“Yeah the day after tomorrow.”
“I know when it is.”
“Just helping out.”
“Uh, probably getting ready to leave.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah I’m leaving Sunday night.”
“Oh yeah I forgot about that.”
“I’m only going to be gone three weeks tops and then I’ll be back for a little longer.”
“That’s cool.”
“You know I’ll call you.”
Kaitlyn smiled but quickly covered it up and said, “You don’t have to.”
“But whatever will you if you don’t talk to Prince Charming at least once a day?” Nick asked sarcastically.
“I’m sure I can survive I’ve gone this long without him I’m sure I can go a few days too.”
“Bitter much?”
“Ha, anyway I have a rather strange request but you can’t ask questions you just have to answer yes or no.”
“Ok.”
“Wednesday my mother is coming into town and well somehow she got the impression that you are my boyfriend and well… could you pretend for one night?”
“Pretend what?”
“That you are my boyfriend.”
“Oh really?”
“I know you’re going to have a field day with this.”
“Nah, I’m sure Kaylee has already had one.”
“She’ll have another.”
Nick laughed in response.
“So?” Kaitlyn asked getting a little impatient with him.
“Ok, you know I like you and well hell it sounds like fun.”
“To you maybe,” Kaitlyn mumbled rolling her eyes.
“What was that?”
“Nothing.”
“You don’t sound too excited about this.”
“I’m not.”
“But I thought I was your Prince Charming.”
“Oh let it go already it’s getting old.”
“That’s not nice I like the whole Prince Charming thing.”
“Yeah? Going to ride up on your horse and sweep me off my feet?”
“If that’s what you want. I don’t ride horses but I would for you.”
Kaitlyn rolled her eyes and shook her head.
“So what time should I ride up?”
“About four thirty you can help me tidy up around here and you have to be here before her I think her flight gets in about five or six I don’t remember.”
“So can I ask why?”
“Nope remember no questions.”
“Ok fine. I’ll play along.”
“Ok, well I’m going to go.”
“Alright.”
“And Nick?”
“Yes my damsel in distress?”
Kaitlyn shook her head laughing and said, “Thank you.”
Nick stopped laughing and said, “You’re welcome.”
“You don’t know how much this means but it means a lot seriously.”
“Glad to help. I’m always in the mood to play boyfriend/night in shining armor Prince Charming.”
“You’re so on crack.”
“Whatever.”
“Whatever,” Kaitlyn replied mocking him.
“That hurts,” Nick said as he pouted.
“I’m sure, but I guess I’ll talk to you later.”
“Yeah, I’ll see you Wednesday.”
“Yeah,” Kaitlyn replied rolling her eyes.
“Bye.”
“Good bye Prince Charming until we meet again,” Kaitlyn replied dramatically.
“See it’s more fun when you play along.”
“Yeah well I try.”
Nick shook his head laughing and said, “Bye Kaitlyn.”
“Bye,” Kaitlyn said as she hung up her phone and then laid back on her bed smiling.
Chapter 18
“Wednesday?”
Don’t say it. I don’t know what anyone else is thinking but I’m sure it’s not nice. So just everyone but me keep your damn opinions to yourself.
So I didn’t tell my mother the truth, sue me. So Nick did agree to be my boyfriend for a night. One night that’s all. Not a lifetime. Not a month. Not a year, a night. 24 hours that’s it. That’s all I need. But God bless him for doing this, gotta give major props to him. And for not asking a million questions. Who would have thought he’d respect my wishes for no questions? Quite interesting.
Ok, so the whole Prince Charming thing is so cheesy. I know this but damn it if it isn’t something really funny. I mean in all reality Nick could quite possibly play the role of my Prince Charming, seriously he is everything every girl in America wants. How could you not want him? Like when we were on our ‘date’ I couldn’t help but stare at him in awe just because he is that gorgeous. I remember hearing girls that had met him say pictures did him no kind of justice and you know it’s so true. Pictures could almost hurt him especially after you’ve seen him up close and personal. I’m sure those girls that have met him and seen him up close never look at a picture of him in the same way. Because they do nothing for him.
