A/N: I'm fast aren't I? I already posted up this new chapter. I'm so proud of my self, haha. Well, this chapter is about meeting the Twilight cast (; So yeah, enjoy and thanks for the reviews.
"You know, we need to get out of this car sooner or later." Taylor chuckled beside me. I sighed and kept playing with the hem of my shirt.
"There's nothing to worry about. They're not going to bite." Taylor jokingly said.
"Now isn't the time to joke around Taylor." I said, adding a nervous tone to my voice. I had no idea why I was so nervous. I mean, I wasn't nervous meeting Taylor's parents, so why am I nervous now? This is all ridiculous Marie, just get in there and meet the Twilight cast.
"Come on, let's go." I said and got out of the car before Taylor could fire questions at me as to why I suddenly had the urge to get out of the car. Taylor got out of the car and I was right. He fired questions at me.
"Woah, what's with the change of the heart?" He asked, smiling.
"Well, if I wasn't nervous about meeting your parents, then why should I be nervous about meeting your cast mates?" I explained as I swiftly walked to the front door. I rung the doorbell quickly before I could change my mind and we waited patiently for someone to open the door. I could hear laughter and people talking inside before the door opened.
Right there in front of me was Nikki Reed. When she opened the door, she didn't face me yet. She was probably still laughing at something behind her. When she turned to face me, her eyes lit up. She was actually really pretty up close and in person.
"Oh! You must be Marie!" Nikki proclaimed, suddenly enveloping me in a big hug. I, at first didn't know what to do since she just pulled me into a hug, but then I hugged her back and said, "Yeah, I'm Marie."
We let go of each other and she looked at me. "It's so finally nice to meet you. Taylor's actually never told me about you." Nikki said as she shoved Taylor's shoulder with her hand.
"Hey! You never texted or called me so how was I suppose to tell you about Marie?"
"Well, maybe you could have called or texted too. Not just me!"
"Sure, whatever." Taylor shoved his hands in his pockets with a playful smile plastered on his face. The whole time they were talking, I was just listening to their conversation in amusement.
"So, is everybody inside?" I asked, looking behind Nikki.
"Oh yeah, come inside." Nikki motioned us inside and closed the door. I then started to have butterflies flying around in my stomach of the thought of finally meeting the Twilight cast. I guess Taylor knew I was getting more nervous because he grabbed a hold of my hand and I suddenly felt at ease. He knows how to calm me down. Nikki then led us to what I think was the living room and you could hear laughter coming from out of the room. When I caught sight of Kristen, Rob, Ashley, Jackson, and Kellan, I was starstrucked. As soon as they caught sight of me, they all stood up from the couch and walked towards Taylor and me.
Nikki wrapped her arm around me shoulder and said, "Guys, this is Marie, Taylor's' girlfriend."
"So you're Marie!" Ashley said.
"The one and only." I responded with a smile.
"Well, I'm Ashley. It's finally nice to meet you." Ashley emphasized on the 'finally.'
"It's really nice to meet you too." Next, Kristen stood in front of me.
"Well, I'm Kristen. You know Taylor, you actually have good taste." Kristen said as she kept eyeballing me.
"Hey! I always have good taste." Taylor exclaimed.
"Yeah, sure you do." Kristen murmured.
"Anyway, I'm Rob, it's a pleasure to meet you." Rob announced. His accent is really cool, I like it, I thought.
"Pleasure to meet you too."
"I'm Jackson. It's nice to meet you as well."
"Nice to meet you too."
"And I am Kellan. The one and only hot guy out of these guys here." Kellan said as he ran his fingers through his hair. Cocky much?
"Nice to meet you," I said.
"Oh psh, you are so not the hottest guy here," Rob disputed.
"Believe what you wanna believe, but I am." Kellan said as he went back to sit down on the couch.
"Weird, weird." Rob murmured and shook his head. Everyone then went back to sit down on the couch. Taylor and I then went to sit down on the couch as well.
"So tell us, how'd did you guys meet?" Ashley asked, turning to me.
