Age Is Just A Number

Chapter Eighteen

Hayley groaned as she opened her eyes. It was to bright.

"Hayley? Are you up?" She heard Tays sweet voice and immediately perked up. She didn't know she stayed the night.

"Yeah." She croaked out. God, her throat hurt.

Tay entered the room dressed in one of Hayley's old tshirts and a pair of her shorts. She smiled. "Hungover?"

Hayley ran her fingers through her hair and nodded. "Yeah...god. I forgot how much it sucks."

Tay laughed and handed her a glass of water and two Advil. "Here, take these and when you feel like you can move come join me in the kitchen."

Hayley accepted the water and pills and took them quickly. After a few moments she found enough strength to drag herself out of bed and follow Tay.

When she entered the kitchen she was greeted with a plate of pancakes and scrambled eggs. "Oh my god, I love you." Hayley said as she accepted the plate and pecked Tay on the lips before sitting at the table and digging in. "So what exactly happened last night? The last thing I remember is Alex slapping my ass."

Tay laughed as she remembered last nights events. "Someone gets really horny when she's drunk."

Hayley's eyes widened as she took in both her and Tays attire. They were both in sleep clothes. Oh no.

"We didn't...?" She questioned but Tay just laughed. "No. Well, we started to."

"But?"

"But someone fell asleep before things got really heated."

Hayley bit her lip and blushed. "That's really embarrassing."

Tay sat next to Hayley at the table with her own plate of food. She kissed her cheek before beginning to eat.

"It's okay. I'm glad you fell asleep. I wanted to wait but, you're kinda hard to say no to."

Hayley smiled at that. "Oh really? I'm that irresistible?"

Tay threw some of her eggs at Hayley. "Shh. Be quiet and eat."

Hayley threw eggs back at her. "Make me."

Tay smirked and then jumped into Hayley's lap. It happened so fast they couldn't stop from falling. Tay laid on top of her and pinned her hands above her head.

"Don't challenge me women. I'll always win."

Hayley smirked. "Oh yeah? I bet you couldn't kiss me right now."

"I said don't challenge me." She said as she leaned in.

"Hayley! I came for our yearly scary movie marath-"

Tay jumped off Hayley in terror. Before her stood a man with a well maintained beard dressed in a blue button up with a bow tie.

"Whoa, uhh. My bad. Sorry Orange."

Hayley laughed and then stood and walked over to the man and enveloped him in a hug. "Hey Jer. It's okay. I totally forgot that was today."

Jeremy nodded toward Tay. "Is that who I think it is?" Hayley giggled. "Yeah. Come here Tay."

Tay stood and rubbed the back of her neck. "Jeremy this is Tay. Tay this is Jeremy. My best friend."

Tay nodded. "Uh, nice to meet you."

He smiled at her. "You were not what I was expecting when Hayley said 17. Nice to meet you too."

Tay blushed at his comment. So Hayley had been talking about her to her best friend as well? It made her a bit nervous just because of the situation but it was nice to know that Hayley talked about her.

"So, horror movie marathon. You down?"

Hayley nodded. "Of course."

"Tay," Jeremy started, "would you like to join us?"

Tay shook her head. "No it's okay. Horror movies freak me out and I should get home anyways. My parents think I stayed at Jenna's."

"Yuck. Parents still control your life. I'm gonna go pick the movie. You kids say your goodbyes." Jeremy said and exited the kitchen.

Hayley pouted. "You really can't stay?"

Tay pecked Hayley's lips but shook her head. "No. I need to get home before Jenna burst through my door unannounced looking for me. My parents would flip shit if they find out I wasn't with her."

Hayley sighed. "Fine, I'll see you Monday?"

Tay nodded "I'll see you Monday."

A/N: Just a filler chapter until the next one where all hell breaks loose. I hope you're excited for it because I am.
