'Why does she look so good?' Brandon thought to himself as he looked over to the chocolate brown legs he saw in his passenger's seat. He couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she was when the door first opened. Red was an amazing color against her skin tone and he wanted to see what was under it as well. Taylor soon broke the awkward silence in the car.

"Soo, what kind of music do you listen to?" She said nervously looking down at her legs.

"I like all kinds of stuff really; do you listen to Kendrick?"

"Who is Kendrick?" Taylor said looking at Robert questioningly.

"– You are joking right? Kendrick Lamar? Swimming Pools? Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe?" He said in shock that she didn't know who he was. He started to fumble for his CD and put it into the player. The beginning of Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe started to play and he kept staring at her waiting to for her "Oh yeah" moment.

"No, sorry?" Taylor said laughing.

"What music DO you listen to?" He said still in shock laughing along with her.

"Umm, well I am in loooove with show tunes and some old classics like Etta James, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald..ahh now that's music." She said smiling just thinking about it.

Brandon didn't know if he was more taken back by her answer or her smile. It was so beautiful. He didn't even know what show tunes were and he didn't think that anyone in 2013 still listened to Billie Holiday and whatever other names she said.

"The fuck is show tunes? And wait, how old are you again? Because we could go to my grandmother's house instead?" Brandon said laughing hard.

"Whatever! That stuff is way better than what we have today! And for your information show tunes are songs that are from Musicals, ahh my favorite is Wicked!" She said trying to enlighten him.

"Well you should show me sometime?" He said with a smile and noticed that she had a shy grin on her face.

The two finally arrived to the restaurant and it was Taylor's favorite place. He parked the car and got out to open her door. He also wanted to get a look of her curvaceous body coming out of his car. He took her hand and she stepped outside of the door and tripped. Brandon caught her in his arms as she fell right into them.

"You okay?" He said inches away from her lips.

"Umm..umm yeah I'm o – okay." She said nervously looking into his eyes.

Taylor noticed that he was not looking into her eyes but at something else – her lips. She instantly thought that she had something embarrassing on her face and tried to pull away from his arms. He got the idea and let her go. He was in awe of how thick her lips were and how soft they looked to him and he wanted to kiss them right then and there.

Brandon then grabbed her hand and walked towards the restaurant in silence. The two ate dinner and talked a lot about their likes and dislikes. Taylor found out that Brandon was 21; his birthday was the same month as hers, April, which meant that he was also an Aries. She also found out that he has two younger sisters and an older brother. While he was talking she couldn't help but stare at him with a smile on her face. At one moment, Taylor had some sauce from her pasta under her mouth and Brandon told her and wiped it away from her face with his thumb. Everything was going perfect and Taylor felt like she was in a movie with this guy. She didn't understand how she could be so lucky that this amazing man would even notice her. She was going to thank god tonight.

After they finished their amazing date, Brandon drove Taylor back home and couldn't believe that he had agreed to do this dare to someone so perfect to him. He had to tell his friends that he was going out of the dare before things went any further with the two of them. They stopped in front of her house and the car was silent.

"Uh, I just want to thank you for tonight Brandon. Really, I needed that and I hope we can see each other again." Taylor suddenly realized what she had just said and immediately felt embarrassed if he didn't want to see her again after tonight.

"Of course, I would like that...a lot actually." Brandon said with a smile on his face though feeling bad about everything.

While there was another awkward silence, he leaned in to kiss her and then was stopped by a phone ring. 'I hate whoever this is' Brandon thought silently to himself before answering the phone.

"Yeah? Dude, not now...let me call you back later...ok..bye." It was Robert asking about how the date went and going on about how he was going to win the dare.

"So, uhh I will see you later I guess?" Taylor said noticing the awkward change in the air. She went for her door and then Brandon stopped her and pulled her face into his hands.

"I have been waiting to do this all night." He said truthfully.

Taylor was trembling and was so nervous for what was about to happen. She had never really been kissed before...not by anyone like this at least. She opened her mouth to say something and then he kissed her. Taylor immediately closed her eyes and felt like she was on cloud nine and no one could bring her down. His lips were so soft and perfect. She felt one of his hands move into her hair and then she placed her arms around his neck. He tried to part her mouth open and successfully slipped his tongue inside. They were as close as they could possibly be right now and Taylor felt as if she was going to burst. She never had this feeling before and she never wanted it to go away.

He was just about to pull her onto his lap when he heard a car pull up into the driveway. It was her mom. He pulled away from the kiss and opened his eyes to the most beautiful woman that he has ever seen.

"You are so beautiful Taylor."

Taylor opened her eyes and saw him looking at her like she was an angel. No one had ever even noticed her until today and for him to be looking at her like that - she felt like she was finally somebody. For once, she finally felt beautiful. She couldn't even find the words to say so instead, she just smiled at him. Brandon took her hand and kissed it and then got out of the car to open her door for her. Taylor felt like a princess with him treating her like this. She took his hand and this time, successfully got out of the car without tripping.

"You are a great person Taylor. I'm happy that we went out tonight."

"Thank you Brandon. Me too." Taylor looked up and noticed her mom was looking at them through the window with a huge smile on her face. She reminded herself to start a search for her own place immediately after this.

"Well, my mom is kind of staring at us, sooo I think I'm gonna go now." Taylor said with a soft smile.

"Ok, I will call you." He said, moving a strand of hair out of her face.

