Disclaimer: I do not own Taylor Lautner, however my friend owns this story.
Authors Note: Hey guys sorry the looooong wait, my friend and I have been super busy with school, its our last year so we're busy with assignments and exams.
But we're back on holidays so I'm trying to squeeze as much as I can out of her :P
You may have noticed that this is Chapter 2, it is no mistake, my friend just re-wrote it because it goes along with her whole plot, to which i have no clue about.
I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did, and please review, I'd love to know what you think and it'll encourage my friend to continue ;)
Chapter 2: The Date
As I stepped into the restaurant, I immediately spotted Julia and her brother David sitting by the balcony.
"God took you long enough!" Julia complained.
"Sorry, I got a bit caught up." I replied
"Well you sure took your time didn't you? Anyway, let's order I'm starving!" she continued.
I ended up ordering the calamari, I couldn't help but think about Taylor the whole time. I knew Julia was beginning to suspect something.
"So are you?" Julia's question suddenly dropped me from my thoughts.
"Am I what?" I quickly responded.
"Coming tonight?" She just stared at me as I gathered my thoughts together.
"Umm, I'm not feeling too good actually; you guys go on without me." I tried to sound as convincingly sick as possible.
"Well your loss then, but take bucket loads of medicine, I don't want you missing out on the whole trip." She said thoughtfully.
I was beginning to feel guilty about not telling her what had just happened earlier on, but I will tell her... just not yet.
We all split the bill and parted ways as Julia and David took a taxi to some studio, whilst I took a separate taxi back to the hotel. No bloody way I'd walk back! I thought to myself. I will admit my excitement grew as the taxi drove, but there's no telling if he would really call me back. After all he is a famous celebrity who probably has way more to do than annoy a 17 year old girl from Australia.
Once I had reached the hotel, I checked at the front desk to see if there were any calls or messages left for me.
"Sorry, no messages left for that room number. But we will notify you if there is." A girl named Sarah at the front desk replied to me.
Disappointed, my excitement extinguished and I continued my way to the elevator. Even though I knew the chances of him calling was slim, I couldn't help but feel a little bit sad.
Suddenly "I'm Crazy for you and just like a fool there's no way I can stop stop stop my desire" My v-factory ringtone went off.
"Hello?" I answered
"Guess who" A cheeky voice replied and my heart collapsed. But of course I didn't want to give any signs that I was waiting for him to call, so I had to act cool about it.
"Who?" I asked, hoping this would annoy him.
"Hasn't even been 3 hours and you've already forgotten!" I smiled, not only at his response but at the fact that he was keeping time.
"I hope you haven't made any plans... because you'd have to cancel them anyway!"
"So where are you planning to take me?" I asked
"Secret." Even though I couldn't see him, I could tell he had a giant cheeky grin on his face because he knew this answer would annoy me- he was right, it did.
"Well I'm afraid if you don't tell me then I can't go." I replied
"Well I'm afraid, I don't care and you're going" I could still picture that annoying grin on his face... bastard.
"But I will tell you this... Don't dress pretty, dress as though you're prepared for a workout." He continued.
"Hmm, sounds romantic." I added sarcastically.
"I thought so too!" He laughed.
"Anyway, get ready! I'm coming to get you in about half an hour." He said quickly and hung up, which was deliberately done quickly so I wouldn't have time to object.
I rushed back to my hotel room and searched through my suitcase. I was a bit disappointed that he had asked me not to dress up, how the hell am I supposed to 'woo' him if I'm dressed like a bum. So I grab one of my nicest purple tank tops, black running shorts and my white Nike shox shoes; luckily for him, I'm actually into sports so I have plenty of workout gear. I tied my hair up in a ponytail but left out some of the shorter hairs to give it the messy but sexy look. I look at the clock to see it was 5 to 6. Shit! I thought to myself. That last 5 minutes was a blur, but I had luckily managed to get my shit together. Just as I put the finishing touches and sprayed a little perfume on me, there was a knock on the door.
I breathed deeply and opened the door. Standing there in my hotel room doorway was Taylor smiling, dressed in a black singlet and basketball shorts.
It took me a minute to realize he had the same expression I had as we both looked at each other, I couldn't help but blush and I guess he couldn't help it either.
He shook himself out of his daze and finally said, "Let's get going!" and smiled.
It was awkward inside of the elevator; as the elevators are small so we were practically inches apart with random elevator music playing. It was intimidating having him this close to me, I could hear him breathe. After the awkward elevator trip it was nice to get a bigger personal space, but don't get me wrong, it was nice being that close to him.
We walk out of the hotel doors to a beautiful black limousine waiting for us outside. My jaw dropped and I turned my head to him.
He just shrugged and said, "Perks of being famous."
