"What should we make?" Kristina asked. "We make spaghetti, hamburgs, hotdogs, or sandwiches." Isaac said. "And?" Kristina asked. "And we order a mean take out." Taylor added. "I don't believe this. Mom this is a handicap here, they can't do anything but order take out." Kristina complained. "What? Diana stop spoiling those kid, my god if anything happens to you, they'll all move in with me. Oh what a thought, more children. You're feeling okay right Diana?" Barbie pleaded. "Oh why me?" Kristina asked grabbing a head of cabbage, carrots, onion, from the fridge, moving to the counter pulling down a large bowl, and the grater off the wall. "Here Isaac." Kristina said. "Here what?" Isaac said. "Here make cole slaw, hun. What's it look like?" Kristina said. "Model for a still life drawing I'd guess." Isaac said. "Yeah but they usually use fruits not vegetables." Taylor said. Kristina shook her head, placed the cabbage on a chopping board and whacked it in half with a large knife, then again making quarters. "Here, like this." she said moving Isaac to the counter facing the bowl and she wrapped herself around him putting the grater in his left hand in the bowl and grabbing a quarter of cabbage in the right, began grating it up and down. "Up and down I get." Isaac said. "Up and down you no get, if you don't show me your worth it. Useless that's all I see. Another pretty face. You a dime a dozen Isaac." Kristina said walking to the cupboard and pulling out two loaves of french bread and returning to the counter, grabbing a bread knife and slicing them and laying them open. She opened the fridge, "Taylor stand there and take what I give you and put it on the counter" she ordered and started relaying the makings of sub sandwiches. "Done" she said as she started slicing onion, tomatoes, lettuce and opening deli sliced meats and cheeses. "Listen carefully Taylor. Am I going too fast?" Kristina teased. "You're asking for it." Taylor said. "No acually I've decided against that at the moment, not to keen on useless." Kristina said lightly coating the bread with a special sauce. "Taylor have you ever eaten a sub sandwich?" Kristina asked. "You're being mean now. Of course I have." Taylor said. "I'm sorry, lack of sleep, I was up until 3am for some reason. Do you think you can put one together with all this?" Kristina asked. "Yes ma'am." Taylor saluted. "I deserved that." Kristina said, adding, "But you do it again and I'll deck you." she said staring a Mom. "Wonder what's wrong with her? Somethings not right she's like never sick." Kristina said dialing the phone, "English Department, Professor Kendall please, his daughter Kristina." she said moving to Isaac's side. "He has to be there, he has a class in fifteen minutes. I should know I've signed up for it, transferring in, start on Monday. No, he's not my biological father, just my preferred, my father of choice, you might say. Thank you no, I'll ask him tonight." Kristina said dialing another number. "Daddy where are you, class starts in fifteen minutes." she said. "I know, running slow. How's Mother?" he asked. "Daddy that's why I called, what's up with Mom she's never sick and she definitely looks like she's going to heave. Wait a minute. Wow you won't believe it, she looks fine now. She's having a water fight with the kids. Must have been a bug that moved through fast. See you tonight Daddy." Kristina said and hung up, adding, "And I thought I was weird. You won't say it, if you know what's good for you." she warned Isaac handing him Salt and Pepper, and a spoon. "That's enough. Here and add it sparingly until it's all wet, not drowning. Isaac, I didn't mean to pick. I was worried about Mom is all." Kristina said leaning her head on his shoulder. "That's okay, I may not know a lot now, but I'm willing to learn." he said kissing the top of her head. "You learn real fast." Kristina said sliding herself between him and the counter, looking into his eyes, smiling. "Maybe when lunch is done, You'll lay down with me and take a nap?" Kristina asked. "I'd like that." Isaac said pressing his lips to hers, moving his lips softly over hers. "Oh I have lots to learn from you too." she whispered lost in his eyes. "Done" Taylor said. "That looks great Taylor, you're not so useless after all." Kristina said stepping towards him, "I'm sorry for the bitch routine. You didn't deserve it. Forgive me, I won't do it again. Taylor honest, it's not your fault. Just love her. Okay?" Kristina said hugging him. "I do Kristina, I already do." Taylor said hugging her tighter. "Hey what's going on with you two, something I need to know about?" Chele said making her way to them. "Wow sis, I thought you said you wouldn't dress up for the job. You look hot." Kristina said. "I said I wouldn't dress like a freak. I said nothing about being a plain Jane in a store full of hotties." Chele said. "Found it in Jessy's closet." she added. "She wore it yesterday but didn't look like that." Taylor said. "Thanks I think?" Chele laughed. "Baby you're on fire." Barbie said. "Mom you're feeling better. I'm glad, you ought to call Daddy, he was awfully worried." Chele said. "Already did." Kristina said "See he knows already. So what did you kids do? Wow great sub. Did you do that Taylor? Talented in the kitchen. Strong attribute I'd say." Barbie complimented staring at Chele. "I get it Mom, you're impressed with Taylor, Taylor doesn't need your help Mom, he does a fine job of convincing me on his own." Chele said smiling at Taylor, adding, "Hun will you help me with this choker and necklace?" she asked handing them to him and he fastened them both, then turned her to face him. "You look great. Want some lunch first?" Taylor asked. "Nah. It does look great, but I have a bad case of butterflies today." Chele explained. "You could walk me to my car, please?" she suggested. "Excuse us, I'm walking the prettiest girl in the world to her car and steal a kiss." Taylor said wrapping an arm around her walking her to her car. "Chele I wish you a great first day. I hope your boss realizes what a mistake he made and treats Jessy the same but if not I hope he turns into a toad." Taylor said. "Oh Taylor that's so nice of you to care about Jessy hun. She means the world to me." Chele informed him. "Hun I know, I see it in your eyes when you talk about her. She's not just your sister, she's your baby sister." Taylor said drawing Chele to him. "I thiink the world of you Chele, I couldn't sleep last night. I laid there thinking about you. Watching your window, praying for a glimpse of you. I sound pathetic don't I. I got it bad. Real bad." Taylor said pressing his lips to hers, moaning her name "Chele" as his lips moved softly over hers as he moaned "I love you". As his passion for her increased, he drew her tighter to his body, moaning her name again "Chele" as he rocked them slowly as he kissed her deeper and longer than ever before with such emotion "Taylor I love you" Chele moaned as she returned his kiss with everything she felt for him for all these years. Taylor was speechless when she drew back from their kiss. He watched her as her brown eyes danced, her smiled warmed his soul. "Chele you're her, I feel it, you are the girl I've been searching for all my life, the girl meant for me. You, Chele, I will spend the rest of my life with holding you, loving you, protecting you for the rest of our lives, just tell me you're her." Taylor pleaded with such a desperation in his voice and his eyes. "You better believe it. Now get your butt out of my way before I'm late to work. One of us better have a real job. Who knows what the fans are going to do when they find out about this. Boy Taylor, they're going to crucify me. Do you have any Idea what you've done to me by declaring your love." Chele asked as he opened the door to her car and watched as she slid her leather clad body into the seat. "Buckle up and drive safely, that's my life you have there." Taylor said as Chele lowered the window. He shut the door and leaned in the window, "Chele it's okay, I promise I won't any lunatics near you, well except the ones we're related to." Taylor said laughing. "That includes me you know, but who wants normal anyway right?" Chele laughed. "I'm coming to see you, you better be at work." Taylor warned as she backed out. "Bring your little brother for my sister." Chele said as she drove off.
