us.
"Hey Mand?" Taylor said from my bedroom closet. I was lying on my bed, Isaac helping Taylor.
"Hmm?"
"Why did you blow up about Britney?" I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard her name fall from his lips. My lips.
"I can't stand her. I have no respect for her whats so ever. I...ugh!..I just can't believe you guys invited her!" Isaac looked at me.
"It's a costume ball, you probably won't even reconginze her. Don't worry about it." he said, sitting next to me on my bed. Taylor shut the closet, and turned on my radio. Britney Spears' "(you drive me) Crazy" was playing.
"Of course I'll know it her. She'll be the one with the fake boobs and 'perfect abs' showing like theres no tomorrow. Turn that shit off." I said. Taylor turned the radio off, and onto my c.d. Britney Spears' "...Baby one more time" started to play. The boys looked at me, trying to hide their amusement. "Oh shut-up. It's not what you think. Remember Tay?, Friday I played that c.d when we were sleeping? It's my friend Ilana's, she'll be coming to the party." Taylor laughed.
"Yeah, that song is still driving me nuts! It's just sitting in the back of my mind."
"Were sleeping? You guys were sleeping together?" Isaac asked. I smiled, giving him an innocent smile.
"Alway's have..no..I'm only joking. It was early, he came to...well..um..yeah..we were sleeping together.." < p> "Not sex..not yet anyway." Taylor whispered under his breath, almost as if he didn't want me hearing him. I smiled, I couldn't help it. < p> "Exactly Isaac, not yet! It will happen you know." < p> "Oh I know..believe me I know." Ike admited. I raised my eyebrow. < p> "How so?" < p> "It's strange. Think of it..Taylor..my 16 year old brother is going to lose his virginity before me, and I'm almost 19! It's like...c'mon." I laughed, patting his back. < p> "Hey..sorry." Taylor laughed. < p> "Maybe you'll meet some one at the party. Didn't you hear your mom? She said I can invite alot of my high school buds, and Howie is gonna hook some teens up too?" I questioned. < p> "Yeah yeah..hey I'm gonna go. C'mon Tay..you know church is today. We might be back later..I gotta keep my eye on you to." Ike said, standing up. I stood up, and kissed Tay quickly. "Like I said." Ike repeated. I waved him away with a laugh. Taylor clasped my hand as I walked them to the back door. < p> "Come by after church..if you can." I said, as Isaac was half way into his yard. Taylor smiled, kissing me. I sighed and then pulled away. < p> "He's watching us. Make sure not to tell Zac yet..I don't think he'll understand as well as Ike did. Okay?" < p> "Sure. Bye..for now." Tay laughed, kissed me quickly, then dashed to join his brother.
