Lavender
Taylor's family began showing up early this morning, like really early. Austin and his girlfriend were here and her grandparents and cousins all filtered in by noon. Taylor hasn't said anything to me about last night but it's not like anything crazy happened, my air mattress had a hole in it and I needed sleep. Not that it fucking changed a thing. Caleb walked into the living room and plopped down beside me.
"How'd you sleep," he asks throwing his arm around me.
"Like shit" I grumble
"Aw cat got your tongue" he snickers
"More like the air mattress leaked" I shoot him a death look.
"Shit" he laughs
"You know you better watch yourself" I groan slapping his knee
"Where's Taylor anyway" he presses glancing around the room. A few of Taylor's cousins were playing trains on the floor and most of the adults were out back chatting.
"I think she's outside, why" I ask
"Just keeping tabs - the story you know," he says
"Gotcha," I say
"Yesterday wasn't so bad," he says
"For you, I had to talk to Andrea and she saw right through our story," I say
"Wait what" he says slightly tensing up
"Yeah she knows about me" I sigh
"Will she tell Scott" he questions
"Probably not" I smile
I didn't want to spend the day worrying about if people found out I was gay, it's everywhere. One Google search of me and BAM there it is.
"I going to get a drink," I say standing up
"Don't drink too much" he says
"Don't eye fuck Taylor's family" I whisper aware of the children in the room
Caleb sends me a glare and I smile slightly. I make my way into the kitchen and notice it's empty. I grab a spiked lemonade since this family doesn't bring out the hard liquor until the kids go to bed. I'll survive. Glancing out the back window I see most of the adults relaxing or chatting. I hear someone enter the kitchen but I don't bother turning around. It's not that I'm not in a talking mood but It could be a random family member.
" hey"
It's Taylor.
I turn around and lean on the counter. She's stunning today. Who am I kidding she's stunning every day. Shit do friends think that? I can't help but acknowledge what's there.
"Hi," I say sipping the lemonade.
Taylor saunters over and slips her hand in mine before tugging me toward the staircase.
"Where are we going," I say throwing a look back into the kitchen
"To get you something else to wear, your outfit screams gay" she giggles
I chase her up the stairs and into her room when she starts flipping through the clothes in her closet, I swear if this woman hands me a dress. I glance down at my outfit.
"What's gay about my outfit, " I ask
It looks fine to me.
"The baggy pants folded at the bottoms- your oversized t-shirt showing your sports bra underneath- the layers of gold chain and the beanie on your head" Taylor lists off my flaws
