AN: Melina decides to snoop around Taylor's closet, but soon enough, she finds something very interesting.

Chapter Two: The Secrets in The Closet

Melina always wondered what was so special about her friend Taylor. She worked hard at the mechanic shop that she owned, and she was really friendly towards her as well. Even though that they have been friends for a long time, but once they both grew into older women, Taylor seemed to be kind of shy around Melina. She didn't mind that at all, but for some strange reason, it always kind of bothered her. She really loved her as a friend, but there was something about her that made her really curious about her.

Since Melina didn't have anything to do today, she figured that she might go fishing around in Taylor's room. So that is what she was doing now. There wasn't much out of the ordinary in the room. There was posters of various bands, cameras on her dressers, a laptop in the corner, various cosmetic objects, and nothing out of the ordinary there at all.

Then she turned to the closet. She opened it up, and saw nothing but clothes in hangers at the top, and pairs of shoes at the bottom.

Melina was about to close the closet, when a box caught her eye. Since the box was open, not taped shut anyway, Melina brought it out into the sunlight, and looked inside. The only thing that was inside was a red checkered shirt, and a photo of a young 18 year old Taylor, dressed in jeans, and a Sting t-shirt, with an women twice her age, with her arm around her shoulder. Melina flipped the picture, and saw a date on it.

"10-15-86. What does that mean?" Melina asked herself. She just shrugged her shoulders, and put everything back the way it was. She violated her friend's privacy enough, and she probably was going to face Taylor's wrath once she got home.

Taylor was busy under one of the cars, trying to see what the problem was. That is one of the things today that made her frustrated at the way this country was going. See, this was a brand new car that someone had bought, and most likely this was going to be in the shop for a long time even though it was almost brand new. But of course, the idiot driver that this lucky automobile belonged to completely knocked the back axle off the joint, and now lucky Taylor had to magically put it back on.

"Man, some idiots don't need to drive." Taylor grunted to herself.

As she was working on the car, she kept thinking about the dream that she had last night. Ever since she was a teenager, for some strange reason, she was always into girls. The fact that when she was seventeen, she lived with a hot older blonde didn't help. She still remembered that woman, but she was in a similar situation now, living with a close friend in which her feelings stretched far beyond friendship.

Taylor slid out from under the car, and wiped the black grease off of her face. She managed to get the fucking axle back on the damn car, how? Only god knew the answer to that question. Now came the hard part. All she had to do was figure out how in the hell she was going to spend the rest of her day at work. She contemplated leaving and heading home, but with Melina there, she didn't want to risk running into her especially if she was undressed. So, Taylor just smiled, and went towards another car, beginning to work on it.

As Melina sat in the kitchen, briefly looking out at clear Los Angeles evening, she really wondered what was going on with her friend, Taylor. She owned a successful business, she was liked by a lot of people, but for some reason, Taylor always tried to impress her, and she always wanted to do things with her. She also didn't seem to mind it at all when she would walk around the house in only a tight t-shirt or just her underwear. As she sat there, thinking about what might be wrong with Taylor, one thought crossed Melina's mind. Could Taylor be...

"Nah, couldn't be." Melina said, brushing off her thoughts.

As soon as Taylor arrived home, she could literally sense that Melina was waiting for her. She knew that Melina knew that she was home, because her car made some noise as she pulled up in front of the house. She just sighed, turned off her car, and locked it. She walked up to the house and entered it. She quietly locked it behind her, and saw that the lights were out in the main part of the house. She began to creep towards her home, and hoped that she was not going to get caught, but of course.

"Taylor, can I talk to you?" Melina asked, peeking her head out from her room.

"Sure." Taylor said with a smile. She removed her head band, letting her blonde hair fall, to her shoulders, and entered Melina's room, to her pleasant surprise, Melina was getting ready for bed, and she was only dressed in her Victoria's Secret black bra and panties. Taylor hoped that she was able to keep herself under control while Melina talked to her.

"Yeah? What;s on yout mind?" Taylor asked.

"John is throwing a Halloween Party next week, and I was wondering if you could come. Can you?" Melina asked.

"Sure, If I am not busy, I'll go." Taylor said with a smile.

"Thanks." Melina said.

"Goodnight." Taylor said.

"Goodnight." Melina replied answered back.

Taylor went into her closet, and grabbed the red checkered shirt in the box at the bottom of the closet. She held it close, and smelled the illusive smell that it had. She held it close to her, as she crawled into bed. Memories of her first live flooded her mind as she cried herself to sleep.
