Kevin woke up laying down on a king-size bed with his shirt off hands tied to the bedposts. He had no idea why he was in this awkward position, and he remembered nothing like this happening the night before. All of a sudden, a slim figure dressed in a white nightgown came from the doorway at a distance. She looked like an angel. As the figure came closer, Kevin found out that it was Taylor. He had a lot of questions for this girl, but before he could get anything out of his mouth, she jumped up on top of him and started kissing his face. He yelled for her to stop, but she continued, not acknowledging his words.
All of a sudden, Kevin woke up again, and he was sprawled out in a strange position on the living room floor in Frank McKever's house, with a Rottweiler licking his face. Kevin grunted, pushed the dog away from his face and went back to sleep.
A short while later, Kevin was awaken again by a car pulling into the garage. Sarah McKever, Frank's sister was just coming home at 6:47 am on Saturday morning from an obviously long Friday night. Sarah revved up her red Mitsubishi Eclipse a little, then stopped the engine and came out of the car. She reached for the house keys in an ice tray inside the freezer in the garage and opened the door. She walked in and saw Kevin sprawled out on the floor, with her dog laying down next to him. She stood there, with the front her medium-length blond hair pulled back behind her ears and the rest of it let down in long waves. She was wearing slim-fit jeans, and a dark navy blue shirt with the buttons opened up, showing her small white top underneath. Kevin lay down in the middle of the floor and Sarah stood next to the doorway to the garage and looked at each other for a while, wondering about each other.
"What happened to you last night?", they both said, in uni-sync.
Sarah sighed, Kevin grunted, and they both said "ah...never mind", also simultaneously.
Then, Frank came out of his bedroom, into the living room, and asked them enthusiastically:
"Looking forward to the party today?"
Frank then took a while to pause and observe the scene. After thinking for a brief period of time, he asked:
"What happened to you guys last night?"
Sarah sighed and Kevin grunted, both in frustration, then Sarah walked away, toward her room, and Kevin covered his face with a pillow. Frank simply shrugged his shoulders and wondered "what's up with them?".
Later that morning, Frank was on the phone reminding his friends of the party to be held later that day. Frank flipped through his little black book and found Taylor Morrison's phone number. He dialed the number:
*phone rings*
"Hello?", a young girl answers.
"Yeah, is this Taylor?"
"No, who's this?"
"Frank McKever. Is this Stephanie?"
"Yeah. Hey, Frank, how are you doing?", Taylor's sister Stephanie asked shyly.
"I'm doing pretty good", Frank said, smiling. "How 'bout you?"
"I'm fine", Stephanie answered shyly.
Frank thought about her words for a while. 'You sure are', he wanted to say, but he was afraid it would sound stupid. Frank really liked Stephanie. Compared to all the other girls he had been with, Stephanie would be like a return to innocence. She was so nice and sweet. If she were Frank's girlfriend, he would have a reason to look forward to every day of his life. Stephanie was the kind of girl that Frank would never be angry at, and he could trust her with his life.
"So, are you coming to the party at my house?", Frank asked.
Stephanie thought about it, then smiled. "Yeah. I'll be there."
Frank sighed in relief, then smiled, feeling good about himself. Deep in his mind, part of the reason he wanted to have this party was to get laid. He liked Stephanie so much, and he wanted to show her just exactly what he had to offer.
Sarah walked into the kitchen where Frank was, and she saw the smile on his face. She passed by him and went to the refrigirator.
"Why do you have that dumb smile on your face, Frank? You look like you're about to get laid or something", Sarah said while she was inspecting the food inside the fridge.
Frank gave no reply and Sarah walked off with a can of coke.
Later that night, cars began to pile up in front of the house, and teenagers began to walk in. Inside the house, rap music was being played and a few kids were searching the house for cigarettes, while the rest were sitting around talking. Vanessa, Kevin's step-sister, walked into the house and Sarah informed everyone:
"Hey, everyone, it's the birthday girl!"
Vanessa smiled at everyone, with her cheeks turning slightly red.
"I like your hair cut. It looks pretty!", Sarah told Vanessa, smiling and looking at her new Jennifer Anniston-style hair that now had brown streaks in it among the rest of the balck hair.
"Thank you", Vanessa replied to Sarah.
"So, what's it feel like to be 17?", Vanessa's step-brother Kevin asked her.
The whole crowd pauses as they think of what new privileges gained at age 17. Crickets chirp in the background.
"I think they'll let you rent porno movies at the video store now", Frank said from the middle of the crowd.
Sarah then slaps Frank over the head for making that stupid comment, and then the party continued. Kevin lifted up Vanessa's wrist and observed Vanessa's new diamond necklace.
