“It’s Zac, that’s who.” Kim was mortified. ‘Did Jenn say what I think she said?’ Kim thought.
“Are you crazy? What about Sean?”
“I don’t know, but all I know is that I like Zac...a lot.”
“Well, who do you like more?” Kim asked, walking to the bathroom.
“I think I like Zac more,” she yelled through the door.
“What?” Kim yelled as the door flung open. Jenn and Kim looked at each other for a split second, and then Jenn shoved Kim to the side and got into the bathroom to get changed. “Okay, let me get this straight...you like Sean so you go out with him. You guys well...umm...at the movies. Now, two day later, you're trying to tell me you don’t like him any more, but you are now madly in love with Zac?”
“Well not exactly.” The door flung open and Jenn walked out. “I still like Sean. I think this is bad,” she said hopping into her sleeping bag, which was on the floor next to Kim’s bed.
“I can’t handle this now. It’s too late, Jenn,” Kim said with a smile and a laugh. “Go to bed and think about what you just told me over in your head. We can talk about it in the morning. Good night.”
“Okay, Mom, good night,” Jenn spoke sarcastically as Kim turned off the lights. They both laid in bed until the silence was broke by the ringing of Kim’s phone. “Who could that be?” she said to Jenn as she picked it up “Hello?”
“Hey, Kim...I was kinda wondering if maybe me and Zac could possibly spend the night at your place...” Tay’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Why? What happened?” Kim asked, confused.
“Well, see, Zac kinda had a fight with Ike of which I was pulled into...And now Ike’s like, majorly pissed at both of us, and Dad & Mom are too, so we just kinda wanna get outta here for a little bit.”
“Oh...Yea, sure, I guess. You’ll have to sneak in through my window though, cause my ‘rents would never let me have a guy stay overnight.”
“Did I just hear sneak and window in the same sentence?” Jenn grinned, with her sing-song tone.
Kim laughed and hit her. “Would you shut up, Jenn? Sorry, Tay. She’s retarded.” Jenn made a retarded noise, grinning like a mad girl.
“That’s no problem...Me and Zac have to sneak outta here anyway, so it’s all good.”
Kim smiled as she watched Jenn flail her arms around, trying to get the attention of her friend. Damn, was she ever confused. “What’s going on?” Jenn mouthed.
Kim ignored her for the moment and continued talking to Tay. “Okay, we’ll keep an eye out for you then.”
“Okay,” Taylor replied. “See you soon.”
Kim could hear the slight smile in his voice and couldn’t help but smile in return. “Okay. Bye.”
“Bye.”
The two hung up their phones. Kim sat on the bed, somewhat dumbfounded.
“What happened?” Jenn whined, shaking Kim some.
“Tay and Zac are coming for a visit.”
“What?” Jenn asked confused. Visit? Zac couldn’t see her like this!
“They’re gonna spend the night cause their parents and Ike are really mad at them or something like that...so I told Tay that I’d sneak ‘em in if they could sneak out.”
“Ohmigod. I hate youuuu! I have to primp! Hellooo! He cannot see me with my hair like this!”
“Gee, Jenn, if you didn’t have a boyfriend, I’d think that you had a crush on Zaccy here.”
“Yea...well, I think that me and Sean are going down hill lately...”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know...I’m just not that attracted to him anymore.”
“What?”
“I think I like Zac...”
“Oh my god…”
“Shut uppp...I don’t know for sure, but I guess we’ll find out tonight,” Jenn replied, sporting an evil grin.
Kim rolled her eyes. “Oh geez.”

"Tay, is that gonna fit through the window?" Kim questioned with a wide grin.
Taylor simply rolled his eyes. "Yes Kim...It's gonna fit," he said, pushing himself through the window, taking off his backpack.
Jenn laughed, "Thinkin' of a li'l sumptin sumptin there, eh Kim? Tonight would be the night."
Kim gave her a sideways grin & hit her harshly. "Like you should talk," Kim shot back as Zac pushed his way through the window.
"Huh? What?" Zac asked. "Who does Tay wanna make out with? Kim? When? Where? Here? Now?"
"Shut up, Zac," Tay spoke, slight annoyance in his voice.
Zac simply stuck his tongue out and dropped his stuff on the ground.
"So, uh, where's everyone sleeping?" Jenn asked innocently.
"Well, since we don't have much room, you and Zac on the floor, me and Tay on the bed...You know it is full-size...that means for two people."
"Yea...mmhmm..." Jenn spoke.
"Hey, you got what you wanted, Jenn," Kim shot back.
"Heyyy!"
"Okay, ladies, keep the peace...Let's get to bed now..." Tay shot a grin towards Kim.
"Yea, I totally agree," Kim replied.
"Do we have to go to bed just yet?" Zac whined. "I wanted to have some fun!"
"Oh, we'll be having fun..." Jenn muttered under her breath.
"What?" Zac asked.
"Ohhh, nothing..." Jenn replied, crawling into her sleeping bag.
"Jenn, spread out your sleeping bag and I'll get you guys a comforter to share..." Kim smiled some.
Jenn nodded and did as Kim told her.
Meanwhile, Taylor was climbing into bed, warming it up. He liked Kim a lot. He had for quite some time now. Did she like him like that though? Like, really like him? They had been going out for a few days and that had seemed like a few weeks.
Taylor was disturbed from his thoughts as a light moan cut through the silence. 'What the hell?' Tay thought. He rolled over and looked in Zac and Jenn's direction. They were already pretty into their little make out session that was happening.
"Oh yea, Baby. C'mon, you know you want me. You know you do," Taylor mocked the two.
Kim walked through the door and saw Taylor snuggled in bed, Zac and Jenn making out on the floor. "What the hell are you two doing?"
