Rescuing Me
Chapter 3 'The Beach.'
A/N: Some changes are going in this chapter.
Taylor Pov(Yay!)
I dropped my car keys for the fourth time in the last 10 minutes. I was really nervous, I can't believe I asked Lily out and she had said yes!
"Chill out Taylor!" My sister Bridgette laughed at me. "Lily must be some girl if she's got you this nervous."
"She's awesome Bridgette. She's beautiful, she likes dogs, she's on the search and rescue team, she's not going to act weird around me because of what happened." I briefly met Bridgette's eyes. We both still missed our parents.
"Yeah. Didn't you say she got kidnapped? And the guy who did it never got caught?" She said playing with my shirt collar.
"Yeah. Apparently he demanded a ransom and her mom couldn't pay it. That's when Search and Rescue came in." I told her. She nodded.
"There! You're ready to go!" Bridgette said. I looked towards her mirror on her wall. I saw myself brown hair, my dark blue eyes, I had a black semi-formal shirt on and jeans and I wore white sneakers.
"Thank you Bridgette for your help. I'll be back later." I said to her, giving her a hug. I walked out the door excited and nervous for tonight.
…...
Lily Pov(6:30pm)
"Clara!" I said exasperated. She had been trying to get me to dress up and put make up on me for the last ten minutes. "I'm wearing these jeans and this t-shirt. And no make up." I put my hands on my hips.
She laughed. "Okay I'm sorry. I have 4 boys. I never got to have a girl to dress up. I can't believe it's your first date! And it's with Taylor. Such a nice boy!" She sighed.
I heard the doorbell ring and I felt my stomach flip. Ugh. Clara went to answer the door. I looked at myself quickly. Light blonde/brown hair, brown eyes, dark blue jeans, plain white t-shirt, neon blue sneakers. Okay, calm down.
I walked quietly down the stairs and I saw Dan, Taylor and Clara standing next to each other. Mom had asked Clara and Dan to see me off on my first date. I walked down the rest of the stairs.
Everyone turned to look at me. "You look b-beautiful!" Taylor choked his words out. I blushed.
"Thank you. You don't look bad yourself." I smiled at him.
"You ready to go?" Taylor asked smiling back.
"Yeah. Bye Clara, Dan." I said.
"Be back by midnight Lily." Dan said. I nodded and shut the door behind me. Taylor held the passenger door open for me and I got in and he closed it. A gentleman, that was cute.
He got in the drivers side and started the car. He backed out of the driveway and went to the right. "So where are we going?" I asked curiously. Taylor flashed me a quick smile before responding.
"It's a surprise." He said. I gave him a tortured look, he just laughed. "That won't work on me."
I rolled my eyes and sat back in my seat. He turned on the radio.
…...
15 minutes later
We pulled up to a restaurant that I didn't know. It was called Sunset Beach Bar and Grill. I looked at him, confused. "It's a really nice place. Plus it's near your second surprise." Taylor said grabbing my hand. I looked at him in surprise.
"Another surprise?" My voice sounded weird.
"Yep." He grinned and led me up to the hostess stand. She looked up at him and her eyes checked him up and down. What the...? I thought to myself. Doesn't she see he's kind of on a date?. Wait. I have no reason to be jealous...It's our first date and I mean technically he's not mine. "Table for two please."
"Right this way." She basically purred to him. Oh. My. Gosh... She lead us to a booth in the back, where there was no one else. "Is this okay?"
"Yes it's good. Thank you." Taylor said politely.
"Your waitress will be out shortly." She said then left.
"Order anything you want. Doesn't matter about price." Taylor looked at me over his menu while he said this. "Do you want an appetizer?"
A thoughtful smile appeared on my face. "Oh my gosh. Do you know how many calories this food has?!" I asked with a completely serious face. I watched Taylor's face for a reaction.
His mouth dropped open and he looked shocked but he quickly regained a calm face. "Oh...um do you want to go somewhere else...that has...less calories?" He sounded uncomfortable.
I started laughing so hard at his face and words. And every time I went to say something to him when I thought I calmed down, I started laughing again. He just looked at me like I was crazy.
"I...was...just...kidding." I managed to get the words out of my mouth. He looked shock and relieved.
"Wow. You got me good. You really, truly scared me for a moment I thought you were one of those girls who worry way too much about what they eat, how many calories are in it..." Taylor chuckled after what he said.
"Ah. I just had to play a joke on you." I grinned at him. He, now rolled his eyes. "Oh lookout here comes our waitress."
Taylor turned his head around to look quickly and then turned it back, looking at his menu. Then our waitress came. She was probably about 5'6, red hair, and green eyes. And of course she just looked at Taylor. Oh please.
