A Lot in Common...

Taylor had just gotten back from another intense morning with Conner. The strain that had him pushing her to new limits was beginning to take a toll on both her body and spirit. There was never any praise for Taylor's fast learning and lack of complaining. But then again, Taylor didn't want to be treated like a breakable doll either, but this was on the boarder line of torture. Well at least she could say that she had survived that last few weeks so far.

Taylor pushed the fallen blonde strands of hair out of her face. She could feel the sweat that covered her body and she wanted nothing more that to get in the shower and then sit down with a good book. She used to read all the time, but the more her schedule became crazy, the less time she really had to do anything for herself.

When she opened the front door to the apartment she was surprised to find Ryan running around with her head cut off. Ryan had these little booty shorts on and a tiny tank top. In one hand she had a spray of some sort and in the other a rather old looking rag. The music was turned up and Taylor couldn't help but to laugh as Ryan did a little dance around the living room.

"Hey! I didn't hear you come in." Ryan blushed and quickly turned the music down.

"What are you doing?"

"Cleaning." Ryan shrugged. Leave it to her to take an everyday task and make it into a mini party.

"Right…" Taylor nodded her head and smiled. "Well I'm going to get in the shower."

"When you're done, get dressed. The guys are taking us out for some fun tonight." Ryan said before turning the music back up and started to 'clean' again.

Taylor got dressed in a simple white tank top and a pair of short jean shorts. Pulling her hair up into a messy bun, Taylor walked out into the kitchen and found Ryan talking away with John and Randy who were making themselves at home with the food in the fridge.

"So I see you survived another day." Randy commented as Taylor walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of vitamin water.

"Barely, I swear, its like the guy lives to see me sweat or something." She sat on one of the stools that lined the island in the middle of the kitchen. Taylor and Ryan both noticed the looks that passed between the two men.

"What?" Taylor asked, suddenly self conscious that she had said something wrong.

"Well, you have a point about him going overboard thing, but every guy would pay big money to see you sweat." Randy said as if it were obvious. He didn't have a chance to duck away from Ryan smacking him.

"What was that for?" he winced rubbing the back of his head.

"For being a typical man," Ryan smirked and turned to John who was snickering in his chair. "Don't make me come over there Cena."

John stopped laughing and cleared his throat.

"What are we doing exactly?" Taylor changed the subject.

"We're going to six flags. The weathers supposed to be great for the rest of day. Plus you haven't really had much fun since you got here." John answered.

"So whose car are we taking? If we take John's, there is no way I'm going to listen rap the whole time." Ryan grimaced at the thought.

"We can take mine." Taylor volunteered. "But I don't want to drive so one of you guys can."

"I'll drive." John jumped at the opportunity.

"But I have one rule." Taylor smiled innocently.

"What?" John rose and eyebrow.

"No one touched the radio."

"Oh…" John looked bummed.

"Well let's get a move on people!" Ryan slid off the counter excitedly. Everyone followed her lead out into the parking lot.

"Here's my baby." Taylor pointed to her orange jeep wrangler.

All of a sudden Randy burst out into laughter, as he watched the look on John's face.

"What's so funny?" Taylor asked and looked over at Ryan who looked equally confused.

"John and I were talking about your Jeep this morning… and John was practically drooling over it! And come to find out it's your car and he likes…" Randy was suddenly cut off by John's hand slapping him upside the back of the head.

"Shut up." John said in a serious tone.

"Right…" Ryan open the driver side door and jumped into the backseat and Taylor followed.

John and Randy stood out side of the jeep for a few more seconds, the whole time John was glaring at him.

"Dude, I didn't mean to. It's not like I actually said it."

"Yeah, because I knocked you one." John shook his head and got into the drivers seat. Once randy was in the car and everyone was buckled up John started the car and the sound of Carrie Underwood's voice filled the car.

"I love Carrie, she's amazing." Ryan said. All of a sudden another voice filled the car and sounded just as amazing. "Who's she singing with?"

"We don't need listen to this." Taylor blushed and reached up to change the CD. Randy beat her to it and looked at the design on the CD.

"Carrie and Taylor…" He read out loud. "Fun times in the studio."

"Oh yeah!" Ryan made the connection. "I remember now, you and Carrie did a duet CD together for that fundraiser for cancer. So that was you singing."

"You sing to." Randy looked amused and laughed.

"What now?" Taylor asked.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that you and John have a lot in common." He smiled.

"You sing?" Taylor looked at John who kept his eyes on the road.

"No, I don't sing." He answered.

"I don't get it then."

"John raps." Ryan filled her in. "And from what else I know, you guys have the same favorite color, you have the same taste in cars and you both are very motivated." Ryan listed.

The whole time Taylor kept her eyes on John and watched as his face got redder and redder. They did have a lot in common. Taylor began to wonder if she would ever have a chance with a guy as good as John. She could only wish that a guy as down to earth and as nice as him would have any interest in her at all.

Little did Taylor know that her life was about to change forever…
