| Taylor heard his cell ring right when he was getting out of the shower. He quickly wrapped himself in a towel and ran to pick it up. ***************** �Jesus this boy needs to learn how to pick up a cell phone,� I muttered. �Hello?� he answered breathlessly. �Hey!� I said. God, I missed the sound of his voice. �Hey yourself,� he said. �Why are you out of breath?� I asked. �Just ran from the shower.� �Ahh�� I said. �How was your party last night?� �It was fun,� he said non-chalantly. �Drank some beer, sat on a couch�you know, the usual.� �Sounds pretty random�meet any girls?� I asked. I sometimes think I like to torture myself. My asking questions like this just serves to prove that point. �Yeah. But get this�she was with Isaac!� he said. �Isaac?� I asked, unable to keep my giggles under control. �Well good for him.� �Hell yeah good for him! She was fuckin� gorgeous. And rich�It was nuts!� �What about the little brother? He get any play?� I asked. �No idea,� Taylor told her. �I only saw his once throughout the night. He was with a girl, though. Knowing Zac, I�d speculate yes.� �You boys just took that party by storm then, huh?� I teased. �Something like that,� Taylor replied. �So you�ll be home Saturday?� I asked, suddenly sick of the subject. �Yep. Late afternoon on Saturday.� �Awesome. God, I miss you so much,� I told him. �I miss you too, Nat,� he said. I smiled, even though I knew he couldn�t see it. �Hey Nat?� he asked. �Yeah?� �You know I love you, right?� �Yes. And you know I love you too, right?� I asked. �Yep.� �Good. But I have to run�Madison�s on her way to come get me. I just wanted to say hey,� I told him. �It was great talking to ya, Natalie,� he said. �I love you.� �Love you too!� I said. �Bye!� *********************** Taylor pushed the off button on his phone and flopped back on his bed, his wet hair splaying out all over the place. �What the hell did I just do?� he asked aloud. �You fucked up,� Zac�s voice said from the doorway. �You fucked up big time.� |