"May I get you a drink tonight?" She said with her back to me.
"Um..I'll take a mountain dew?" Taylor said hesitantly and he looked at me.
"I'll take a Pepsi." I said confidently. Just because she was staring at Taylor doesn't mean anything. She looked at me quickly and wrote it down.
"Are you ready to order food?" She asked.
"We'll take cheesy fries as an appetizer with bacon bits and ranch on the side please." Taylor grinned at me quickly. "And I'll have the petite sirloin. Well done please." The waitress nodded.
"And for you?" She smiled politely.
"I'll take the chicken tender platter please?" I said and she nodded and took our menus and left. "Cheesy fries with bacon bits and ranch?"
"You don't like it?" Taylor asked.
"No! I love it! Mmm. Maybe this date will be good." I flashed Taylor a smile and he seemed happy.
"So tell me about yourself." Taylor suggested.
"I'm 17 years old. I've lived here for 11 years, I love it. I go surfing mostly every morning with my best friend Caleb. The only family I know is my Uncle Billy and his 3 kids in Washington, the state. I have 3 cousins Jacob, Rachel and Rebecca." I told him. "I have my license but I don't have a car to drive. I've never had a dog until now, and this is my first date."
He looked shocked again. "This is your first date? With a pretty girl like you I would of thought you were experienced in dates!" He smiled at me again.
"Well I mean I've had a boyfriend but nothing serious..maybe a few weeks or months" I said. "And now you have to tell me about yourself!"
"I'm 21 years old. I went to the Community College of Eddington County, majoring in Emergency Management. I've lived here for the past 2 years. I only know my dad's side of the family because my mom's side didn't like my dad and basically they abandoned her." I saw his eyes flash at that. I knew that feeling. "How can you abandon your own child?"
"I don't know." I whispered. "My mom's side of the family is the same. Except my uncle Billy, and my 3 cousins. They still accept mom even though she didn't marry a Quileute. My mom is full Quileute, and her parents didn't want her to be with my father, he was white. They thought she should ditch him, go to college and marry a Quileute boy."
"Wow. So it looks like we're kind of on the same page with family." Taylor said, unhappily.
"Yeah." I said. I heard a song playing and I recognized it as 'Lips Of An Angel' By Hinder.
"Will you dance with me?" Taylor asked me. I nodded a bit shyly. Taylor grabbed my hand and lead me to a small dance floor. I put my hands on his shoulders and he put his arms around my waist. Taylor started singing the words in my ear.
"It's really good to hear your voice, saying my name, it sounds so sweet, coming from the lips of angel. Hearing those words make me weak..." Taylor quietly whispered in my ear. "And I never wanna say goodbye, but girl you make it hard to be faithful, with lips of an angel."
I looked up towards him and I saw his eyes were happy. "I'm really enjoying this date so far." Taylor said.
"Me too." I smiled. We both sat down and I saw our waitress headed our way with our drinks and food.
"Here you go." She said, her voice was full of fake sweetness, she sat down the food and left.
As we ate we talked about Search and Rescue, our dogs and what they did, we talked a bit about surfing. "Will you teach me?" Taylor asked. I grinned at him.
"Sure." I replied. "It shouldn't be hard, you're in shape already, you just have to learn to balance a bit." (a/n;I have never surfed before in my life, please forgive me if I'm wrong on anything! Lol)
"As long as you're there to teach me, I'm sure I can learn." Taylor smiled at me. I saw our waitress headed back to the table again.
"Is there anything else I can get you?" She asked, and I swear her words had a double meaning to it.
I had to work to keep my mouth from dropping open. "No thank you, we're ready for the check now." Taylor told her.
She handed him the check and he quickly pulled out a bill. "Keep the change." He said. And we both got up and headed towards the door. Taylor grabbed my hand, leading me towards the car. "Now for your second surprise!"
I just smiled at him. Tonight was so great. I buckled my seat belt as he pulled out of the parking lot and headed towards Liberty. Liberty? What was in Liberty?
…...
30 minutes later.
We pulled up to a beautiful house. In the fading light, it looked gray, with a big wrap around porch/deck. I looked at him. "What is this Taylor?" I asked, with a hint of nervousness in my voice. Why was he bringing me to a house?
Taylor answered by getting out of the car and coming around to my door and opening it for me. I slowly got out and stood next to him. "This was our beach house." Taylor said simply. I realized he meant his family.
"Wow." I said. Taylor slowly reached out and grabbed my hand. I followed him as he started walking, he walked to the front door and unlocked and led me in. I gasped as we entered the family room(I'm guessing). It was very pretty, It held a black leather couch and a black leather chair, a wooden coffee table, various pictures of Taylor and I guessed his family. "Taylor, it's beautiful!"
