Chapter 16
For the next couple of days, LizBeth kept getting calls from Taylor. But still wasn't ready to talk to him. So she told Johnny not to give her the phone if it were Taylor. So since Taylor saw that she wasn't returning his phone calls, he decided to pay her a visit. Fortunately for him and UNfortunately for her LizBeth answered the door. When she did so, she had a smile on her face. She was babysitting her sister, and they were playing Nintendo 64.
"Oh, It's you," LizBeth said with a harsh voice. She didn't even open the door al the way.
"Yeah, well, it's nice to see you too."
"You can't expect me to exactly welcome you with open arms you know," all of a sudden it hit her, she hadn't given any of the Hanson's her address, so how would he know where she lived?
"Who gave you my address?"
"I got it from Zac. Sparkle gave it to him when he was over here and came to visit her."
"Well if you're looking for Sparkle, she's not here, she's at her own house." LizBeth said beginning to close the door.
"No wait, I want to talk to you," Taylor said holding the door.
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever." LizBeth said turning around, and leaving the door open for Taylor.
"Evalyn go upstairs and play in your room, or go play with Johnny."Evalyn did as she was told. Taylor sat down on the huge cream-colored couch. He watched LizBeth put away the nintendo. She was wearing a tight spaghetti-strap shirt that was blue lime green shirt, some boot cut jeans with some adidas. She looked so beautiful at that time. When she was done, she sat on the big chair that rocked. She looked at Taylor,
"So talk..."
"Oh, well, I wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry about how I acted at my house. I was pretty stupid. And I wanted to tell you that I really like you." The way Taylor was saying this, LizBeth couldnt tell if he meant it or not.
"Yeah, right, whatever," LizBeth replied. She didn't know what else to say.
"Excuse me?"
"C'mon Taylor. You know and I know the only reason you become the least bit interested in me, is because Sparkle's with Zac now. And don't tell me that's not true because you know it is. Because what happened at your house proved that to me. Taylor, yes, I did like you, but I dont anymore. Not like that..Not the way I like Isaac." LizBeth said. Taylor knew what she was saying was true. But it was also true, that he like LizBeth. And the fact that once again, a girl liked one of his brothers instead of him, bothered him.
"Look your right, I do like Sparkle, but I also like you. When you told me that you used to like me, I was shocked. I thought you like Zac too. But I did like you," Now Taylor just sounded like he just wanted LizBeth to be with LizBeth.
"Listen, I understand what you're saying, but if you like me, it was for my body, because all you said to me at your house was 'hi'. Oh yeah, you really got to know me. taylor, you hardly know me. How could you like me? You dont even know anything about me.I'm sorry but thats not good enough. So, if thats all you wanted to say, can you please go, because I have a lot to do before my dad gets home." LizBeth said as she got up. Taylor did the same and stopped in front of her, putting his arms around her. She looked up into his eyes, and fell into a gaze. Taylor slowly moved his lips towards her.
"Taylor, what are you doing?"
"This" Taylor said as he kissed her. LizBeth returned the gester. Taylor began moving both of them towards the couch. First he sat her down, and not once did they stop kissing. Then he slowly laid her down, until finally the were both laying on the couch. LizBeth was under Taylor, with her arms around his neck. Slowly Taylor moved his hands down to her pants and reached for her top button. When he did this, LizBeth thought about Isaac, and Eric. And about how Taylor treated her. She was suddenly ver uncomfortable, and couldn't go through it.
"Taylor, stop."
"What?"
"Stop. Just stop. Get off of me,"
"Oh, c'mon LizBeth. You know you want this. You know you still like me, otherwise, you wouldn't have gone this far."
"Taylor please, just leave. I may still like you, but I like your brother a lot more, so please, just leave,"
As Taylor opened the door, he saw Isaac standing at the door. He had heard the whole conversation, and knew exactly what was going on. Taylor and LizBeth just stood there like statues. They tried to speak but couldn't.
"Isaac..."began LizBeth.
"No, just don't say anything," he replied as he left. Taylor looked at LizBeth. Her look was telling him to leave. So he did. She closed the door, and leaned up against it. She was so confused.
"I gotta tell Sparkle," she said to herself. So she ran upstairs and called her.
