~Chapter 6~
"I'm leaving, I'm really sorry AJ" Brian said and walked towards the door.
"Thats ok Bro, just know I would never do anything like that to ya." He
got up and hugged Brian and whispered in his ear. "Talk to her". Brian nodded
and walked out the door, but tripped on something.
"What the he... Sparkle? What are you doing here?"
"Sorry Brian, I was going to leave, but I don't know where we are. If you
tell me, I will start walking and leave you alone."
"You will do NO such thing" he said in a fatherly tone "You don't know
what kind of Psychos are out here at night!!"
"It's not like you would care now." The tears once began to fall down her
cheeks for the first time in front of Brian. He put his finger under her chin
and raised her head so their eyes could meet.
"Did you mean what you said? Do you really love me?" he asked gazing into
her eyes.
"With all my heart".
"Well then can I tell you a secret?" he asked quietly, she nodded. Brian
leaned forward and gently kissed her on the lips. "I love you too". He pulled
her into a tight embrace and kissed her neck. "Now what do you say we go back
to your party?"
"Aww can't I just stay out here with you?" she begged.
"I'll be right there with you" he smiled, "plus you have the rest of my
life to be with me". Brian stood up pulling Kristy with him and arm in arm
they walked back into the house. Aj and Nick were playing a Playstation game,
while Pamela sat watching them and Howie was talking on the phone. Kevin was
sitting in the kitchen and his eyes got large when the two walked in together
with smiles on their faces, 'Damn, this is going to be harder than I thought'
he thought to himself.
"Ha, I beat you, who's the man?" Aj jumped up and did a little victory
dance to celebrate his win over Nick.
"I'm the man and I could beat you any day" Brian announced causing the
three of them to quickly spin around.
"So what was this I heard about a party for moi?" Kristy asked in mock
selfishness.
"Party? What are you talking about? I don't know about any party" Howie
said walking up behind her, she frowned and Brian nudged Howie. "Oh Party, I
thought y'all said Marty, I don't know any one name Marty, but I do know
about a party for a certain someones 21st birthday". They all laughed at
Howie and Pamela led Kristy over to a Big chair and handed her a present.
"Girl I hope you like it, it is from Nick and I" she said laughingly, "I
picked the stuff out, It cost Nicky boy a fortune". She carefully began to
take the tape off each end of the gift.
"Just rip the damn paper already" Aj yelled "I wanna know if what they
got you is better than what I did." She tore the paper the rest of the way
off and opened the box. Inside was a Silver Chain with a music note pendant
and matching earrings, a black dress, shoes that went perfectly with the
dress, and two tickets to both a Brian McNight concert and Dave Matthews Band
concert.
"Wow, I can't take all this stuff."
"Yes you can, as long as you promise to have fun" Nick insisted.
"Thanks so much guys" she said giving the both a hug. The night continued
similarly as she got her gifts from AJ and Howie. Finally after watching the
whole scene Kevin slammed his fist on the table in the kitchen and left.
The next morning Kristy woke up and began her morningly exercise routine.
As she was going out the door to go running she noticed a card addressed to
Sparkle on the front porch. She opened the envelope and read the note it held.
"YOU HAD BETTER LEAVE NOW , I WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO SPLIT YOU TO
UP, EVEN IF IT MEANS SOME TYPE OF ACCIDENT HAPPENING TO BRIAN"
