Chapter 23

“OH! I love this song!” Carolyn said as the ‘Silent Night Medley’ came on.

“May I have this dance?” Ike asked.

“Of course,” Carolyn said wrapping her arms around his neck.

“Tay? Wanna dance?” Jen asked.

“Sure,” He said putting his hands around her waist.

“Oh Brandon- let’s dance!” Lindsay said getting closer to him.

“ZAC! Dance with me!” Claire said pushing herself up against him.

“I’ll get you next time,” I mouthed to him.

“Hey…umm…Ashly…do you…umm…” Chris just couldn’t ask me to dance.

“Come on Chris,” I said putting my arms around him.

“Oh Eve my darling- DANCE WITH ME!” Jace laughed taking Eve’s hand.

Claire was resting her head on Zac’s shoulder- they couldn’t have gotten any closer. Mike was running around slipping all of the guys hands on the girl’s butts while everyone kicked him away.

When the song ended Taylor led Jen out to there snow covered back porch.

“It’s so cold out here,” Jen laughed.

“THIS should help,” Taylor said wrapping his arms around her from the back.

“I really missed you…” Jen said.

“I missed you too,” Taylor said.

“So why did you bring me out here?” Jen asked looking out into the snow covered darkness of the night.

“Well, I wanted to talk to you about something,” Tay replied.

“Okay…” Jen said waiting for his next statement.

“Since my mom is pregnant,” Taylor started.

“She is?! Oh my God! That’s so great!” She said hugging him but Taylor didn’t let go of her. Their eyes met and he continued to speak with her in his arms.

“So her and the little ones aren’t going on our next tour- so my dad said we could each bring someone, I want YOU to come with me,” Taylor said.

“Tay…I- I would love to!” She said hugging him.

“I was hoping you would say that…” He whispered embracing her.

“So who else is going?” Jen asked quietly.

“I wish just us…” Taylor’s blue eyes looked deeply into her as there faces slowly came towards each other and their lips ever so gently touched. Taylor was ready to pull back.

“Just enjoy the moment…” Jen said kissing him again.