Taylor smiled at me. "Wait until you see the upstairs." He said walking towards the stairs.
I once again was amazed by a room. It was the living room[again guessing] and had gray couches, wooden chairs with black cushions, a big window with a sitting place in it. Also a fireplace, and glass sliding doors and then the kitchen was right by the living room. It had a big white refrigerator, a dish washer, a stove and oven. It was mostly light wood and white appliances. It also had a semi-long counter with bar stools, and a black table right by some big windows that showed a beautiful view of the ocean.
"I come here when I need to be alone, or need to think. It's so peaceful out here. We're the only ones around for miles." Taylor said sitting down on the couch. I sat beside him. "Bridgette is 18 now, she's getting ready to go to college, she wants to go to the University Of Jacksonville in Florida. Soon I'll be all alone."
"I'll be here." I whispered to Taylor. He smiled at me.
"There's something about you, Lily. I don't know what it is, but I feel something for you. I really like you—but it's more than that. You're special." Taylor said, gently putting his hand on my cheek.
"That's good. I like you too." I said back.
"Can I kiss you?" Taylor asked.
"Yes." I said. Taylor leaned over and put his lips on mine. His lips were warm against mine and I kissed him back.
"This really wasn't your second surprise. I wanted to take you somewhere. Come on." Taylor said getting up and grabbing my hand. He led me out of the glass sliding doors and we went down the steps from the deck. We walked along a small kind of board side walk.
We stopped at the end of it near the water. "You may want to take your shoes off here Lily." Taylor suggested. I took off my sneakers and socks and rolled up my pants legs. Taylor did the same.
Then Taylor grabbed my hand again. I looked out at the ocean and I realized the sun was setting. "It's so beautiful." I said amazed.
"Nothing can be as beautiful as you." Taylor whispered in my ear. I blushed and looked down. "It's true."
"Thanks" I whispered back. Taylor sat down in the sand and I sat down with him, he put his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. I sighed and laid my head on his shoulder.
…...
3 hours later(9:15pm)
Taylor pulled into my driveway and put the car in park. I opened my door and he came around and grabbed my hand, again. I just smiled, I was used to it.
Taylor walked me up to my door. "I kind of wish I didn't have to say goodnight to you." Taylor said, pulling me close to him.
"You'll see me tomorrow morning!" I laughed.
"Can I pick you up tomorrow morning?" Taylor asked.
"Yes if you want to. I'm pretty sure Dan and Clara are still here so I can tell Dan." I said. I saw some of the living room window curtains moving. "We're being spied on." I laughed again. Then the door opened and there was my mom.
"I couldn't resist! Taylor, I wanted to see who was taking my baby girl out on a date." My mom almost squealed the last words. I groaned.
"No, Lily it's cool. Hi Ms...?" Taylor looked at me, kind of desperately. 'Ms. Black' I mouthed to him. "Ms. Black, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Please call me Rose. Would you like to come in?" My mom asked Taylor.
"Thanks but I can't, my sister is probably wondering where I am. I really have to get home." Taylor said...I looked at my mom, just staring at her.
"Oh! Well I'll wait inside for you Lily! Nice meeting you Taylor." My mom said closing the door. I looked up at Taylor and smiled. He put his arms around my waist and gently kissed my lips. I shivered in bliss.
He pulled away and grinned. "I'll see you tomorrow morning Lily." Taylor said, starting to walk to his car.
"Night Taylor!" I said, going into the house. I saw my mom, Clara, and Dan sitting in the living room.
"Hi everyone." I said. Clara and my mom looked at me expectantly. "Dan, Taylor's going to pick me up in the morning."
Dan chuckled. "Alright Lily. I just took Trixie out for you, so she's up in your room waiting for you." Dan told me.
"Thanks Dan. I'm so tired, I have to go to bed." Clara and mom were still looking at me. "I'll tell you everything tomorrow night!"
I ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. The light was on and Trixie wagged her tail at me and I quickly took off my clothes and changed into my shorts and tank top. "Let's go to bed Trix." I said turning out the light and getting under my covers.
Tonight was so good! I couldn't wait until tomorrow!
…...
A/N; Hey! How did you like it?! Sorry it was so late, I'm really really sorry! I hope you liked it! How did you think the date went? Do you think Taylor and Lily are good together? Should there be a 2nd date? PLEASE Review!
Thanks!

I changed some scenes in here. Like their kiss in the restaurant I took out and their passionate kissing at the beach house. Too soon, too fast. So it's out! Hope that's okay.
