About the story: Zac & Taylor's relationship broke up when they got caught kissing by the press and their career were over in a split of a second. To continue a normal life and to take a break from his brother, Taylor starts to study at a College in London but the long distance between them can't stop their feelings for each other.
Thanks for your patience, here's another Update. Have fun to read how the story progresses...
“I didn’t want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful,” he said honestly.
I sat up abruptly and glanced at the windows behind us. I looked out at the empty runway and then looked back at Zachary- my lips parted in shock.
“Zac- we missed our flight because I looked peaceful while I was sleeping? Please, tell me you’re joking!”
“Sorry,” he said, looking a bit sheepish and shameful for once. “I guess it wasn’t the smartest thing to do…”
“Not the smartest thing to do!? Zachary, we missed our flight!” He was crazy. There was no other explanation for the madness. Who in their right mind watches their plane board and leave because the person sleeping on their lap looks peaceful? Is there anyone else in the entire world, besides my completely ridiculous brother, who would ever do that?!?
He shrugged. “I bet we can find another one…”
“Oh my god…” I shook my head slowly- in awe. How was I going to survive weeks of this? Maybe even months… Zachary’s flakiness was beyond words.
“Don’t be mad at me,” he said really genuinely, making eye contact with me for a moment and pleading with his eyes alone. “I swear to god, I honestly just felt bad waking you up.”
I sighed and stood up. “From now on, I am in charge of details for this trip. Got it?”
“As long as you don’t suck the fun out of everything.”
I gave him an annoyed look and without a word, marched off to the podium near by to explain the situation. The lady behind the counter was even more irritated than me. She wasn’t as used to Zac’s spontaneous, ridiculous craziness. Fortunately, she found a flight
leaving in three hours and there was no additional fee for the change of flight.
I went back to Zac, grabbed my book, and began to walk away. I needed a cigarette to
calm down. It’s not that easy to get annoyed by Zachary because he’s so nice, to the people he likes at least. Most of the time.
But sometimes he’s just so puzzling you don’t even know what to do with yourself.
He was exhausting me already and he’d only been in London for a few days.
“Where are you going?” he called after me.
“To get something to eat.”
“I’ll treat!” he yelled after me, scooped up his man
purse, and ran to catch up with me.
I wasn’t as annoyed when we sat down in the little airport restaurant after my cigarette break. Zachary ordered us fancy, frozen mixed drinks and that improved my mood a lot. He also ordered me the mozzarella cheese sticks for me without me even having to ask him to, and since they’re my favorite appetizer anywhere we go, I was really happy.
After one drink, I was even able to laugh about the incident.
“Who does that!?” I laughed. “I didn’t even know what to say to you I was so stunned.”
“What would you have done?” he defended himself.
“Woken you up and gotten on the fucking plane,” I laughed.
“And that’s why you’re boring and conventional.”
“So causing us to miss our flight so you could sit there and stare at me sleeping is so exciting?”
“I didn’t say that,” he clarified and dipped a mozzarella stick into my sauce.
At one point we saw our waitress, who was a young girl, talking to some of her fellow waitresses across the restaurant. The conversation was brief, but it was apparent that she was pointing us out. After everything that has happened to us over the years- from the success of Mmmbop to our love scandal, we have really good radar for people talking about us.
She laughed with her coworker and then walked off to the kitchen to do something.
Zachary notice and narrowed his eyes at her. “Did you see our waitress?”
“Yeah,” I shrugged.
“She’s probably talking shit about us. Did you see her laugh? Could you see her face?
What a bitch… why do people talk about things that aren’t any of their business?”
I couldn’t tell if it was a rhetorical question or not, but I know sometimes with Zachary it’s just good to let him talk and to listen to him. I nodded and took a bite of my mozzarella stick- catching the hot cheese in my hand.
“It just astonishes me how rude people are right in front of your face. Maybe she was pointing you out… checking you out...." he grumbled. "Maybe she wants to bang you.” his humor very dry and sadistic suddenly.
“Maybe she was telling her coworker that she wants to have a threesome with the two of us,” ,
I shrugged- in an attempt to loose the situation.
When she returned to our table with our entrees, Zachary had to open his big, fat mouth, as usual.
“I couldn’t help but notice you were talking about us to your friend,” he said casually as she set his BLT in front of him.
“Oh,” she paused, taken back and trying to figure out how to respond. “Yeah… I recognized who you are so… well, I was just telling her that I’m serving Taylor Hanson.”
He raised an eyebrow. “And Zac Hanson!”
She turned suddenly to me and stared at me, her eyes searching my face for traces of what I used to look like.
“This is your brother?”
"Right."
"Oh, wow." She blushed a little.
"There's nothing wow about it."
Now he was just picking fights for the sake of picking fights. Was it really necessary? Couldn't he just accept his sandwich and take a bite like a normal person? As much as I loved his aggression in my own twisted way, it was exhaustion.
"Zac," I mumbled although I knew it was futile. "Just don't worry about it."
Zac raised an eyebrow at her. "What's so wow about this being my brother?"
"I just didn't know..." she fumbled. It's funny. Almost everyone knows who we are because of the drama when we were young. I think that made us 10 times more famous than MMMBop did. We are nortorious for it.
"Know what?" he said. Zachary eggs people on. He doesn't take any shit from anybody.
"That you two... well it's none of my business, really... but I just didn't realize you two were still allowed to- you still- like I said, it's none of my business." She really wasn't too rude from my point of view, but the way she said "were still allowed" implied us that she had the "older brother molests little brother" point of view. He looked like he was about to flip a shit.
"You're right. It's not any of your business," he began.
I reached across the table and set my hand on top of his. "May I have more water please?"
I nodded at my cup.
She snatched it and ran off before Zac could chew her out. He gave me an annoyed look as she walked away.
"Don't get me started," I shook my head. "I will not allow you to turn a nice dinner into a big yelling match between you and the waitress. For my sake. Just don't."
He seemed confused that I had taken such a stand with him, and to be honest, I was surprised with myself. He looked like he wanted to argue, but he didn't. He just closed his mouth, looked down at his BLT, and began to inspect it. Zachary inspects everything before putting it in his mouth...
There was definite hostility between us and the waitress for the rest of the dinner, but nothing was really said. Zac paid like he promised, with his credit card, and although he didn't tell me at the time because he knew I'd protest, he later revealed that he tipped her 1 cent.
Fucking nut.