Zac and Jenn jumped and pulled apart. "Ow! You bit my tongue!" Jenn exclaimed.
"What was your tongue doing in his mouth in the first place?"
"Um...Stuff...?" Jenn replied, mocking Sean.
Zac just grinned a wide grin. Man, he liked that...they'd have to hook up again sometime soon.
Tay shot Kim a look, grinning. "Hey, uh...what do you guys say we turn in? I'm pretty tired..."
Kim threw the comforter at Zac and Jenn and climbed into bed next to Taylor.
"Not too loud guys, please," Tay teased.
"Yea, you neither, Tay," Zac retorted.
Taylor blushed deeply. "Whatever." Kim just sighed and rolled over on her side, away from Tay.
Tay snuggled up next to her and kissed lightly on the cheek. She rolled to face him.
"I love you..." Tay said nervously. He took in a small breath waiting in anticipation.
"I love you too, Tay, But that doesn't mean you're gonna get any tonight,” Kim smiled softly not knowing what Tay would do. Tay just started laughing.
"Oh yeah, I’m so sure those last words are gonna stick," Jenn gave a devilish grin.
"Yeah, Jenn, well we all know you and Sean never restrained yourselves from anything."
"Who’s Sean?" Zac asked, looking over at Jenn.
"Her boyfriend, dumb-ass!" Tay blurted out.
"You have a boyfriend?" Zac asked while Kim and Tay watched the drama unfold before their eyes.
"Uh...um...I-I-I..." Jenn stuttered. She had no clue as to what to say. She wanted Zac so badly and she knew he wanted her. A fool could have figured that one out.
"Oh, I see what was this gonna be a one night stand sort of thing for you?" Zac asked. Jenn had no clue what to say, but that was enough for Zac. He picked up the comforter and went to lie down on the other side of the room. Tears began to well up in Jenn's eyes until they bowled over. She wanted to go tell Tay off for telling Zac she had a boyfriend, but instead she rushed out of the room so that no one would see her cry, especially Zac. Kim looked up at Tay, who was nuzzling her face in his neck.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. You have to go see if she is alright," Tay said as he lifted the covers.

Jennifer had headed downstairs. Zac didn't get it. How could he? Jenn and Sean...Lately, they hadn't been the best couple. Sean had been acting like an asshole. He hardly even hung out with Jenn and her friends anymore. It was always Sean. When Sean was ready to hang out, they'd go and hang out with his friends. But Zac, Jenn liked Zac. And not in that fallback kind of way. Did he even like her? Rather, could Zac ever like her? They did hook up back in Kim's room. She didn't want him to think she was a slut though, because she wasn't. She was never like that.
Jenn heard Kim's voice echo through the hall. As she sat in the dark in the living room, the tears fell more and more harshly.
"Jenn?" Kim asked meekly.
"Yea?" Jenn replied, sniffing.
"You okay?"
Jenn nodded some. "I guess...I just like him, you know? And Sean, he's been such a prick lately. I was going to break up with him today, but I don't know why I didn't."
"You were?" Kim asked, surprised. Jenn and Sean were going to -gasp- break up?
"Yea," Jenn nodded. "I like Zac a lot..."
"Yea, I like Tay a lot..."
"You two look good together. You're a good couple," Jenn replied.
"Thanks," Kim replied.
"He's probably waiting for you up there..." Jenn trailed, a small smile appearing on her tear-stained face.
"He can wait," Kim replied, giving her friend the same light smile.
"Go 'head up," Jenn replied. "Have a good time."
"Are you sure?" Kim asked.
Jenn nodded. "Yea, go 'head...I'll camp down here."
"Okay..."
Meanwhile, back up in Kim's room, Taylor and Zac were talking. "I don't believe her, man. I mean, she could have told me."
"She has to have a good reason she didn't tell you...Just give her a chance," Tay replied.
Kim walked through her door and crawled back into bed with Tay.
"Hey you," Tay grinned. "Long time..."
"Hey," Kim smiled lightly.
"Where's Jenn?" Zac asked, trying not to show that he cared any.
"Downstairs...she said she was gonna crash on the couch tonight...Why?"
Zac shook his head. "No reason...just wondering."
Kim nodded as if not believing him and cuddled into Taylor's arms. He had done his job and kept the bed warm. His arms were so much warmer though. She gave a light sigh and laid her head on his chest.
"You okay, Baby?"
Kim nodded. "Yea, just a little tired."
"C'mere...Let Tayter make it all better."
Kim laughed some and kissed his lips lightly. "Good night, Tay-bear."
"Good night? So soon? But I need some good lovin'," he grinned.
"I'll give you some good lovin'," Kim replied kiddingly.
"Mmm...I'd like some of your good lovin', Baby," he grinned teasingly.
"Guys...I'm trying to sleep. I don't need to be hearing the making of a porno movie up there," Zac butted in.
Tay let off a groan as his brother's voice cut through the silence of the night. He actually forgot that Zac was laying down there.
Tay kissed Kim's forehead lightly. "Night," he breathed.
"Night," Kim replied, her lips meeting his, gently at first, but getting more passionate as the kiss continued.
Taylor's lips parted slowly, his tongue slipped from his mouth, running over her lips. He felt her lips part the same, the warmth of her tongue meeting his. God, he loved her. He loved the quality time, he loved the make-out sessions, he loved it all. As their kissing deepened, they were comatose to the rest of the world. A bomb could have gone off and neither one of them would have known it.
"I love you," Tay muttered through the deep kiss they had going. Kim nodded.
Zac lay on his back, staring at the ceiling as he listened to the make-out session go on. 'Screw this,' he thought. 'No way in hell am I going to lay here and listen to Tay try to get some from his girlfriend.'
Zac got up, picked up his pillow and comforter and headed out.