"Yeah, how did you guys meet? We need all the details since Taylor here never told us about you." Nikki added. Taylor playfully rolled his eyes and I just laughed. "Well…" I began and told the whole story from how Taylor and I met. How I showed Taylor around school on his first day at Carling High, how he tutored me at math since I sucked at it badly, how Taylor made some of my goals in life come true, how I became his girlfriend in the pouring rain, how Taylor met my dad, and how our first date went. Throughout the whole story, there would be choruses of 'awws' and laughter. I really started to feel welcome with them.
"That's one hell of a love story. I never knew you were so romantic Taylor." Jackson stated.
"What! I am romantic, I'm just not romantic towards you." Taylor said, crossing his arms and leaning back into the couch.
"I see, I see." Jackson muttered, while rubbing his chin. After a moment of awkward silence, Kellan shouted, "Let's go swimming!"
Kellan then promptly took off his shirt in front of us, right there in the living room, and took off his jeans. Good thing he was wearing boxers. Though I must say, he's got some good abs, I thought.
"Ew Kellan! Cover up will you?" Nikki exclaimed, pretending to cover up her eyes from the sight of Kellan's nakedness, but actually, she loved it.
"Hell no and I know you love my hot body." Kellan said as he ran out to Nikki's open backyard and moments later, we heard a big splash into the swimming pool.
"Wooh! The water's great guys! Come in!" Rob and Jackson looked at each other and quickly ran out to the backyard. Moments later, we heard two big splashes.
"Taylor! Come on!" Rob shouted.
Taylor turned to me and asked, "Can I go or—"
"Go. I'm safe here, you don't need my permission." I said, trying to push him off the couch. Taylor quickly pecked me on the lips and ran out to the backyard as well to swim with the guys.
"Aww!" The girls' squealed. I blushed and tried to hide my embarrassment, but it was no use.
"Look! She's blushing, that's so cute!" Kristen laughed and pointed at me with her index finger. I got up from my seat and pulled her with me.
"Come on, let's go watch the guys swim." Kristen chuckled and gladly followed me to the backyard. Nikki and Ashley followed us as well, while chuckling at my embarrassment. When I stepped into the open air of Nikki's backyard, I was amazed. Her backyard was huge! She had a Jacuzzi that was shaped out of a heart, a really big swimming pool, a small waterfall that was connected to the swimming pool, a little bar that could serve people alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, white tables that went in each corner of the pool, and white beach chairs that surrounded the pool. It was like visiting a resort.
"Wow, I love your backyard Nikki. It's like a resort!" I exclaimed.
Nikki laughed and said, "I know right? I especially love the Jacuzzi, don't you?"
"Yeah, it's a cute heart Jacuzzi." I responded.
"Yep, I had it made like that for couples." Nikki said and winked. Probably hinting me that Taylor and I could give it a try sometime.
"Come on, let's go sit on the chairs." Nikki motions us towards the chairs and we each went to sit down. I sat down in between Ashley and Kristen. Ashley was on my left and Kristen was on my right.
"I'll be right back, I'm just gonna get us some ice tea." We all nodded and Nikki walked inside to get the drinks. Meanwhile, the guys were having the times of their lives. Taylor stepped out of the pool and I couldn't help but stare. His abs was what I couldn't help but stare at the most. They were just so hot and the water dripping down his body added a great effect to his toned body. It almost seem like everything was played out in a slow motion. But all that slow motion stopped when Kellan sneaked behind Taylor and pushed him in the pool. Ashley, Kristen, and I laughed and got up to high-five Kellan who gladly high-fived us back.
"Good one Kellan!" Jackson exclaimed from the pool.
"I'm such a pro at this." Kellan joked and jumped back into the pool. Taylor resurfaced from under the water and rubbed his hands over his eyes from the water.
"That was so messed up Kellan!" Taylor announced. Kellan laughed an evil laugh and stuck his tongue out at Taylor.
"What's going on?" Nikki asked as she had a tray of ice in her hands.
"Kellan sneaked up behind Taylor and pushed him into the pool. It was hysterical." I explained as Nikki handed Kristen, Ashley, and me an ice tea.
"Typical Kellan," Nikki remarked and let out a small laugh.
"You got that right," Ashley noted. We all quietly took a sip of our drinks and watched the guys nosily tried to push each other into the pool.
"You know Marie, Taylor's going to fall in love with you." Ashley suddenly said as she took a sip of her ice tea. When I heard what Ashley mentioned, I almost choked on my drink. I was starting to cough uncontrollably until I felt Ashley's hand hitting my back, trying to control me. Meanwhile, Kristen and Nikki were laughing hysterically. I finally managed to stop coughing and set my drink on the ground.
"Why are you choking?" Nikki tried to say in between her laughs.
"Because! Ashley just said that out of nowhere and she had to say that right when I was drinking my ice tea." I tried to explain, still trying to get my voice back, but my throat was itchy from coughing a lot.
"Well it's true! He will fall in love with you." Ashley exclaimed.
"You may never know if he will fall in love with me! Why did you say it anyway?" I rose up my eyebrows in curiosity.
"I can see the way he looks at you. It's in his eyes Marie," Ashley hinted.
"Really?" I cocked my head to the side. "Cause I don't see it at all."
"You're not looking deep enough. A guy's eye can say a lot on how they fell about a girl. And in Taylor's eyes right now, it's starting to become love."
"And, he seems really happy too. Ever since you and Taylor stepped into my house, he's been having a big smile on his face. Also, when you were telling us the story on how you two met, he never took his eyes off of you. It's like he was only seeing you in that moment," Nikki said.
"Let's not forget when he even asked for permission earlier if he could go swim with the guys." Kristen added.
"Yeah, but we just started dating. That would be too fast if he's in love with me already." I proposed.
"But he isn't yet. Like I said earlier, he's falling in love with you. Not in love yet, but falling in love. Just look into his eyes and you'll see. Hm, he might even say the L word in two or three months. You'll see." Ashley said. Wow, I thought. I couldn't help, but smile and blush when they all said that.
"Oooh, she's smiling and blushing!" Ashley playfully pushed me with her shoulder. I laughed and shook my head slightly. Out little chitchat girl time was over when were suddenly splashed with water from the guys in the pool. We all shrieked and got up from our chairs. We tried to cover ourselves up with our hands, but it was no use. The guys kept continuously splashing water with us.
"Stop you guys!" Nikki shouted, still trying to cover herself up with her arms.
"Guys, I think we need to get these ladies into the pool," Kellan suggested to the guys.
"Shall we?" Rob asked, whiling looking at each of the guys.
"We shall!" Jackson and Taylor exclaimed with big grins on their faces. Rob, Jackson, Taylor, and Kellan then got out of the pool and started chasing each and every one of us. Well, Rob was after Kristen, Jackson was after Ashley, Kellan was after Nikki, and Taylor was of course, after me.
"Go, go, go!" Kellan ordered. Kellan quickly got a hold of Nikki and threw her into the pool.
"Kellan! I'm all wet and I'm still in my clothes! There goes my new shorts." Nikki shouted, while Kellan jumped back into the pool.
"You girls should have worn your bathing suits before this all happened." Kellan playfully said.
"Whatever." Nikki said, trying to splash water on Kellan. Meanwhile, Jackson got to Ashley and threw her into the pool as well. Rob then got to Kristen and threw her into the pool. The last remaining guy and girl were Taylor and I. I ran to a nearby table and Taylor ran to the opposite side in front of me. Only the table was blocking us for now. From the pool, you could hear the guys chanting Taylor's name and the girls chanting my name.
"Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!" The guys chanted.
"Marie! Marie! Marie!" The girls chanted.
"Come on Marie!" Taylor winked. "I'm going to catch you," Taylor taunted. I was so not going to let him win.
"Are you sure about that pretty boy?" I asked, trying to find a way out. Got it, I thought. I slowly ran to the left side of the table and I could see Taylor slowly coming towards me. He thought I was going to give up so easily huh? I then turned and ran the opposite side of the table towards the pool. I kept running when I suddenly heard a loud grunt. Taylor, I thought. I stopped running and looked behind me. Taylor was on the ground and groaning in pain. I guess he slipped on some water that was on the floor. I slowly started walking back to Taylor when the girls voice stopped me.
"No Marie! Don't go back, he's trying to trick you." The girls exclaimed, motioning me to keep on running.
"But—"I started, but was cut off by the girls again.
"He's tricking you. Keep on running." Ashley shouted. I shook my head and slowly started to walk towards Taylor again. Five more steps and I would be next to him again. I was about to take one more step when Taylor slowly lifted up his head from the ground. There was playful, evil smile, plastered on his face. He winked and swiftly got up. Crap, I thought. The girls were right; he's only tricking me. I smiled sarcastically and rolled my eyes. I then turned on heels and kept running. I didn't want to look back because I could already hear Taylor's footsteps right behind me.
"Watch out Marie!" Kristen shouted from the pool. I looked behind me and wished I didn't because Taylor was just inches away from reaching me. I quicken my pace around the pool and kept running. But damn! Taylor was just too fast because I suddenly felt two strong arms wrapped around my waist.
"Not so fast are we now?" Taylor huskily whispered in my ear.
"Taylor! Let go of me!" I pleaded, trying to get out of his arms.
"Nope!" Taylor laughed as he spun me around two times and threw me into the pool. The water felt so cold and I hate the feeling of your wet clothes sticking to your body. I resurfaced from under the water and I saw a big splash in front of me. I'm guessing that was Taylor who jumped in. Taylor resurfaced from under the water and walked towards the group.
"High five man! The guys won!" Kellan raised up his right hand in the air and high fived Taylor.
"But good one Marie," Kellan added.
"Yeah, good one. We were so close to winning, but next time we girls, will win." Nikki exclaimed, sticking her tongue out at Kellan.
"Yeah! Next we will dominate!" I exclaimed as Taylor stood beside me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he responded by wrapping his arms around my waist.
I leaned in towards his ear and whispered, "So do you want your prize?"
Taylor raise up his eyebrows. "Oh really? What is that?"
"Hm, I don't know a kiss?" I hinted.
"I like that prize a lot," He smiled big and leaned forward until our lips touched. We were so into the moment until we heard choruses of 'awws' and loud whistles. Taylor smiled against my lips and we pulled away from each other. We both laughed and turned bright red.
"Hey Nikki! Can I get a prize too?" Kellan asked as he tried to lean in towards Nikki.
"Ew, yuck. No!" Nikki pushed Kellan away and splashed him with water. She likes him, I thought. She just won't admit it. Hm, I'll have to talk to her about that later. I looked over at Taylor who was watching Nikki and Kellan splash each other. He noticed me staring at him and looked at me. I remembered what Ashley said about looking deep into his eyes. I then stared intently into his eyes and looked deep. A few moments later, I started to see what the girls were talking about. There was something in his eyes the way he was looking at me. It wasn't lust or it wasn't just looking into my eyes. It was…it was like he was looking at me with love. Like he was falling in love with me.
"Yes? Why are you staring at me like that?" Taylor asked, as he looked at me weird now.
"Huh? Nothing really, I'm just looking at what color your eyes are." I lied, still holding onto his neck.
"They're brown, you know that already." He chuckled.
"I know, I just wanted to make sure." I said, putting my head on his shoulder.
"Oh and thank you." I softly said into his neck.
"For what?"
"For bring me here and for meeting them."
"Why you're welcome."
"They're so fun and understanding."
"That's why I love them." Taylor chuckled. I sighed deeply into his neck and kissed it softly. We were again interrupted when the group called us over and we went to join them play, 'Marco, Polo.' After, we all continued to swim and play those pool games. It was definitely a day to remember. I was just really glad I met some of the Twilight cast today. They really know how to have a good time…