Taylor wanted to melt at that moment. She kissed him on the cheek, waved goodbye, and walked into her house. She was grinning so big. She couldn't help but show her happiness.

Brandon admired her hips sway as she walked away, he couldn't help but smile. He just stood outside of his car thinking about the day's events. He had to get out of this dare immediately. He could see himself with her for real; and he didn't want anyone else to have her at that moment. Robert was about to get a visit.

Taylor walked into the kitchen where she heard footsteps moving.

"Nice try mom, I saw you!" Taylor winked at her mom.

"Baby girl, I just couldn't help it! He's CUTE! How was it? I'm so proud of you!"

"Mom, stop calling me baby, I'm almost 21, goodness! And...It was alright." Taylor said smiling and walking away towards her room.

She knew if she told her mother anything else, she would be asking questions all night. Taylor had to go charge her phone in case if he would be calling her tonight. Once she got in her room, she looked in the mirror and instantly felt a ping of confidence in herself.

Time had passed by and it was now midnight. She fell asleep on her bed waiting by her phone. She was woken by her ringer and checked to see who it was: Brandon.

"Hello?"

"Hi gorgeous, I'm sorry if I woke you up, its late I know but I just had to hear your voice again."

Taylor giggled and smiled. "That's so nice."

There was a silence for a while.

"So, do you remember if we had any homework?" She suddenly felt dumb for asking because she knew exactly what the homework was and already completed it earlier.

Brandon laughed and said, "Tay, you already told me that you finished it."

Taylor smiled at the fact that he nicknamed her already. "Oh yeah, I guess I forgot. What do you want to talk about?" She said trying to change the subject.

"You."

Taylor giggled and then that's what they did. They talked about her, they talked about him, and they talked about everything for two hours. It was like they had known each other all of their life. Taylor thought everything was just too perfect and something about this was off. She wouldn't worry about it too much though because she liked how things were going right now.

****One week later****

It was now the end of the week and things between Taylor and Brandon were going great. They hung out everyday, talked on the phone every night, and Brandon had even thought about taking Taylor to a musical.

The only real problem was that Brandon still didn't tell her about the dare. The night that he dropped Taylor off, he went to Robert's and told him how he was done with the dare. Robert asked him why and Brandon proceeded to tell him. Robert couldn't believe that he was actually falling for a girl like her. Robert and Brandon had been friends for as long as they could remember. Neither ever showed any interest in black girls. They always dated and hung out with white girls. Of course, there was talk in their group of how they all wanted to try one to see if what they say about them is true, but he noticed that Brandon never said anything. When he asked him about it, Brandon just told him, "There is more out there, you can't just have a closed mind." Robert wondered about how he would look with a black girl. As he thought about it, they were kind of hot to him...exotic was the word he was thinking. Maybe this Taylor girl had a friend for him?

While they were in class, Robert just stared at Taylor in interest. He noticed her hair was different than any white girl's that he's seen. He noticed that her lips were big and looked extremely soft to kiss. Her chocolaty skin looked so flawless and beautiful to him suddenly. When she bent down to pick up her pencil, he noticed that she was shaped like an hourglass. He started to feel a twitch in his pants from just thinking about her and how his skin would look against hers in bed. He immediately shook the thoughts out of his head seeing as she was now, his best friends girl. He had to get a girl like her, he thought. After class was over, Taylor and Brandon got up and walked over to each other and started walking out of the class. Robert caught up with them and said,

"Hey, I'm Robert!"

"Oh, Hi! My name is Taylor." She said looking up at him with a smile.

Brandon acted as if he was clearing his throat. "Ahem, what? do you need something bro?"

"No, I just wanted to introduce myself...you know? Umm Taylor, have any friends?" He said, not being subtle at all.

Brandon gave him the strangest look that said 'What the fuck are you doing'.

"Friends? Yeah, I have friends. Why?" She said nervously.

"I was thinking, maybe we can do a double date?"

"Why do you want to go on a double date?"

"Get to know your girlfriend better and hang out with you dude!" He said reassuringly.

Did he just say girlfriend? Taylor thought to herself and smiled. "Yeah we can do that!"

"Cool." Robert said and walked away.

"Umm that was, surprising?" Taylor said laughing.

"Yeah, strange too. I will see what he's up too later!" Brandon said laughing. "Oh and I have a surprise for you later tonight."

'A surprise? Oh no, what if he means sex? I'm so not ready for that.' Taylor thought in her head. "Oh, a surprise?" She said with an awkward laugh.

"Stop haha, you will love it don't worry." He said kissing her lips softly. "Hey, I have to go but I will catch up with you later. Bye Tay!" He kissed her again ad then walked away.

Taylor was a mess inside. She couldn't stop thinking of what he meant by this "surprise". But his kisses made her feel better about everything, especially since he did it in public. She went to go sit down and eat her apple. She noticed a tall skinny brunette girl with green eyes that walked like she thought she was a 'bad bitch' coming towards her. She tried to remember if she knew her from somewhere but she couldn't.

"Just what do you think you are doing?" She said with the bitchiest attitude.

"I'm eating an apple?" She said genuinely confused.

"I meant with Brandon." She said staring at her coldly.

"Oh, um who are you?" She said laughing nervously.

"Bitch, I'm his g i r l f r i e n d.!"

Taylor's mouth dropped and she suddenly felt tears creep up into her eyes. She knew that things were too good to be true.
