"It was great," Zac smiled, he had been talking about snow boarding for the past hour since he had gotten home.
"We know Zac, " Isaac rolled his eyes, he leaned sleepily against Megan and yawned. Lindsay sat on the couch next to Lucy who was taking her stress out on a pillow she was strangling. Lindsay's gaze traveled to Taylor who was sitting by the fire with Faith, whispering things that made her smile and blush. Lindsay frowned in discuss and looked to Ryan. He was reading a book and sitting on an easy chair, his eyebrows would pop up and he would begin reading quickly every so often, not even noticing her.
Must be a good book, she thought.
"Anyway, " Zac continued, "tonight she asked me to go snowboarding again, during twilight ski hour." Zac grinned mischievously.
"How the hell are you going to ski in the dark?" Megan asked, looking up from her hot chocolate.
"There are some lights, besides the stars are alot brighter out here than in Tulsa," Zac explained, " oh yeah, and if you guys want to come, you can.....other wise it'll be just me and Kris....in the dark...."
"I'll go," Lucy spoke up almost choking on her soda. Everyone stared at her.
"YOU want to go?" Zac spoke in utter discuss, he couldn't believe she actually said yes. He seemed a little harsher then he meant to and Lucy's eyebrows narrowed.
"Yes, I want to go," she answered back.
"Well, that's great....." Megan and Lindsay exchanged looks, "Hey Luc, can I talk to you in the other room for a minute," Megan asked pulling her and her sister into the bedroom.
"Luc, are you sure about this?" Megan frowned once the door was closed.
"Of course I......" Lucy fell backwards onto the bed, "HAVE ABSOLUTELY LOST MY MIND!!! How can I do this, I can't even ski, and this is with just ONE ski and NO poles, I'm going to like kill myself, in the dark even, I can't go, it's like SUICIDE!!!!"
"Look, you shouldn't have said anything, you know how Zac goes through his stupid crushes," Lindsay reasoned.
"Hey, who's known him longer?" Lucy protested, "They're not little things."
"Whatever, but..."
"And that girl he's been hanging out with, Kristen, she like hates me! She shot me a look of death, I thought she was trying to push me over with her eyes or something, if she has that thing that the girl in Carrie had, I'm not going, I'll probably be found in some ditch three months later."
"She doesn't hate you....it's just...."
"Ditch the Abercrombie," Megan finished for Lindsay.
"Why?" Lucy looked down at her shirt.
"Because that's probably exactly what she has against you." Megan smiled and left to let her thing about that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taylor sat on the couch in-between Faith and Lindsay. Lindsay was repainting her nails, and Faith was on the phone with someone. The whole thing was making him uncomfortable.
Shit, how could my position be any worse? Taylor thought as he squirmed on the couch.
Zac sat on the chair, watching the clock. Twilight hour, evidently lasted more than just an hour, it was from 8:30 to 1:00, going right past twilight, and skiers and boarders were free to rent and go up on the slopes during that time.
Remains of a pizza were on the coffee table, after Ike had burned their supper. Isaac and Megan where sitting in front of the TV playing the Playstation that Zac set up.
"Helloo!!!" Kristen burst in through the front door. Zac smiled in the first time in a few hours.
"Sorry, I hope I'm not interrupting anything, I mean it's just I got done with my guitar lesson so soon and I was bored..." Kristen sat on the couch and heard a squeak, she let out a yelp and pulled a Furby from between the cushions.
"Patricia, Zac aren't you supposed to be taking care of that?" Lucy answered from the table, not even looking up from her notebook she was drawing in.
"It's...my sisters.." Zac explained turning red.
"Oh, I've seen these things, they're cute." Kristen laughed. Lucy rolled her eyes and got up and left the room. Taylor scooped up the pizza boxes and brought them into the kitchen, on his way he saw her notebook and looked in. There was a picture of a few stick figures going up a mountain, and one was falling off of the mouton. Taylor's eyebrows popped up, the one that was falling has huge goggles on and a pair of pants that were practically parachuting her down.
"Oh Luc?" Taylor asked as he stopped by her in the kitchen. "Demented are we?"
"No, we are not," she snapped and grabbed the book from him.
"I think someone's demented AND jealous," Taylor teased as he grabbed a Coke from the refrigerator and sat down at the table.
