Chapter 17

The next morning, Taylor woke up to the sunlight pouring through the window. AJ came in and sat down beside her, "Morning.."

"Morning.."

"You sleep okay?"

"Yeah..did you?"

"I slept fine.," He said before leaning down and kissing her.

Taylor wrapped the sheet around her and got up. "What time is it?"

"Almost ten.."

"Ohh.."

"The others should of left by now. I'm gonna head downstairs for awhile..you be alright here?"

She nodded, "Yeah.."

"Okay..I'll be back later.."

She nodded and he left. She got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower.


Later on, Taylor was still in the room. AJ had called her earlier to say he had some things to do. She stayed around the hotel and went swimming and was now back in the room. She heard the door open and AJ walked in. "Hey..I picked up some take-out.."

"Cool.."

They sat down and ate dinner in almost complete silence.


The next couple of days went by. They shopped and went out to eat and went to a couple of clubs. Taylor thought there was something wrong..he wouldn't hold her hand or anything like he used to.

She was in the room alone, thinking, when AJ came in. "AJ?"

"Yeah?"

"Whats wrong?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean..that night..did I do something wrong? Or do I just completely repulse you? Is that why you won't touch me at all?"

"No Taylor. Why do you think that?"

She turned away from the window, "Ever since..we slept together..you won't touch me or come remotely near me..did I do something wrong???"

"No..you did nothing wrong Taylor. I've just..been sorting out some things..that night..was absolutely wonderful..it made me realize how much I really do love you.," He said taking her hands.

She smiled in relief, "I was so afraid I..I did something. I thought that maybe I..repulsed you or something.."

"No baby..you are so beautiful. I wanna ask you something.."

"What?"

He looked down at his feet, suddenly very nervous. "Willyoumarryme?," He said quickly.

"WHAT?!"

"Marry me Taylor and make me the happiest man on earth."
