The guys still had 20 minutes left for their break, so Taylor took my hand and brought me into a dark, abandoned vacant room.
"Now we can be alone," he said smiling and leaning down to kiss me. I let him slip his tongue into my mouth, and I returned his kiss.
He brushed his fingertips down my back, and I ran my fingers through his hair. Taylor gently pushed me down onto a dusty mattress in the corner, which was the only thing in the room besides us. I could hardly see a thing.
I felt his hand slip up my shirt, then to the back of my bra. He undid the clasp on my bra, carefully pulling it off. He pulled his shirt over his head, and I slipped my hand down his pants and felt the outside of his boxers. Taylor moaned loudly, kissing me deeply.
I pulled away from him, whispering "Taylor, what if somebody comes in and sees us?"
"Don't worry, nobody will come in," he said, then added "now where were we?" as he began kissing me again.
The door opened and we froze. "Don't move," Taylor whispered, "maybe they won't see us."
"Are they in here?" a man's voice said.
"No, I don't think so, let's go try another room, maybe they'll be in there," someone else said.
The door closed. "Whoa, that was a close one," I said, and Taylor let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Okay," he said, "We're going to have to come out of here one at a time, and look inconspicuous. You go first."
"All right," I said, putting my bra back on. I stood up, kissed Taylor on the cheek, and stepped out of the room, shutting the door behind me.
I walked back to the photo shoot slowly. Someone's arms wrapped around me and kissed me lightly on the cheek. I giggled, leaning up and kissing him, but it didn't feel like Taylor's kiss. The hallway was so dark that I had thought that it was Taylor.
"Wait a minute, you're not Jen," the voice said.
"And you're not Taylor!" I said, shocked. It was Ike.
"Oh no!" he said. "What have we done?" I said near to tears.
"Whatever you do, don't tell Taylor or Jen about this, we'll just forget this ever happened okay?"
"Of course!" I agreed, feeling more and more guilty by the second. Ike turned away and practically ran back to the photo area. I can't believe what just happened.
Did I enjoy the kiss? I thought to myself, No! I loved Taylor, and nothing could change that. But still...no...I did not like it, because it was just a mistake. I headed back to the photo area and sat next to Jen.
We watched Ike, Tay, and Zac pose for the photos. When they finished, we left the studio and went back to the van. Zac talked non-stop about Allison the whole way, and how he is going to ask her out the second he sees her.
When we finally reached the hotel, I still couldn't make eye contact with Ike. What? I thought, it's not like we saw eachother naked or anything, so what's the big deal? I feel bad lying to Taylor, but I can't tell him about what happened. I love Taylor, I love kissing Taylor. Not Ike. Definately not Ike. As we walked into the lobby, Zac spotted Allison waiting for him.
He ran to her, whispered something into her ear, and nodded yes, and he kissed her on the cheek. They held hands the whole way up to the room. I thought about how sweet that was.
Taylor told me to shut my eyes, and I felt him leading me somewhere. "Okay," he said,"open your eyes."
I opened them to find a pitch black sky lit with bright stars and the moon. Taylor wrapped his arms around me and we gazed into the sky together. I tilted my head so that he could kiss me.
When we parted, I smiled. "Oh Taylor, isn't the sky so beautiful tonight?" I asked.
"Not half as beautiful as you," he said, blushing.
"What a sweet thing to say, thank you," I said pleased. "I wish..." I continued, "I wish that we could just fly away right now, together, alone in the stars, without any obsessed fans or reporters so we wouldn't have to worry about them seeing us."
"Me too," he whispered,"but you know what else?"
"What?" I asked, curiously. "I love you and I always will. Sometimes there'll be distance between us, but I'll never stop thinking about you, and I'll never stop loving you."
"Oh Taylor," I said, turning to face him, "I love you too." We kissed in the moonlight. We walked inside to find an empty room and a note.
It said: Taylor- we all went to eat downstairs, -Zac.
Taylor and I lay down on the bed, side by side, and he put his arms around me. I rolled over to face him, staring into his crystal blue eyes. I traced his face with my fingertip, making a mental picture of his face, the face that I would never forget.
Never.
