I have a massive crush on Thomas Mcdonell, I think he' d play Taylers part well... This is how I picture him...
=====================

"A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?"

Butterflies in the stomach, I know cliché right? But it was accurate. I was nervous. My stomach was fluttering, like how you feel when you ride a roller-coaster that takes a sudden dip.

It was hard to keep myself centered when I've become chemically unbalanced. My palms were sweaty and my breathing was hitching. Did I have a crush on him too? If I did, I have to admit I have fallen ill to the Tayler madness.

My mind was a shamble - it was the initial unparalleled rush that creates lovelorn teens, and I was suceptible to it. He approached me casually, sure-footed and proud.

His voice was silky - both confident and gentle. It was attractive, so much so I found it pleasant. But what he said next excluded all pleasantries.

"Let's make this easy, your not my type. For the council's sake lets keep appearances"  he muttered making sure no one over heard.

I frowned, the guy was impertinent! By the time I thought of a good comeback my dad spoke.

"There you are peanut. I see you and Tayler are getting along."

"Ofcourse, we are sir" Tayler responded before I could. He placed his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to him. I elbowed him in protest but he held me even firmly.

"Vydra dear, your dad told us about your dreams and I suppose your tired of all the questions, but we are still in the process of figuring things out"  It was Mr.Blaylock, surprisingly his voice sounded concerned.

"Her dreams seem to be happening in the present ,we just have to find a way to get ahead of it, somehow"  Dad said.

"Before anything happens" Tayler's dad added.

The cluster of men began talking amongst themselves again ignoring me and Tayler. He still had his arms around me, I guess for show but he was getting on my nerves.

I shoved him a bit to let him know I was vexed. He didn't seem to mind, he might have found me amusing. I could see a devious smile form on his face. I narrowed my eyes in irritation. I could never win this, I said to myself. So, I did the crazy.

I mustered all the confidence I could. I decided to play Tayler's game. If I act like I was into him my dad's paternal instincs might kick in and call the whole thing off. He wouldn't allow some horn-dog to violate his youngest daughter. Plus, if that doesnt work out, I had nothing to loose. Our pack would benefit from the alliance. At the same time, getting the council off my back. This was a good thing, I thought. I was hoping, I did a better job in convincing myself though.

So, I set my plan in motion. Anxiously, I prayed hard that Tayler wouldn't detect how high strung I was. Still holding me in an almost embrace, I snaked my arm on his waist. He stiffened. He raised an eyebrow trying to decipher what I was up to.

"Hey dad, I'm heading upstairs, I need to do my homework" I bat my lashes at Tayler and smiled sweetly at my dad. Tayler must have been surprised since his hold of me loosened. Although his face didn't show any emotion I felt like he was entertained. This time, I was able to shrug him off.

"Tayler, Ill see you at school tomorrow"  I said it in the most flirtatious manner I could. My dad glowered at me and Tayler but mostly on Tayler.

I took my exit and headed for the stairs, I did glance back to see my dad returning to the councils conversation and Tayler shaking his head in disbelief. He mouthed the words ...

"Touche' Vydra touche'"  he smirked.

Finally, I got to the bedroom. I gave myself a pat on the back for being able to rise above Tayler's douchbaggery. I mean, he started it. Its not like he's all that, well, maybe a little.

He did smell good though, not the perfumed type. The smell was like a pleasant spring morning with a hint of honey dew and wood. Totally, aromatic. Too bad the guy is an ass.

I know that Tayler is the least of my worries but he had proven himself more troublesome than I expected.

I decided to watch tv, relax a bit. Much to my surprise, my cellphone rang, I saw the name that flashed on the screen. I was unnerved.

"Hello" I said.

"Hey V, can we meet?"

It took awhile for me to respond.

"Okay, where?"

It was Aiden...even without the caller ID, I would be able to recognize his voice. That silvery tone. I was smiling from ear to ear.

"Same place Ma'am"

I was surprised to hear him call me that, it was our term of endearment when we use to date.

"I'll be there Sir"  I could tell that he too was smiling over the phone.

As soon as we hung up, I stood up and checked what I was wearing. I realized I felt rather good after that phone call but surely didn't look it. I was a mess. My hair looks like birds are nesting on it. My clothes were comfy but very unflattering. I'm a fashion disaster. My clothes wont do. So, I went through my sisters cabinet instead. She wasn't here anyway.

It took me a while to decide, my sister as beautiful as she is - is a slob. Her clothes were a jumble, some even strewn on the floor. I picked up a cute tank top and added on a bit of makeup. I traded my comfy clothes for skinny jeans that was too tight for comfort, but was definitely form fitting. I wore nothing fancy but it was easy on the eyes.

I dashed to the front door.

"Where do you think your going, young lady?" My dad questioned.

Tayler seated next to my dad, gave me a look over. His expression was still nonchalant but his eyes were intense, and held my gaze.

"To Lorraine's! We have group work, I'll be back before you know it"

"Okay, make sure to call peanut!"  Dad said.

Tayler knitted his brows like he knew I was lying, but he didn't say anything thank God. I took a mental note to speak to my dad about calling me peanut, it was cute when I younger but now its just plainly embarassing.

I hurried along to meet Aiden. He was waiting for me at a diner called Rico's. The food there is totally amazing. Aside from the friendly waitstaff, the casual atmosphere made it the best place for hangouts.

Aiden looked nervous seated at one of booths fiddling around. I sat down in front of him. He gave me one of his million dollar smiles, showing off his pearly whites. Then there was awkward silence, it was like we were on our first date again, overwhelmed with the amount of intense emotions.

"Its nice to see you both back here, I'll take your orders now" one of the servers said with a playful wink at me and Aiden. 

We both laughed realizing that the server was the same one, who brought our food before when we use to date.

"Bring us the usual" Aiden said.

We both relaxed as we began the conversation with mostly small talk. Aiden, now at ease was in the zone being his normal charming self.

"Look Ma'am, I'm sorry there wasn't anything that I can do before"  he said apologetically.

"Its fine Sir, Sajie told me about the councils rulling"  I said in understanding.

"Your dad well, he wasnt keen in the idea of me dating you. He wanted you to live a normal life as much as possible. Your dad can be really scary"

I chuckled a bit, imagining my dad being all threatening and dissaproving.

"Really its not funny! I thought your dad would maul me. I felt like I was being strangled with his mind. I'm really sorry Ma'am. Dont you think I've been punished enough?" He asked

"Punished?"  I said. I don't mean to answer his question with another one but I didn't know where he was going with this.

"One word, NICOLE"  he said in utter anguish. I began to laugh.

"That awful huh?" I said pretending to pity him.

"Oh, I can't even begin to describe her. She treats me like her boy toy"

Ultimately, Aiden was very forthcoming with everything. He was just like I remembered him, but a little sweeter. Everything was great and combined with awsome food, I'd rate this little escapade a 10 out of 10.

The coversation became deeper as our dialogue became more serious.

"You do know I can challenge Tayler, right Ma'am?" He said this as a factual statement rather than a question.

I didnt know what to say. His words were like little arrows aiming for my heart. I was completly entranced by him. My heart and mind were both singing love songs and I felt like I was drifting away with wind.

I went home blissfully happy, also thanking the stars that the council meeting was over.Tayler was no where in sight. I went to my room finding my annoyed sister with her arms crossed.

"Is that my top?" She asked in irritation

"Yeah it is, you always nag me about how I looked so I borrowed it"

Sajie just rolled her eyes. I know she was saying a whole lot more but it was like she was on mute.

But even her nagging couldn't destroy my tranquil and estatic night, thanks to Aiden ...
