Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 28

Hayden's pov

We got back home and went inside. It was about 8:30. We all sat down around the living room. I took off my wedges because they were starting to kill my feet.

"I can't believe you were actually going to fight her," Corbyn laughed.

"Hayden will fight anyone," Taylor rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Only for you," I smiled at Taylor.

"Yet you still looked good doing it," Eben said.

Taylor and I laughed. I blushed.

"Daniel, that was a good save," I told him.

"Yeah, I was lucky on that one," he nodded and looked at Taylor.

"Thank god. I really didn't want this dress to get messed up," Taylor agreed.

They smiled at each other.

"Date already!" I yelled.

Everyone laughed.

"Dang, Hayden. Pushy much?" Eben joked.

"Only with them two," I smiled innocently.

"I can't believe we only have three more days to spend with you, Taylor," Zach pointed out.

"Yeah. We just got here, and now you're leaving," Jack added.

"I know. I'm sorry. I'll come back and visit," Taylor told them.

"I can't," I frowned. "I'll be in Germany."

"We have to meet up when I'm in Germany for the tour," Taylor told me.

"Yes! We have to!" I smiled.

"Meanwhile we will be here," Eben pouted.

"We will come back," I laughed.

My phone went off. I picked it up to see who had texted me as everyone else continued talking. I looked up at everyone to make sure no one was paying attention as I quickly responded to the message.

"I'll be right back," I announced as I put my wedges back on.

"Where are you going?" Taylor asked me.

She looked me in my eyes, and it felt like she could see my soul. I held up my phone, so maybe she would think I had to return a call. She didn't say anything about it, so I walked out the front door and shut it behind me. I saw Seth leaning against his truck, and he looked up at me. He smiled as I walked up to him. He looked me up and down.

"You're dressed up," he pointed out.

"Taylor and I went out to eat. We got back about ten minutes ago," I explained.

"You look hot," he bit his lip

"Why are you here?" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Because I wanted to see you. Why can't I go inside?" he asked.

"Taylor is asleep, and I don't want to wake her up. She's a light sleeper," I lied.

"Do you want to go back to my place?" he suggested.

"I have work tomorrow. I was about to go change and go to sleep," I lied about the second part.

"Oh," he blankly.

"I can stay out here for a few minutes, though," I told him.

He stopped leaning on his truck and grabbed me by my waist. I placed my hands on the back of his neck as he leaned in. Our lips met and moved in sync. He backed up against his truck again without breaking the kiss. We stood there for a few more seconds before I pulled away slowly.

"I really should get back inside," I told him.

"I'll see you sometime soon?" he asked.

"Yeah. I'll let you know," I nodded.

He smiled before kissing me one more time. I pulled away, and we both smiled.

"Goodnight," I told him.

"Goodnight," he said back.

He held onto my hand until I got too far away, and then he let go. I walked up to the front door and turned around to look at him. I waved. He waved back before I went back inside. I quickly shut the door behind me before the Taylor and the guys could see out the door. Before I could even say anything, someone's lips were on mine. I was confused, but I couldn't pull away. I didn't want to. Then I thought about Seth for a split second before that thought disappeared. This wasn't cheating because Seth and I weren't dating. He had never asked me out. The kiss only lasted a few seconds. They pulled away, and I opened my eyes to see Jack.

"What. The. Heck," I said slowly.

He just smirked before returning to his seat on the couch. Taylor was acting like it was completely normal. I had a confused look on my face.

"We are playing truth or dare. Do you want to join?" Eben asked.

"Umm..." I was still trying to process what had just happened.

"Sit down and play," Taylor laughed.

I sat down in a recliner and took my wedges off again. Jack kept looking at me and smirking. I tried to not look at him because I knew if I did, I would start blushing like crazy.

"Hayden, truth or dare?" Jack asked me.

"Dare," I answered quickly.

"I dare you to serenade the person to your right," he said.

I looked to my right, and it was Taylor. I smiled at her, and she looked terrified.

"Oh god," Taylor groaned.

I stood up, walked over to her, and cleared my throat.

"Take a seat," I was laughing so I couldn't even sing, and I didn't even try. "Right over there, sat on the stairs, stay or leave, cabinets are bare and I'm unaware, of just how we got into this mess, got so aggressive, I know we meant our good intentions, so pull me closer, why don't you pull me close, come on over, I can't just let you go."

I paused.

"Baby! Why don't you just meet me in the middle!" I yelled. "I'm losing my mind just a little!"

Everyone was laughing.

"So why don't you just meet me in the middle! In the middle!" I finished.

I sat down, and everyone was trying to stop laughing.

"That was great," Taylor laughed.
