Chapter 18


I walked across the lawn with Tara. There were about a total of 8 cars and vans in the Hanson driveway or in the street. Kirsten and David went over to their party earlier in the day and said they would back sometime in early morning. I wore the dress Tara had gotten me and she wore the outfit that Aunt Kirsten had gottin her. We both wore our hair down and I styled hers and she did mine. I wore a pair of blue high heels and she wore some navy blue ones. I was carrying my present for Taylor as well and she was carrying Ike's. Once we made it to the door we could hear the music being played on the stero and all the comotion. We both just let ourselves in to see the Hanson Household totally changed. There were Christmas decorations everywhere and to me looked like a school dance. There were alot of teenagers there that were friends of all the Hanson's. I walked around with Tara until she found Ike and then she left. I kept noticing out of the back of my eye there was always a guy looking or even staring at me. I didn't let it bother me and just kept searching for Tay. The house was packed and there were people from the age of 12 - 19 there. It was pretty cool. I walked into the kitchen to see tons of guys grabbing food of platers and there were two big coolers there too. I took a look in one and noticed the beer. I turned around only to find Taylo staring at me.

"Hey!" I said so he could hear me over the music. His mouth was wide opened and his eyes were scanning me like a picture scanner. He looked so hot! He was wearing a tight white t-shirt with a button down blue shirt. He had on a pair of black leather pants too. I gave him a little nudge in the shoulder to keep him from staring any longer. "C'mon. come back to planet earth now, Tay." I said. He blinked and gave me a quick hug.

"You look very hot, Ali." He said to me while looking over me again.

"You don't look to bad yourself there." He smiled.

"C'mon, let's go dance." He said while grabbing my hand and pulling me into the other room. The fast song playing winded down and Weird came on. The crowd all seemed to grab another person and dance with them. All the couples not dancing sat along the walls in chairs or couches making out. I heard from another girl at the mall the other day that everyonce in a while this party becomes known as the sex party of the year. I guess there were several parties during the year that are like this but this is mostly the biggest one. We rocked back and forth to the song. Taylor's hands kept creeping south from my waist but I didn't care. I had my arms around his neck and my head on his chest. Taylor softly sang the words into my ear as the song drifted out and a faster song came up. We seperated and took each others hands.

"Hey, I have your present!" I said as I pulled him back into the kitchen. It was sitting right where I had left it next to the beer cooler. I handed him it. He smiled and ripped the paper off of it. He looked at it confused so I explained.

"That is both of Wishful Thinkings independent recordings. We made one this summer and one two summers ago." His smile spread across his face as he gave me a hug.

"Now, when I don't see you I can still hear your voice." I smiled thinking how glad I was with Taylor. He pulled a beer out of the cooler behind me and popped it open. He took a sip. "Here, try some." He said handing it to me. I hesitated and then took it. I glugged dome of it down and handed it back. He placed it on the table. "C'mon, I want to go put these upstairs in my room." I nodded in agreement and followed him out of the kitchen. As we walked along the side of the walls I noticed how the people making out were mostly drunk and all over each other. Taylor grabbed my hand as we jogged up the steps. There were couples everywhere upstiars. In rooms, in the hall, in the bathroom even. Taylor grabbed the knob on the door only to find it was locked. He knocked on the door knowing it must be Ike. We waited a while hearing comotion going on. Finally Ike opened the door.

"Hey guys, what's up?" He said all to sarcasticly. His hair was a little messed up and I don't know if he noticed but his button down shirt was inside out. Taylor waked into the room and I followed. Tara shot up off Zac's trundle she was obviously just laying on.

"Um...Hey guys." She said. For some reason her shirt was also inside out. Taylor let a out a little laugh and placed the CD's on his bed.

"Um...Sorry to bother you two." Taylor said while I walked out of the door with him following me. He closed the door and we both started to crack up. "We must have been intruding on something I don't think I wanted to see." He said in between laughs. It just made me laugh harder as we both walked down the steps. As we walked down the slow song stopped and a fast one started. "Do you want me to get you a beer?" He asked me. I thought and then nodded. He jogged off towards the kitchen as I stood by the door. I waited a couple moments until he returned with two cans. I took one from him and opened it. I took a sip not quite sure how I felt about it. After a couple sips I felt it was good and drank the whole can faster than I had thought. "You want to dance or go outside?" He asked me.

