Chapter 27:

Secretly Dating

I was upstairs in my room when I heard the doorbell ring. I raced down the stairs and met Taylor at the front door. I opened the door to find him leaning casually against the door frame wearing his leather jacket and a button-down shirt. I intentionally didn't let myself think as I grabbed him roughly by the collar of his shirt and pulled him inside.

With more guts than I thought I had, I pushed him against the wall and kissed him deeper than I ever imagined. Pretending we were just friends all day long nearly drove me crazy. I had missed him, even sitting next to him at lunch. I missed the closeness of being able to hold his hand and kiss him. I was determined to make up for lost time.

I pulled away slowly, my cheeks blushing bright pink. I pursed my lips which were warm from kissing him.

"Wow. If this is what it's like to be secretly dating..." He murmured, his arms tightening around me. He pulled me closer.

"Maybe you shouldn't get too used to it then," I grinned. I couldn't believe my own confidence. I was behaving completely out of character for me. I felt my cheeks grow a light shade of pink.

Taylor grinned. "Where's your grandmother? Is she here?"

I shook my head. "No. She's at Monday night bingo." I replied. "We have the house to ourselves... for a little while at least."

"Ah," He nodded. "Does she at least know I'm coming over?" He bent and tenderly kissed my shoulder. I shuddered uncontrollably.

"Of course she does. She sends her love... and chicken casserole."

He raised his eyebrows carefully. "Really? Food? I mean, I just ate before I came over here, but I could probably eat again." He shrugged.

"Don't get too excited. It's horrible, disgusting stuff." I wrinkled my nose and shook my head.

"Okay, I'll heed your warning." His arms tightened around my waist and pulled me closer.

He was leaning against the wall casually now, and looking absolutely incredible. I was overcome with the urge to kiss him again.

"We have to at least pretend to be doing homework when my grandmother arrives." I continued. "I told her you were coming over to help me with my math homework."

"Oh really? Is that what we're calling our relationship now? Math homework?" He wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.

I nodded, biting my lower lip. "It wasn't a complete lie. I do need some help."

"Show me." He urged. "I'm pretty good at math."

"Yeah?" I asked with a smile, wiggling inconspicuously out of his arms. I led the way to the living room where my books were open on the coffee table.

He nodded. "My mom was a math teacher... before she quit to raise us kids."

"Yeah?" I asked, intrigued. "You have six siblings, right? That has to be crazy."

"Uhh... six, at my last count." He laughed at his own private joke.

"How do you stand it? I mean, I used to wish for a sibling, but I definitely don't think I would want six."

He shrugged.