"I am NOT jealous!" she insisted.
"Sure."
"I'm not."
"I believe you."
"I am."
"Haha! Told you!"
"Shut up!" she said and stood. "I am going for a walk before I kill myself tonight."
"Okie day Luc, just don't kill yourself before you get the chance to fall to your death," he laughed as she walked out of the house.
------------------------------------------
"You play guitar?" Isaac asked Kristen as she sat beside Zac on the floor.
"Yeah... I'm not very good. AJ, my dad, and my teacher gives me lessons," she said with a shy smile.
"Play us something," he said.
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I left my guitar at my house."
"I have mine," he said as he went and retrieved his guitar from his room.
He smiled as he opened the gleaming case and took out the most expensive looking guitar Kristen had ever seen. It was an acoustic one, she saw. "It's... beautiful," she said as she looked at the glossy paneling on it.
"I know," he smiled at her and handed it to her.
She adjusted it and looked at the people in the room. With a deep breath she strummed the opening chords of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. By the end of the song, everyone was looking at her in awe. "I thought you weren't very good?" Lindsay asked.
"I'm not... really..." she said, her face turning red as she handed it back to Isaac.
"Do another," Isaac said refusing the guitar?
"OK," she said and closed her eyes as she tried to remember the beat and chords of 'Another Brick in the Wall'. With the last chord played, she opened her eyes and saw the utter amazement on their faces.
"Wow..." Taylor said. Kristen's eyes looked over to the doorway and saw him looking at her. "That's better than IKE!"
"Hey!" Isaac said.
"Thanks..." she said and smiled at Taylor.
"That's great..." Zac smiled at her. "You're really good!"
"Thanks," she said and blushed.
Taylor walked in and sat down in the floor with Zac and her. "You think you could teach me that?"
"Sure!" she said with a gleam in her eyes. "Anytime."
"How bout tomorrow?" he asked and smiled, happy for another musician that was female in the house.
"Sounds good," she smiled. Kristen felt the beginnings of a major crush starting to form, and Zac felt the beginnings of a jealousy towards Taylor.
-------------------------------------
Megan and Lindsay sat in their room, helping reassure Lucy that she would live through the night. Though Lucy doubted she could make it. Each gave her reassurance and helped dress her.
"Don't worry," Lindsay said, "Zac's not her type, besides, she's going out with AJ."
"Yeah, AJ's a sweet heart. You have nothing to worry about," Megan agreed. "Besides, I think she likes Tay."
"Really?" Lucy asked hopefully.
"Really," Megan laughed. "Don't sound so hopeful."
"She likes Tay?" Lindsay asked as her heart sank. She can't like Tay ... she thought to herself.
"I think so," Megan said. "I could be wrong."
"What would Faith say?" Lindsay asked.
"Just laugh probably," Lucy said. "He doesn't like her. Faith is so much more prettier and nicer. She doesn't want to kill me."
"I dunno," Megan said and laughed. "Must her be so against her?"
"Yeah, she hates me," Lucy said.
"She doesn't hate you," Lindsay laughed.
"I think so," Lucy sighed as she sat down on the bed waiting for Zac.
"Tay did give her a few looks though..." Megan said. "Kristen IS known for being a hit with the guys any how."
"No..." Lindsay said. She knew how well Kristen was with guys, but she refused to let Taylor even think of liking her.
"But Tay loves Faith," Megan said. "Just happy to have a friend probably."
"Probably," the others agreed as Zac knocked on the door.
"I'm gonna die," Lucy said as she walked out the door to meet Zac. The others laughed.
---------------
"Hey we got the movie!!!" Isaac yelled running into the living room, it had been about an hour since Kristen had left with her new students, and everyone was lounging around the couches trying to think of something to do.
"Great, what movie?" Faith asked, returning from the kitchen with a huge bowl of popcorn. Megan smiled after returning from the car and closing the front door behind her.
"Urban Legend, " *authors note* hehehe wink wink, I'm gonna scare the crap outta myself writing about this! " Megan answered.
"Cool, I haven't seen that yet," Taylor sat down on a recliner near the television. Faith sat down on his lap, Taylor seemed a little suprised, and Lindsay seemed steamed. Faith swung her legs over and just sat sideways on Taylor like a regular seat. Taylor felt a little used, but smiled anyways. Hey, she's on top of you...go with it man....he thought. Lindsay frowned, and smashed herself next to Ryan who still was aloof at the time, looked up and smiled.