"Let's go outside. It is so hot in here." He took my hand as we proceeded to the double doors in the back of the house. Surprisingly there was no one outside. We could hear the music playing softly inside. He pulled me into the usual dancing stance. We rocked back forth alone on the deck. The cold air kept on giving me goose bumps but the feeling of Taylor's warm arms around me made me warm. Taylor's grip around my waist got tighter by the second. As the song faded out and another one played I looked up into Taylor's eyes. They were glicining with happiness. He placed his lips softly against mine. He slowly made the kiss more passionate. As we stood there I felt his hands sliding up and down my back and legs. I felt his hands going up the slit on the side of my dress. I ran my fingers through his hair and pulled him closer to me. Thoughts ran through my haed at a mile a minute. I'm way to young to be going farther than this but I love him so much! I promised I wouldn't make love until I was ready and not this young. What am I doing!? I'm gonna just cause trouble going further. Suddenly I felt my back leaning aginst the wall of the house. I leaned on it for support knowing my legs would have given out. Taylor's lips left mine and traveled to my neck where he placed small kisses along my collar bone. He went up and down my straps of my dress before returning to my lips. The kisses were of pure love and longing. The kisses grew so much more passionate in such little time. Taylor's hands continued to roam my body all over. I felt as if he woulg never stop which didn't bother me any. This was what I wanted the thought of my age kept creeping on me. Just then Taylor stopped and pulled away. He took my hand and pulled me across the lawn. I knew what he was doing and I guess he knew I felt the same way he did then. He opened the gate in between our yard and we proceeded up on the back deck of my house. He opened the back door. We walked up the stairs and into my bed room. Taylor closed the door behind me gently. He pulled me back into his arms and kissed me passionatly. His hands ran further up my slit in my dress. I let my hands once again run through his hair. I pulled him more into me. I felt my leg hit the edge of my bed. I let go of Tay as I laid down on the bed. Taylor climbed on top of me and kissed me more and more. Taylor moved his hands to the back of my dress where he started to undo the buttons.

"I'm sorry Taylor." I pushed him off of me. I sat up on the edge of my bed and put my face in my hands. I was sweating now and breathing heavily. I felt cold sweat running down my face and in my hair. He sat up next to me and put his arm around my shoulder.

"It's okay, Ali. I'm sorry I pushed you." I looked up still having my one hand on my cheek. Looking into his eyes I saw that he was truly sorry. I pulled him in a hug. He sqeezed me tightly and let go. "So what next?" He asked me. I yawned slightly.

"I'm really tired, Tay." He smiled at me and gave me a small kiss. He started to get up but I grabbed his hand. He turned toward me. "Will you stay with me?" He nodded. I laid back down and he laid next to me. My back was against his stomach and his arm was draped around my waist. I turned my face to him. "Thank you." I told him.

"I'll wait forever for you." I smiled and gave him a small kiss.

Tara walked across the lawn fixing her shirt. Ike had fallen asleep before she left the house. Her and Ike had gone pretty far. She left the house at 3:51 a.m. She looked all over the house for Ali but people said her and Taylor left the house around midnight. She opened the back door to the house quietly. Aunt Kirsten and Uncle David weren't home yet. She tossed her shoes in the pile of others and jogged up the stairs. She opened the bedroom only to find Ali and Tay sound asleep holding each other. She sighed and walked over to the bed. She nudged Ali's shoulder until she finally awoke. She stretched but she couldn't move much because Taylor's arms. Tara sat down on her bed across from Ali.

"I've been looking everywhere? What happened and where did you go?" Tara questioned.

"We went outside and danced for awhile. Then we got kinda serious if you know what I mean. We came back here and we were so close but then I said no. We fell asleep around 1a.m. I think." Ali was obviously beat because she couldn't seem to stop yawning.

"Well you better get around anyways since your flight leaves in two hours." Ali sighed and looked to the ground. Tara could tell she didn't want to leave but it was all settled that it had to happen. "Well I'm gonna go take a shower in the other bathroom." Tara got up and proceeded to the door. She turned around and looked at the two of them once again. There they were lying in each others arms. She was just in that position not to long ago and wondered if her and Ike would stay together. She walked down the dark empty hall and closesd the bathroom door.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I rolled over so I was facing Tay. He looked so innocent holding me in his arms. I placed a soft kiss on his lips causing his eyes to open. He smiled at me and gave me a kiss in return.

"I've gotta get ready." I whispered to him. He sighed heavily and sat up. I slowly sat up next to him. My dress was all wrinkled and slightly out of place. Taylor's over shirt was lying next to the bed. He picked it up as I stood up. I was about to walk into the bathroom when Tay pulled my arm back. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me. This sudden erge scared me at first but then I thought he just wants a hug. I squeezed him.

"Ali, please never leave me." He whispered softly into my ear. I heard him sniffle trying to hold back tears I knew he had welled up inside. I as well had tears but didn't let them fall. He was beckoning for me to come back to him.

"I'll come back, Tay. I promise."
