Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Sorry, I can't access at the moment so I'll put you in the credits! Again, at school, whenever I'm at school, I make chapters as long as possible to last you throughout the day or week! So, two or three chapters should be squeezed in here. Enjoy!
Taylor woke up to a hard pillow smacking her in the face
"Ow!" She groaned
"Get- UP- VOUS MORCEAU DE MERDE!" Nadia raged In french "Téléchargez votre LAZY Mais sur le canapé !"
(Google translate you guys, I know it's not entirely relevant, but just use it. I checked them, so it should translate exactly, then again it's not that serious.)
"Okay!" She yelled as Nadia pushed her into the bathroom
"GO GO bouger!" She yelled as Taylor shut the door "ET JUSTE POUR QUE JE manger vos gaffers!" She raged
"Not my waffles!" Taylor's eyes widened
"OUI! VOTRE délicieuses gaufres!" She did a quick nod "I'll teach you to forget errands." she mumbled
Taylor stepped out the bathroom fully dressed to find Nadi eating her waffles.
"I told you-" She began
"Get in the car." Nadia pointed
-(singing the wiggles) Ridin' in her big red car! (Big red car, big red car!) Jump in the car!-
Nadia and Taylor got out Nadia's small car and stepped onto the stone walkway and entered the outdoor market, baskets in hand.
"So what do we need again?" Taylor said wearing her flowing blue short dress with purple accents
"Oh just a few things for Chad's darling fiancee." Nadia rolled her eyes
Taylor stopped walking and began to grin "Did you just roll your eyes?" she asked eagerly, catching up with her.
"Oh Taylor do try to keep up, she's in a fitting trance." Nadia growled, feeling a plump tomato
"You rolled your eyes." she smirked giddily
"So?" Nadia shrugged
"So I want to know what the issue is!" She said
"Two please." Nadia said as the marketer weighed the fruitful rubies "You really wanna know?"
"Yes please!" Taylor insisted
"Shaylah is a bit- no. Shaylah is sensitive beyond help." Nadia said "You should see her Taylor! The slightest thing could make her burst her cap!" she retrieved her purchase "Thank you." She looked at the list "Okay so we need 90 pounds of sugar cubes-"
"For the guys weekly baking." Taylor nodded
"No." Nadia lowered her sunglasses "For Shaylah." she said folding them
"WHAT?!" Taylor scoffed "No way."
"No look it says right there, ninety sugar cubes exactly." Nadia showed her the list.
Taylor gasped "Who on Earth would need ninety sugar cubes?" She breathed
"Mrs. Danforth- Turner!" she switched after seeing Taylor turn pale. "Really, Taylor you should let these things go. You can't just let him-"
"Does the company even have enough money for ninety sugar cube bags, especially the CRYSTAL ones?!" She quickly changed the subject, looking at the list's precise order. Nadia blew her bangs from her eyes.
"Why don't you call our boss and find out?" The brunette sighed, handing her the phone.
2 minutes later...
"Ninety. Sugar cubes." Gabriella said with narrowed eyes, the phone cord twisted around her index finger.
"That is what was requested." Taylor said to her best friend sympathetically
"Why does she even need them in cubes?!" Gabriella protested
"She wants them- PLUS all the sugar we're putting within the six tier cake- on top of the layers. Apparently, she likes 'fashionable cakes'" Nadia finger quoted
"Or Diabetes." Taylor mumbled
"Oui." Nadia nodded
"Well..." The lovely Latina sighed, moving her feet off the desk. "Customers come first..."
"Yes Gabriella." They replied, hanging up.
Nadia inhaled after a moment "Well, shall we?"
"We shall." Taylor smiled weakly, the started off towards the sugar marketers stand.
"Hello, we need ninety crystal sugar cube bags please." Nadia smiled
"That will be one thousand please for our finest sugar cubes." He said "Especially ninety bags." He raised an eyebrow, Nadia narrowed her eyes and smacked the money down. The Man smirked and tucked it away.