"Where'd you get this? Is it a gift from Fashion Island or somehting?", Kevin asked as he fixed his eyes upon the shiny object.
"Oh. My dad gave it to me", Vanessa answered. "He owns a jewelry store back in New York, I hope he doesn't think I'm impressed."
Kevin looked at his step-sister with sympathy. Vanessa continued, "If he really wants to impress me, why doesn't he come over here to give it to me himself?"
"Isn't he supposed to come visit during Hanukkah or something?", Kevin asked her in a concerned and sympathetic tone.
"That's what he said", Vanessa answered. "Last time he said he'd come, I spent 45 minutes at the airport waiting for him...only to find out that he had never left New York.", she continued angrily.
Kevin then gave Vanessa a hug, hoping for her not to cry. She then soon forgot all about it and told her new brother, "Thanks".
A short while later, 2Pac's song "How Do U Want It" plays on the stereo and Vince follows his urge to get up on the coffee table and dance. Taylor walks up to him and slips a $10 bill in his pants and dances along with him a little, only not on top of the table. Vanessa approaches Vince and asks him why he is acting so stupid.
"I think I had a little too much to drink.", Vince replies.
Vanessa picks up an empty beer bottle and says to Vince, "This is non-alcoholic beer."
Vince stops, looks at Vanessa for a while, and climbs down from the table and walks away, feeling embarrassed. Taylor also stops dancing then starts talking with Vanessa. Kevin spots them from across the room, then the events of last night flash before his eyes.
'Oh, God, I have to talk to Vanessa about what happened to me last night', Kevin thought.
Right when Taylor smiled at Vanessa and walked away, Kevin approached Vanessa.
"Did she tell you about last night?", Kevin asked his sister.
Vanessa paused for a while, looking at Kevin.
"Did she?", Kevin impatiently repeated.
Vanessa nodded her head. "I see one of us has changed our first-date habits...", she said.
Kevin sighed in frustration.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone", Vanessa assured her brother.
"I wouldn't be too sure about Taylor, though", she continued.
Kevin quickly turned and caught a glimpse of Taylor on the other side of the room. He started to follow her, but he was stopped by Tyra, his ex-girlfriend.
"Kevin, we need to talk. I haven't had a chance to talk with you since we broke up. Please.", Tyra said to him without hesitation and with confidence.
"Okay, let's talk.", Kevin said, giving up a chance to talk to Taylor.
"I just wanna let you know that I'm not the one at fault here. I gave you lots of chances, but you just continued to mess around with other girls...and it just seemed like you didn't care anymore about me", Tyra told him.
"I'm not blaming you for anything", said Kevin. "You had a problem with me, and you dealt with that problem by getting rid of me. It makes sense, so how could I blame you?", he continued, with a trace of regret in his voice.
"Kevin, don't be mad at me. I told you many times that I would break up with you if you went on messing around with other girls....and I just had to keep my promise.", Tyra said, as Kevin started to look away.
After a long pause, Tyra then said to Kevin, "So...you're going out with Taylor now?"
"Yeah", Kevin answered.
Tyra sighed, looked away, and shook her head.
"What is it? Is there another problem?", Kevin asked Tyra with a little frustration in his voice. "A problem with me going out with a white girl?", Kevin continued.
"NO", Tyra quickly answered. "I don't have a problem with that."
After another long pause, Tyra looked up into Kevin's eyes. "I still love you, ya know", she said to him softly.
Kevin softly ran his fingers through Tyra's long, flattened, permmed hair, touched her cheek and felt her smooth, dark skin, then he gave her a small kiss on the lips.
"I love you, too", Kevin whispered to her.
Then, Tyra's pager started beeping. She picked it up and looked at the number on it.
"Oh, damn. I need to go to work", she said with a little frustration. She then slowly started to walk away.
"Well, I'll see you later", Kevin said.
Tyra turned back and smiled at him. "Bye, sweetie", she said to him, then she continued to walk gracefully toward the door, then outside.
Kevin slowly walked down the hall, where he last saw Taylor. As he approached the corner, Taylor then came out of the corner and stopped him. Kevin became startled.
"I'm sorry to startle you, Kevin, but we need to talk."
Meanwhile, Frank spotted Stephanie quietly sitting at the edge of the couch. She was only 5'3" and about 115 pounds, but she was real pretty. Her beauty was a simple kind of beauty. She was wearing blue jeans cut off real high, and a pale blue baby t-shirt. She had straight blond hair and beautiful blue eyes, very similar to her sister Taylor's eyes. Stephanie turned her head a little and saw Frank smiling at her in a friendly way. She couldn't help but notice how he looked like Matthew McConoughey, her favorite actor. Frank approached Stephanie and started a conversation with her.
