‘If I act really strange around you and all, I am soooo sorry! It’s just that I am like the biggest fan, and well, to have Taylor Hanson in my house and his mom maybe going to teach me to sing, I well, it’s just….’ I shook my head in the amazement of the situation.
‘It’s ok! I understand. As long as you don’t scream at me!’ he laughed.
I laughed with him.
‘Actually, I’m pretty composed to what I expected I’d be if I ever met you! I was sure I’d faint or something!’
‘It’s ok! Only one person has ever done that to me, thank goodness! But I really like fans. Especially like you. I mean, ones I can actually talk to, you know?’ he mumbled and I think he was even blushing a little!
I nodded, then realizing what I was actually doing out here, grabbed a few things that were in the back of the van.
‘So, how do you like Tulsa? I heard you only moved here a week or so ago.’
Barely managing to put together a sentence, I shrugged, not able to tear my eyes away from him. I must have been seriously creeping him out.
‘Oh yeah. It’s ok. I guess I’m still wishing I was back in LA, but it’s nice enough. Actually, mom’s biggest selling point was that you lived here!’ I admitted sheepishly.
He laughed.
‘She kept on and on, Hanson live there! Hanson live there! You might get to meet Taylor, blah blah. I told her I didn’t buy it, I didn’t let on I was way excited! I mean how big is Tulsa, and how often are you home? But, believe me, I was majorly excited!’
‘Well, if you are a big fan then I guess it kinda paid off?’ he smiled and I realized he was flirting with me.
The color rose in my cheeks.
He noticed it too.
‘So, um… what’s your school like? I guess you go to school?’
‘Yeah. I’m a junior at Glenpool High. It’s pretty cool. I actually got a part in the Drama class’ series on the first day so that was great. Oh, is that true that you have moved? I have been hearing it everywhere.’
‘Yeah. We actually live about five minutes from here in Bixby. It’s great! I finally have my own room, and there’s a huge property. It’s kinda near your school actually!’
‘Really? Wow! So, how come you’re home?’
He grabbed some other things and closed the door.
We started to walk back to the house.
I only just resisted the urge to grab him and kiss him.
‘Oh, we’re working on MOE, and taking a rest from touring for awhile. We’ll be home for about a month.’
A whole month!
‘Cool. It must be great to be home. See all your friends and stuff?’
‘Yeah it’s really amazing. Oh! One of our friends goes to your school! Do you know Louise Bouncer? She’s a junior too.’
‘I know a Louise. Does she hang out with a Sarah and a Kate?’
‘Yeah! Sarah Sully?’
‘Yep! Really! Wow! Yeah, the first day, Sarah was really nice to me and asked me if I wanted to be her bud!’ I laughed.