"Oh Nadia what will we ever do with you." Taylor smiled
"What? I think it's preposterous!" Nadia growled
"It is preposterous I can assure-" Taylor gasped
"What happened?" Nadia looked concerned
"Get down." Taylor pulled her down, of course, not without dear Nadia staring at the Merchant evilly.
"Whatever is the matter?" Nadia asked
"Hush!" Taylor hissed.
They looked under the table, and who other than Chad was over in the corner with his fiancee.
"Seriously?" Nadia narrowed her eyes "You have to be kidding with me."
"He looks...annoyed..." Taylor tilted her head as Shaylah began to throw a tantrum
"Yes..." Nadia stared disturbed "I would be too...we should help him."
Again Taylor looked pleadingly at her french companion. Nadia shook her head "To hell with it." she stood "Hello Chad!" she waved, Taylor cowered behind. She did not see Chad approach the table.
"I have to get my car to load the sugar cubes in," she began before discreetly pointing to Taylor "I think you know what to do." she growled, Chad looked at Taylor and flinched.
"But Nadia!" Chad began
"I won't be long, Au revoir!" She waved it off cheerfully. Chad sighed.
He leaned on a pillar and smirked "Hello Taylor." he smiled
Taylor gasped and flipped around, her long hair swishing. "C-Chad! Um, fancy meeting you here..." She stammered
Chad smirked again "And you as well...May I ask what you are doing on the floor?"
Taylor's face turned red. "I was looking for my phone!" she quickly said
"I think it may be..." Chad reached into Taylor's small purse which swung around her waist and pulled it out "Here." he smiled
Taylor turned crimson "Of course...silly me..." she smoothed her dress downwards
Chad chuckled at her before his expression turned serious, he offered her a hand. Taylor almost got up on her own cooly, but her nice side took over and she reluctantly took it.
When standing up, and quickly backing up, Taylor cleared her throat. Chad sighed.
"You're avoiding me." he stated.
"Why shouldn't I?" Taylor shrugged, walking down to another table. Chad followed her. "Don't you have a fiancee to be getting back to?"
" She's occupied." Chad answered simply. Taylor turned to see Shaylah stamping her feet and throwing a tantrum
"I don't CARE if it isn't possible to release 2,000 doves into the sky! I don't care HOW expensive it is! I WANT MY WEDDING TO BE PERFECT!"
Taylor snorted but stopped when Chad looked at her.
"I'd rather hang out with a friend than get involved in that mess." Chad said before Taylor held her hands up
"Whoa! We are NOT friends." Taylor exclaimed
"Is that so?" Chad smirked
"Yes!" Taylor waved her hands in frustration with a high pitched voice
Chad laughed as the went to the back of the market, behind the pillars.
"I have no idea how you could think something so ridiculous you moron!" Taylor said with still, a high pitched voice. Chad suddenly stopped, which made Taylor suppose she was to follow in pursuit. Chad turned to Taylor.
"You know, you are REALLY feisty today!" He smiled, cupping his hand under her chin lightly. "I love it."
At that moment Taylor could swear her knees turned to jello. Then Nadia came up.
"The car is packed! No thanks to you!" She beamed before pausing "Everything okay here?"
The two just nodded.
"Yeah! Whatever."
"Alright! Then let's rumble!" Nadia said ecstatically before feeling a tug on her skirt "Oh!" she looked down at a young boy.
"Excuse me? I'm lost..." He said quietly, Nadia kneeled down.
"Okay, let's take you to lost and found." She smiled, smoothing his hair.
Then he SNEEZED. Right in her FACE. (A/N: Okay, I don't know why I put that in caps. I just wanted to make it sound gross. My original plan was to have him barf on her. So, yeah. You see my point.)
Chad and Taylor cringed.
Nadia blinked, her Disney princess smile still present. She went into autopilot mode and began yanking kleenex out of her purse, picking up the small child.
"And THIS. Is why I'm waiting until I'm 30. To have children!" She breezed off.
Chad and Taylor began laughing. After calming down and wiping their eyes, Taylor pointed to her car.
