Chapter 3: Misguided Assumptions

As soon I parked the car in her massive driveway she got out and went into the house. I followed her; picking up my bags as I locked the door behind me. "Follow me and I'll show you the room you'll be staying in." She headed up the stairs and I went behind her. She stopped at the first door. "That one," she said pointing to the door next to the one she was standing "is your sister's room. The one next to Kris' is my brother's whenever he is here. The one at the end of the hall is the guest room. You either sleep there or with your sister. The bathroom is across the hall and in the basement. Any questions?" I shook my head. She smiled, nodded, and disappeared into the room behind her.

I placed my bags in the guest room and went to explore the rest of the house. It was amazing. I found my way to the living room, sat on the couch and watched TV till I heard the door open.

"Down here all by yourself?" my sister asked wrapping her arms around my neck from behind.

"Yeah. Taylor's in her room." My sister jumped over the back of the couch and sat next to me. "Why? What did you say to her?" I frowned, "Nothing actually, what did you say o her?" she nodded, picking up on what I was trying to say. "Why don't you just ask her out?" I shook my head, "What if she says no?" my sister got up from the couch, "And what if she says yes? Just do it dude."

A couple hours later Taylor came into the living room and sat on the couch next to me. She was in her pajamas; a boxer shorts and a SpongeBob t-shirt. "You've been hidden a while." I said. She turned and smiled at me. "Uhh yeah, it's this new technology, I don't know what you call it but we humans call it sleeping. You should try it sometime." I laughed "Sarcasm, nice. So… ahh Taylor, I was thinking, I saw a carnival when we were driving home earlier today, you want to check it out?" she shrugged "Yeah we could." I smiled, that was pretty easy. "How about tomorrow, round 8?" she nodded "I could do that." She picked up the remote and flicked through the channels, settling for a replay of Raw from Monday. I watched her closely as my segment came up. If she was a fan of mine she sure could hide it.

My sister came in holding a DVD. "Can we?" she asked. Taylor squinted her eyes, trying to read the cover, "Secrets from Her Past? Seriously? You're going to make us suffer through a Lifetime movie? I'd rather take my eyes out and eat them." I laughed.

"Do you hate Lifetime movies that much?"

"With every fiber of my being"

My sister pouted. "Well we're going to watch it anyway." She said putting it in and hitting play.

"Ugh! This is going to be the worst 2 hours of my life," Taylor said looking up, "just take me now I don't want to suffer." I laughed. I found myself doing that frequently around her. "So, what kind of movies do you like?" I asked her as the intros for the movie played across the screen.

"Mostly action, comedy, horror and adventure. Romance is 'kill joy' kinda movie."

"Yeah! I know right. I'm just glad that I won't be the only one suffering through this."

She smiled "Me? Suffer through this?" se held up her iPhone, "I have Twitter. I don't about you but I am not going to suffer through this."

"Will you guys shut up?"

"Why should we Kris? You've seen this movie like a million times already. I don't see why you should put Phil and I through this."

"Pssht… I haven't watched it like fifteen times." Taylor shrugged, "Same difference."

Taylor and I sat on the couch while my sister sat on the floor and literally talked the entire movie. I heard Taylor sigh next to me and I laughed to myself. This was going to be a long 2 hours.

"Finally!" Taylor said walking to the DVD player and taking out Secrets from Her Past and putting in another. Before hitting play she went into the kitchen. When she came out she had a big bowl of pop corn in her hand. She sat down next to me and hit play.

"But I don't want to watch the Hangover movies." My sister whined looking up at Taylor. "We had to suffer through some Lifetime crap. It's only fair if you let us watch something we'd actually be interested in." I said in Taylor's defense. "Good choice by the way."

She smiled and offered me some popcorn. "I know!" she said mimicking Monica from Friends, "I have good taste."

After about four hours of laughing Taylor got up and stretched. "I'm going to bed, see you in the morning guys." She playfully kicked my sister who was sleeping on the floor. "Nite Krista, love you." She bent down and gave my sister a kiss on the cheek.

"What? So I don't get one?" I teased her. "Nope. I don't know you like that." She turned and headed up the stairs. The sound of her door shutting brought me back to my senses. Was she teasing me or was she serious?

"TAYLOR! You've got Phil her waiting for you!" my sister turned and wined at me. "Just don't do anything gross or stupid or you might ruin you chances with her."

"You don't even know if she likes me."

"Hence I said 'chances' just don't blow it!"

"I'm ready. Unless you want to stay here and kill each other." Taylor was at the bottom of the stairs in a pair of khaki shorts a red 'Bazinga' top and red converse.

"Let's get out of here. You look nice by the way."

"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." We chatted about normal stuff on our walk to the carnival. When we arrived we went on every ride then went back on the cooler ones.

When we got stuck at the top of the Ferris Wheel I turned to her, "How 'bout a picture?"

"Sure, why not." I took out my iPhone and reduced the distance between us. I tilted my phone and leaned my head to hers. "Ready?" I asked

"Yeah." I flashed the camera and almost blinded my self. I studied the photo. "It looks fine you know, it's not going up for an exhibition."

"I know but just to be on the safe side lets take another one." I tilted my phone again. "Ready?"

She turned and kissed my cheek as the camera flashed. I looked at the picture on my phone. "Don't look so freaked out. I was just being original." She said as the Ferris Wheel began to move.

"Umm I wasn't freaking out. I was just caught off guard."

"I see. It's getting late. We should go. I've got a lot to do tomorrow." We started walking home, the cold breeze hitting our faces. Taylor shivered and I took off my hoodie and handed it to her. She took it and placed it on.

"You know, about what my sister said yesterday. It's kinda true."

"What did you sister say yesterday?" she asked, forcing me to say it.

"It's true that I like you."

"Like the kid you have for friends?" she was teasing me now.

"No. Like the kind you have for a potential girlfriend." By this time we were standing on her porch. "I don't expect you to feel the same way. I just wanted to get it off my chest,"

"I understand where you're coming from." she said leaning in and planting a kiss on my cheek. She opened the door and turned to face me. "Good night Phil." she said with a knowing look on her face then she turned and disappeared into the house. "Good night Taylor." I whispered.

I woke up to a bunch of screaming and noise. I got up and walked over to the window and looked outside. I could see the driveway; I could see Taylor leaning against a strange car. I could see a tall dude walking up to her and hugging her tightly. I could see him kissing her forehead and playing with her hair. I saw them get in the car and drive off. I went back to sit on the bed. So she had a boyfriend. With what happened lat night I thought she liked me too. She was just trying to be nice. "This is gonna be awkward." I said to myself.

AN: End of Chapter 3. Tell me what you think. Please review. BTW if you could guess who Taylor rode off with you'll get a shout out before my next chapter. Thanks for reading.