We got into the limo and attempted to find out where we're going. "So where are we heading to?"
"You're not good with surprises are you?" He laughed. "Well we're almost there, can you hold it in for a couple more minutes" He smiled.
I rolled my eyes.
The limo came to a halt and he forced me to put a blindfold on.
"Is this really necessary?" I asked with the blind on.
"No, its just fun" I could hear him chuckle. He led me out the limo and we started walking into some building. We were walking for about less than a minute when we stopped.
Slowly he took my blind fold off and my jaw dropped as I saw what was in front of me.
There was a beautifully laid out table with roses and candles in the middle of a giant basketball stadium.
"Surprise" Taylor said behind me.
"Isn't this a bit much?" I asked
"Well you only get one chance to 'woo' a girl, and I figured what the heck, might as well go all out." He smiled
"I honestly don't know what to say... I'm completely speechless. But I don't understand why I had to be dressed like this?" I asked
"Well you see I figured seeing as we don't really know each other. We'd play a little one on one game. If I scored then you'd have to tell me something about you and if you scored I'd tell you something about myself."
"That's unfair, everything about you is already in magazines, how do I know you wont tell me something already posted in magazines?" I asked
His face flashed surprise, but a bit of cheekiness too, "You read about me in magazines?" He asked smiling.
"No..." I replied shyly. "I just meant the information I give you is much harder to find out than the information you give me."
"Well I promise to tell you only things my friends and family would know."
"Pinkie promise?" I held out my pinkie
He smiled again and held out his pinky. We held our pinkies together and quickly shook it, both smirking at one another.
The scoreboard went off, and Taylor was getting ready for a shot. He clearly underestimated my basketball abilities as he tried to shoot but was blocked by me.
"Hope you didn't think it would be that easy!" I smirked. This guy doesn't know what's coming.
As I aim for the perfect shot, I quickly shoot, but the ball never made it to the hoop. Instead it ended up in Taylor's hands.
"I hope you didn't either." He smirked back.
For 10 minutes, it was an intense match of us taking the ball from each other, neither one of us could get a shot through the hoop.
"Didn't think you'd be so determined" I said, heavily breathing.
"Well what can I say; when I want something I get it." He replied, also heavily breathing.
The ongoing ball-steal continued for another 3 minutes until I finally got a shot through the hoop. I must say this was one of the most proudest moments of my life.
"Ha! Go on, fess up!" I laughed in victory, breathing like crazy. "And give me something no one would ever know about you."
"Alright, don't laugh but...I still keep my bear, Bruce, from when I was a kid. He's the only part of my childhood that's been the hardest to let go of."
I "awed" inside, this was probably the cutest thing I have ever heard. I could tell he was blushing from embarrassment as he took the ball from my hands and began playing again.
"That was a lucky shot" He smirked, looking much more determined now.
The game continued for another 10 minutes, and after lots of heavy breathing we were both getting tired. I lastly managed to grab the ball from him and I put all my energy in this last shot, but was suddenly put to a halt as I felt arms grab around my waist. He suddenly swung me aside as he tried to grab the ball, but instead we found our faces inches apart. We both stood there breathing heavily as we stood so close, his arms around me. I couldn't feel my legs and it was as though butterflies were exploding inside of me. The only thing separating us was the ball. We both snapped out of our stare and immediately blushed.
He suddenly let go and said. "Okay, I give up. You're too good for me." He smiled as he passed out onto the floor.
We both got cleaned up and sat at the table, it was so beautifully arranged. Underneath the shiny silver dome shaped plate was pizza, both hungry we immediately dug in.
"That's no fair, you got a question out of me but I didn't get one from you." He frowned.
"Well those were your rules." I teased. "Next time, don't judge a book by its cover. I'm not like most girls"
"I'm counting on that," he smirked. "but please, at least give me something." He had puppy dog eyes as he begged. How ironic considering he was a wolf in the twilight films.
"Fine... I—" "CRAZY FOR YOU AND JUST LIKE A FOOL THERES NO WAY I CAN STOP STOP..."
I look down to find my phone ringing.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey its Julia, were coming back now, see you soon!" SHIT! I quickly grab my stuff and run towards the door.
Taylor ran after me yelling "wait!"
I quickly turn and say, "I'm so sorry I had a great time but I really have to go! Bye!" I ran off and got to the closest taxi and headed towards the hotel.
I tipped the taxi driver a bit extra for getting me there on time. Luckily made it before Julia and her brother did.
"Hey are you feeling better?" She asked
"Yep, I'm gonna go to sleep now. See you in the morning." I replied.
I took a quick shower and hopped into bed. As I switch off the lamp my message tone goes off
I open up my phone to find a message from Taylor waiting for me.
Hope you don't think I'm gonna let you get away that easily.
You still owe me an answer.
