A Small Town Story

Chapter 11

*Read authors note at end please!*

 Recap:

“You basically just kidnapped me do you realize that!?” I exclaimed at him.

He looked at me and smirked. “Why didn't you scream or yell for your mom then or even tell me to put you down?” He asked and then drove off starting our “adventure”.

I froze in the passenger seat. Why didn't I scream or yell? Or even tell him to put me down?

Why?

I watched out the window trying to figure out where the heck we were going. Since it is a small town and I have lived here my entire life, I known this place like the back of my hand. I saw that we were heading towards the old dinner.

That is until Tyler made a sharp left turn onto this old dirt road.

“You are not going to take me into the middle of the woods and kill me are you?” I asked half joking and half with all seriousness.

“Yes Taylor I am. How ever did you guess.” He paused “No I am not. Do I look like a murder to you?”

I pursed my lips and studied his beautif- err face. “Well..” I trailed off kidding around.

His truck came to a stop and he put it in park before turning to me and clutched his heart dramatically.

“Awe that hurts Taylor..” He said dramatically. I just rolled my eyes and glanced out the passenger side window and into the darkness.

I felt a nudge on my arm and I looked over at Tyler who motioned me to get out of the truck. I did so and then we both stood side by side in the darkness of the night.

Ahead I saw the faint outline of a building of some sort. Tyler turned on the small flashlight he brought and as we walked closer I saw that it was an old barn.

I stopped walking and turned to Tyler, “What are we doing here?” I asked since I was utterly confused at the moment.

Tyler grabbed my hand and tugged me along. “Just come along. I swear I am not going to murder you or anything.”

“You did kidnap me.” I muttered. I then glanced down at our intertwined hands and my heart started to speed up. Stupid I known. I mean come on I made a promise to myself that I was not going to let him affect me.

Yet here I am.

We came to an old ladder that lead up into the  of the barn. Tyler let go of my hand and started to climb his way up and I soon followed him.

When I reached the loft I saw Tyler lighting a couple of oil lamps which illuminated the small loft area.

Tyler then took a seat on these bails of hay that had blankets covering them. II followed in suit and took a seat and leaned back.

Over our heads there was a pretty big hole in the roof which made all the stars visible. Something I loved to do was to look at the stars. Something about them just amazes me.

“Why did you bring me here?” I asked not even looking away from the stars.

I heard a sigh come from beside me and after a minute or two I received an answer. “I don't really know Taylor. I have never really brought anyone here to be honest.”

Again my stupid heart decided to speed up. I hate that he has this stupid affect on me. I hate it so much.

“Oh.” I squeaked out. I cursed myself for sounding like that afterwards.

It was silent for a good ten minutes before I heard shifting next to me. I looked over to see what Tyler was doing.

“What are you doing?” I asked him as I saw him scooting closer.

He looked to be having an internal battle with himself and he didn't answer me or at least not the way I expected him too.

His lips covered mine.

I didn't move.

When Tyler realized that I wasn't kissing him back he pulled away. He looked hurt and I felt bad. I just wasn't expecting..that.

“Sorry. I just really wanted to do that.”

My eyes weren't trained on the stars above me anymore. Nope. They were trained on the infuriating, hot, confusing, stupid boy beside me.

Why the frick frack did he just kiss me? Why?

I million and one questions were going through my mind at the moment and I didn't know which one to ask first.

He just kissed me and there is no one around to make jealous.

“Huh?”

That is what I respond with. Not something like “No please continue kissing me.” or “Why did you want to do that?”. I respond with ‘huh’.

Great going Taylor. Woo hoo.

“Taylor, you confuse that crap out of me. Ever since I kissed you back at the ice cream parlor I can't get you out of my head and it is frustrating me so much.”

Oh.my.gosh.

Am I dreaming? I have to be dreaming.

“Did you just pinch yourself?” Tyler asked me.

I rubbed my arm. Nope I am not dreaming.

“Taylor can you like say something?”

Oh yeah I guess I should say something.

“Oh.”

Yes, that was my brilliant response. Wow that is two in a row. Dang I should get an award or something.

“Wait, I thought you liked me?” My eyes widened and turned to Tyler.

“Y-yeah I do.” I cursed myself again for shuddering.

My heart was pounding as I awaited his response. Is he going to kiss me again? Is he going to confess his dying love for me?

“Cool”

My heart seemed to stop then and there. That is all that was said to me. What the actual heck. What is that suppose to mean?

I waited to see if he was going to say anything else but nothing else was said. Not a single thing the rest of the night.

I am more confused now than ever.

Cool.