"Oh hey Linds." He smiled. Lindsay smiled back, well if I can't have Tay, he'll certainly do, she thought.
"Put it in, I'm up for a scary movie." Megan said sitting on the floor, leaning on the couch, having the pillows keep herself up.
"Okay," Isaac popped the video in and sat down on the floor next to Megan.
------------------------------------------------------
"Oh dude that is sooo cool!" Zac screamed, frailing his arms around like a bird, watching Kristen's every move. Lucy looked up and shot them both a look, that neither of them saw.
Ugh, grrr bitch bitch bitch dammit damn snow shoe, god damn snow, why the hell did I even go, that little jerk off doesn't even know I'm here, well not since that little skank got here, grrr grr I'm getting my goddamn pants dirty, ARGH!!! Lucy thought bitterly, as she brushed snow off her blue Abercrombie and Fitch trackpants, that she purposly wore.
"Okay, just put your left foot..." Kristen instructed Zac, who obviously purposly didn't get it and purposly fell over onto her. Purposly putting his hands out to "break his fall".
"Sorry," Zac blushed, as he got up and helped her up.
"It's s'ok, happens to all beginggers." Kristen smiled.
"Yeah I'll bet..." Lucy mumbled and fell tripped over herself, forgeting the snow shoes she had on. Zac didn't notice, but Kristen exstended her hand to help her up.
"Your welcome." she said as Lucy stood up on her own, brushing her clothes off, "Nice pants."
"Thank you, I picked them out myself."
-----------------------------------------------------
"OMIGOD!!! THEY KILLED JOSHUA JACKSON!!!! GOD DAMN YOOOOOUU!!!!" Megan screamed throwing popcorn at the screen, everyone stared at her, "What? You guys don't like him?"
"Uh.." Isaac shook his head, and smiled to himself as he pulled her down to sit so people could still watch the movie.
"Oh gross, I hate this gory stuff," Faith burried her head in Taylor's shirt. Taylor doubted, that she knew what she was doing to him, sitting on his lap and moving around and such, but whatever it was,Taylor was still smiling.
"Do we have any more popcorn?" Lindsay got up off the couch and headed for the kitchen with the empty bowl in her hand.
"Sure, I'll show you, " Isaac got up from the floor, he had to move or Megan was going to cut the circluation off his hand from squeezing it everytime something jumped out.
"It's up here," Isaac reached up and grabbed a box of Popsecret from the cabinet, as Lindsay dumped the unpopped kernals into the trash.
"Hey I love this song," Lindsay smiled, turning up a N'Sync song that just came on the radio.
"Ugh, get it off," Isaac shook his head and tried to change the station.
"No way, I like this," Lindsay slapped his hand away,as they both started to quarrel over the station.
"WAIT!!" Isaac screamed, pulling her hand away.
"Tonights weather forcast....unusal for weather in April, but I've been imformed that there will be an early gift from the Easter Bunny that we will be recieveing a hail storm, that's right, isn't that such a sweet thing...." the weatherman chuckled.
"Oh so what, who cares, " Lindsay shrugged, pissed that Isaac had interrupted her song.
"Hello?? What planet are you on? My god damn brother is going to die!" Isaac screamed.
"Uh...RIGHT omigod...okay not good...." Lindsay yelped starting to pace.
"Okay, I'll call the athorities maybe they can send a warning out to all the skiiers or something..."Isaac said worridly walking towards the phone.
-----------------------
"Okie, so how am I doing?" Zac asked with a smile has he slowly made his way down the hill.
"Great!" Kristen said with a smile as she slid beside him. "I can't say that much for your friend though." Lucy was stumbling, slipping, and falling all the way down the hill.
"Luc?" he asked and for the first time, realized she was there. "Oh, she'll be ok," he said as he turned his head away from Lucy and back to Kristen.
"I hope she lives," Kristen muttered. "Last time a person got hurt, Dad deducted 50 dollars off my check."
Zac laughed at her. "Money all there is?"
"And sex," she laughed. Zac laughed too.
"What are you two laughing at?" Lucy panted as she reached them.
"Nothing," Kristen said. "You know, boarding's much easier if you TRY."
"I am," she said.