"Um..." she began "I guess I'll see you later."
"Yeah." Chad nodded
About a week later, with her avoiding her ex, Taylor had received a phone call, Nadia was sick and was heading home, taking this advantage to visit her family. Taylor stepped into the elevator, a hand held the door open right as it was closing, Chad stepped in and closed the door.
"What floor is your office on?" he asked
"The Sixth..." Taylor said slowly.
Chad pushed the button. Not pushing any others. Before she could ask what he needed to be up there for, Chad spoke.
"Nadia's sick." he said
"I know, I was first to know." Taylor said cooly.
Chad pulled out a sheet of paper. "Gabi told me to give this to you."
Taylor read the paper. "WHAT?!" She screamed, Chad jumped. "SEVENTH!" She demanded, Chad fearfully pushed it. So fearfully he missed the sixth. The elevator dinged.
"You missed your floor moron! " Taylor said with a cold eye roll as the door closed. She ran, with her heels clicking the floor rapidly. She flung the doors to her best friends office open angrily. Everyone was in there for their early meetings. Calmly eating food.
"GABRIELLA! WHY WOULD YOU PUT ME ON TO PLAN CHAD'S WEDDING?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Bruh..." Peyton and Zeke began slowly, shaking their heads. "Not cool."
"I'm sorry Tay bae, I had to, we're low on staff because of this flu going around." she said sympathetically
"SCREW THE FLU!" Taylor screamed
"Stop screaming darling please!" Gabriella attempted
Taylor calmed a bit. "You know this means I have to go to the wedding right?" she said shakily
"I know... That's why I'm giving you a mega bonus...you'll be able to see your family in New York?" Gabriella reasoned
"That's not enough!" Taylor said hurt.
"Please Taylor?...For me?" Gabi pleaded
"Fine." Taylor sighed, walking to the door, not turning around. "But please don't expect me to be happy about it."
She stormed out and went to go print image ideas according to Shaylah's plan when she heard the elevator ding. Soon a tall but slim figure stood behind her, a hand went on her shoulder gently, she smacked it away furiously and stood. She didn't make eye contact and stood by the printer, arms crossed in front of her lawyer like outfit.
Chad stood with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He looked at the distraught beauty concerned. "Are you okay?" he asked gently
"Nothing." She answered as soon as 'okay' slipped out his mouth
Chad sighed "You used to tell me everything..."
"Yeah well now I don't so, yeah." she said quietly and airily, still not looking at him
There was silence for a minute or two
"Come on Taylor, what's wrong?" he asked
Taylor flipped around "What's wrong? What's wrong?! Chad you know exactly what's wrong don't be stupid!" she said grabbing her images and stalking away, her stilettos clicking angrily. She quickly went down to her office. After about 5 seconds of slumping in her chair, she heard a knock.
"Come in!" She said, composing herself, not thinking.
Chad came in, shut the door and locked it. Taylor gasped, she couldn't scream, the doors and windows were soundproof due to angry brides. Oh no oh no what was he thinking?!
"Why are you avoiding me?" Chad asked calmly. Oh.
Taylor brushed a long curly hair off of her shoulder. "You know why Chad." she sniffed "I can't tolerate you. After high school, after college, and now-" she covered her mouth quenching a sob. "Just everything!" she began crying "And I hate you! I hate you so freaking much I just can't explain it! So please just leave me alone!"
To her surprise, Chad held a smile- almost a smirk and shook his head, he sighed gently before inching closer to her. "Oh Taylor." He said in the most calming voice imaginable, he always knew that this little trick worked to calm her down. For only he could say it in such a way. He sat her up on the table, giving her a quick hug before looking down at her elegantly radiant face.
"Taylor, Taylor, Taylor..." He said playing with her hair, his face drawing closer. "You have no idea how much I've missed you."
Taylor looked up "...What?"
Chad chuckled and looked her dead in the eyes before whispering,
"I missed you Taylor McKessie." that was what she heard before his lips slammed onto hers.
