Y/n's View

I get up and wander downstairs.

"Good morning, baby." Hailee says as I walk into the kitchen.

"Baby, huh?" I ask.

Hailee smiles and I kiss her.

"I made you breakfast." Hailee says.

"When you say made, I assume you want me to ignore the containers in garbage." I say.

"Preferably." Hailee says.

I laugh and she smiles.

1 hour later...

I unlock the door and walk in.

"Hey." I say as Taylor looks up.

"Take it you guys made up." Taylor says.

"Yeah." I say.

Toby runs over to me and I pick him up.

"Hey, boy." I say.

"So what was wrong?" Taylor asks as I sit on the couch beside her.

"She told me she was in love with me and didn't know how to respond." I say.

"Oh." Taylor says.

"And in the midst of it all, I kind of realized that I felt the same. I just never knew." I say.

"So you're in a relationship?" Taylor asks.

"Yeah, we're gonna figure it out." I say.

"I have to meet her!" Taylor says.

"I don't know about all that." I say.

"C'mon, this is your first ever girlfriend. You just told me that you're in love, I have to." Taylor says.

"We'll see." I say.

"Is there something I should know about this girl?" She says.

"Uh, no." I say.

"So why can't I meet her? You said you wanna keep it private but this is getting serious. I have to meet my little sister's first love." She says.

"I guess I'm just terrified of what you're gonna say when you meet her." I say.

"Is she a felon?" Taylor asks.

"No." I say.

"Is she a drug addict?" Taylor asks.

"No." I say.

"Is she 45+?" Taylor asks.

"No." I say.

"Is she... under 18?" Taylor asks.

"No!" I shout.

"I'm just trying to weed out all the possibilities! I mean, I don't think you would do that. I know you wouldn't do that. I just don't know why I can't meet her." Taylor says.

"She's someone you know." I say.

"As in someone I've spoken to or someone I've heard of?" Taylor asks.

"Someone you've spoken to... a lot." I say.

"So one of my friends?" Taylor asks.

"Yeah..." I mumble.

"Well, Y/n, if she makes you happy, she makes you happy. It might be a little weird for me at first but I can get used to it." Taylor says.

"So you wouldn't be upset?" I ask.

"No." Taylor says.

"I'll see if she wants to meet for dinner tonight." I say.

"Yes!" She says.

"But you have to promise it won't be weird." I say.

"Promise!" She says.

Time Skip

"I'm so excited." Taylor says, as my phone dings.

"She's outside, I'll go get her." I say.

Taylor nods and I get up. I walk out of the restaurant and see Hailee.

"I don't think this is a good idea." Hailee says.

"Too late." I say.

"We can only go so much longer before she finds out and gets upset that we didn't tell her." I say.

"You're right." Hailee says.

I open the door for her and we go back inside. We walk to the table and Taylor looks up.

"Well, this is her." I say as Taylor stares at Hailee.

"Is this some sort of joke?" Taylor asks, laughing.

"No." I say.

"Oh. Holy shit." Taylor says.

I gulp and Taylor sighs.

"S-Sit down." Taylor says.

Hailee and I sit down and Taylor clears her throat.

"So how long has this been going on?" Taylor asks.

"Since Grant's wedding." Hailee says.

"Okay. Did you ever have plans to tell me you were sleeping with my sister?" Taylor asks.

"Honestly, no." Hailee says.

"Fair enough." Taylor says, chuckling.

Hailee laughs and I smile.

"You aren't upset?" I ask.

"No, you could've picked someone worse. Hailee's a great person, I know she is. I've known her since you were like 13." Taylor says.

"I'm really happy for you, Y/n/n. You've got a great woman on your hands." Taylor says.

I smile and nod.

"So you were the one hiding in the closet?" Taylor asks.

"Yeah." Hailee says.

"And you were the 'guy' that she thought gave her something?" Taylor says.

"Mhm." I say.

"All that only to be dehydrated." Taylor says.

Taylor and I laugh and Hailee rolls her eyes.

"So how do we tell everyone else? How do we tell the world? How would you do it?" I ask.

"You don't have to, but if you really want to, just do it." Taylor says.

"Really?" I ask.

"Don't let anyone get in the way of your happiness, Y/n. If you're gonna remember anything I tell you, remember that." Taylor says.

I nod and smile.

"Come here." Taylor says.

I get up and walk over to her.

"I love you, kid." Taylor says hugging me.

"I love you too." I say.