"Why'd you even come if you weren't interested?"
"I am."
"You're not!"
"Yes, I AM!" Lucy said and grew red in the face. "Don't start on me."
"Why? What are you gonna do? Stab me with your nail file or something?" Kristen shot back. "You'd break a nail."
"Shut up," Lucy seethed. "I'm going back to the house."
"Not alone," Kristen said.
"Yeah, I am," she said and started down a path, but once again she forgot about the slick board attached to her feet and she began to seemingly fly over the powder snow. Kristen and Zac were left listening to her screaming and the occasional 'nooooo!' The two only chuckled as they too started down the hill on foot. A light drizzle began to come from the sky.
---------------------------------
"Awwww come on Faith," Taylor begged as the two fell on his bed. "Just... let me-"
"No Taylor!" she said as she sat on the bed with him. They had left the living room because the movie had gotten to 'graphic' as she had put it. Now that they were alone, Taylor was wanting to take their relationship a step farther. "You know how I feel about that stuff."
"But... Faith, we've been going out for ever it seems.... and I don't think we've ever really KISSED," he said and looked at her.
"I've kissed you," she said softly.
"But not like KISSED me," he said with a hint of pressure in his voice.
"Well... I think that stuff like that isn't needed for a relationship to last," she said and looked at the floor.
"Faith," he said and sat up slowly wrapping his arms around her waist. "Trust me... I won't hurt you... and all I want is a kiss."
"I've never done it like that before," she said and stiffened under his pressure.
"Neither have I," he lied.
"Really?"
"Well... yeah," he said suddenly feeling bad.
"And you're sure this is all... and the only time?" she asked wanting to make him happy.
"Yeah, unless you like it," he said with a gleam in his eye.
"All right," she said and turned to face him.
"Good," he said as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers softy at first, and then added a little pressure as he slowly let his tongue slip between his lips and open hers. Taylor's surprise at the warmth and sweetness of her mouth showed in his pants. Faith gave a small yelp, but the sound was muffled by Taylor's mouth. At first, it was awkward, but soon, they both began to relax and enjoy the kiss. Taylor grew even more excited as she Faith began letting her tongue tease his. Taylor gently pushed Faith back on the bed. As she grew more and more comfortable, the more Taylor wanted to go farther. Soon, Taylor had worked up the courage, and he let his hand stray from beside her on the bed, to her stomach. Faith didn't much mind to it, until he placed his hand inside her and shirt and began moving it up.
"Tay, stop..." she said as she pulled away from him.
"But Faith!" he whimpered. "Please..."
"Taylor, no!" she said and sat up.
"Why?" he asked as he straddled her in place on the bed.
"Just because..." she said as she grew rigid under him. "Tay... get off me..."
"Don't you love me?" he asked.
"Yeah, but..." she said. Never had been afraid of him, but now, he was scaring her.
"Then let me," he said soothing. His baby blue eyes held trust and security as she looked at him. "I won't hurt you... I swear."
"Tay, I'm not sure this is right," she said, slowly giving into the rather stunning boy on her.
"Sure it is," he said and looked at her. "God wants us together," he said and kissed her lips softly.
"Tay, I love you and all..." she trailed off again as she pulled back from him.
"But?" he asked.
"But... I don't know. I wanna wait," she said. "I love you deeply, but I don't know."
"If you say so," he said as his anger grew. "You don't care."
"I DO care!" she cried as she sat up. Taylor stood up beside the bed.
"You don't. If you did, you would have at least let me do what I was gonna do," he said and looked at her.
Faith's temper rose and as she looked at him. "I love you Tay, but obviously, you don't love me."
"I do," he said and glared at her.
"IF you did, then I wouldn't have to tell you no," she said and looked at him. "I don;t believe you."
"Why?" he asked and gave her a death look. "I was just being a normal boy! I wanted to do stuff with you... I mean. All my friends are already having sex! And until today, we hadn't even kissed!"
"Tay, is that ALL I am to you?" she asked. "A sex toy?"
"Apparently not, I can't even get you to let me feel you," he spat at her.
"Well maybe I would have if you would respect me," she said. "I'm leaving now."
"Whatever," he said and sat down at the small desk and turned away from her. Faith began to cry as she ran to her room and fell, sobbing on the bed.
