Kevin must have drifted off to sleep, because he awoke to the sound of crying in his room. He slowly opened his eyes, and he could see that Taylor was curled up in a ball on the other side of his bed. Kevin turned on the light and moved closer to Taylor. He placed one hand on her shoulder. That was when she rolled over and said she was sorry, over and over again as she was crying. Kevin held out his arms, giving her the choice this time, and he was relieved when her arm closed in around his neck. A short while later, Kevin had calmed her down, and she was now asleep in his arms. Knowing that she was safe in his arms, sleep came a lot easier for Kevin from that point on.
Taylor was the first one to wake up the next morning. She easily removed herself from Kevin's arms, and just laid there looking at him. She knew now that she couldn't do this without him. She knew she trusted him, and if it meant falling in love with him, she was pretty sure she could handle it. But she knew she had to have him in her life.
A few minutes later Kevin started to wake up and was scared when he no longer felt Taylor in his arms. His eyes shot open and he sat up in bed. He was relieved to see Taylor still in his bed looking up at him. Without thinking, he took her in his arms again and pressed his lips onto hers. The kiss started off rough at first, but then when Taylor started returning the kiss, Kevin slowed it down and deepened the kiss. When they broke apart, they continued to lay in bed for quite sometime.
Taylor excused herself quite sometime later to use the washroom. She closed the washroom door and leaned up against it. She wondered what that kiss meant to Kevin. She brought her hands up to her lips and she could still remember what it was like to have his lips on hers. A shiver went down her spine, so she quickly went to the washroom.
Meanwhile Kevin didn't know what to think. He knew he wanted to kiss her last night, but he never imagined that he would do it without thinking. Just as he thought that, Taylor emerged from the washroom and was back in his arms. He decided he would see what happened that day.
A few hours later, Kevin and Taylor were out of bed and Taylor was making them a huge breakfast that consisted of bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and hash browns. Kevin sat there looking like he was reading the paper, but he was really watching Taylor's every move. She was having a few difficulties preparing breakfast, but she was learning how to cope. He noticed how her jogging pants hugged her slim figure and how her breasts rose up with every breath she took. Taylor caught Kevin staring at her when she started bringing the food over to the table. She just smiled back at him.
They sat together eating breakfast and had some light conversation. "So what do you want to do today Taylor. I actually have the day off if you are interested in doing something together?" Kevin asked as he finished off a piece of toast.
"Well I have a doctors appointment at 1pm this afternoon. I am not sure what kind of doctor he is, but he is going to determine whether I will have any permanent scars. I could really use your support today." Taylor said as she picked at her food.
"Of course I will go with you. You seem a little scared." Kevin said as he got up and put his arms around her shoulders.
"I am just praying Kevin that I won't have any permanent scars. I hate the way I look, and can't stand the thought of looking like this forever." Taylor said as she leaned back against Kevin.
"There is nothing wrong with the way you look Taylor, and you know that the bruises will go away. You know they are already starting to fade." Kevin said hoping to reassure her. But deep down inside, he knew she would not believe it until she heard it from the doctor that afternoon.
She reached up and kissed Kevin on the cheek and said, "Thanks Kevin, you’re a sweetie." With that she got up and started clearing the table. "I think I am going to go up and take a bath and get ready. But could I ask you to do me a favor Kevin. I need some help washing my hair. If I lean my head over the side of the tub, do you think you could help me wash my hair." Taylor said as she placed the last of the dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
"Can't say I have every washed a girls hair before, but I suppose I could give it a try." Kevin said as he moved closer to Taylor.
"It isn't any different than washing your own hair Kevin." Taylor said with a chuckle.
Kevin took a strand of her hair in between his fingers and said, "But there is so much more of it."
"Oh come on. You can do it." Taylor said as she turned to leave the kitchen laughing.
Half an hour later both Kevin and Taylor emerged from the washroom with both of them soaking wet. "That is the last time I wash your hair for you missy, I am not sure how I got more wet than you did." Kevin said while laughing.
"Oh what, you wouldn't want to have fun like that again." Taylor teased as she pulled a brush through her hair.
"What are you going to do to make it worth it for me?" Kevin asked with a smirk on his face.
Taylor walked over to Kevin and said, "Oh I think I could figure something out," before she lightly placed her lips on his. He brought his arms around her and put them on her waist and pulled her in closer as he deepened the kiss. Taylor brought her hands up and started running her fingers through Kevin's wet hair. The ringing of the telephone interrupted them. Kevin answered the phone in Taylor's room and continued staring at her as she sat down on the bed.
"Hey Brian, what's up." Kevin said.
"Oh I am not sure she would want to go out tonight, but I will ask. But I will be there for sure tonight." Kevin said as he hung up the phone.
"What was that all about?" Taylor asked as Kevin sat down beside her on the bed.
"Brian wants to know if the two of us want to go clubbing tonight. I would love it if you could come, but I didn't commit you." Kevin said, hoping she would say yes, but he also knew what the answer was going to be.
"Thanks for the invitation, but I think I will skip it. I love clubbing, but not quite ready to be seen like this in public. Have fun for both of us tonight." Taylor said as she faced the mirror to continue to brush her hair.
"It won't be as much fun without you, but I certainly will try. I guess we should start getting ready or you are going to be late for your doctor's appointment." Kevin said as he got up and left her room and closed the door behind him.
