“You always sound so surprised.”
“Well truthfully I am.”
“I don’t understand why.”
“I don’t know I’m just afraid you’ll realize I’m not the almighty pop god and I’m really just a dork and then you won’t want to have anything to do with me.”
Kaitlyn rolled her eyes and said, “Oh please so pick me up in twenty minutes?”
“Maybe,” Nick replied grinning.
“Fine, I’ll be waiting.”
“Bye,” Nick said as he hung his phone smiling.
Chapter 19
“Really?”
Where’s Kaylee? She’ll smack me around a little. Ok so does anyone else believe that just maybe Nick put some kind of spell on me to make me like him? Yeah, didn’t think so. It was worth a try right?
So we’ll go out and do something. Like what? Hell if know. What do people do at three o’clock in the afternoon seriously? Is there anything to do?
Oh well we’ll find something I’m sure. Yeah, I’ll let everyone in on a little secret. When I’m with him I could be soaking in a pit of sweat and still be enjoying myself. Yep, I have admitted it. He’s fun to be around. I think I’ve said that before but seriously he is truly a fun person.
Kaitlyn took a deep breath as she walked out of her room and into the living room to see that Kaylee and Kyle retreated back to Kaylee’s room. She shook her head as she picked up her blanket with two fingers and then threw it in the laundry room shaking her head.
She sighed and walked back into the hallway and in front of Kaylee’s door. She knocked lightly once and then she knocked once again a little louder. “Kaylee?”
“What?”
“I’m going out.”
“Where are you going?” She asked which was followed by some very strange giggles.
Kaitlyn shook out all the dirty images that were arising in her head. “I’m just going out.”
“With who? Ow, that hurt Kyle.”
Kaitlyn shook her head and said, “Bye.”
So I’ve come to the conclusion that my friend is disgusting. The images that were going on in my head… so not right. Ugh. Like some really bad porn. I swear… not that I’ve actually watched porn or anything.
I haven’t really. Promise. Ok there was this one time with my friend Krystal we were going through her mom’s things and we found a condom and then a movie and she put it in the VCR, I was only ten or so, so I really didn’t know what was going on but needless to say I didn’t go over there again. Because I think I told my mom about it and well my mom called her mom and the rest is history.
But seriously, Kaylee acts as if I’m not here. Hello?! I do sleep down the hall from you stupid! Ok, I’m done with that. I’m going to forget about Kaylee and all that shit and just have fun with Nick.
I can do that.
Kaitlyn sat on the couch with her legs crossed as she picked at her jeans. She looked at her watch for about the tenth time Nick was one minute away from being late. She slapped her forehead and shook her head why was she so worried about Nick being late. She picked up her cell phone and put it in her jeans pocket along with her apartment key that was sitting on the coffee table. She stood up pulling her shirt down a little and then walking over to the door. She looked out the peephole… nothing.
She shook her head laughing at herself she was getting bad. She walked into the kitchen to get something to drink when there was a knock on the door. She finished off her glass of water and then looked at her watch so he was two minutes late. She shrugged it off and headed over to the front door.
She swung the door open dramatically and smiled at Nick batting her eyelashes, “Prince Charming has arrived late.”
Nick looked at his watch and held up it up for her to see, “Two minutes,” He replied laughing.
“Still late,” Kaitlyn said as she pushed him to the side as she walked out of the door and then closed it behind her.
Nick shook his head as he watched her walk, she had a bounce in her step she seemed a little more excited than normal. He eyed the way her shirt clung to her in all the right places and how her hair swung back and forth in its high ponytail and then his eyes slowly traveled down to her ass.
“Nick!”
Nick shook his head snapping out of his daze and looked at her.
“What were you dong?” She asked putting her hands on her hips.
“Uh…”
“Uh?” Kaitlyn asked and then shook her head and walked back over to him grabbing his hand and dragging him behind her out to his truck.
“So where to skipper?”
“Skipper?”
“Never mind… where do want to go?”
“I have no clue. You drive I’ll ride and listen to the radio.”
“Oh sounds like loads of fun.”
Kaitlyn grinned and said, “It could be.”
Nick shook his head as he started his truck and then backed out of the parking spot. Nick looked over at Kaitlyn, who was staring aimlessly out the window; he smiled at her and then looked back to the road and sighed.
“What?”
“What what?”
“Why are you sighing?”
“Uh, it was a sigh of content.”
Kaitlyn nodded and said, “Interesting.”
“What?”
