Taylor

Taylor wakes up in the morning and finds that her phone is dead.

She doesn't remember falling asleep but she remember who she fell asleep on.

"Awww shit," Taylor says as she plugs her charger into her phone.

She fell asleep on Dawaun last night.

Then her phone died. She didnt know if he hung up after she fell asleep or what but she was going to find out.

After her phone charged enough it cut on and she went into her messages to text Dawaun. It was 9:15. She had overslept and school had already started. She didn't know if Dawaun went to school or not.

She saw that he had texted her 10 minutes ago.

Dawaun😍😋: So you keep me up all night, fall asleep, then hang up on me over night while i'm sleep😕

Tay😻😎: You stayed on after I went to sleep?

Dawaun😍😋: Yea😌

Tay😻😎: Thats Cute😻 But my phone died over night. Thats why it hung up.

Dawaun😍😋: You at school?

Tay😻😎: No, You?👀

Dawaun😍😋: If I was in school I would know that you weren't either😂

Tay😻😎: oh yea💀

That didn't occur to her. They have the same first period class so of course he would know if she was there or not.

Dawaun😍😋: I'm coming over your house today then😌 Ima be there in 30 minutes.

Tay😻😎: Umm...I didn't invite you back😂

Dawaun😍😋: Just make sure you open the door.

Tay😻😎: Im not.

She texted that and waited about 5 minutes but got no text back. He was texting back immediately a second ago, but now he's not.

She had already decided not to go to school before Dawaun had even said anything.

She laid in her bed and scrolled through twitter tweeting a couple things.

He said he coming to see me😂

Time flew and 45 minutes later there was a text that came to her phone.

Dawaun😍😋: Come open the door.

Taylor got out of bed and went to get the door.

She opened it and looked at Dawaun from his feet to his face and hair.

Toro 4's on his feet, grey sweatpants, a plain white tee, and a red chicago bulls hat with black letters.

"You actually came," Taylor said.

"I tend to do things I say i'm gonna do," Dawaun says. "I like your outfit though."

Suddenly Taylor realized what she had on. An all red PINK sports bra and all black shorts on. The shorts were little, they covered about half her thigh and were tight. She never wore them outside but only slept in them. She just forgot what she had on.

He walks inside and she closes the door behind them.

"Yeaaaa...ima go change," said Taylor awkwardly.

She starts to walk away but Dawaun grabs her hand and pulls her back. "Nah, you look good, I like it."

"Ummm, ok," she said deciding to keep on what she had.

"Good," he smiled. "Now what we bouta do?"

Right before she could answer him her mother opened her door and came into the living room.

"Oh Hi. Who is this Taylor?" Her mother asks.

"Umm, this is Dawaun. He's a friend of mine."

"And yall not at school because...?"

"We was up late on FaceTime and overslept."

"Okay...Taylor don't be missing too much school."

"Ok Mom." She said as her mom went back into her room.

Taylor's mom was real cool. She knew Taylor was about to be 18 and wasn't gonna baby her forever. She didn't have a problem with Taylor missing school every once in a while. She really didn't have a problem with Taylor having people over. She didn't really bring people over though.

"Guess she cool with me being here."

"Yea. She don't be trippin' over stuff like a lot of parents."

"Thats Your room up there?" He asked pointing up the stairs.

"Yea. It is."

He smiled at her and ran up the stairs. She tried to follow behind him just as fast but he was way faster. He was in her room before she got to the halfway point of the steps.

When she got into her room Dawaun was already on her bed with his shoes off and her remote in his hand.

"Hey," he said while flipping through channels.

"Nigga, what you mean 'hey'? Get out my bed!"

"Orr...you could come lay in this space i saved for you," he said indicating the empty space next to him.

Taylor had a queen sized bed so it was big enough for two people or three.

"Ugh, you so annoying." She got into her bed next to him. She already laid with him before so she wasn't that scared that he was going to do anything unless she let him.

She laid with her head on his chest and their bodies next to each other.

"What we bouta' watch?" He asked.

"You can pick this time, I picked last time." Taylor said.

"Bet. Lets watch...Cartoon Network."

Taylor just looked at him.

"Whaaatttt? You gotta be a kid sometimes." He said to her.

She just looked towards the T.V. She felt his arm cradle her around her back, so now her body was facing his side while her head was still on his chest.

I like this. Taylor thought with a smile.
