Into The Night

Twenty-Nine

"Who did it first?" She retorted though that comeback was lame compared to my shot.

"Harry and Taylor kissed." Jhanelle repeated.

"Harry and Taylor smooched." Marshal said.

"Harry and Taylor were caught snogging." Niall added.

"Harry and Taylor hoo---"

"Kendall, not you too." Taylor cut her off.

"Anyways, who kissed?" Berlyn asked.

I raised my hand while Taylor said, "It was -- It was Harry. Oh goodness, please don't keep bringing this up."

"Yeah sure." Aerielle answered. "But why?! Are you two together or something?"

"No."
"No."

Taylor and I answered in unison.

"Then why the hell--"

"That's enough." Niall said and for once I'n glad about his attitude of making people shut up. For the rest of the ride I knew they tried not to ask us questions and I was thankful for it. Mum even called me up to add the awkwardness, I was teased about it but in this one, I really don't mind.

As soon as Marshal's car was returned, we all starred heading our way. Although I told Taylor I'd take her home. . . doing otherwise seemed indecent. She agreed but I told her I'd take off every piece of toy I have on me and I'll be swift about it. Luckily, Taylor agreed. . . and Kendall was alright with it.

It's already four AM when we took a taxi and headed to their house but we made the taxi park a block away. We walked and talked for the rest of the way and we got to the side of their house.

I looked up, "Need a boost?"

"No, I can do it." She said and I know she can so I let her. She started climbing with the help of the pipes and all those other dents on the walls which were supposed to be designs.

I climbed up in the same manner she did but I did not enter her bedroom, I just sat on the windowsill. "It was a fun night." I commented.

She smiled, "I agree."

I sighed, I ducked my head to enter her bedroom but kept myself seated on the window. "Listen, about the uh--"

"The kiss? Don't worry about it. I'm good." She cut me off.

"I'm sorry were--"

"I knew you would do it." Taylor said, making the reaction on my face a genuinely shocked expression. She chuckled a little, "That was weird but, well, somehow, I wanted to know how far 1:49 AM will go."

"I went too far?" I asked.

"No, I did." She replied. "Let's just try not to mention that."

"Yeah, yeah." I said. "Yeah, I agree. I me-mean nothing changes?"

"I hope not." She answered with a smile. "I'll see you around, soldier."

"You too, Miss Romanoff." I replied and started making my way out of the window. I climbed down slowly and carefully and then later on made my way back home.

The next day, Sunday, I stayed home. I was not my usual, early-morning sunshine lad. . . I was more like the groggy vampire living in the wrong century as I woke up and it's already noon. It took me a while but I got through with my morning habits and then settled for the homework Niall had been bugging me to do.

"From last night," Niall trailed as I was halfway through my Mathematics homework. "you and Taylor should not even be together."

"What? Why?" I asked, my voice a bit sleepy still. I kept rubbing my eyes with my left arm as my right arm still hurts from the fall last night.
