(from now on I will be writing straight, no italics or bold)
Taylor's laughter was echoing in the room as some people glare at her while she kept laughing. She was feeling free and great without a care in world. Only one thing mattered and he was sitting in front of her holding her hands as she felt butterflies in her stomach.
"You know, I never thought that I would be meeting someone like you," Edward said, taylor couldn't help but blush. She look away trying to hide her red cheeks. She always does this but she can't hide it from him, he always catches her and pinches her cheeks as she giggled.
"Well anyway what do you want for dessert," Taylor asked, looking at the menus. Edward took her hand and kissed it. "I would rather have you as dessert." He whispered, taylor glared at him.
"How about cheesecake?" She asked, edward shake his head and laughed to himself, he knew she was embrassed. "Whatever you like," He said.
They ordered the chocolate cheesecake, when it arrived they both dig in. Taylor closed her eyes and moaned in pleasure. It do was good and it reminded her how much she missed stephanie and her food. She used to make these cheesecakes for her when her parents weren't at home to keep eye on her.
Only god knows how is stephanie holding up? What did she even do when she was gone? These questions were playing inside taylor's mind like crazy and she can sense if she doesn't do something, she would go crazy. For god's sake, she was like her second mother who loved her like crazy.
She have to call her sometimes.
She even wondered what her parents might be doing, were they worried going on with their life like they had no care in the world or they weren't even eating without her. She scoffed, wish they were that caring for her.
"You alright?" Edward asked, concern in his eyes. Taylor look at him and chuckled showing she was okay when in reality she wasn't. She was terrified, scared and everything worse. She doesn't even realize a month ago that she can come here all alone without any security or stephanie.
"I'm just thinking over everything, a month ago I couldn't even leave my house and now here I am. It's just crazy" She said, "Yeah I know, I can see how happy you were with your mom," He said. Taylor was caught off guard. Scared that he might know she wasn't what he thinks she is.
"Look, I can explain" She said, edward shake his head, and chuckled. "I can see how much she can relate to you, same brown hair, brown eyes" Edward said.
"You're just like your mom," Taylor was beyond confused, she was 100% sure her mom's eyes were blue and hair were brown.
"What are you talking about?" Taylor asked, edward sighed and pursued his lips meaning he was nervous. Taylor was afraid, what might he say to her, does he know the truth or if he has called her parents?
"I saw the photo taylor of you and your mother, in your handbag," He said, taylor's eyes widened as she rummaged through her bag to see a photo frame of her and stephanie, her maid.
"I didn't mean to, I was looking for my shirt and then it bumped into my arm and then i kind of glance at it, i'm so sorry" He said.
She was relieved he doesn't knows that, but he do know something about her life.
"This is my mom, stephanie." Taylor said, edward nodded his head as taylor smiled at the photo.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked, taylor look at him before looking down the photo. She don't wanted to lie nor she wanted to tell the truth.
"Yes, it was my 15th birthday and we were at this fair, it was most perfect day ever, I couldn't imagine better than that," She told him, as she look back at the flashback.
"Stephanie, please I wanna go to that ride, pretty please" Taylor pleaded, stephanie sighed and said,
"I really want you but what if you fall down or get scared, who would be there to hold you?" She asked,
"You of course," Taylor giggled. Stephanie chuckled with her, "I would be, but that is not in my job description to hold you when you need your mother," Taylor doesn't even want her to be mentioned anymore.
"Okay if you don't want to then I'm going alone." Taylor snapped about to go when stephanie holded her wrist making her stop at her actions.
"Sometimes, I wish taylor you were my daughter," She said, stephanie wiped the tears on back of her hand before going with taylor. It wasn't in her job description but she was always there for her, even when her mom should've been there.
"I hope she rest in peace" Edward said. Taylor glance at him. "She is always alive in my heart, don't say that she can rest in peace" She said.
"Oh I'm sorry, I won't say it" He said.
"Can I just hug you and cry?" Taylor asked, edward nodded his head as he pulled her close, she slipped her hands on his waist, as she buryed his face in his chest. Edward's hands wrapped around her in embrace.
He have to stop himself not to cry when she was crying. Her sobs turned into hiccups. Taylor doesn't even know why she was crying. All she know is that what she has done was wrong. She should've at least let them talk or at least she should've talk to her parents.
"Shh, it'll be fine" Edward soothing voice rang inside her head as he rubbed her back to keep her calm. It was working. She was thinking straight and maybe thinking she have to meet her parents soon and that should be today. No, she can't dump edward like this, it was really cruel and wrong but she thought of something that can change their life.
"How about we settled somewhere?" Taylor asked, edward look at her like she was crazy of thinking like this. She was crazy and crazy things always happened. She never been so sure about anything than this.
"Maybe we should discuss this," Edward said, looking at her confusely. Taylor smiled and shake her head.
"What good it would come or what worse could happen?" She asked, he sighed looking away. He was still unsure of this question.
"I've been in my worse too, i've seen worsest things in my life, what could happen if I stay with you?" She told him. Edward wondered what she is saying, what worse could happen with her when she is always smiling. He laughed, sad people are always smiling. He didn't gave her an answer but pulled her close until she was on his lap, her eyes staring into his brown ones. He leaned his head up and touched her lips with his, closing every gap between them. Taylor closed her eyes feeling her heart beating faster, just how he touches her. Just one touch, and she was crazy.
He kissed her, feeling her smile in kiss. She got her answer. He wanted to live with her.
"Where do you wanna live?" He asked, "Anywhere as long you're with me" She said.
"How about here?" He asked, they were currently in los angeles, in a cafe across a mall. It was pretty and warmer than new york city.
Taylor nodded her head. "Yes," She whispered before attaching her lips to his. It was perfect. Everything was gonna be alright. She can feel it, he can see it.