-------------------
"I thought it was this way..." Kristen said to Zac as the two stumbled back in the circle they'd been in for the past hour.
"Me too," Zac said as he shivered. It had started raining and storming earlier, they were luckier they had on snow gear.
"I wonder where Luc's at?" Kristen asked.
"Probably hit a tree," Zac snickered as he sat on a log in the rain.
"We should probably look for shelter," Kristen said reasonably as she joined him.
"And where?" Zac asked.
"Hmmmm... a cave or a burnt out tree?" Kristen asked and rolled her eyes. "How should I know? We're lost remember?"
"Oh yeah," Zac said softly. "I saw we walk around and look for SOMEWHERE."
"Fine," she said and stood. The two walked for ten minutes and came across a small cave in the side of the mountain not far from the ground. "Good enough?" she asked as she glanced up. It was a good teen feet.
"Sure," he said. "Ever climb rocks?"
"Do I look like I climb rocks?"
"Yeah."
"Good answer."
"Ok, so you gonna help me?" he asked.
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Bad answer."
Zac laughed as he started up the incline with her behind him, giving him directions the entire way up. "Ya know, this isn't too bad," he said as he crawled back from the opening. It was about as wide bathroom and just as long. Zac shivered.
"Cold?"
"What do you think?"
"Yeah."
"Good answer."
"Shut up! My line!" she laughed as she sat next to him. A few minutes of awkward silence filled the air. Kristen turned to him. "You know, Linds never told me she knew Hanson."
Zac's eyes bulged and his mouth dropped. He wasn't expecting that. "I... we... we just met."
"Figures," Kristen said. "Linds has a knack for meeting guys, but seems her nor I ever get them."
"Ironic?" Zac asked.
"More like not fair," Kristen sighed. "Oh well.. there's always AJ."
"You like him?"
"Oh, I love him!" Kristen smiled at the thought of him. "He's perfect."
"Ohhh," Zac said flatly. "That's good."
"You don't sound so happy bout it," she laughed.
"I am," Zac said and smiled fakely.
"You're sucha dork!" Kristen laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Hey!" he laughed.
"So tell me... how long Tay and Faith been going out?" she asked curiously.
"About five months..." Zac said and looked at her. I'll be damned!!!!!!!!!! Zac screamed in his head. She wants TAYLOR too!!! Why?!?!?! He silently began plotting Taylor's death as Kristen went on bout how cute Taylor was and on and on. Zac silently wrote a book: 101 ways to kill a-sexy-symbol-older-brother-named-taylor.
------------
Taylor sat on the couch silently staring into the fading fire, using a swiss army knife to carve something into the wood block he was holding.
Maybe I was too harsh, maybe I should have been nicer, man is she going to be pissed tomamrrow, he thought staring at the burning ambers. What's wrong with me, I was brought up so well, why the hell is this sudden obbsession with sex, probably because your little brother is making his moves on Kris, Taylor answered himself, If he has sex before me I'll have him killed, hitmen are very easy to find these days......
"OMIGOD CALL THE 911!!! CALL SOMEONE!! GET THE FOREST RANGERS!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!!!" Lucy burst into the cabin screaming. Taylor stared at her bewildered.
"What's wrong??" Taylor asked, helping her up.
"It was horrible! Horrible I tell you, they're probably will die of starvation!!! Or freeze to death!!! It's my fault!! I shouldn't have left! Even though I probably was the only sane one there, for starting back early!!" Lucy sobbed, Taylor stared down discusted that she decided to use his sleeve as a kleenex.
"Luc, do you remember where they were?" Taylor asked pulling her head up and off to the table.
"Noo..." She whined pulling a handful of tissues from the box.
"Are you absolutley sure?"
"Well I remember a tree, and Zac was being a jerk, and Kristen was making fun of my nails, and...." Lucy pounded her head on the table.
"What's all the noise about?" Megan and Lindsay came out of the bedroom, yawning.
"They're dead!!! Dead dead dead...."
"Shut up," Taylor shook his head, "Luc left Zac and Kristen in the middle of their snow boarding thing."
"Great, and they're stranded somewhere up there now right?" Megan sighed.
"Most likely, if they haven't..."
"BEEN EATEN BY BEARS!!! There are wild animals up there! Wolves even!"
Megan rolled her eyes.