Oh God, please shut me up. Just put some tape over my mouth and shut me up. I can’t believe how I can just go on and on about him like that. Seriously, it’s not right. I shouldn’t be able to do that. Why am I though? Grr…
Kaitlyn walked out of her room and walked down the hall wondering where Kaylee and her new boy toy was, the apartment was a little too quiet. She walked into the living room and then looked around to see Kaylee lying with Kyle on the couch both of them half naked and coved up with Kaitlyn’s blanket. Kaitlyn cringed a little and then just walked back into her room just a tad disgusted.
“Eww… so gross,” Kaitlyn shuddered as she flopped back down on her bed. She looked at her cell phone lying on the table next to her bed and then picked it up dialing a now familiar number.
“Yo?”
“Is that how you answer your phone?”
“I knew it was you.”
“Then why didn’t say hello my love I’ve been waiting all my life for you?”
“I can hang up and we can do that again,” Nick said laughing.
“Nah, it’s cool.”
“So what’s up? Didn’t we just get off the phone or was I dreaming of you calling me again?”
“Again? Have you been having dreams about me?” Kaitlyn asked laughing a little.
“No,” Nick said seriously and then laughed.
“Uh huh.”
“I had one weird one last night.”
“Interesting.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“I know you think I’m a dork huh? It’s cool I can’t help my dreams.”
“Ok.”
Nick laughed and said, “So what do you want darling?”
“You,” Kaitlyn replied sighing.
Nick sat there a minute confused. Was she playing? She sounded almost… serious? Nah.
Kaitlyn started laughing and asked, “Uh? Nick you ok over there? Fall out of the chair or something?”
“Uh,” he cleared his throat, “Just you caught me off guard.”
“Good,” Kaitlyn replied smiling.
“You, my friend, are a strange one right up along with your friend,” Nick said as he rubbed his hand over his face a few times. “Gotta keep you on your toes.”
“And that’s exactly what you are doing. But you were doing that when I first saw you.”
“Oh really?”
“Yeah, I won’t tell you why because I’ll sound even cheesier and like an idiot.”
“Tell me,” Kaitlyn started to beg.
“Nope, I enjoy you begging. I bet you look so adorable while you do it.”
“Oh please,” Kaitlyn said rolling her eyes as she started to twirl a piece of her hair around her finger.
Someone please tell me what possessed me to call him? I don’t know why, but I really like talking to him. He is fun. And he brings out the fun person in me. Sometimes I forget that I actually have a fun person within, I get so caught up in school and work and being responsible I forget how much fun it is to just be stupid. And well, I guess I enjoy being stupid with Nick. It’s fun to joke back and forth with him and just be a smart ass.
It’s about time I had a good laugh and had someone to actually laugh with. I’m not saying that I never laughed with Kaylee but I think it’s different with Nick. I don’t know.
Hell, right now I don’t know much of anything and it’s not driving me nuts. That has to be a good thing right?
“Sorry about that,” Nick said breaking Kaitlyn out of her little trance she was in.
“It’s cool, was that one of your many girlfriends?”
“No, my fuck buddy.”
“Oh you got those too?”
“Yeah you haven’t heard?”
“No, I’ve been out of the loop.”
“Yeah, I got girls everywhere all I gotta do is dial a number and,” Nick said and then snapped his fingers.
“Seriously?”
“Oh yeah, you know what they say about me in those tabloids are lies.”
“Damn, I was hoping that one that said you were hung was true,” Kaitlyn replied laughing.
“Burn.”
“Yeah, that was good huh?”
“Yeah gotta give you props for that.”
“Why thank you.”
“You are so very welcome my dear.”
Kaitlyn just laughed.
“What?”
“You talk like an old man sometimes.”
“Shut up.”
“And you dress like one sometimes too.”
“Hey now.”
Kaitlyn just shook her head and continued to laugh.
“That’s not nice.”
Kaitlyn stopped laughing and looked around her room and then started to twirl a piece of her hair again. “Nick?”
“Yeah?”
“You wanna do something?”
“When?”
“Tonight.”
