toxic. || t.c

two

I open my car door and step out as the cold air hits my face. I shut the door and lock it before walking up to the porch and going in without knocking considering its Brooke's house, I basically live here. and im late so everyone else is probably here already. I slip off my boots and walk downstairs to the basement, and as I guessed everyone is sitting on the couches talking and being loud.

it's just us and the boys as brooke promised, except I don't see taylor. not that I actually mind.

"look who's finally here." carter said loud to get everyone's attention.

"oh wow I thought you were gonna bail." brooke said surprised. I rolled my eyes.

"whatever." i scoffed and sat next to her.

"is this everyone?" i questioned.

"almost, taylor went to get drinks." Noah replied.

"oh."

and as if it was on que, we heard the front door shut and taylor walked down the stairs with a bunch of alcohol.

"wow, you're finally back." Caitlin said standing up and taking a beer as he handed them out.

once he got to me I simply shook my head.

"c'mon, live a little." he wined.

I roll my eyes and took one.

"fine."

I opened the bottle but I only took a few sips occasionally. everyone was talking and I zoned out of the conversation and thought of things on my own until I felt the couch sink on the other side of me. I turned my head to see taylor looking right at me.

"hey beautiful." he smiled.

"um, hi." it honestly surprised me how fast his attitude can change in one day. earlier he was pretty much trying to get me to sleep with him.

"stop acting so good, let loose." he said and nudged the beer bottle in my hand.

"why, so you can see me make a fool of myself?" I say raising my eyebrows.

"something like that."

"sorry about your luck, but I have to drive home and I can't really afford to get in an accident because i drank too much because you told me to."

"it's a Friday night. just stay here." he shrugged. I rolled my eyes as he stared at me, and it was annoying me.

"whatever." i rolled my eyes again and took a big gulp of the substance.

"there you go, and stop rolling your eyes, they're gonna fall out of your head." he smirked.

"whatever." i half smiled before taking another big drink.

"guys, let's play truth or dare!" nina slurred. she was probably already drunk considering she's the alcoholic of the group. everyone agreed and we all ended up sitting on the floor. I was still next to taylor, but this time carter was on the other side of me, not brooke.

"okay, who wants to start?" brooke asks.

" I will!" taylor volunteers. everyone looks at him and he scans the room.

"hmm.. carter truth or dare?" he asks.

"uh, truth." he replies. taylor thinks a minute before speaking.

"if you could make out with anyone in the room right now, who would it be?" he smirks. I laugh slightly because I already know the answer to this.

"uh, brooke." he shrugs. a couple of ooo's and ah's spread around the room.

"alright, ade, truth or dare." he says looking at me.

"im gonna go with truth for this one." I say.

"okay, are you still a virgin?" he asks.

"yepp." i answer and I swear it feels like everyone is surprised. i shrug and look around the circle.

"brooke, truth or dare." I ask.

"dare." she says confidentially.

"I dare you to sit on carters lap for the rest of the game." I smile at her & she turns red. I know she has a thing for him, and as she walks over to him she glares at me, causing me to laugh.

"alright, taylor. truth or dare?" she asks him.

"dare." he replies.

"I dare you to take Adriana upstairs to the guest bedroom for 15 minutes, and you have to time it yourself." she smirks and i glare at her, but of course taylor jumps at the opportunity and grabs my hand, leading me upstairs.

when we walk in he shuts the door and looks at me.

"you know we're not actually gonna do anything, right?" I ask.

"I know, but they don't have to know that." he winks. I catch on and smile.

"taylor, oh taylor!" I yell. he jumps on the bed & pounds on the wall a couple times and we both moan each other's names loudly a couple times. about 14 minutes pass by and I look at my phone.

"we've got a minute." I say.

"actually two, we have to be a little late." he laughs. I giggle and look at him.

"oh & hold on." he says taking off his t-shirt, I don't mean to but I catch myself staring at his abs.

"take a picture princess, it lasts longer." he winks and puts his shirt on backwards. I roll my eyes and open the door.

"let's gooo." he coos grabbing my hand and leading me back down stairs.

"well it's about time, my god." brooke says with disgust.

"I think you had a little too much fun up there." Caitlin says slowly noticing taylors shirt. I act embarrassed but really i want to burst into laughter.

"nice shirt bro." carter says pointing it out. everyone laughs and taylor acts embarrassed.

I guess taylor really isn't that bad of a guy after all.
