Ecie & Esme III: Forever and a Day

Surprise, Surprise: One

'Tay... Taylor...' Esme breathed gripping onto her bed frame. 'Oh my god Taylor.'

Taylor chuckled as he looked up at Esme and saw her face.

'God don't stop... don't... keep...going... oh Taylor!'

Taylor grinned then moved up slightly and kissed Esme on the lips.

'Oh Taylor,' Esme sighed as her body relaxed. She pushed her hair away from her face and smiled back at him. 'You are fantastic.'

Taylor grinned as he lay on top of Esme and tucked some hair behind her ear. 'So it finally worked or what? You love me now?'

'Maybe,' Esme giggled playing with his feet. 'You'll have to try it again, just so that I can be sure.'

Taylor laughed as he kissed Esme and nodded.

Ecie sat at the dining table reading the LA Times with a bowl of fruit in front of her. She turned a page of the newspaper then smoothed the front of her multicolored cotton tiered Daslu One Vintage dress; she wiped her mouth then continued reading.

'You look pretty,' Esme smiled sitting down at the table next to her sister with a bowl of fruit, in a black Aubin and Wills Wiltshire tank dress. 'Read anything interesting in there?'

Ecie looked at her sister and shook her head smiling. 'Where's Taylor?'

'He's having a shower,' Esme replied eating her fruit. 'Where did you get the paper?'

'Deeprit,' Ecie replied. 'He's the doorman downstairs and he got the paper for us.'

Esme nodded as she looked at the newspaper. 'What time did you get up?'

'Well considering that I had to listen to you and Taylor all night, I'm surprised I got up at all,' Ecie replied turning the page. 'I mean I get that we've got this whole floor and stuff, and mom and dad aren't here, but please; keep it down. I don't want to hear you moaning and groaning.'

'Sorry,' Esme replied. 'We didn't realize...'

'Its fine,' Ecie shrugged. 'How come Taylor stayed over anyway? Doesn't he have a store to run anymore?'

'He wanted to see me off on my first day of college,' Esme replied. 'Anyway, when are you going to start bringing home boyfriends and stuff?'

'Never,' Ecie replied looking at her sister. 'Carole said that I fall into guys and relationships way too often, and that I need to take things really slow. I'm here to learn, I'm an adult now.'

'Right,' Esme said as Taylor walked into the room.

'Oh look, the man of the hour,' Ecie said getting up. 'You guys are going to have to find somewhere else to get creative.'

'Good morning too,' Taylor said as Ecie went to the kitchen. He turned to Esme confused. 'What did I do now?'

'Absolutely everything,' Esme grinned at Taylor. 'Are you going back tonight?'

'Yeah,' Taylor said eating some of Esme's fruit. 'But I was thinking if you wanted to get lunch or something. We could go back to mine and hangout for a bit.'

'Okay,' Esme nodded. 'I'll text you when I come out of my class.'

'Cool,' Taylor kissed Esme on the lips.

'Are you going to want a ride?' Ecie asked returning to the room with her large black leather MICHAEL Michael Kors Uptown Astor tote.

'Yeah,' Esme said looking at Taylor. 'Just give me a second to get my bag.'

Esme got up and went to her bedroom.

'Sorry about last night,' Taylor said. 'We didn't mean to keep you up.'

'Its fine,' Ecie replied. 'I think I'm kind of used to it by now.'

'If you ever wanted me to introduce...'

Ecie looked at Taylor and raised an eye brow.

Taylor stopped talking and gulped.

'Why do people assume that I need a boyfriend,' Ecie said. 'I'm perfectly fine by myself. I love being single, it's great, it's amazing. Anyway, I could get myself a boyfriend if I really wanted one.'

'Okay then,' Taylor said. 'I just thought...'

'I know all your friends and I don't like them,' Ecie went on. 'Unless you know any finance advisors or stock brokers then I'm not interested. I'm sick and tired of boys; I want a man in a very nice Savile Row suit.'

'I shall get back to you when I find someone,' Taylor said as Esme walked into the room with her grey nylon python print Stella McCartney bag.
