Never Judge a Book By Its Cover
Chapter 16
I fell asleep quickly, thinking only of one person. The only person that I really cared about at that certain moment in time. Brian. I wanted him near me so bad. At about midnight I heard a soft tap on my door. I turned over and looked into the dark as someone walked in.
"Hello?" I asked sleepily.
"Kaitlyn?"
"Yeah? Who is that?" I asked as the person sat on the edge of my bed.
"It's Brian."
"Brian! How'd you get in here?" I asked throwing my arms around him.
"Erika called me. She told me to come over. She said she had heard you crying all night," he said as he pulled the covers up and slipped into bed next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I placed my head on his chest.
"Yeah. I don't want to leave, Brian, I really don't."
"Then don't. You can't," he said holding me tighter against his chest.
"I already told you. I don't have a choice."
"Well promise me that when you're done with school that you'll come and live with me."
"Brian, by then you'll have moved on. I think maybe it's best if we just go our seperate ways now. It'll save us both a lot more heartbreak in the future."
"No. I need you to be here. I've never gotten like this over a girl before. You're so special to me. I can't stand the thought of you not being here tomorrow." I sighed and draped my arm around his waist, with my head still on his stomach. I wanted so badly to just be able to say 'You know what? Screw it! I'm staying here.' But I couldn't. I couldn't do that to my mom. She needed me. Who knows when my dad would be back again.
"Brian, I love you, and you know that, but I just can't," I said near tears. Having him with me made me feel better and worse all at the same time. My head was spinning, I needed sleep.
"I know it, baby. It'll be okay. We'll get through this. Don't cry anymore, okay?" I nodded silently.
"Good. Now, get some sleep," he said playing with my hair. I nodded my head again as a single tear dropped from my eye and onto his shirt. He pulled me closer to him and I fell asleep quickly.
***About 7 hours Later***
I woke up that morning at about 7:00. I rolled over, expecting to find Brian, but instead there was a note.
It read:
"Morning baby. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up, but I thought it would be best if I left before your uncle came in your room this morning and killed us both. I know he already hates me, I just don't want to make that worse. Call me when you wake up. I want to spend all the time I can with you today. I love you. Always, Brian." I sighed and buried my head into my pillow, thinking only of him. Someone knocked on my door.
"Come in," I said. My voice was muffled because my head was still in my pillow. The door creeped open. I turned over to see my uncle coming in with a strange grin on his face. I wanted to smack it off of him.
"Good morning!" he said opening my blinds. "You'd better get up now so you can get packed. You have to catch your plane at noon today."
"I know," I said rudely.
"There's muffins downstairs. I have to go into work today, so I won't be here at all. Have a safe trip!" he said and leaned down and kissed my forehead. I cringed.
"Bye Kaleb," I said emotionlessly. I just wanted him to leave me alone.
"Maybe you can come back next summer. Bye Katie," he said waving as he walked out my door and shut it behind him. I wanted to jusy kill him! Not only had he ruined my life, but he had just called me KATIE!!! I hate that stupid name! Have I mentioned that, yet? Ugh...Anyway, I rolled over and picked up the phone dialing Brian's number.
"Hello?" I heard a tired voice of a girl on the other end.
"Hi...uh...Jenn?"
"Yeah...who's this?"
"It's Kaitlyn. Is Brian around?"
"Yeah...hold on," she said placing the phone down. Then I heard her yell Brian's name. There was no answer. "I think he's in a shower...I'll tell him you called."
"No need to, I'm coming over."
"Alright. See ya."
"Bye!" I said hanging up the phone. I ran around my room getting ready. I wore a pair of really short shorts and a royal blue spaghetti strap tank top. My hair was pulled into a loose bun. I grabbed my purse and sunglasses, then headed out my bedroom door. Erika was just leaving her room, too, fully dressed.
"Where ya goin?" she asked as we walked down the stairs side-by-side.
"Over to Brian's. Wanna come so you can see Nick?"
"Sure!" she said walking faster. When we reached the bottom of the stairs, I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the muffins that my uncle had told me about, then off we went in the silver Eclipse.
We climbed the stairs up to Brian's apartment and knocked on the door softly. Jenn opened the door half asleep.
"I tried to stay awake, just to let you guys in!" she mumbled, opening the door.
"Long night with AJ, huh?" I asked grinning.
"Loooooong night with AJ! He doesn't know how to stop! I ain't complainin' though!" she said. We all laughed. I placed the muffins on the counter, then walked down the hall to the bathroom. I heard the water from the shower still going, so I went inside.