"Here have a cookie." she muttered shoving the half eaten cookie she was holding into Lucy's mouth.
"Anyways, maybe we should alert the athorities." Taylor suggested.
"Shut up Tay, you don't care about anyone but yourself, we heard what you did to Faith," Lindsay screamed. Taylor looked a little shocked.
"She told you guys?"
"More like she cried it, god she hasn't stopped crying to the past four hours!!" Megan screamed.
"That bad, huh?" Taylor looked down, ashamed of himself.
"Yeah," Megan looked coldly to him, "I thought you had more morals than that."
"Well this is no time to talk about it, " Taylor said suddenly changing the subject, "Someone has to tell the authorities that they're still out there."
"Luc, where were you guys last?" Lindsay asked. Lucy stared at them all eating the cookie.
"I don't know, I'm not supposed to talk remember?"
"Tell me goddammit!! I know you want Zac to be safe just as much as all the rest of us!" Taylor shook her. Lucy stared at him and then looked down.
"Fine......they were near the path, but there was a huge yellow sign in front of us, it had this snowboard on it, but it kinda looked like a nail file, that's probably where Kris got that nail file thing from..."
"They must have just reached the snowboard area when it started to hail...." Taylor shook his head, "That can't be good."
"I'll call the ski patrol." Lindsay said picking up the phone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Man am I cold." Kristen shivered as Zac attemped to make a fire.
"I just don't get it, I mean you're supposed to rub two sticks together,but I think everything is too wet...." Zac threw two sticks out of cave.
"Anyways, how long do you think Faith and Tay will last? One week, two more at the most?" Kristen continued with her plans for Taylor.
"I have no idea, probably forever, they'll probably get married, and not have sex like ever, Faith is against that, actually I think I can see her entering a convent." Zac shrugged.
"I'll give them till the end of the trip," Kristen smiled.
"What do you mean?" Zac looked at her puzzled as he sat the other side of the cave staring at her.
"I mean, it'll be only a few days till I can have what I want."
"Get real." Zac snorted, "They're like "the perfect couple" ".
"For now," Kristen smiled, "I have a plan."
"Care to share these Cruel Intentions?"
"I liked that movie, now shut up and listen," Kristen said, "I mean it's obvious Taylor has interests in me, so all I have to do is show him I can give him exactly what Faith can't."
"Which would be....." Zac waited for her to continue.
"You know how she said she had that, NO SEX rule..."
"You want to sleep with MY brother??" Zac looked dissapointed.
"Hell yeah, he's fuckin hot!" Kristen grinned," Anyways, after I...hehehe...you know, I show him what I can do for him, I'll give him 2 days and he's mine."
"Get real," Zac rolled his eyes.
"I'm serious, I swear it'll work."
"What about sweet ol' AJ, don't you just LOVE AJ???" Zac asked in a high pitched voice.
"Of course, now shut up." Kristen said, "And me and Tay will be happy for a very very veeeeeeeeeeryyy....long time..."
"Right, I'll bet you can't do it."
"I'll bet I can," Kristen smiled.
"Fine what do you want to bet?"
"I don't know, I'll bet I could get Tay before you could get back Lucy." Kriste raised an eyebrow.
"We were never together." Zac said, wondering if that was the reason she didn't partake in too much interest in him.
"Right, that's why she's so in love with you," Kristen rolled her eyes.
"She's NOT in love with me, trust me."
"That's why she came on this trip and that's why you treated her like dirt." Kristen laughed at Zac's stupidity.
"Well that's the bet? Then it'll be easy for me to win if she's "so in love with me." Zac smiled, "So what do I win?"
"We'll just have to make this the total Cruel Intentions way, if I win then I get whatever I want out of the personal collection of Zac Hanson's crap and...
"If I win?"
"Hunny, did you not hear me? This IS the Cruel Intentions way of doing things," Kristen grinned and pulled Zac closer and kissed his neck, "I know you want me hun, I guess I'll just be soothing the pain." she whispered in his ear and moved her hand down to the buldge in his pants. Zac looked down, with his eyes wide. "But not yet."
Kristen smiled and licked his lips. "Or it might not happen, and I'll get myself a new pair of Docs.." she laughed and leaned against the side of the cave.
-----------------------------------
"Oh god... I hope they're ok," Taylor moaned at the kitchen table that night around eleven.
