Fall in love with my best friends brother? CHECK
That's it. That's all I've got. I'm seriously stupid, how could this cliché happen to me. Kooper is my best friend, his older brother though? I have dreams of him.
I shouldn't like her.

Taylor
30 Years Old
(Summer 2021)
"Taylor?" I spun around at the sound of my name. Already knowing who it was.
"Abbott." Standing in the pond everything from my neck down was covered. Not that I gave a damn if this man saw me naked at this point, he has a couple times anyway, and yes, I was buck ass naked. "What are you doin' here?"
"I uh, went to the bar. You weren't there, Eden said ya asked her to cover."
"I did."
"You alright?"
"What do you think?" He shrugged his shoulders. "Well, you're here, you gettin' in?"
"I ain't got a suit."
"Like that's ever stopped you." I let out a laugh.
"Your grandaddy will kill me if he finds me on his land." I shrugged. Hands on his hips he smiled wide, my favorite smile on my favorite Abbott. Then started unbuckling his belt. He shook his head a few times. "You Taylor are gonna get me killed."
"Nobody forcin' ya Kieffer." He slipped off his boots and jeans then pulled his shirt up and over his head back the back of it. My mouth went dry. He was standing there in just boxers and walked into the pond like it was nothing. It's June, the pond has a slight chill to it. I've had a chill for a bit but haven't wanted to get out, just want to drown in my sorrows. He stopped a few feet from me.
"You alright?" I shook my head. "What you doin'?" I shrugged.
"Do you know what today is?"
"Of course, I know what today is. I'd never forget, why you think I came to find you." I shook my head and looked down.
"Can I ask you somethin'?"
"Anythin'."
"You'll answer honestly?"
"I'm never not honest with you." He stated.
"Yea just with yourself." I mumbled.
"What?" I shook my head knowing it would go over his.
"Nothin'."
"What's your question Tay?"
"What is wrong with me?" I looked up at him trying not to cry.
"Ain't nothin' wrong with you, why would you ask that?" He took another step closer. I shook my head again and looked back down at the water. "Tay, what's goin' on for real? I mean I know today is the anniversary with your Momma and stuff, but why you askin' questions like that when you damn well know you're way too good for everyone in this town."
"Can I ask you another question?" I swallowed hard and looked back up at him and he nodded. "Do you ever want me?" His eyebrows went up slightly but his expression stayed serious.
