"Come let's look for Mom and Dad. They will be surprised to see you." and she pulled Joe towards her parents.
"Mom Dad look who's here. It's Joe. Joe Alwyn." Andrea gave Joe a welcoming smile and a hug while Scott looked uninterested and gave a reluctant handshake to Joe.
Taylor and Joe exchanged confused looks and walked away after pleasantries with Andrea.
"What was that all about?" Taylor asked with concern. Joe just shrugged his shoulders and asked Taylor to dance. They held each and looked deep into each others eyes so happy to be together again.
"So my friend if you're free tomorrow would you like to take me around the city? I really miss the place."
"Of course my friend" Taylor responded eagerly. They danced the night away unmindful of people's eyes on them. They parted ways when the party was over exchanging phone information and Taylor's address before they parted.
As soon as Taylor got home she heard a ping on her cell announcing a text message.
J= "Hi Tay I hope you got home safely. I had a great time tonight".
T="Me too, I was expecting to be bored at the party but seeing you again made my night."
J="So I'll pick you up tomorrow at 10 am. Good night. Sleep tight".😉
T="Good night Joe. See you tomorrow". 😊
Taylor woke up refreshed and excited to spend the day with Joe. After a quick breakfast and shower she got ready for the day. She put on a floral sundress paired with a raffia and leather espadrille wedge sandals, minimal make up, pink lip gloss and styled her lustrous blonde hair in loose waves. She was checking her e mails when the doorbell rang. She excitedly opened the door to see the happy face of Joe.
"Hi , come in. Welcome to my humble abode" Then gave Joe a big hug which he reciprocated warmly. He checked her out and really liked what he saw. Taylor saw a good looking Joe dressed in a blue shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, blue denims and grey walking shoes. His hair is styled with the windblown look and his ocean blue eyes shining with happiness.
Taylor gave him a quick tour before they left her house. Joe drove to Central Park and they walked to the nearest food cart for coffee and shared a pretzel while walking in the park taking in the sites of people sunbathing, playing frisbees, family sharing laughs, lovers walking hand in hand, kissing heterosexual and homosexual couples that doesn't seem to bother New Yorkers.
They walked hand in hand into the Museum of Natural History and enjoyed the artifacts and exhibits in the museum. They were even able to take funny selfies posing like prehistoric animals and children having fun.
After the museum tour they headed for a light lunch at Patsy's Pizzeria sharing a margarita pizza and tiramisu for dessert sometimes feeding each other and laughing out loud. Onlookers were eyeing them and smiling at two people who really care for each other.
They walked to the nearest boutiques and enjoyed window shopping, trying on clothes and shoes and making fun of each other's looks and choices. They left empty handed which baffled Joe; most women couldn't pass beautiful clothes or shoes. Taylor could care less about her looks, she only care about being comfortable and feeling good about herself.
Taylor was looking closely at some beautiful designer clothes but put them back on the rack. "If you like it why don't you get it?" Joe asked her politely. " I don't pay retail, I buy things on sale. I would rather keep my money and donate to charity than splurge on material things" which really impressed Joe. The daughter of a millionaire yet frugal, funny, caring, beautiful beyond compare the guy she loves would be the luckiest man.
Joe was looking at some shirts but he put it back when he saw the price tag. Taylor saw that and told him to treat himself to something new. He shook his head " no way am I going to pay for such an expensive item just because it's got a popular designer's name on it." Instead he found something on sale and was happy with his purchase. He is the son of a millionaire yet he acts like just any frugal young working man. He is handsome, funny, kind lucky is the woman who wins his love.
It was close to 7pm when they got back to Taylor's apartment both tired but happy to be together again. " Joe do you want something to drink?"
"I'll mix a drink for both of us if you don't mind." Joe made an Old Fashioned which was so delicious. While sipping their drinks Taylor decided to whip up some simple dinner of burgers and fries. They enjoyed their food and drinks while talking about themselves and their life.
They had such fun talking and drinking that they didn't realize how late it was. "You can sleep on the guest bedroom if you want. It's really late. There's the bathroom down the hallway if you want to wash up."
After cleaning up the dishes and putting away liquor bottles , Taylor went to her room and put on a robe getting ready to shower. She is quite buzzed and out of habit she did not lock the bathroom door and left it slightly ajar. She was so engrossed in her shower that she did not hear the door open nor the sound of somebody using the toilet.
Joe walked into the bathroom unaware that Taylor is inside He used the toilet then saw Taylor in the shower in all her naked glory washing her hair. Joe stood there with the look of surprise and mesmerized by the vision in front of him.
Taylor opened her eyes and saw Joe only in his boxers staring and looking at her body. She screamed and tried to cover herself with her hands and hair but it didn't help. They were both blushing and embarrassed but unable to stop looking at each other. Finally Joe repeatedly said" I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Tay. I didn't know you were in here. I apologize" then hurriedly left the bathroom.
