"Mom." I said.

"Yeah?"

"You having a good read back there?"

"Is it bad to be curious?"

"Kind of."

"It's cute that you think you have privacy." She said. "You haven't let this go yet?"

"The fact that I like Taylor or the fact that I like girls in general?"

"Going against the grain seems to be your strong suit sir." She undid the top button of my flannel.
I rolled my eyes and buttoned it back.
"I just think that you're throwing your life away."

Wow.
"Exactly what a daughter wants to hear from the person who claims that I'm her life."

"You are a reflection of me and this is not what I want to see."

"I'm sorry that you feel that way."

"Who are you talking to?"

"Nobody."

"That's what I thought." She walked past me and I rolled my eyes.
My phone vibrated. Low and behold.

Tay Tay😘😘❤️❤️💟:

"Mother!"

"Yes?"

"Taylor says it's an emergency. I'm going over her house. Is that okay?"

"Yeah."
I grabbed my keys and walked out of the house. I unlocked the Benz and got in. I drove to my friend's house and went in.

"I'm here. What's the emergency?"

"RY RY! THANK GOD!" She ran to me and grabbed my hand. We ran upstairs and she took off her robe.
"Okay. Does this make me look slutty?"

There was a lot of. Boobs.
"Nope. Perfect amount of wholesome, perfect amount of naughty." I put the robe back around her.

"But like. Would you approach me in this?"

"If I didn't know you?"

"Either way. Would it attract you?"

"Well. I don't know."

"Let's test it. Okay. You're someone who sees me staring at them. Would you want to come over?"

"Probably."

"What would you say?"

"Uh. Probably. Hey lady? Why ya starin at me? By the way. Nice tits, I'm Lyle." I held out my hand and she laughed.
God I love her laugh.
God I love her.

"Stop. Seriously."

"You always look great Tay. I don't know why you need me to tell you what looks go-" she pulled me close to her by my waist.
"We're a little clo-"

"Sh. Don't ruin it." She leaned in and her lips briefly grazed mine. She let me go and observed me.
I was extremely confused.
"There's the look. Thank you so much Ry Ry."

"What did I do?"

"If that were a real thing that is the look I was searching for. Perfect perfect perfect."

"Oh. Okay. I'm gonna go home."

"No no wait. Stay." She said.

"I will on one condition."

"What?"

"Kiss marry kill. Andrew Garfield, zac efron, me."

"Hm. Kiss Andrew. Marry... You. Kill zac."

"Good choices."
She only said that to make me stay but I was still a little happy.
"What would you do if I told you that I loved you?"

"Probably say I love you back."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"No. Like if I said I was in love with you.."
The look on her face showed .2 seconds of panic and then speculation.

"Yeah." She said with a nod.

"Wait. What?"

"I'd still say it back."
Does this mean it's time?
Is this the time?

"Um. I'm in love with you."

"I love you back Ry." She hugged me.
Wow. This was easy.
