The Town Plaza

Alex

"Yeah, sure," I say, kissing her forehead, "I'll just be a few minutes."

Taylor

“ Okay perfect.” I say. I kiss him and I head back to the hotel. I get off the elevator when it reaches the top floor. I go into my room and straight into my closet. I change into my pajamas and hang my dress up. Then I head into the bathroom and wash my make-up off. I go and lay on my bed and turn my TV on. I watch so random show about Vampires and wait for Alex.

Alex

I go home and change, thinking about bringing a bag of clothes over since it seems like I'll be spending most of my time with her. I forget the bag and head back over, not caring about the strange looks I get from the people about walking around town in pajamas. Upon arriving at her room, I pounce on the bed beside her and kiss her forehead in greeting.

Taylor

He comes into the room and pounces on the bed. He kisses my forehead and puts his arm around me. “Okay so much has happened today. So first parents and ex-boyfriend come, I almost drown in a lake, then ex-boyfriend turns parents against you and me and then you win over my parents over.” I fall over on his lap. “ I am so exhausted.” I say over dramatize.

Alex

I smile at her and wrap my arms around her, sighing.

"I am too," I play along with her dramatics, "I could just fall asleep right now."

Taylor

I laugh a little and kiss him. Thinking about how great he is. “What is your dream. Something you want to be, want to have, something to finally succeed at. Anything, just your biggest dream.” I ask.

Alex

I think about it, nothing coming right off the top of my head.

"To be happy," I answer, "And to make whoever I'm with happy. Just to be me and not have to worry about playing other sides just to fit someone's expectations."

I take a deep breath and look at her.

"You?"

Taylor

“To live everyday of my life to the fullest. I do not want to waist my life being upset of just wasting it. You only live once, so why spend that time being upset.” I say. I kiss him. “Or being alone and not with a person that you love.”

Alex

I smile and kiss her back, "And are you living your life that way, Taylor?"

Taylor

I cross my legs and turn to him, smiling. “I am,” I say “and I hope you are living your dream.” I say. “ I love you.”

Alex

I smile and wrap my arms around her again, "I am, and I love you too."

NEXT MORNING


Taylor
My eyes slowly open and I find myself cuddled up to Alex. I Gently kiss his cheek and wait for him to wake up.

Alex

Something delicately brushes against my cheek and I slowly wake, yawning before I open my eyes. Taylor is cuddled up against me, my arms securely around her. Flashing a smile at the sight, I kiss her and set my forehead against hers with my eyes closed once more.

"G'morning, Tay," I say.

Taylor

“Morning.” I say kissing him back. He yawns and I smile. “Are you getting tired of me?” I ask him.

Alex

I open my eyes and look at her, an eyebrow raised, "Tired of you? I'd have to be a crotchety old man who screams at kids to get off his lawn while waving a plastic flamingo around as if it's a weapon to get tired of you, Tay."
