"So?" Mira asked eagerly over the phone the next day.
"So, what?" Taylor teased.
"What happened last night?"
"Nothing," he laughed.
"Bullshit," she said. "Um, oh yeah, I forgot my key on purpose so could I like, sleep with you?" She impersonated Natasha.
"Whatever."
"I’m so coming over," she said before hanging up. She took her coat and left for Taylor’s.
"I’m calling Preston if you don’t tell me what happened," she said when he opened the door.
"He fucked her," Chris called from the recliner in front of the TV.
Taylor looked up at the ceiling laughing. "You guys are killing me," he said. "Okay fine, we had sex. Sue me."
"I knew it," Mira grinned.
"Yeah yeah," Mira sighed into the phone. "I owe you 20 bucks."
"Thank you Taylor Hanson," Brian laughed. "I knew he wouldn’t let me down. So how about you take that 20 bucks and buy me dinner tonight?"
"Maybe. You wanna go to the comedy club?"
"Yeah, that’s cool. You can call up Taylor."
"Alright. But I can’t stay the night," Mira told him.
"Why not?" he pouted.
"Cause Kathryn’s spending the night with me. We’re gonna do girl stuff."
"Oh I see. No bad mouthing me."
"Of course not," Mira grinned.
"You can come over and hang out if you want Taylor," Mira said as she stood with him and Kathryn outside her apartment. They were the last three dropped off at the end of the night.
"Nah, that’s okay. I’m gonna go see what Preston’s up to. But I’m glad we got to hang out. I’ll see you around Kathryn," Taylor smiled.
"I hope so," Kathryn smiled back giving a small wave.
"I’ll see you tomorrow Mira," he pointed to her. "Peace out G," he said as he headed down the street.
"Word to your mother," Mira called to him as she walked with Kathryn inside.
"Okay so can we discuss Taylor," Kathryn said. "How cute is he?"
Mira laughed and placed Madonna’s Immaculate Collection in her stereo. "Which color do you want?" She asked holding 3 different bottles of nail polish.
"Um, that silver one."
"Okay," Mira sat down on her bed across from Kathryn. "How about we not discuss Taylor and his cuteness since you have a boyfriend."
"Who Michael? Yeah, that’s a big no in my book. He hasn’t called me in like 2 weeks."
"Oh that’s crap," Mira said as she took Kathryn’s hands out of the bowl of soapy water and dried them off. "Why not?"
"Cause he’s an asshole. It doesn’t matter, we only went on like 3 dates."
"Ah, I see," Mira said as she began to file Kathryn’s nails. "Well then yes, Taylor is very cute."
"I know," she smiled. "So tell me about him. Is he a good kisser? I bet he is."
"Oh God," Mira laughed. "I haven’t kissed him in like 3 years, but I definitely remember that he’s a good kisser."
"But not as good as Brian."
"Of course not," Mira smiled.
"Did you guys ever have sex?" She asked.
"No," Mira said. "But we came close," she laughed. "God it seems like forever ago."
"I bet he’s good in bed," Kathryn nodded.
"What makes you think so?" Mira asked pushing Kathryn’s cuticles back.
"I don’t know. There’s something about him. He’s the kinda guy you’d cheat on your husband with."
"What?" Mira laughed.
"Yeah. You’d like, sneak in his window at night and just have crazy, wild sex with him until morning. And you leave him lying there covered by a sheet with his blonde hair all messy while he sleeps."
"Okay, you’ve done some thinking."
"I mean, you know I think Brian’s fucking gorgeous. But Taylor’s the new guy so someone needs to snatch him up," she said while Mira applied clear nail polish to her nails.
"He already has a girlfriend, remember?"
"Oh yeah, that bitch," Kathryn said.
"Nice," Mira laughed. "So basically you just wanna have sex with him?"
"That’d be nice. I wanna take that hair in my fingers and be like ‘Fuck me baby’."
"Oh Kathryn," Mira laughed. "You go for it. It’d be funny if he was standing right outside our door.
"So tell me about Mira," Preston said getting him and Taylor a beer from the fridge.
"What do you wanna know? You guys have hung out."
"She has a boyfriend, right?"
"Mm hmm," Taylor nodded swallowing his sip of beer.
"Yeah, she’s hot. I don’t know, I just think she’s cool. So did you guys ever have sex?"
"Nope," Taylor shook his head.
"I bet she looks good naked," Preston said getting up from the table to find food.
"I can vouch for that," Taylor laughed.
"Oh yeah?" Preston smiled.
"Yeah, it’s like whenver we hang out, which is like everyday, every now and then it’ll pop into my head, ‘Okay, I’ve seen you naked. I’ve seen you naked many times.’ And I’m like ‘Ahh, stop.’" He laughed.
"So what are you and Brian doing for Valentine’s Day?" Kathryn asked while her nails dried.
"I have no no idea," Mira shrugged. "He said he has it all planned out. But I told him not to make a big deal cause I hate Valentine’s Day."
"Whatcha doin?" Mira appeared in the doorway of Taylor’s bedroom.
The only source of light was his computer which he sat in front of wearing only
his boxer shorts.
"Typing a paper that’s due in like, 5 hours," he said with his eyes fixed on the screen.
Mira walked over to his desk and rolled his chair back away from his computer. "You know what we could do with 5 hours?" She asked as she straddled his lap facing him in his chair. His eyes gazed up to her face as her wet hair hung around him dripping onto Taylor’s chest. She leaned down and gently licked his neck with the tip of her tongue before her lips covered it with wet kisses.
"But," Taylor started. "I need to finish this," he whispered.
"Shhh," Mira hushed him kissing his lips. Taylor sat helplessly beneath her as she tugged on his lips with hers and massaged his tongue hers. His hands went around her back and pulled her hips closer to him.
Mira rolled over and opened her eyes to her dark bedroom. Kathryn laid beside her sound asleep. Mira sat up and rubbed her eyes trying to get the image of her dream out of her mind.
