Miss Independent


Chapter 21


Nick could feel Kaitlyn’s body tighten against him and she didn’t kiss him back until he pulled away a little sucking on her bottom lip and then taking her mouth in his. He pulled away from her and looked at her as she stood there with her eyes closed and her mouth open slightly.

Kaitlyn opened her eyes and stared at Nick like he was crazy.

“I’m- I’m sorry. I just… I’ve wanted to do that for a while and well if nothing ever comes from this then I at least have that. I-… you can slap me now if you want,” He said as he started rub his hand on the back of neck as he looked down at the ground.

Kaitlyn shook her head, “Don’t be sorry.”

Nick looked up at her and smiled slightly.

“It wasn’t as terrible as I had imagined,” Kaitlyn replied laughing.

Nick shook his head as he picked the blanket up and then made his way to the other side of the truck.

Kaitlyn leaned back up against the passenger door and lightly touched her finger to her lips before she turned around and got in the truck fastening her seatbelt. She looked over at Nick as he got in smiling wide at her; she couldn’t ignore the butterflies that were fluttering around in her stomach as she turned away and looked out the window.

…:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::…

Hmm…

What can I say? What is there to say? Actually, I can think of a million things to say. All wonderful things, oh man I’m so going soft. Speaking of soft, Nick lips you would never believe oh my. Ok, not going there. And his technique?

Stop me!

…:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::…

Kaitlyn crossed her arms as she stared straight ahead. Nick looked over at her as she tucked a stray hair behind her ear. He felt like he had crossed a line or something. But as cliché as it was he couldn’t help himself. Kaitlyn felt Nick glancing at her every few minutes she smiled faintly as she looked at her out of the corner of her eye.

“Kaitlyn?” He asked softly.

Kaitlyn looked over at him, “Yeah?”

“You’re not pissed or anything are you?”

“Why would I be?” She asked.

“I don’t know I just feel like I crossed a line or something.”

“I told you, you didn’t have to apologize. Nick if you crossed a line believe me I would have kneed you in the balls.”

Nick cringed at the thought of that and the he said, “I’m glad you spared me.”

“Come on Nick, I couldn’t do that I’m not that mean.”

Nick looked over at her and said, “You’re not a mean person at all.”

Kaitlyn laughed and said, “Oh man you really don’t know me at all.”

“I know enough to know that you can’t possibly be a mean person. Well, scratch that you were pretty evil to me today.”

“I was playing.”

“I know,” Nick replied laughing and then flashed her a sexy smirk.

Kaitlyn felt her stomach do a couple of flip flops, he so knew the effect that smile had. He had to know.

“So am I taking you home?”

“Uh… is there anything we haven’t done today?” Kaitlyn asked laughing.

“My house isn’t too far from here.”

“You just don’t give up huh?”

“I’m not trying to get you into bed… yet. I’ll whip out the alcohol for that.”

Kaitlyn shook her head and laughed as she looked back out the window.

“Do you want to? We can watch a movie or something and I’m kind of hungry, order a pizza?”

Kaitlyn couldn’t help the giggle that escaped her as she looked at Nick and the look on his face. “Alright,” She said sighing.

“Good,” Nick said grinning.

Kaitlyn shook her head at him and crossed her arms looking out the window again.

“You won’t regret it.”

Kaitlyn looked at Nick and replied, “Nick, I haven’t regretted anything since I’ve met you.”

Nick smiled as he continued to drive to his house.

Kaitlyn was about to say something when her cell phone rang. “Hello?”

“Kaitlyn?”

“Kaylee?”

“What are you doing? Where are you?”

“I told you I was going out.”

“But with who?”

“Nick,” Kaitlyn replied.

“Oh really?”

“Uh huh.”

“Where are you now?”

“I’m not telling.”

“Why?”

“Because.”

“Tell me damn it.”

“No screw you.”

“Hey now bitch tell me.”

Kaitlyn sighed and said, “You’re mean.”

“Come on.”

“I’m going to Nick’s house.”