"Hey baby," I said shutting the door behind me.
"Kaitlyn?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey sweetie! I'm sorry I left this morning."
"No, it's okay. My uncle sure would have killed us both if you were there when he woke up. I'd probably be back in Chicago by now! So why are you up so early?"
"I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was you."
Why does he always have to be so FREAKING SWEET? ugh...it's going to be soooo hard to say goodbye! Where will I EVER in a million years find a guy like this again? Most likely never!
I didn't know what to say. I just felt like crying. I didn't want to leave, but I knew I didn't have a choice. I heard the water turn off.
"Hey baby, will you do me a favor and hand me my towel?" asked Brian, standing on the other side of the shower curtain. 'Hmm...should I mess with him a litte...or should I just hand it over?' I thought to myself. 'Let's mess with him!'
"No," I said laughing lightly. "You'll have to get it yourself!"
"Come on! Just hand it over!"
"Sorry no can do!"
"Kaitlyn, please?"
"Nope!"
"Come on!"
"Come out here and get it yourself! It's not like I've never seen your little friend before!" I said laughing.
"So? Hand it over!"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"It all the way over there, and I'm way over here!"
"Yeah, but you're closer to it then I am! Pretty please?"
"No!"
"FINE!" he said as he stepped out of the shower. "Is this what you wanted?" he asked crossing the bathroom and getting his towel.
"Yeah! Now that you mention it!"
"Come here," he said wrapping the towel around his waist. I did, and he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.
"Brian! Now I'm all wet!" I said looking down at myself. Brian just laughed.
"That was the point!" he said wrapping his arms around me again and kissing me again. He slid his hand up my shirt and took it off. Things were really getting hot in there, when Nick busted in the bathroom. I was sitting on the counter with my legs around Brian, wearing my shorts and my bra, and Brian was pressed against me with only a towel on. I'm sure that was not a very plesant sight for Nicky's virgin eyes. Or at least I thought he was a virgin...who know what him and Erika have been doing!
"Okay, that's sick!" said Nick covering up his eyes.
"Well then get out, moron!" said Brian throwing a comb at him. Nick dodged it, but still got hit.
"Ouch! I just needed to get my shirt out of here," he said feeling around on the floor with his hand over his eyes.
"I think I'm sitting on it!" I said moving over a little so Brian could see under me. He pulled out the green t-shirt from under me and threw it on Nick.
"Do I want to know what that is on my head?" asked Nick with his hand still over his eyes.
"It's your shirt dipshit! Now get out!" said Brian.
"I'm goin, I'm goin! Just pretend that never happened!" he said leaving the bathroom and shutting the door. Brian turned his attention back to me.
"So..." he said kissing my neck. "What do you want to do?"
"I could think of a lot of things I want to do right now!"
"Oh really, baby? Like what?" he said moving his hand between my knees and slowly moving upwards.
"Like taking a shower." He stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes confused.
"Take a shower?"
"Yeah. With you." He smiled, knowing exactly what I meant. "Now, you go wait in ther shower, you know, get the water nice and hot, and I'll be right there."
"Alright," he said kissing me again, then he took of his towel and walked over to the shower. I could tell he was rather..."excited" about my shower idea. As soon as he was inside, I walked over to the door and locked it. I then took off my clothes and stepped into the shower with him. He was turned away from me, getting the water the riht temperature when I came in. He must not have heard me, because when I wrapped my arms around his waist, he nearly jumped five feet in the air. He turned around and smiled at me. I smiled back. He then wrapped his arms around me and smothered me in one of the longest, most passionate kisses I can ever remember.
"I love you," he whispered into my ear.
"I love you, too," I whispered back.
"Let me wash your hair," he said grabbing the shampoo and rubbing it onto his hand. He washed my hair better then I would have done. We just talked, real casually, while he did that. I was pretty surprised that I had so much self control! I wanted him so badly. When he was done, I turned around and faced him. He was so close to me, I could almost taste his mouth. I grabbed the lotion soap crap and poured some of it into his hands.
After we were done in the shower, we both stepped out panting.
"That was...." he started.
"...incredible!" I finished for him. He smiled at me and wrapped his arms around me. I just thought about him and me. You know something, I'm not even going to miss the sex. I mean, yeah, he's good, and I don't know, but that's not even on the top 10 list of things I'm going to miss about him. He walked over to the towel closet and handed me a towel.
"Here you go, baby," he said wrapping it around my body.
"Thanks," I said as he pulled his towel off the floor and around his waist. I picked up my clothes off the floor and we headed out of the bathroom and into his room holding hands.