"Hey, Stephanie, what's up?", Frank asked enthusiastically.
Stephanie smiled at Frank and answered him, "I'm doing alright."
"Well, you seem to be bored", Frank said to Stephanie.
Stephanie smiled shyly and told Frank, "I'm sorry."
"That's okay", Frank answered. "Ya know, it's sort of loud out here. Wanna go upstairs and talk?", he asked her.
Out of impulse, Stephanie answered him, "Okay." She all of a sudden became nervous as she followed Frank to a bedroom upstairs.
They passed Kevin and Taylor at the corner of the hall greeted them, and continued upstairs. Kevin and Taylor then continued their conversation.
"Listen, Kevin, I'm sorry about what happened last night. I was going way too fast", Taylor apologized to Kevin. "Oh yeah, and I'm also really sorry about stealing your step-mother's car."
"It's alright. But I like to consider her as just my mother, not my step-mother."
Taylor nodded her head understandingly. "Well, thanks a lot for accepting my apology. I thought you would never understand."
"Of course I understand", Kevin said with pride, but deep down inside, he had no idea what was up with her last night.
"Well", Taylor said, "Where do we go from here?" "You don't wanna have sex, and I'm gonna respect whatever you wanna do...'cause I love you."
Taylor then started unbuttoning her blouse. "Damn", she sighed, "It's getting pretty hot in here, don't ya think?", she said in a soft, sexy voice.
Kevin's eyes were fixed on Taylor's smooth hands as they undid the top two buttons. Taylor then reached for Kevin's shirt, unzipped the zipper, and put her hands inside. Taylor paused for a while, smiled at Kevin and said in her soft sexy voice:
"I know what we should do..."
"What's that?", Kevin asked with a grin.
Taylor came up closer to Kevin, reached for something inside her pocket, and whispered something into his ear.
Meanwhile, Frank and Stephanie both went into the bedroom, and Frank let Stephanie go in before her. Frank then entered after Stephanie, closing the door behind him. Stephanie sat down on the foot of the bed, feeling nervous. Frank sat down next to Stephanie, and massaged her shoulders. All of a sudden, they heard Kevin screaming from out in the hall:
"Tay-lorrr, I don't wanna show everyone my baby pictures!!!"
Frank then continued to massage Stephanie's shoulders after he was rudely interrupted. As he was trying to relax her, he began to speak to her:
"Why are you nervous?", Frank asked her as he continued to massage her.
Stephanie answered Frank's question with another question, "You really wanna know why I'm nervous?"
"Yep", Frank replied.
Stephanie took a deep breath. "I'm nervous 'cause the last time I went into a bedroom with a guy during a party, he raped me....and so did his friends."
Frank suddenly stopped what he was doing and engrossed himself in deep thought. He felt an overwhelming feeling of guilt. What was he doing? What was he trying to do? How could he do this to her? How could he think of doing this to her? Frank felt that he needed to run to church and confess this to a priest. Frank controlled this urge and stayed put inside the building.
"Oh, my God. I'm sorry", Frank told Stephanie with all his sincerity.
"It's alright", Stephanie said.
Frank sensed the sadness in Stephanie's voice, touched her chin softly, and gently turned her face towards him. He looked at her beautiful blue eyes and saw a single tear roll out from one of them.
"I am so sorry I tried to take advantage of you", Frank apologized to Stephanie with all of his heart.
"That's okay", Stephanie told Frank. "You didn't do anything to me.....yet."
"I won't do anything to you, Stephanie", Frank said. "I love you."
Stephanie looked up into Frank's eyes and gave him a long, soft, sweet kiss. Frank gently touched Stephanie's cheek and felt her soft, fair skin. Right at that moment, Frank knew wht it was like to feel real love for the first time. This was not the love he had experienced when he had sex with other girls. This feeling was much greater than that. He looked at Stephanie once more and kissed her softly.
Meanwhile, down in the living room, Taylor was having a great time sharing Kevin's baby pictures with her friends. Kevin himself was bored to death.
"What's wrong, Kevin, are you bored?", Taylor asked in a sweet voice.
Kevin yawned and nodded his head.
Taylor then got up from the couch, walked into the hall, and gave Kevin a seductive look, fingering him to come towards her. Kevin, almost hypnotized by Taylor, walked slowly to Taylor and they both went upstairs. Taylor opened the bedroom door across from Frank and Stephanie and came inside. Kevin followed Taylor inside, closing the door behind him.
