I Never Thought You'd Come Along

Part 14

*Alex's POV*

~Taylor's House~

"Alex!" Taylor called from her room.

"What?!" I called back.

"I'm gonna take a shower! Feel free to watch TV or something! My parents probably won't be home for a little while!"

"Okay! Don't have too much fun in there!" Nothing, but silence followed my last comment. I figured she hadn't heard me. Then a few moments later she called back to me.

"Only if you promise not to have to much fun with your friend, Dick, while you two think about me being completely naked and in the shower a few rooms from you. Cuz you know I'll be on your mind!" Then the door slammed.

Me= Stunned silence. Wow. Wasn't expecting that back! I was more expecting 'you sick perv!' or something. But not that.

~10 minutes later~

*Still Alex's POV*

"BRRIIINNNGGG!!"

The sudden ringing of the phone startled me. I had a whole body twitch and nearly fell off the couch onto Clark who was sleeping at my feet. Clark jumped up, I'm sure fearing the worst.

"Sorry, Clark. Good boy, it's fine."

The phone rang on and finally went to the answering machine.

"Taylor, Honey," Taylor's mom's voice met my ears, "we won't be home in time to see Clark off. Tell him we love him, and that we wish him the best. And the same to the Hoffmans. Okay? Thanks, love you! Feel free to make your own dinner!"

I should probably tell Taylor about this. Clicking the TV off, I headed towards her room.

When I got there, I put my head to her door and listened. I didn't hear the water running, but then again all my ears could actually hear was Moves Like Jaggar blasting.

"Taylor?" I asked, knocking on the door. No reply. Maybe she was still in the bathroom or something? I opened the door thinking that was it and took a couple steps in. I. Was. So. Wrong.

There she was. In her Bra, a pair of blue jeans that hugged her just right, and with her still wet hair down, dancing to the last chorus of the song.

"Take me by the tongue (Take me by the tongue)

And I'll know you

Kiss me 'til you're drunk

And I'll show you (Yeah yeah yeah!)

All the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

(Oh, yeah)

I don't need to try to control you

Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger"

She danced to this song like she was born to. Swinging her hips, twisting her body, throwing her arms just right, and havin' her hair fly about. She made the song a playful 'dance around your room' type of song, and then she made it a 'could seduce anyone' song at the same time.

Mesmerized, I stood there like a fool and watched her instead of bolting out of the room like a gentleman would have. Big mistake.

*Taylor's POV*

The song finished and I was out of breath. I hadn't danced like that to that song since... since our last sleep over. Leaning against my bed, I looked into the mirror on my closet door. There I saw myself. I looked like a normal teenage girl. Though I so wasn't. And I also saw Alex starring at me. Wait, ALEX?! STARRING AT ME?!

I whipped around faster than a heart beat. "Alex! You sick, desprate b*stard, get the hell OUT OF MY ROOM!"

He kept standing there. But his expression changed. It went from awe to terror and shock. I ran up and slapped him across the face. "I SAID GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" And with that I shoved him back and slammed the door.

　

*Alex's POV*

What the hell had I done. I just ruined everything. Any possible future with her, or as friends! I know it! She's gonna murder me! Her family's gonna murder me!

As these thoughts flew through my head, and as I nursed my throbbing check, Clark rubbed up against me. I screeched and fled as though he was gonna turn on me too. He'd startled me at the worst time. Damn my jumpiness!

What do I do know? Leave? I can't. Shit, I'm gonna have to face her.

At that moment, I heard her door open. I heard her walk out of the room, and then the door click shut once again.

I'm so dead.
