I Never Thought You'd Come Along

Part 13

~On The Bus (Halfway To Taylor's House)~

*Alex's POV*

"Goodness. I'd forgotten how much riding the bus sucks!" I exclaimed to Taylor. She didn't even look at me. "Taylor?" I said again, gently bumping her with my elbow.

She looked at me almost as if she'd just woke up. "What is it, Alex?"

"I said something to you and you didn't respond."

"Oh. Well did you not know I had my head phones in?"

I looked at her ear, and sure enough there were her purple head phones. "Oh, um, no. I didn't notice that..."

"Hmm. Well what did you want now that you have my attention?"

"Um. I- uh, what kind of music you got?" I replied and ripped her iPod from her hand, and ripped a head phone from her ear.. To my surprise, she let me take both of them without a fight.

I put the ear bud in and was immediately bombarded by country song being sang by one deep voiced guy. Josh Turner? Who the heck was he?

"Josh Turner?" I looked at Taylor perplexed.

She gave me a flirty smile, a devilish gleam in her eye, and said: "Yes Josh Turner. He's got one the deepest, most sexiest voices. I just love listening to him sing. I mean, listen to how he sings the beginning of the chorus!"

Then she began to sing the chorus along with Mr. Turner, oh so gently into my ear. But I never got to hear his "sexy" voice. Taylor had gotten much closer to me. I could almost feel her lips against my cheek, and her warm breath caressed my face.

"Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low

Put some music on that's soft and slow

Baby we ain't got no place to go

I hope you understand

I've been thinking 'bout this all day long

Never felt a feeling quite this strong

I can't believe how much it turns me on...." She finished just before the song said "just to be Your Man".

It took me a second reason to realize she'd stopped. I don't know what that girl had done to me, but she did something! Everywhere her breath had touched me was all tingly and warm, my heart and breath were racing, and my eyes were wide and fixed in one spot.

Finally, somewhat snapping out of my stupor, I looked at her. And the only thought that could cross my mind was:

There's a little bit of devil in her angel eyes

She's a little bit of heaven with a wild side

Got a rebel heart a country mile wide

There's a little bit of devil in her angel eyes

Lyrics from Angel Eyes, a country song my mom was obsessed at the moment. Random thing to think of, but it definitely fit!

"So Alex, don't you agree his voice is just amazing?" Taylor asked, grinning at me.

"I- uh. I- uh. Um. I-"

"I knew you'd be speechless!" She giggled as she... winked at me?!

Who the frick was this girl and what had she done with Taylor?!

*Taylor's POV*

Oh my goodness the look on his face is just too funny! I knew I could make him rethink who I am!

I just continued to gaze at him. Gawd he looks so hot! WOAH! WAIT ONE FRICKIN MINUTE! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?! Bad Taylor! No such thoughts are to be in your head! Understood?!

My random thoughts caused me to tear my eyes from his gorgeous brown ones. GORGEOUS BROWN ONES?! Hormones! That's the explaination! I've just got raging teenage hormones today! Nothing to worry about... right? Just go with it Taylor. Show him just how... hormonal you can be...

　

~At Taylor's Place~

*Alex's POV*

Thank goodness that odd silence is over! After that whole incident on the bus we were just kind of locked in our minds. I couldn't think of anything to say to her. I kept replaying what had happened in my mind. I'd only felt like that around a girl once before now. At least to that intensity.

Her name was Melissa. She was amazing, I sometimes wonder if I loved her. Who knows, all I know is she turned out to not be as "amazing" I thought. She cheated on me with the only guy at school I openly hated. Gawd she broke my heart. But I'm so much better off without her...

Moving on, did this mean I liked Taylor?

"The answer to that is obvious you dummy!" The little voice inside my head yelled at me as Taylor's drive way came into view. "Do you really have to ask whether or not you like her?!

"Oh shut up!" I growled at the little voice.

"Excuse me?" Taylor said sharply, yet obviously perplexed.

Oh shit. Did I seriously just answer myself out loud? "Nothing Taylor, sorry."

This was getting bad...
