Keeping Up With Dan

2. Pestering Taylor

Dan's P.O.V.

Ahh..  Taylor.  I snicker and go back upstairs to finish getting dressed.  I managed to get my jeans on before someone starts banging on my door.  Who is that?  I walk over and quickly open the door.  Jeesh.  It's too early to be banging on a door right now!

Hannah, my older sister scrunches up her nose at me.  "What?" I ask.

"Put a shirt on!  No one wants to see that."

"Well, I WAS getting dressed, but SOMEONE couldn't wait for me to open the door.  And FYI, Taylor loves me without a shirt on very much."

Hannah raises her eyebrows at me.  "Oh yeah sure.  I bet she does.  You keep thinking that Danny."

I glare at her.  She knows I don't like it when people call me Danny!  "What do you want anyway?  It's like 8 in the morning."

"Yeah I know, I'm surprised you're actually awake.  Anyway, I need you to tell mom and dad that I'm going to work."

I stare at her.  Now it's her turn to say, "What?" 

"And you couldn't have written them a note telling them where you are?"  I ask her.

"Nope.  That would ruin the fun of waking you up."

"Oh yes.  I'm having so much fun!"

"Yeah I know.  Big sisters are amazing aren't they?"

"Sure.  Whatever.  Believe what you want to believe."

She rolls her eyes, "Well I got to go."  She turns to leave, but points turns around and looks me straight in the eyes before she reaches the stairs, "Try not to mess with Taylor to much now will you?  I want to hang out with her later and I don't want her to not come over here because of you."

I put a hand on my heart and make a hurt expression on my face.  "Because of me?  Ooohh no!  I'm ALWAYS innocent.  See?"  I point at my face.  "This innocent face proves it.  If she doesn't want to come over it's because of YOU."

She laughs.  "Innocent face, my butt.  You're as innocent as someone who's in jail after someone witnessed them committing the crime."

"Ouch.  Harsh!"

"Bye!"  Hannah says quickly turning back around and running down the stairs.

"Bye!" I call after her.

Pft.  I'm way more innocent than she thinks.  She's the guilty one.  Always.  Unfortunately she always drags me under.  I think she thinks I'm her "partner in crime."

I head back downstairs now that I'm fully clothed and ready for a new day.  I walk into the kitchen and grin when I see that Tay is still pacing back and forth in her kitchen.  I pull out my cell phone from my jean pocket, and start to text her.

Tay-Babe! 

Ugh!  Why do you call me that?

Cause it's cute and you're cute :)

Oh, you flatter me

I know, that's just how I roll baby

Uhh..ok.. So why are you pestering me at 8 in the morning

Cause I'm bored and have nothing better to do

Ugh!

So, what should I eat some cereal?  a waffle?

I don't know, you're the one eating it!

What's the sexiest?

Oh. My. Gosh.  You didn't just ask me that did, you?

Yes, I believe I did.  Now answer the question.

All of them.

Woah.  That doesn't sound sexy.  More like a pig.  Are you sassying me Tay-Babe?

Shut-up

Nope

Then stop texting me!

Aww!  You and I both know you really don't want that!

She doesn't text me back, so I look up and see that she has stopped pacing.  She grabs a bowl of cereal and starts eating it.  Ha.  Now's my chance!

No!  I wouldn't eat that!

What?  Why?  Where you in my house?  What did you do to it?

I burst out laughing, even though she can't hear me.  Oh Tay.  Typical Taylor.

Maybe...

You creep!  You little creep!

Hey!  I'm older than you!

I don't care!

Ah!  What a great way to start the morning by pestering Taylor!

I'm trying to eat my breakfast!  Do you mind?

Yes!

Forget you!

Ouch.  That's mean!

Well you're an idiot

Aww!  That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me Tay-Babe!

Do you want me to come over there and hurt you?

I chuckle to myself.

Oh I see.  Open threats, but no real action.

That's it!  I'm coming over there!

I watch as she grabs her bowl of cereal and leaves the kitchen and then I see her leave her house.  Oh...  She's actually coming over?  Haha!  That's a first!
