“So... that’s why things between those two are weird as hell?” He asked, running his fingers through his hair.
“Yeah,” I said, sighing heavily.
“Well, now I’m wondering who has it worse, you or me…” he muttered. I gave him a sympathetic smile.
“For what it’s worth, I think things will get better,” I offered.
“So, who will you pick?” He asked, picking up a few fries. My eyes widened as I stared up at him, my heart thundering at his words.
“Pick?” Taylor nodded, his warm eyes full of concern and curiosity.
“Yeah, because it’s obvious from everything you just told me that you’re going to have to pick one…” My heart skipped a beat, and I nodded.
“Yeah, that has been on my mind… but how am I supposed to do that without feeling guilty?” I asked the one question that haunted my thoughts.

“You are going to feel guilty, but we both know staying in this situation is hurting you all,” he said softly. I could feel how bad he felt saying that, but it was the truth. “Putting aside everything... let’s play a game. I ask a question, and you pick which one you would choose,” he added, slapping his thigh as the idea popped into his head.
Putting aside everything… the curse included. Because that was what I used to make myself feel better every time I felt guilty for how I was treating Damon, but that was not an excuse.
“Okay…” I said, playing with the tab on my can.
“Now, picture them both standing right there... which one will you hug first?” I frowned as the answer came to me.
“Liam… because-”
“We’re not justifying why here. Block that all out and just think about your instant answers, I don’t want any breaks, you have to answer fast, okay? Whoever comes to mind first.”
“Okay,” I groaned.
“Both are hurt in a battle with rogues. Which one will you tend to first?”
“Liam,” I said, feeling another flash of guilt through me. No matter the answer, I still felt guilty.
“If you did something that they told you not to, who will you confess to first?”
“Damon.”
“Who do you want to fuck?”
“Li- hey!” Taylor chuckled.
“Soo… you done it yet? Details… now!”
“Stop it! We haven’t!” I said, blushing as I remembered what had happened earlier.
Oh, my dear Goddess, that was naughty! Liam was naughty… that side of him…. My heart skipped a beat, and I pushed it away.
“Okay, then, which one do you want to cuddle up to in bed?”
“Liam…”
“Cuddle with over a movie?”
“Both?” I pouted. “They both came to mind!”