"Me too," Lindsay and Megan said at the same time.
"I should have fallen down the side of the cliff," Lucy muttered quietly as she sipped the hot cocoa she had in her hands.
"Still wanna try?" Isaac asked. Lucy had been saying that for an hour.
"NO!" Lucy screamed as Isaac stood. "Please.. no! I'll... learn to fly!"
"Very well then. You'll have first class lesson if you don't stop mumbling," Isaac said and sat back down. "Anyone seen Faith?" He got no comment from anyone.
"Tay made her mad..." Lucy said. "Something bout him not havin any morals or values."
"Shut up!" Taylor said to her. "God you're just like Zac! So god damned annoying."
"What did you do Tay?" Isaac asked.
"Nothing," Taylor said and looked out the window.
"Okie..." Isaac said and looked at his brother. "You're rather odd."
"I'm gonna go... I can find them," Taylor said.
"Are you crazy?" Isaac asked. "Kris lives here and she's lost!"
"But still... I have a good sense when it comes to this stuff," Taylor muttered and got his jacket and boots on.
"Tay...no!" Isaac said.
"I don't know about you, but I'm NOT leaving my little brother out there in the fucking cold weather. Zac never fights and he gives in. You know that," Taylor said and looked at Isaac has he pulled his gloves on. "Besides, without Zac, where do I get my money? Where's the band? I need him."
"For money," Isaac sighed as he gave up. "I'd go with you, but I don't wanna die a virgin."
"You're such a loser!" Taylor said as he started out the door and down the path Lucy went on. Ok, he thought to himself. I think Faith hates me, Lindsay hates me too, and I know Kris wants me, but she's probably fucking my little brother. I swear, if he gets to have any kind of sex before I do, his ass is mine! Taylor swore as he went on up the hill until he came to the sign Lucy mentioned. I'll say, they went.... THAT way. I have such a good sense of direction, Taylor boasted to himself as he came upon a cliff. Or not- he thought as he went to turn around. Just as he turned he heard "... I'll get myself a new pair of Docs." What the hell? he thought as he put his head over the edge of the not so high cliff. Only twenty feet... he thought. If I have to jump, I won't kill myself... just make myself a vegetable. "Yo Zac!"
A long pause and the sound of feet scurrying somewhere. "Tay?!?!?" Zac yelled up.
"Oh my god!! Zac!!!" Taylor screamed down.
"Careful Tay! With that voice, you'll start a damn avalanche!" Zac said.
"Zac! Shut up!" Taylor laughed as he looked for a way down the cliff. "How'd you get down there?"
"I dunno," Zac said.
Kristen looked up at Taylor with a smile on her face. "Hey Tay?"
"Yeah Kris?" he asked as he looked at her. Ok, so she IS hot, Taylor said as he looked down at her.
"Wanna help us up?" she called.
"How?"
"I can climb this," she said and stood. "But Zac can't..."
"He's too fat," Taylor laughed.
"Shut up Barbie," Zac spat out.
"You two!" Kristen laughed as she told Zac what to do. "See those rocks and roots? they make natural foot holders... just climb up those."
"No way!" Zac said.
"Dude, I can't weigh much less than you!" Kristen said.
"You weigh like 110!" Zac said as he started up the steep cliff.
"I weigh 135 dumbass," she said.
"Naw!" Taylor said and looked at her. "No way!"
"Yeah," she said.
"You look 110 or something," Taylor smiled.
"No... but thanks anyhow," she smiled up at him as Zac made his way up.
"Ready?" Taylor hollered down at her as he pulled Zac up.
"Yep," she said as she climbed up the cliff without much effort. As she reached Taylor and grabbed his hand she looked at him. His eyes were shinning with an emotion she often saw:lust. She smiled at him as she pulled herself up with his hand easily and making sure her leg just lightly brushed against his zipper.She 'accidently' slipped on the cliff and had Tay catch her. "Sorry," she breathed into Taylor's ear as she let him catch her and hold her there.
"Its ok..." he said and let go of her reluctantly. Oh damn! he thought as he glanced down at his pants. Thank GOD for big jeans, he thought as he looked at her walking from behind. God... she knows what she's doing, Taylor thought as he watched every move she made. They got to the glass patio at the of the cabin with the hot tub. Zac ran in teh house to prepare his Lucy misson.
