"Ohmigod! What are you doing here Ike?!" Taylor sai glaring and yelling at his brother. I was in shock he was here. I noticed my robe wasn't revealing anything private but was pretty damn close. I stood up and wrapped the robe tight around my body while stepping toward Tay. "You and I need to talk!" Ike yelled. I understood this as a 'Ali you need to leave' sign. "I'll go change." Both guys nodded in agreement. I walked slowly up the stairs as I noticed Taylor's eyes following my every move and then Ike's eyes still glaring at Tay. I walked in my room and closed the door behind me. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "What in God's name are you even doing here, Ike?" Taylor asked him reducing his voice to less than the previous yell. "Tara called me the yesterday and we talked for a long time. I thought I'd come out here and hang out with everyone and leave with you on Saturday morning. But enough about me. What do you think you were doing?" Now the talk was the whispered yelling type. Taylor gazed to the top of the stairs and toward Ali's door. "Ike, I love her." Taylor said with much meaningfulness (is that even a word :) "Tay, you don't even know what love is." Isaac said flatly. "I don't know what love is! I'll explain to you what love is! Love is when you think constantly of the her. Love is when you don't care about the outside but the inside that counts. Love is when you think about the future you see that girl with you. Love is when you are in a room with thousands of girls and all you see is her and no one else. Love is not just a one way road. Love is given away and recivied from that girl. Ali loves me and I know it." Ike's glare changed to a look to the ground. "Obviously you guys love each other but what about what I saw. I mean I feel the same way dad felt at Christmas." Isaac said looking Tay in the eyes. "Ike, even if you had not come in on us we would not of had sex. We both feel too young to have that. Besides that we are only 14 years old and it would be even worse if she go pregnant. But anyways it still would not of happened." Isaac looked long into Tay's eyes. "I believe you." Ike finally said with a sigh. Isaac shook his head to clear his thoughts. "So away from the whole arguement. The real reason I came here was to see what you two are doing tonight." "Well Ali told me we are staying in tonight with Cordelia and her boyfriend renting a movie. Do you and Tara want to join us? I'm sure it's no problem." "Sure." Ike looked around the room. "Man, her dad must have some major bucks!" The room had some of the most expensive furniture and sculptures. It had blue sponged walls matching the black leather couches. The T.V. was huge too along with the many chests of China. "You haven't even seen her bedroom. She's got like everything a girl could want." Taylor thought for a moment 'Except a family'. Ali opened the door to her room and stepped out. She wore a pair of leather red pants and a black long sleeve shirt. Her hair was down and curled under like normal. "Is it safe now?" She asked half expecting a loud NO to come. Instead she got two nodds of heads. Surprised she walked down the stairs and over to the guys. The questioning look on her face made Ike explain. "Everythings Cool. And Tay invited Tara and I over tonight." Ali remembered they were goin to bundle and that was why she hadn't invited Tara. Ike hadn't been there so Tara would have felt like an outsider but since Ike was here it was okay. Bundling is an old amish costum. Couples would just wrap up in blankets in front of a fire place and spend the night in each others arms. They were just goin' to put some of that in the 90's and and a movie to it. "Sure and it would be wise to bring some extra clothes. When we were all younger we would just fall asleep wrapped alone in blankets. More than likely we'll just sleep here tonight." Isaac nodded in agreement. "What time should we be over?" He asked. "About 6:00 would be good. We'll make some dinner before we watch the movie." "All right, then we'll be here." Ike answered. Ali and Tay followed him to the door and watched him drive away. Ali still didn't feel at ease not knowing what was said but figured it was case closed and opening it was wrong. Ali and Tay stood on the porch waving goodbye. When the car was out of sight Ali wrapped her arms around Taylor's waist. Taylor wrapped his arms around her neck and ran his fingers through her soft hair. Ali laid her head across his chest. "We'll always be together, no matter what happens with Hanson or wether the press finds out." Taylor told her. A lone tear rolled down Ali's cheek. "Let's go inside before we freeze." It was true. The air outside was very chilly and little snow lay on the ground. They parted and grasped each other hands as they walked in the house just as the phone rang. Ali sprinted up the stairs and grabbed the cordless while sitting at the swivel chair in the bar. "Hey there, Ali." "Hi Walker." She said shockley (is this a word :) "Is Taylor there?" He asked. "Yeah hold on." She looked at Tay as he walked over and sat at the chair across from Ali. "It's your dad." She said while handing him the phone. He took it and put it up to his ear. "Hey Dad......Yeah everythings fine.....Uh-huh.........Yeah, dad......Okay.....Ya-huh...Alrighty laters!" Taylor pressed the off on the phone and handed it back. "What did he want?" Ali asked while putting the phone back on the pad. "Just making sure Ike got here okay and how I was doing. He worries too much." He took Ali's hands and intangled his fingers around hers. They sat staring in each others eyes. Ali thoughts went ot Richard. Only one more day with Tay and possibly Life. Terrible thought. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "What do you want to do?" Tay asked taking his eyes off Ali. She looks beautiful and staring in her eyes was only adding yerning to him. "Are you hungury? I can make us some of my famous Chicken and Rice." Ali answered. To Taylor it looked impossible that those wonderful eyes had cried so many tears. "Sure. That sounds good. Besides I need to know for the future wether your a good cook." Ali cracked a smile and jumped off the stool. The future. What a strange term it seemed to her. She walked over and opened the pantry door pulling out a can of Cream of Chicken and the box of rice. "Why don't you put on the news so we can see what it's suppose to be like tomorrow." Ali closed the door as she saw Tay jump off his stool and turn on the T.V. They just made the weather. "Tomorrow's day looks really bad. We are tracking a Winter Storm that should hit Toledo in the very early morning of Friday. Expect at least 10 inches of snow covered with 2 inches of Ice. The Storm is a level 4 storm meaning no going outside of the house unless a major emergency. Thank you and stay tuned to Channel 13 News." Dan Rather said from the T.V. Taylor turned around with a wide grin on his face. "We are gonna be snowed in!!! Cool!!! And just think with all that snow the airports will be closed." Ali's heart sank. Oh man! Even worse for her now. Oh well ya just gotta go with the flow. "Wanna help me get this place hommie looking?" Taylor walked over to her as she was leaning against the counter she had placed the ingredients on. "Sure. What do you want me to do?" He questioned. "Well. In the upstairs closet we have tons of blankets, pillows, and a couple blow up matrices. Bring those down and then we can start making stuff for the party." Ali told him. He nodded and jogged up the stairs. Ali swallowed the buldge in her neck with a sigh. She quickly returned to making the food as alone tear rolled down her cheek. Chapter 25 Back Home
