I Looked Across and Fell In Love

Chapter 4

[Ed's POV]

      "That was amazing." I tell Taylor, she had just kissed me. I loved her, but I didn't know if I loved her this way, not yet at least.

       "No that was stupid, I'm sorry." She says looking down in embarrassment and sorrow. Did she like me? "Like that would ever happen!" I thought to myself.  She was beautiful... I was the last person she could ever have feelings for... maybe I did like her.

        "Really, it was good. But I think we should talk about this, whatever it is, first." I try to reassure her, but I don't think it worked, "I feel the same way, Taylor. "

         "You do?" She asked, looking me straight in the eye.

          "I think so. But lets wait to talk when we are sober?" I suggest, and she agrees. "Would you, maybe, I dunno, like to, possibly stay with me tonight? I-i-if not I would completely understand. .."

         Taylor laughs at my stutter, "I would absolutely love to accompany you this evening," she smiles. We interlock arms and walk off the stage and carefully walk outside. After a bit of struggling we get a cab in crawl in the back. A few minutes into the journey back to my place, Taylor falls asleep on my shoulder. When the taxi pulled into my drive with an abrupt halt, Taylor jolted awake and rubbed her eyes to see we had arrived.  I paid the driver and we walked in the front door.

           "Thanks for paying tonight, you didnt have to do that..." she said sleeply as she flops down on the sofa.

            "No problem," I say as I walk to the closet to get her a blanket.  When I return she is already sleeping so I carefully cover her up. She looks so perfect. I didnt realize how I felt towards her until tonight. And I still cant explain. I go to my room and fall asleep almost instantly.
