We stared. There was an unbelievable pureness in Taylor's eyes, and a smile played on his lips.
I glanced over at Ike and Jenn, who had begun to walk off together. I watched as Ike reached for Jenn's hand, and I knew that she was smiling to herself.
I turned my attention back to Taylor, who had also been watching them.
"Hi." I didn't know what else to say.
"Hi," he said in turn, then shoved his hands in his pocket and gave me a cute shy smile.
I tried to think of something to say. "So um...where's Zac?"
"He's with my mom and dad driving around in the car. It's been a while since we've been here, so they wanted to look around."
I was somewhat surprised....for some reason it seemed strange to me that Zac wasn't there. There were three brothers-- Hanson was a package deal. If there was one, there were always two more. All or nothing. But they're normal....regular brothers don't go everywhere together....I realized how stupid that thought really was.
"Okay," I began, "uh....do you want to just walk around or something?" I silently hoped that he would say yes.
Instead of answering, Taylor surprised me with a tender kiss.
But before I could really get into it, he said, "I'm so sorry...it's just, well...nevermind."
"No, no, it's okay, really, " I explained, and leaned forward, lightly kissing his lips. "Now do you want to take a walk?" I asked.
"Why not?" he responded with a grin, as he took my hand.
**********************************************************
After walking around for a while, Ike dropped my hand to face me. I leaned against the wall, and he looked deep into my eyes.
Isaac leaned forward, and I closed my eyes just in time to feel the light touch of his lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he pulled me closer to him. He parted his lips slightly, allowing just enough room for my tongue to find it's way inside.
We kissed passionately, both of us never wanting it to end. I leaned back harder against the wall, which turned out to be a door. It opened, and still kissing, we went through it, and into a bathroom. Ike clicked the lock behind us, and we found our way to a couch near a row of sinks.
Lying down soundlessly, Ike came on top of me, and I buried my face in his hair, as his lips moved up and down my neck.
Suddenly, he pulled away. I sat up, wondering what was wrong. "Ike....why'd you stop? Is something wrong?"
"No...it's nothing, it's just that I got so carried away, since it's been so long since I was with a girl like this, being on tour for so long...you know. And I'm sorry that I came on too strong." He ran his fingers through his hair and looked very sorry.
"Well, then," I said, overcome with a sudden urge to kiss him, "since you were on tour for so long, we'll just have to make up for lost time."
I pulled him down towards me, and he kissed me fiercely. Just as he placed his hand beneath my shirt, there was a banging on the door.
"Hey Ike! Jenn! Are you guys in there?" Both of us jumped up and unlocked the door with guilty looks plastered on our faces. Tay and Alex gave us knowing smiles. Ike was the first to speak up.
"So, would you two like to be our dates to our appearance at Planet Hollywood tonight?"
"Of course!" we replied, and Ike hugged me to him. I turned my head to look at Taylor and Alexandra, who seemed to be going at it pretty well, oblivious to us. Tay looked up, and they both parted and blushed quickly.