Kristen stopped on the patio by the hot tub. "Tay hun," Kristen said from the side of the patio.
"Mmmmhmm..."
"Come here..." she said softlt, seducively.
"Ok," he said as he walked over to KRisten.
"Wanna have some fun?" she asked as she pulled off her jacket, gloves, and hat. Her goggles were with her baord- at the path.
"Sure..." he smiled as he watched her take off her shoes.
"Gonna get undresses?" she asked with a smile as she pulled her shirt up.
"What are you gonna go in?" he asked as he followed her precedures.
"What does it matter?" she asked and smiled at him.
"It doesn't," he said and looked in the window. All lights were out. Good... no one can ruin thisperfect moment, Taylor thought. Hey Faith and I pretty much broke up... and she won't do anything with me. Here's this gorgeous girl throwing herself at me. Asking me to get in a HOT TUB with her... and she's so hot... he thouhgt as he looked at her as he pulled her jeans off. I... kinky! he thought as he stood in his boxers.
"My god..." she breathed as she looked at him. "I was right."
"Right?" Taylor asked as he kept thinking one of his gay brothers or freinds were gonna run out and ruin it. I'll be damned! He thoughth. I'm gonna finally gte pased the ksising stage,and they are NOT stopping me from HER.
"You ARE sexier than hell... and I can only imagine the fun we could have," she smiled. Virgins are the best, she thought to herself as she smiled at him. He's definitly a virgin. "Seeing how you are a virgin... I can wear my bra and panties... and I'll just changed into some of Lindsay's later. If you wnat that of course," she said and seemed so innocent about it.
"Uhhhh..." he blushed. "You can tell?"
"Yeah..." she said and walked to him. "It's ok though. I like guys like you better. They're so much cuter."
"Mmm..." he said as she kissed his mouth hungerily and passionatly. Kristen couldn't help but smile when Taylor sighed and wrapped his arms around her. As the kiss continued, she wrapped her arms around Taylor's neck and pressed up against him. Taylor's hand ran along the soft silk and lace of her bra as he began kissing down her neck. Just as he was unsnapping her bra, she pulled away from him and smiled. It's too easy... she thought. I'm gonna have me some fun with this kid first, she thought happily. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing," she replied shyly. "It's just... welll..." she blushed.
"What?" he asked getting concernded.
"It's not you," she said and blushed again.
"Then what is it?" he asked.
"I just... I feel silly standing out here... with the lights on and all. Anyone could see us," she said and looked at him. "And I don't know if we should be doing any of this."
"Why?" he asked as his heart sank.
"Well.. you ARE a virgin.. and don't want it to have more meaning?" she asked as she slipped into the hot tub as he turned the lighst off.
"Uh..." he said as he thought about the best answer. "I guess."
"Then you want to wait for the right person?" she asked.
Fuck, he thought. "I want you."
"Me?" she asked with a smile.
"You," he said with a smile and got in next to her.
"What bout Faith?" she asked.
"Ilove her, but we'll never get anywhere. She went off when I tried to even stick my hand up her shirt," he said and sighed.
"Ohhh..." she said. "I don't want you to think I'm cheating on my boyfriend or anyhting. We do this a lot... with other people ya know?"
"Really?" Taylor asked in amazement.
"Yeah," she said. "I love him and he loves me, but sex with each other... it's not good... he likes guysmore for sex."
"You're joking?" Taylor asked.
"I'm serious," she laughed.
"My god! Compared to you?" he asked.
"I suppose."
"But you're..." he saod and blushed.
"I'm ugly," she said.
"You're beautiful!" he aurgued.
"Ok," she said. "If you say so."
"Seriously," Taylor said. "You're beautiful... and you deserve better than just screwing any guy that comes along...really. I can there's most than that."
Kristen was a bit taken back with his words. I wasn't expecting this... she thought. No one has EVER said that. I dunno how hard this is gonna get, but it's gonna get worse.
"Faith and I broke up I think," he said and sighed."My first love."
"They never last," Kristen said.
"I know," he sighed. "I just... wished she'd do more."
"I don't see how she can keep from fucking your brains out every night," Kristen said and wrapped her arms around his neck as she straddled his lap. "I know I would."
"Good," he laughed and kissed her mouth. The two stayed in the hot tub all night talking, kissing, cuddling.
