"Mom, can we PLEASE go now?" Taylor whined. They had watched the little Hanson's for an hour and were definately ready to go swimming with the twins. "Oh...Alright Taylor. Have Isaac drive you to the twins place. Oh, and Taylor?" He turned around. "Yeah Mom?" she winked at him. "Take it easy on her." Taylor rolled his eyes and ran to the car. Isaac hopped in followed by Jaime and Zac.
When they arrived at the twin's house, they were greeted by them. Rhett already had his eyes set on Jaime, and it was obvious to her that Taylor would beat the crap out of him if he tried anything due to the growling noises he was making. Jaime wanted to drive them both nuts so she did her best to flirt with them both. She walked up to Taylor and asked him in a Valley Girl type way, "Will you PLEASE show me that dive you were talking about last night? I can't WAIT to see it." Then she giggled and continued her way to the next twin, Rhian. She looked a lot like her brother, only instead of blonde hair, she had a striking strawberry blonde colored hair. "Hey, I'm Jaime. Jaime Crusoe. You're Rhian, right? Isn't that Welsh?" Rhian smiled. "Yeah, my mom liked the name and since she named Rhett first she wanted our names to show that we were twins, so I got stuck with an "R" name too. It's okay though. I have...OTHER ways of distinguishing myself." she pointedly looked at Zac. This made Jaime wonder for a second, until she finished explaining. "I'm sure Tay and Ike will tell you Zac's only weakness. They seem to enjoy picking on him and that's just another route of their cruel and unusual punishment on Zac. He deserves it, the pranks he pulls!" Rhett changed the subject, "Well, are we just gonna stand here or are we gonna do our usual?" Everyone but Jaime said the usual. She didn't know what they were talking about. She whispered to Taylor, "What're they talking about?" He smirked and said, "You'll see...Oh yeah, you'll see alright." This scared Jaime, but she went along anyway.
Once by the pool, Rhett got up on the island in the middle of the pool and started to explain. "Alright, Jaime. You must be bewildered right now, so here's the scoop. Every time the guys come over with a new friend, we play a little game as admittance to our little gang. All you have to do is play the game of me and my sister's choice. Are you up to it?" Jaime looked worried. Taylor leaned over and whispered, "If they make you do anything you're uncomfortable with, I PROMISE I'll kick Rhett's butt. You don't have to do anything you don't wanna, kay?" Jaime gulped, nodded, and agreed. "Well then, let me and Rhian start discussing. You guys go unpack your stuff." Once Jaime finished unpacking, Rhett walked over to them. "Okay, Jaime. My sister has saved you from total embarrassment, although you will have to be good at poker to save yourself. Your doom is to play a game of strip trivia with us. Everytime you miss a question, you have to take off an article of clothing. Unluckily, we are all in swimsuits, but, hey, life ain't fair!" Jaime looked at Rhett cautiously. "Could we be in teams?" He thought for a second, then agreed. Ike and Rhett were together. Rhian and Zac paired up also. Jaime looked around and found that Taylor was patting the seat next to him on the island. Jaime smiled and dove into the pool from the deck where she was standing. She climbed onto the cement center landing of the pool and sat on the chair. "Are you good at trivia?" Taylor asked her once she sat beside Taylor on the island. "Yeah. I have the feeling that Rhett is the only one who's going to show skin tonight." Taylor smiled and turned around as their first question was asked. "Zac and Rhian, Who was the first person to sail around the southern tip of Africa?" Zac and Rhian talked for a second then Zac answered, "Christopher Columbus." Rhett clicked his tongue and laughed. "Nope. Magellan! Ha!" After twenty minutes of playing, Taylor and Jaime were the only ones left with all their clothing. They all got tired of the game and decided on dinner from McDonalds. Afterwards they all went to the movie place. They decided on Romeo and Juliet and Scream. Rhett had finally gotten the hint, and was now just hanging with Zac. Only now, Taylor was moving in for the kill. Of course, he was being a little more gentleman-like about it, but still. Jaime was loving the bath of attention she was being given, and was having the best time of her life. Taylor was constantly whispering something in her ear or tickling her if she made a wise crack. She was loving every minute of it. Once they were home, they all sat down with the tv and watched Romeo and Juliet first. Everyone thought it would be a good idea to wait til dark to watch Scream.
Jaime was such a sap when it came to movies. She was afraid that she would ruin her reputation as Tomboy if she cried. Oh well, if she had to she would
."JULIET!!!!" Leonardo DiCaprio screamed. Jaime couldn't hold her tears in any longer. Taylor had been watching her struggle to keep from crying, and it was driving him nuts. Whenever girls cry, it must make guys feel powerful because they love it. Her bottom lip started to quiver, and a few tears slid down her cheeks. He smiled. Isaac saw all this. Puppy love was always Taylor's first subject in their little chats. He always wanted to know when to go for it and when to restrain, so when Taylor looked at Isaac for guidance, it didn't surprise him. Isaac signaled for him to put an arm around her. Taylor looked scared but did it anyway. She nuzzled her face into his shoulder, and he took this as a good sign. In fact, he had the stupidest grin acrossed his face. He hugged her closer, and he could feel her sob as Leonardo sobbed also. He thought it was cute. He didn't get why girls liked this stuff so much if it made them cry. All he cared was that she didn't slap him.
