And so we kissed

Thirteen

The next morning, Taylor woke up, feeling the warmth of Rosemary's body beneath hers. A content smile spread across Taylor's face as she took in the sight of Rosemary peacefully sleeping. Sitting up, Taylor glanced over at her phone and saw that it was 7 o'clock. Letting out a soft sigh, she got out of bed and ran her fingers through her tousled hair, ready to start the day.

After getting out of bed, Taylor made her way to the closet and picked out a few items. With her chosen items in hand, she walked into the bathroom, leaving her phone behind to charge.

As Taylor disappeared into the bathroom, she went about her usual morning routine. The sound of the running water filled the room as she took a refreshing shower and brushed her teeth. However, as she finished up and reached for her bra, she realized with a start that she had forgotten to bring it into the bathroom.

Quickly wrapping a towel around her body, she walked over to the door and opened it, only to find Rosemary sitting on the bed, her face buried in her hands. Taylor's eyes immediately widened. She couldn't turn around from there because as soon as she started to back away, Rosemary's eyes caught over to her and her eyes widened before she turned away and looked back over at the ground.

Taylor cleared her throat before quickly rushing into the room and trying to look for the bra. Rosemary cleared her throat and ran her hands over her legs before clenching her eyes shut.

          "That's an interesting choice of clothes you picked to wear to school," Rosemary said,

          Taylor rolled her eyes, "Shut up. I'm looking for my bra."

Rosemary hummed before looking over and seeing Taylor's phone lit up. She looked away because she didn't have any business looking in Taylor's phone but when the phone lit up again, she couldn't help but see the contact name; Mom; appear. She then turned over to Taylor.

She opened her mouth to speak but she stopped when her eyes traveled down to Taylor's legs. Rosemary slowly traveled her eyes up until she was met with Taylor's gaze on hers. Rosemary then immediately turned away and pinched the bridge of her nose.

          "You got a text," Rosemary said,

          "It can wait," Taylor said,

          "It's from your mom," Rosemary said,

Taylor then paused before turning around and making her way over to the bed. She sat on the edge, taking her phone in hand as she began letting her eyes roam around the phone, looking at the messages.

Scratching the back of her neck, Rosemary couldn't help but wonder what Taylor's mother was texting her about. Not that it was her business or anything but she couldn't help but see the frown on Taylor's face and she wanted to help.

Rosemary was about to open her mouth and say something but her phone buzzed and she took out her phone to see it was a text from her mother. She sighed as she read the words; If you're good enough to go hang out with your friends, then you're good enough to go to school, get home, and get dressed.

She quickly texted back a reply before looking up from her phone and hearing the sound of Rosemary's phone hitting the table's surface. Taylor then got up and began to walk past Rosemary but Rosemary stopped her by grabbing her hand. Taylor looked down at Rosemary, looking at one of Rosemary's eyes to the other as she waited for Rosemary to speak.

          "What's wrong? Taylor and frowns don't mix well." Rosemary said, letting go of Taylor's hand.

          "Nothing — my mom was just reminding me that I'll be spending time with her for Thanksgiving. With her and her new boyfriend." Taylor said, rubbing her fingers through her hair.