“More and more I’m convinced you’re gay.”
Nick swerved almost hitting a cat while Kaitlyn bursted into a fit of laughter. “What?”
“Dude, I’m so playing. I know you’re bi.”
“Kaitlyn, this is not a laughing matter or a topic we should be discussing while I’m driving because I’m liable to just… I don’t know.”
“You know Nick you have a wonderful way with words,” Kaitlyn said laughing.
“Damn I’m regretting this already.”
“Oh lighten up you big goob I’m so playing with you.”
“Goob?”
Kaitlyn looked over at Nick grinning widely, “Yep.”
Nick just shook his head and continued to drive.
“Shut up, you’re so mean,” Nick said as he pushed Kaitlyn with his shoulder and pouted.
“Oh stop you were adorable,” Kaitlyn said as she put the book down.
“Yeah, whatever it’s not that fun to grow up in the spotlight.”
“I could imagine especially going through puberty. Man, everyone seeing your first zit and when your voice was changing and when you started to get hair… everywhere.”
“Thanks for letting me relive that.”
Kaitlyn looked over at Nick he did truly look hurt or upset. Kaitlyn pressed her lips together as she looked around the book store. She walked over to Nick and started to do the only thing that popped into her mind… tickle him.
Nick started to laugh, he cute little giggle, while Kaitlyn continued to tickle him. He tried to run away but Kaitlyn was right behind him finally he grabbed her arms and looked at her dead in the eyes. They were so intense Kaitlyn could feel her heart beating in her ears.
“That… was not nice.”
Kaitlyn pressed her lips together trying not to laugh, “I’m sorry had to make you laugh somehow. You have such a great laugh.”
Nick cocked an eyebrow, “Really?”
“Oh yeah, that cute little giggle of yours very adorable.”
“Adorable? I don’t want to be adorable. I want to be manly and sexy.”
Kaitlyn looked away trying not to laugh too hard, manly? The jury was still out for that one. But sexy? Hands down.
“What?”
“Nothing, can I have my arms back now?”
Nick looked down not even realizing that he was still holding onto her arms. He let go and then smiled at her.
Kaitlyn smiled back and could feel the awkward silence fill up the space around them.
“Excuse me?”
Nick looked away from Kaitlyn and over to the group of three teenage girls. He flashed that wonderful Colgate Carter smile and said, “Yeah?”
“I’m sorry for bothering you but I was wondering if I could get your autograph and maybe a picture?” The girl standing in front of the other two ask shyly.
Nick smiled at them and then looked at Kaitlyn she nodded knowingly and then he looked back at them, “Sure baby it’s not a problem you’re not bothering me.”
The girl nearly fell over when he smiled at her and called her baby, Kaitlyn watched in awe of him and how he was so nice to each of those girls spending as much time needed with each of them. And calling them each baby, did he know that they were going to go home and probably have dirty dreams? Kaitlyn snickered to herself and then quickly covered it up by looking at a magazine that was lying on a table next to her.
“Can I get a picture with you too?”
Kaitlyn looked up and then around her. The girls wanted a picture with her? Did she morph into someone famous and not know it? “Uh… I guess. I’m not anyone special.”
“Sure you are,” The girl said smiling as stepped closer to Kaitlyn.
“Such nice girls,” Nick said as they walked out of the bookstore and headed over to one of the tables by the food court.
“Sure, them all their glory I didn’t know teenage girls started dressing that slutty.”
“Britney Spears.”
Kaitlyn nodded as Nick sat down and she headed over to buy herself a pretzel.
Nick watched Kaitlyn and couldn’t help the smile that was forming. He was always smiling with her. He looked at the display on his cell phone and noticed it was almost seven o’clock they had spent almost four hours at the mall. He looked around and then started to rub his hands together getting a brilliant idea.
Kaitlyn sat down across from him and looked at him cocking an eyebrow, “You’re thinking of something aren’t you?”
“Actually I am.”
“What?”
“We’re pretty much done here right?”
Kaitlyn shrugged and said, “Yeah I bought what I wanted.”
“A pretzel?”
“Yep, I love these babies and the cheese…so good,” Kaitlyn replied as she licked her lips and closed her eyes savoring the taste as she moaned a little.
Nick groaned inwardly as he felt his pants tighten a little. Did she have to do that?
“So what did you have in mind?”
“Huh?”
“What did you want to do?” She asked laughing.
“Oh, you want to go to the beach? We can watch the sunset it’s bound to be beautiful,” He replied grinning.
