We were in Cincinnati. It was 11:45 at night and I was curled up in bed, only moments away from dozing off, when a noise in the other room alarmed me into sitting up. The door to my room creaked open and there stood Taylor, in his boxers, peering over at the bed to see if I was awake. I sighed and pulled the covers open for him. He grinned and crawled in with me, pulling me into his arms. I smiled to myself and rested my head on his bare chest as he played with my hair.

"How much longer do you think we can keep this up before people start getting suspicious?" he whispered in a lazy tone. I looked up in his eyes and he looked down at me.

"I don't know.."

"I mean, you'd think someone would realize we're together, I broke up with Sheila and now I come out of your room every morning in only my boxers.. Think they're gonna get the hint soon?"

"I hope not. So, was Sheila really mad when you broke it off with her?"

"Nope, she said she expected it."

"Oh.. That's cool. I'm glad she didn't come with you guys. She probably would have told Zac." I cuddled closer to him and sighed.

"Yeah. That wouldn't be good..." Taylor got this far away look in his eyes as he absently played with my hair. I looked up at him.

"Something wrong?" I asked, reaching up and brushing a hair behind his ear. He smiled down at me.

"Nope. I'm fine. Why?"

"I don't know, you just seem a little spacey, that's all." He leaned down and kissed me softly. Then, he laid his head down on the pillow and sighed, closing his eyes. I smiled to myself and began kissing his chest softly.

Just then, I heard the door creek open again and looked, wide-eyed, at the figure standing in the doorway to my room. There stood Zac in his pajamas, looking sleepy. I don't think he registered what was going on because he scooted into bed with us. Taylor and I looked at each other and nodded and Taylor got out of bed and snuck out of the room. "Hey Zac? What's up?"

"You and Tay are going out now, aren't you?" he asked, closing his eyes and getting comfy under the covers. My mouth dropped open in shock.

"Uh..."

"I've known about you guys for a long while now, you know?" he cracked a smile and peered at me through small slits. I looked at him in shock. "You two are horrible at keeping secrets.." he laughed softly.

"So, you're okay with this?"

"Yeah, whatever makes you happy.." He kissed my cheek, "You can go into his room or something.. I just came in here because I couldn't sleep."

"No, it's ok.. I'll stay here until you fall asleep." I smiled at him.

"It's ok.. Go get your man." he smirked and that's when I knew he was okay with Taylor and I going out. I smiled, kissed his cheek, and got out of bed. I made my way to Taylor's room, using the extra key he had given me. I snuck into his bedroom to find him sleeping soundly. I snuck into the bed with him and cuddled up close to him. He opened his eyes and looked at me, a little confused.

"What are you doing in here? What about Zac?" he whispered.

"Zac knows... and he doesn't care."

"You serious?"

"As cancer.." I smiled and kissed him. He pulled me close and kissed back. I straddled him and began kissing down his neck to his bare chest. He pulled my face up to his lips and kissed me while rolling on top of me.
