“Pumpkin,” Nick said as he scooped Kaitlyn up in his arms picking her up and swinging her around.
“Nick, put me down,” Kaitlyn said trying not to giggle.
Nick put her down and pouted. “Thanks for ruining the moment.”
“Moment? What moment?”
“I don’t know but I’m sure that could have been a moment.”
Kaitlyn rolled her eyes as she walked away from him and headed down the hallway to her room.
“Did you miss me?” Nick asked close behind her.
Kaitlyn mouthed ‘yes’ to herself as her back was facing him and then she turned around shaking her head no as she smiled sweetly.
“I saw you in the mirror say yes,” Nick replied grinning.
Kaitlyn looked at him and then behind her at the floor length mirror that was propped up against the wall. She shook her head and walked over to her closest.
“I knew you would miss me.”
“Whatever.”
“Are you busy tonight?”
“Yes.”
“With what?”
Kaitlyn turned around and looked at him with her hands on her hips. “None of your business.”
“You work?”
“Shut up.”
Nick watched her dig through her closet and laughed. “What about tomorrow?”
Kaitlyn stopped rummaging through her clothes and thought a minute, “Uh…”
“I’ll pick you up at eight.”
“Who said I wasn’t busy?”
“All you said was uh I pretty much figured that out that you don’t have any plans and you were trying to think of some excuse. Am I right?”
Kaitlyn turned back around to him and flipped him off before she went back to looking for something to wear.
Nick leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms watching her. “What are you doing?”
“Looking for something to wear.”
“You don’t look bad in what you have on. I mean you look fine.” Kaitlyn turned around and cocked her eyebrow, “You know what I mean the view from here is nice. Never mind god.” Nick said shaking his head.
Kaitlyn shook her head as she laughed a little and then turned back around bending over.
Nick bit his bottom lip as he stared at her.
“Stop staring at my ass.”
“How did you know? I wasn’t looking.”
“Sure.” She got up holding a pair of jeans and a shirt and turned back around and walked over to him, “What’s wrong Nick usually you are such a smooth talker, you’re stumbling.”
“I am not.”
Kaitlyn grinned as she nodded and said, “Right.”
Nick pouted and said, “Was not.”
Kaitlyn shook her head laughing as she walked out of the room and into the bathroom closing the door softly behind her.
Chapter 34
Kaitlyn woke up to the sound of repeated pounding on the front door. She sat up and looked around, she was on the couch. She looked down at what she was wearing, the same clothes from yesterday. She shook her head as she got up as the pounding continued. She yawned and scratched her stomach as she opened the front door.
Ok, so not seeing Nick for two weeks I thought would do something and like magically I wouldn’t find him attractive anymore. Oh yeah that worked. Uh huh sure. Psh. If it was at all possible the boy’s looks have intensified. Bastard.
And, you know never mind. Kaitlyn is not going there. Nope. That is all. I’m finished.
Kaitlyn walked out of the bathroom and then walked into her room to find Nick going through some of her things that were lying on her desk. She looked at what he was about to pick up and said, “Nick what the hell are you doing?”
“I uh… nothing.”
“I uh… saw you. You big fat jerk what the hell are you thinking?”
“Uh…”
“You were snooping through my shit. Was it just my desk or did you start some place else?
“Uh…”
“Damn it, answer me,” Kaitlyn replied stomping her foot.
“Yeah, I peeked in your night table drawer but there were way too many tampons in there.”
Kaitlyn cracked a smile and then crossed her arms pretending to be mad at him, “Find anything interesting?”
“No you stopped me before I got to the notebook that said,” Nick looked down at the notebook, “Keep out.”
“Obviously you weren’t paying attention when you read that am I going to have to put keep out or you’re going to be dickless?” Kaitlyn replied putting her hands on her hips.
“Uh…”
“Uh? Is that all you can say?”
Nick shrugged as he put his hands in his pockets looking down at the floor and then back up at Kaitlyn smiling sweetly.
“Stop that,” Kaitlyn replied pointing at him.
“What?”
“You know what you’re doing you big fat jerk.”
“That’s the second time you called me a big fat jerk. Do you really think I’m fat?”
Kaitlyn started to laugh and said, “No you’re not fat you’re cuddly.”
“Is that a nice way of saying I’m fat?”
“No a nice way of saying you were fat would be you’re pleasantly plump.”
“Gee, thanks I think my self esteem has just went off the charts,” Nick said sarcastically.
“I didn’t say you were fat.”
“Then why did you call me a big fat jerk?”
“It’s nicer than the other names I was thinking of.”
Nick nodded and said, “Whatever.”
Kaitlyn groaned and then got closer to him and punched him in the arm.
“Ow, what the hell was that for?”
“You’re overexaggerating here dear.”
“Dear?” Nick asked cocking an eyebrow.
Kaitlyn rolled her eyes as she grabbed her bag pulling it over her head. “I have to go.”
“Where are you going?”
Kaitlyn sighed as she put her sunglasses on and headed out of her room.
“You have class?”
“Bingo Einstein.”
“Ok, well I guess I’ll see you tomorrow night then right?”
“I don’t know.”
Nick followed Kaitlyn out of the door and closed it behind him and asked, “What?”
“I just, I need to focus on school really my grades have been slipping.”
Nick looked at her strangely. “I don’t think I’ll ever figure you out.”
“That’s good; I never said I wanted to be figured out.”
“So you don’t want to do anything tomorrow?”
“No?”
“Too bad.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’ll be here at seven don’t be late,” Nick said as he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and walked down the steps to his car while Kaitlyn stood there slightly dumbfounded.
Excuse me what the crap just happened?
I’m not sure if I’ve ever been so confused. Ok I know that’s a lie I get confused like every day of the week but for real. I don’t understand what just happened. I don’t know did anything happen? Or am I just thinking too much? I know that answer, I always think way too much. That’s my problem. I just need to stop thinking period. Right? That’s a stupendous idea. I know I’m just good like that.
Now can I get back to how fine this guy is? I seriously don’t think I’ve ever been so attracted to a guy. It’s just unreal. I need to find an ugly stick and hit him with it a few times. I’m so serious. Psh. If you believe that one I can tell you another.
Kaitlyn walked into her apartment completely exhausted from school and then work, she threw her bag on the floor as she kicked off her shoes. And then she slowly made her way into her room barely able to keep her eyes open. She walked into her room and quickly shed herself of her clothes and climbed into her bed with nothing but her bra and panties on. She got under the covers and pulled them up and then rolled onto her side getting comfortable. She moved her legs up a little and felt something. She opened her eyes slowly to see Nick staring back at her smiling widely.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Slumber party?” Nick asked with a cheesy grin.
Kaitlyn sighed and rolled her eyes as she sat up, “Seriously?”
Nick shrugged as he sat up letting the cover that was around him fall and Kaitlyn stared at his chest and then back up to his face, “I… I just didn’t want to be alone. I don’t know when I’m with you I never know what’s going to happen. You make me feel things that I didn’t know I could feel and I just wanted some more of that.”
Kaitlyn smiled at him as she leaned over kissing him gently and then she moved closer intensifying the kiss as she started to suck on his tongue. He put his hands on her back and moaned into her mouth as they deepened the kiss even more. She pulled away and then kissed him again a few times before moving away from him.
Nick smiled at her and wiggled his eyebrows.
“That was sweet, but you aren’t getting anything else but that I’m way too exhausted,” Kaitlyn said laughing.
Nick shook his head as he sat there and watched her lay back down and close her eyes going to sleep. He sat there for a while just watching her sleep until finally he could barely keep his eyes open so he laid down facing her and went to sleep.