Jaime's head was swimming. Part was paying attention to the plot on the big screen TV and the other was cherishing Taylor holding her. She could tell he was nervous about it, because he was shaking a bit, but once she nuzzled into his shoulder he stopped. In fact at this very moment he was really getting over the nervousness. His hand was rubbing her back. He was so sweet. She lifted her head and turned back to the video.
"Okay guys, now let's watch Scream." Rhett announced after Romeo and Juliet was over. Jaime released herself from Taylor's arms and stood to stretch. Jaime called out, "Hey Rhian, let's go make popcorn." Rhian answered "I can't. I need to pee." Jaime laughed and headed for the kitchen. She reached in the cabinet that Rhian had indicated. She grabbed the Jiffy Pop and turned on the stove. She took the pan by the handle and set it on the burner and shook it like the directions said to. She was in her own world when she felt two hands on her waist. She jumped, screamed, and turned around. Taylor stood there, laughing. "I'm so sorry!" he said. "I saw the popcorn thing getting really puffy and I thought I should tell you cause you were in outer space at that very moment." She laughed. "I was thinking about the movie. I'm a wuss when it comes to scary movies, and I hope no one laughs." Taylor looked at her and said, "Well if it gets too scary then just tell me and we'll do something else, 'kay?" Jaime smiled. "Yeah, okay. I think I can handle it as long as Taylor the Boogie Man doesn't scare me anymore."
They all settled down with bowls of popcorn. Jaime didn't want any, instead she had a soda. She leaned back on Taylor after he had sat down and he put his arms loosly around her waist.
"Turn on the patio lights again Casey." Jaime looked wide-eyed at the TV. Casey turned the lights on and saw her boyfriend, slitted across the stomach. She squeeled and buried her face in Taylor's shoulder. He chuckled and looked down at her. She brought her head up and looked at him. "What's so funny about a guy being gutted like a fish?" He smiled. "Nothing." "Well, why are you laughing then?" He laughed. "I don't know, I just found it cute the way you squeeled and hid like that." She sighed. "Guys are always so calm about gross stuff like that." she said. He laughed and turned back to the video.
"Not in my movie." Sydney finished off the killer. Taylor looked down at Jaime only to find her asleep. He smiled and gently slid out from under her. "Hey Ike." he whispered, "What're we gonna do?" "Just pick her up and I'll help you slide her into a sleeping bag." Taylor nodded and gently lifted her off the couch. Isaac opened up the zipper to her sleeping bag. Taylor carefully laid her down.he reached down and gently untied her Nike's and slid them off her feet. Then Isaac zipped the bag up. Taylor leaned in and gently kissed her forehead. She was so cute when she was sleeping...
Jaime woke up to moonlight, coming from the window. She looked around. Isaac was asleep on the sofa, Zac on the loveseat, Rhian on an air matress, Rhett by Rhian, and Taylor laying beside her. She wondered what time it was. Right then he turned over and to her surprise his eyes were open. "Hey, you couldn't sleep either?" he asked her. She nodded. "It's cold down here on the floor" She said. He had and air matress and she was on the floor. "I feel bad. You should be on here. We decided the girls would get these, and I put you in the bag last night. Here, I'll sleep there." He said, starting to move. "No! Then you wouldn't sleep." He thought for a minute then said, "I don't care. You need to be warm more than me." After a lot of complaints from both of them, Jaime still wouldn't move. "Jaime, don't be a pain, you're getting up here if I have to pick you up and set you on it!" She giggled, "I don't think you could. All you are is skin and bones Taylor! You couldn't lift me, I'm too heavy for you." He looked at her, perturbed, "How much DO you weigh?" She looked at him, giggled at his expression, then answered, "Ninety-eight pounds, thak-you-very-much." He looked mischeiviously at her and said, "Well, I don't know if I can lift someone who only weighs ten pounds more than Jessie, but I'll have to suck it up." He reached down, scooped her up, and gently set her on the matress. "Oh, I think I pulled something." he said jokingly. She laughed and answered, "I'm too tired to move. I'll stay here...I guess." She heaved a fake sigh and laughed. "You're obnoxious. Do you know that? Cause you are." She smiled and turned on her side. She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, until she felt Taylor blowing his breath on her neck. She didn't know if it was intentional or not, but she ignored it anyway and went to sleep.
