Mikeala
I was sitting in the back of our family's minivan basking in the fact that I was right behind my long time crush and worldwide superstar Taylor Hanson. I just couldn't believe that I would be spending the next few weeks of Christmas vacation with him.
My world of daydreams and sunshine came crashing down around me when Taylor began to inquire about my cousin Callista. I mean I loved Callista dearly but she always got the guys and in my opinion it was just not fair. It never failed that when Noah was allowed to bring a guy out to Long Island with him that they fell for CJ and it inevitably ended in heartbreak for them. I wanted this trip to be different but the way he reacted was typical and it hurt me to see that.
I wanted Taylor to be completely uninterested in Callista, in my dream world he would've said something like, oh well she's nothing in comparison to my Mikeala, but that's my dreams. I was upset about Callista catching Taylor's attention before they even met for a couple of reasons. Number one I didn't want to see Taylor get hurt, number two I was planning on finally asking him out on this trip, and number three it just wasn't fair that CJ got all the guys. I was silently pouting to myself when we pulled up in front of her mansion and had to go inside.
My Aunt Morgan greeted us at the door, and I could tell immediately that she liked Taylor just by the look on her face. Morgan was like that she checked out nearly every guy and made sure they were acceptable before they got to her daughters. The adults left the room and we dropped our gifts under the tree. I guessed by the time my watch said and the state of confusion that the house was in that CJ was probably under the tree. I smirked to myself as I thought of how well she hid, from anything and everything. That was one thing that my nearly perfect cousin didn't do well, face her problems. A faint sneeze that rose from below the tree confirmed my suspicions.
Taylor was immediately taken by her and joined her under the tree. When he did not emerge after a few seconds I decided to leave the room. I could not deal with him being like that, God knows what they were doing below that tree. Everyone else joined me and we left the two 'lovebirds' to themselves.
At dinner they were in their own little world. Taylor was staring at her, not even trying to hide it, and she was basking in his attention. They elbowed each other, played footsie under they table and smiled flirtatiously at each other throughout the meal. I could've sworn that they were even holding hands under the table. It just made me want to barf, right there and then. The thing that hurt me the most was when they left the table, just the two of them, alone, early, and didn't return. Noah wanted to leave the table and check on them but Beccaleigh wouldn't hear of it. I silently willed her to let him go and interrupt the two of them but she didn't get my message, I guess we don't have ESP. Finally Noah asked me what I thought about the two of them and I slipped, I let him find out that I had like Taylor for what seemed like forever. Then I could take it no longer, I left the table near tears and made it to the bathroom before I burst into tears. I locked myself in and cried until I was called on to open gifts.
Before leaving the bathroom I splashed some cold water on my face and touched up my makeup. Walking into the living room there was hardly any space for me to sit down. So being the opportunist I am I tried to pry in between the 'lovebirds' and take a seat but they held each others hands tight and I was forced to sit on Taylor's left, thankfully I was practically in his lap. WE al opened our gifts and I got everything I could have wanted and then some from my rich relatives. The only thing that could've made this Christmas any better would be Taylor holding my hand and not Cally's. But I had a plan, I would have Taylor all to myself by the end of the evening if it killed me. I just could not stand by and watch Taylor ruin his life, I knew in my heart he belonged with me. Callista could only hurt him.
The adults and a good portion of my younger cousins left the room and everyone began to engage in small conversations and looking through their new gifts. I took this as a good time to instate my plan, the opportunity became even clearer when Cally began to leave the room.
I stood up and grabbed Taylor's hands, pulling him off to the side to 'talk 'to him alone. HE followed behind me and we stopped on the first step of the staircase. Just above us was the mistletoe and I turned to look Taylor in the eye. I was somewhat nervous and Tay could sense it, I could tell by the way he acted that he wasn't exactly comfortable either.
" Taylor, I need to tell you something and I'm not sure how you'll take it but I don't want it to change our friendship," I PAUSED TOP TAKE A NERVOUS BREATH. " I, oh god this is so hard to say� I really like you a lot, I think I may love you and�" I STOPPED TALKING AND PULLED HIS SEXY BODY CLOSE TO MINE. " You're standing under the mistletoe." I WHISPERED INTO HIS EAR, AND I FELT HIM SHAKE IN JOY. I THEN PRESSED MY LIPS TO HIS AND HE OPENED HIS MOUTH ALLOWING MY TONGUE TO ENTER. I HELD HIM CLOSE AND KISSED HIM WITH A PASSION THAT I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT I HAD, HE KISSED ME BACK JUST AS FEVERISHLY. I NEVER WANTED THE KISS TO END BUT IT WAS ALMOST CUT SHORT WHEN Callista shoved passed us. ' Killed two birds with one stone, now I've got him and she probably hates him too. Man am I good.' I thought to myself, as I kissed Taylor again.