Kaylee started laughing and then she made a few choice sounds while Kaitlyn just rolled her eyes.

“I’m going.”

“What are you guys going to do?”

“I don’t know. Watch a movie order some food I don’t know.”

“You are so going to sleep with him.”

“Goodbye Kaylee,” Kaitlyn replied as she hung up her phone shaking her head and then put it back into her jeans pocket.

“So what did she have to say?”

“Nonsense.”

Nick laughed and said, “I can only imagine.”

“Yeah, she truly is a crazy person.”

“Yeah,” Nick agreed as he started to laugh again.

“She pisses me off though.”

“How so?”

“She is just inconsiderate. I think she had sex with Kyle on our damn couch and then used my damn blanket to cover them up. Shit like that. Well she’s never really done that before but it’s just… rude.”

“Yeah.”

“I mean I love her to death but she is really annoying sometimes. Or maybe it’s just me maybe I’ve been seeing her too much and I’m tired of her.”

“Could be.”

…:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::…

Definitely having one of those out of body experiences again or maybe that is just my excuse? Yep, excuse. I’m going to his house. Hmm…

I’m going to the almighty pop god’s house. What in the hell am I thinking? What kind of major malfunction is going on in my brain? For real. I see that big red sign again flashing danger again. It’s more like Temptation Island or something but it’s only me and him he’s the only temptation there. There is no other girl around to tempt him. It’s more like a lamb walking into a lion’s den I swear, except I may like it in there. Yeah…

And Kaylee, where do I start with her? Seriously… I don’t even think I can say anything about her. She bugs me so much sometimes. Maybe it is a good thing that me and Nick are friends and going stuff together because it’s like I’ve been seeing too much of her.

Anyway, wish me luck on Nick. Wait that sounded dirty. I mean on going to his house ya know. Wish me luck. Luck like I will keep my will power and not give into to his beauty. What the hell am I talking about?

I’m so talking out of my ass.

…:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::…

“And here we are,” Nick said as he pulled into his driveway, knocking Kaitlyn out the daze she was in.

Kaitlyn looked around she hadn’t even noticed where they were. “This?”

Nick looked over at her, “Too small for your liking?” he asked smiling.

“Yeah Nick that’s it I think this house is too small, it’s gorgeous.”

“Eh, its ok I guess.”

“I’d love to live here.”

Nick raised his eyebrows as he got out and looked at her.

Kaitlyn looked over at him laughing, “Alone.”

Nick pouted and then closed the door and then he walked in front of the truck waiting for her to get out. Kaitlyn laughed lightly as she took her seatbelt off and then climbed out of the car. She walked around and met him in front of the truck.

“Come on,” He said taking a hold of her hand and leading her up the stairs up to the front porch.

“I can’t believe you live here alone.”

“Well, I’m not alone all the time,” He replied looking back at her wiggling his eyebrows.

Kaitlyn just shook her head as she walked in and then closed the front door behind her. She looked around in awe of how spacious this house was and how beautiful she still couldn’t get over the fact that a guy lived here. “Ok you must have someone clean because any regular guy would not have his house this clean.”

Nick laughed as they walked through the foyer into the living room, “You’ve caught me I don’t clean.”

“Oh the many perks of being a pop god,” Kaitlyn replied as she flopped down onto the couch. She got situated and moaned a little, “Now this is a couch, holy shit my lord it is awesome,” She said as she closed her eyes smiling.

Nick laughed at her and then walked into the kitchen to see if there was any type of drinks in his refrigerator after unsuccessfully finding refreshments he grabbed the phone and dialed the now memorized number to the pizza place. He ordered them some pizza and drinks, since had was fresh out, and then he walked back into the living room. “So what do you want to watch?” He asked as he walked over in front of the TV. He waited a minute and then turned around when Kaitlyn didn’t answer him. He looked at her and then walked closer and smiled, she had fallen asleep in the maybe ten minutes he was gone. He walked over to a chair in the corner of the room grabbing the blanket off of it and then covering her up. He kissed her forehead and then walked out of the living room and upstairs to his room to change into something more comfortable.
