Jake and Taylor: A Love Story

Chapter 17: Taylor

-Taylor's Point of View-

I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. Again it was probably Andie with some new drama. I sit up and rub my eyes as I stretch then reach across my bed to pick up my phone, but I run into something. A large, snoring, body. Of course the thought of 'Hey it's just my boyfriend' does not run through my head.

I scream and jump out of bed grabbing a pair of heels from my floor and throwing one of them at the sleeping body. He jumps up and looks around nervously, but also like he might attack someone, "What? Why did you scream?" He asks after seeing that there isn't anyone else in the room.

"Oh my god! Jake! I thought you were- never mind." He looks at me confused, rubbing the spot on his arm where I hit him with a shoe. I laugh in relief and drop the other shoe on the floor. I walk over to him, crossing my arms, "You scared the shit out of me."

"I'm sorry." He says as he gives me his amazing half grin. I love when he looks at me like that.

"It's OK." I say laughing at him, turning towards my closet. I slept in a dress shirt and skirt which are both super wrinkled. Lovely. I pull out a pair of black yoga pants and a grey v-neck. I turn around to Jake and motion at him with my finger for him to turn around. Instead he just smiles at me and walks out the door to his own room. Picking up his jeans and shirt on the way.

I slip out of my clothes and put on my shirt and pants. Way more comfortable. After changing I walk out to the living room and find Rex fast asleep on the rug. Jake must have gotten him last night. Jake is standing in the kitchen pouring two cups of coffee.

"Mmmm coffee," I say as I walk up behind him and take the cup he offers me, "Thanks Hun."

"You are very welcome." He says smiling at me and leaning his back against the counter, putting one hand around my waist pulling me close, the other hand holding his favorite coffee mug.

His eyes are dazzling, I could really look at them for hours. They are so mesmerizing I almost didn't notice that he had put on a pair of sweatpants and an Avengers t-shirt. Jake is such a nerd sometimes. He has not only has Avengers clothing but also Batman, The Big Bang theory, Spider man, and Iron Man.

"So what time are my two favorite people getting here?" I ask still laughing to myself about his nerdy shirt.

"Are you making fun of me?" He asks pretending to be surprised and hurt, "You know I'm sensitive!" 

I laugh at him some more and rest my head on his chest. He chuckles to himself and kisses me on the head then whispers softly, "I can take it, I'm a big boy."

I look up at him about to make a comment about his shirt when the doorbell rings. Jake sighs and stands up straight taking his hand away from my waist. He sets his cup down on the counter and walks to the door pushing Rex gently out of the way, "Shut up dumb ass dog!" he says as Rex jumps up on his leg, barking like a maniac.

I smile and start taking down a couple bowls and the cereal. On Sunday mornings Jake and I always have cereal. We are kind of weird like that. The door opens and I hear excited screaming as two women walk into the apartment pulling Jake into a tight hug. They stand there hugging and telling each other how much they love each other then Lily sees me and comes half skipping towards me setting down her bags down on the floor.

"Taylor!" She says wrapping me in her arms

"Hi Lily!" I say smiling and hugging her back, Lily is one on the greatest people in the world. She is taller than me, her red hair falls just past her shoulders and her smile could make anyone smile. For all the shit she has been through in her life she is such a peppy person.
