Love Me For Me

I said yes to your number
And yes to you dating me
Yes we can be together
But you gotta wait for me
The first time I said no
Its like I never said yes

I said yes we can be together
Yes you can stay with me
But when I say no not tonight
You actin so ungratefully
The first time I said no
Its like I never said yes

Taylor Mckessie was a very strong minded girl. She was very independent and still is. Everyone respected her and well she was what guys would describe her as attractive. Yet, she's not the type of girl to let those compliments go to her head. She just wants to find that one guy, that one special person she can count on to live the rest of her life with. The relationship that she is recently in is well, it's horrible! Mark Preston is his name. His athletic and…..well that's all you can really say about him. She met him at a party and although he seemed sweet and sincere, he still had this cocky attitude.

You was on the wall
I was with my crew
You was watching me baby
I was watching you
Slowly you walked over
I maintained my cool
You said hello to me
I said hello to you

You ask me where I'm from
I asked you what you do
You somehow intrigued me
I thought you were so cool
Somewhere between hi and goodbye
I felt so comfortable
I felt like we could talk all night
So I gave my number to you

I said yes to your number
And yes to you dating me
Yes we can be together

Well she knew that she had to watch out for him but he didn't give any hints that he was just using her. They have been together for a year, but it wasn't exactly the romantic, go out on dates, have a nice time, share a passionate kiss type of relationship. It was more like I take you out on the first date and we move to the next level. Taylor wasn't ready for that. She was waiting for the right time. As a matter of fact, they have never kissed!

But you gotta wait for me
The first time I said no
Its like I never said yes

I said yes we can be together
Yes you can stay with me
But when I say no not tonight
You actin so ungratefully
The first time I said no
Its like I never said yes

Weird right? The night of their first date was simple. They just went to eat at a restaurant. They talked and learned a lot about each other. They had nothing in common. Months past and it seem like Taylor was getting tired of him and he wasn't the guy she thought he was at first. He started to lie, he hung out more with his friends other than her, and he even started to flirt with other girls!

Certainly you can call me baby
I love to hear from you
Yes of course you can come and see me boy
I wanna get to know you more
Sure I'm feeling you
No baby, not yet
We can't take that next step
Why you getting so upset, boy you
Act as though I never told you yes before
You are so ungrateful
ummm ummm ummm

You was at my house
I was sitting on the couch
You was really buggin
So I told you to get out

All they did was argue and argue and argue! It made no sense! As many tears it brought Taylor, she steady went back to him. Not because she was weak, but because she thought that many people make mistakes and they need a second chance. FUCK THAT! He was no good. He was never going to change.

I had been misjudging you
You had a lotta nerve, you
Too damn old to be so immature
I hope you learn
You said I move to slow
I showed you to the door
You said you call me later
I said don't call no more
Its cool if you can't wait for me
I'm glad you let me know
Cuz you showed me your true face baby
The first time I said no

I said yes to your number
And yes to you dating me
Yes we can be together
But you gotta wait for me
The first time I said no
Its like I never said yes

I said yes we can be together
Yes you can stay with me
But when I say no not tonight
You actin so ungratefully
The first time I said no
Its like I never said yes

She was sitting in the living of her condominium, on the couch, trying to watch TV. That was one way she could get her mind off of things. Then she heard a knock on her door. At first she just stared at the door, then there was another knock on the door and she sighed. The third knock came and she got up to see who it was. Her first thought that maybe it would be Mark. But they are over. Well, that's what Taylor believes.

She opened the door and it was none other than her friend/ ex boyfriend Chad Danforth. Exboyfriend, you question? Well yes. See, Taylor and Chad has known each other for a very long time. They were high school sweet hearts. But then college came and they kind of lost communication and they thought that their relationship wouldn't last. They mutually decided to just be friends. Being as young as they were, they really didn't know what being in a relationship really meant. Now that they are older it's different. They have a lot in common and they really like being around each other. They also share a secret. A secret no one would know about. Their feeling that they had for each other never left and well you can say they are still in love with one another! No more questions. Let's just see how their relationship as friends will play out or if their feelings will get the best of them.

"Hey Chad!" Taylor said hugging him.

"Hey!" Chad replied hugging her back.

They stood there for a couple of seconds but it seemed forever. Then Taylor pulled away.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"A friend can't come see another friend?" he asked back.

"Charming….and sweet."

Chad just stared at Taylor knowing that something was bothering her and she just wouldn't tell. He already knew what the situation was and who it involved. "Taylor, did Mark do something to you….again?" he asked stressing "again".

She looked down. "Is it that obvious?"

"Well I don't know who else can tell but I can. Maybe that's just because I've known you for a long time."

"Do you want to come in?"

"I wouldn't mind. But you're going to tell me everything that happened."

She moved to the side and he came in. She closed the door then sighed. They sat down on her couch neither said a word.

"Alright Taylor, tell me what happened."

She sighed again then spoke. "Chad, there is nothing wrong. I just feel like my trust was taken for granted and I don't think I can really trust anyone again."

"Well you can trust me. I will never lie to you."

"I know I can trust you. You are an amazing man, Chad."

"Thanks. You know what?"

"What?"

"Let's go somewhere," Chad smiled.

"What?! Going to places every time I feel bad is really getting old."

"It was just a suggestion," Chad frowned.

"I would love to go with you, though!" Taylor smiled.

"Come on let's go."

They left Taylor's condo and Chad took to go see a movie and went to a nearby.

Chad was a wonderful guy and he really did understand Taylor. He really did know how to make her happy. Umm….wait…..do you think Chad is the guy that Taylor needs in her life? Maybe he is. Well…we're going to find out sooner or later. And I know for some you can't wait so let's just make it sooner!
