I finally found Taylor�s khakis shoved under my desk chair.  I pulled the phone out of the pocket and was seriously ready to throw it out the opened door until I saw the caller ID flashing.  �Dad�s Cell� blinked across the screen, and if it had been anyone but a parent the phone would have been passed tense by now.  I held it tight in my hand and jumped on top of Taylor.

�Taylor, answer your damn phone!� I told him.

�No�sleeping,� he said, burying his face in his pillow.

�It�s your father�s cell phone.  It�s gotta be important.  Will you please just answer the damn thing?  It�s driving me fucking nuts!� I said, shoving the ringing phone in his face.  At the mention of his dad�s name, Taylor sat up, knocking me off his lap and to the floor.

�Oww!�  I yelled, tossing the phone at his head.  �That was my ASS!�

Taylor stuck his tongue out at me and pushed the answer button on the phone.  �Hey Dad,� he said into it.  I silently picked my bruised self off the floor and grabbed Taylor�s tee shirt.  I pulled it over my head and quietly slid back into bed.

�Yeah, I had a good time last night,� he said.  I kept my giggles under control as he shot me a look.  �Went to dinner with Nat then slept at Will�s,� he blatantly lied to his father.  �It was easier than driving back into Tulsa cause it was so late�. Yes dad�� there was a lot of talking being done on the other end.  I could tell by the look on his face that Taylor was getting sick of it.  Finally, he decided to put it to an end.

�So dad, why the 9am phone call?� he asked.  His dad started up another long talk, but this time Taylor was actually paying attention. 

�So they printed some album covers with a typo.  It�s no big deal,� he told his dad.

�ALL the album covers with a typo?  What the hell are we going to do?  And what was the typo anyway?� Taylor nearly shouted into the phone.  His dad offered some kind of suggestion, but Taylor shot it down immediately.

�I refuse to be known as �Raytor� on my album because some retard can�t type!� he yelled.  �What are we doing about this?�

His dad talked for a few more minutes and Taylor just sat there, completely fuming.  �Yeah dad,� he said after a few moments.  �I can be home in a half hour.�
