Chad and Taylor walked down the path, Taylor with her bike beside her and Chad with his hands in his pockets.
"I don't want to purposely stay away from her you know? I have to go to work." Taylor sighed
"I understand, but she is right. You should be there for your daughter more often; she is a very bright kid. Like, whenever I'm having a bad day and I'm babysitting her, as if she can read my mind she'll walk over with that thousand dollar smile and say something totally random like, " he imitated her voice, "Do you think Llamas are cool? The Sims do, I saw Jordan playing that once, but she said I can't play it until I'm a teenager." He laughed
Our daughter… Taylor thought as she gave a weak smile, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her leg. "Ow!" she whispered, involuntarily tipping a little. Chad held the bike up.
"Are you okay?" He asked with a small smile
Your thousand dollar smile… She blinked."Um, yes! Yes I'm fine my…" she pointed "Thigh just hurts a little. Tmi again."
"Oh Yeah! How could I forget I can be such an idiot!" Chad facepalmed himself
Taylor looked up "Since when did you start calling yourself an idiot?" she asked
Chad was silent for a while, an action that honestly frightened Taylor. After awhile he finally answered, "That's something I can't say now…"
Taylor slowly nodded, ignoring the random lump in her throat. She cleared her throat and inhaled "Chad?" she said quietly
"Yes?" he turned his head
"Um, listen. About the other day in the gym when I said Mrs. Sunshine it was a mistake, I didn't want to hurt you so I just- no I did mean too but it was the incorrect thing to do and I'm so sorry for saying it and-" Taylor's voice had began to peak and Chad could see her face puffing up and her eyes getting watery, making her baby face like, 50 times more beautiful. He spoke gently.
"Taylor no, it's okay, it's okay." He soothed her
"I don't know why I can be such a jerk sometimes it- it just…" she began to cry again "I'm really sorry it was just Kevin and Jasmine and Jordan and I had to leave work early because Kevin just can't keep his mouth shut sometimes-" He smiled at the slight humor, pulling her into a tight hug
"He doesn't mean too Taylor, if you need to cry just let it all out, I promise I won't get sensitive." He spoke gently; she hugged him back not knowing why and cried. She sniffed and lifted her head
"Do you want to watch Jasmine?" She asked
-I got the moves like Jaz-a! I got the moves like Jaz-a! I got the- mooooooooves like Jaz-a!-
Taylor opened the door and walked up to the alarm system, unlocking Jasmine's door and window, Jasmine came out.
"Hi mommy! Hi Chad!" She squealed, jumping into her mom's arms.
"Hey you!" She sighed, hugging her. She turned to Chad, "I'll be back after wedding rehearsals, have fun." She smiled, placing Jasmine down
Chad watched her go out, waving his farewells. When the door closed he looked down to see Jasmine looking up at him. "Okay, let me see if I'm in the mind of a four year old." He said "Tea party."
Jasmine ran upstairs "EXACTLY in my mind!"
-Kevlor-Chaylor-Kevlor-
Jordan walked into the house to find a blanket on the floor and Chad having a tea party with Jasmine. She covered her hand with her mouth and giggled slightly.
"Care for tea Jordan?" Chad joked
"No thank you." She managed to muffle out, she removed her hand "I ate earlier."
"Hi Jojo!" Jasmine waved
"Hey there." She waved at her niece before she ran over and embraced her legs "I missed you too!"
"I missed you more." She smiled
"nu-uh!" she teased
"Uh huh!" she shook her head
"Aww! Family love!" Chad teased, tilting his head to the side. Jordan stuck her tongue out at him.
"Jay, is it okay if you go upstairs for a moment?" she smiled
"Okay!" she said happily as she went up.
Jordan sighed and kicked her shoes off, sitting on the blanket and taking a sandwich. Breaking pieces off as she ate. "So how was your day?"
"It's a Jolly holiday with Jazzy." He smiled "You look like you've been through the gray and ordinary." He smiled
Jordan held up a finger "Ah but you forget my good man!" She sang, "Jazzy makes the sun shine bright!"
"I'm not Mary Poppins!" Jazzy giggled from the stairs
Jordan smiled "Go play a game!" After a few seconds of silence, she nodded to Chad.
"Oh happiness is blooming all around her! The daffodils are smiling at the doves!" Jordan and Chad sang, they sang the next part at the top of their lungs "WHEN JAZZY HOLDS YOUR HAND, YOU FEEL SO GRAND! YOUR HEART STARTS BE!-"
"You guys!" she giggled
"Aw!" Chad's heart melted at the sound.
Jordan smirked and shook her head at Jasmine "You know this is so cool! She actually left you alone with her this time!" Jordan said
"I know, I love spending time with her." Chad smiled
Jordan smiled quietly and nodded, knowing what Taylor hadn't said yet.
"Was her dad this bright?" he pointed
Jordan smirked "Yeah, he was. I loved him like a little brother though"
"I thought I was the only one you loved like a little brother!" he joked
"Oh you are!" Jordan nodded brightly
Chad raised an eyebrow, before he could open his mouth to ask what she meant; the door opened revealing a very sad looking Taylor. She was crying.
"Oh Taylor what happened!?" Jordan said in shock
"I don't want to talk about it…" she shook her head before running into the office.
Jordan sighed. She answered Chad's next unspoken question. "He left her at the altar again. It's like he almost never shows up. I will be so surprised if he shows up for the real thing" She sighed, pouring some tea. Chad looked sympathetically. Jordan looked up from blowing her tea.
"You should go talk to her." She motioned with her head. Chad got up.
Closing the door to the office, Chad saw Taylor with her eyes shut, crying quietly against the bookcase. Chad walked over.
"I'm sorry about what happened." He sighed
"How did you know?" she asked, her eyes opening with sadness. She closed her eyes and held her head back again "Oh yes, I have a sister."
Chad felt so sad, Kevin was so mean. Why would he do that? "Are you okay?" he noticed Taylor had been hyperventilating through her tears
"N-No! *gasp* I don't u-understand why he keeps doing this! *gasp* Does he want to get married? Does he even like me? Is he using me?" It was uncontrollable at this point. She was speaking really fast. Like Emma on Glee when her wedding was making her nervous. Taylor's wedding was unpredictable making her even more nervous. "This isn't Aladdin he can't just show up "fashionably late" he made a commitment! Was it fake? Is it a mistake? Should I even marry him in the first place?" Taylor began full on sobbing, her body suddenly turned weak.
"Taylor. Taylor please stop crying." Chad said, feeling kind of depressed for her. It was like they shared the same feelings with one another. But if she didn't stop hyperventilating and crying like this she was going to lose control of her breathing, go into shock, and kill herself.
"Taylor." He begged, cupping her face in his hands. She had to stop, for his and her sake. "Taylor stop, stop, stop." Suddenly, he kissed her. It was for about 2 seconds but it happened. Taylor looked in shock. Chad looked and walked out the office. Taylor hiccupped one last time. She shook her head, eyes wide. Wondering what had just happened.
