Saturday morning it was raining. Brittney found herself for the most part of the morning on the couch just watching cartoons, Saved By the Bell reruns, and MTV. She hadn't done much, in days besides going to school. And today, being this bored, just seemed to top the cake.
"I'm going to the store Brittney, did you want anything? Or, why don't you just come with me?" Karen suggested.
"Na, I'm not even dressed yet, besides, I'm too tired. Could you please get me the new YM?"
"Brittney you can't just sit on that couch all day long, it's almost 1 o'clock!"
"I'm fine, just please could you get me my magazine?"
"Ok, fine, yeah I'll get it. See you later, and for goodness sake, get dressed!" Karen ordered as she slamed the door.
Brittney never bothered to move. She just sat on her butt and nibbled on her chocolate chip cookies, homemade in fact. (She had a craving the night before, and she was quite proud of her creation.) She didn't have to face the world if she didn't want to this morning. She hadn't seen Josh since Wednsday, he was home with the flu, and she was just fine where she was.
At about 1:30 the door bell rang. Thinking her aunt would get the door, she just ingored it. But by the second ring she relized her aunt was at the store and she would have to answer it.
"Great" she growned.
She looked out the peep hole. It was Taylor! She looked down at the Winnie the Pooh on her pajamas that stared back at her. Brittney sighed and as she opened the door ever so slightly she stuck only her head out.
"Hey" he said.
"Hi Tay." she answered back.
"Umm, I'm sorry but can I come in?" he asked politly(sp?).
Brittney looked down at him. The poor guy, he was soaking wet from standing out in the rain so long. But there was no way that she could let him in, she wasn't even dressed yet!
"Tay, I'm not even dressed yet. " she answered honestly.
"Well, I need to ask you a favor..." Tay proceeded.
Looking at him, seeing she had no other option, she replied, "Um, ok. Just give me a minute, you can watch tv if you want..." With that she took off up the stairs probably the fastest she's ever run in her whole life.
With the door still just half way open, Taylor walked in. He took off his docs and hung up his drenched coat.
Ten minutes later, Brittney came down the stairs. But Tay didn't notice. he was too caught up in how Skreetch was going to get himself out of his latest situation. He was even eating Brittney's cookies!
"Taylor!" she yelled for the millionth time.
"OH!" he jumped as he finally noticed her.
"What did you want me to do for you?" Brittney said snatching the last cookie out of his hand and taking a bite.
"If you didn't know. Michelle and Brock broke up." Tay started.
"What!? When did this happen?"
"Last night."
" Why?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out."
"So what do you want me to do?"
"It's more like what we've got to do together.
'What do you mean?" Brittney asked while sitting down beside him.
"We have to get them back together. Brock won't shut up about her and I just think that if they... relized how much they like each other... then they might just... make up?"
Brittney looked at Tay. His blond hair claped togther at the ends by the pouring rain. He leaned forward and kissed her lips so lightly.
"Are you ok?" Taylor asked slightly confused.
A vision of Josh standing at her door on Wednsday night flashed through her mind.
"Brittney?" Taylor looked at her with concern.
She shook the image out of her mind and stared into his eyes.
"Taylor I need to tell you something...."
