Chapter 6
I sat breathing sharply letting out all that had happened that day. Tapping my fingers on the purple comforter, I surveyed Kati’s room. To be perfectly honest, I almost groaned when I heard that we were stuck at the Chase household until morning. Catching myself twiddling nervously when she spoke and blushing violently when her blue eyes landed on me, I only wanted to get away from Kati convincing myself that it was best for what was happening right now and what happened in the past.
I slightly smiled when I noticed the posters of our band taped against the white walls.
She’s a fan
Joe and I would be staying in Kati’s room for the night since she had a pull-out couch along with her bed while Kevin was stationed in the small guest room. Biting my lip, I got up and swiftly grazed the medals on her wall that were hung up right next to a shelf of trophies. I walked around the room letting my eyes get lost in pictures of her and her friends on Halloween and at parties. Laughing lightly, I observed a picture of her and Gabby doing fake photo shoots and acting like movie stars. Suddenly a familiar voice made me jump and snap out of my thoughts.
“Observing your babe up close are we?” Joe said walking in to the room shirtless with a towel around his neck and Hello Kitty pajama bottoms on. I burst out laughing and forgot all about what he had just said to me.
“What? They’re comfy, and Kati let me borrow them. I think they are going to be the next fashion trend,” Joe snickered as he looked over himself in the mirror.
“Yeah and where will that be?” I laughed gasping for air.
“Hey, I wouldn’t talk about you wo-man like that, Nicholas” Joe said shaking his wet hair out and removing the towel from his neck to put a large sports jersey on that had to be Mr. Chase’s. My eyes grew big as I bit my lip.
“What?” I snapped.
“You know you’re in luuuuuuuvvv with Miss Kati Chase,” Joe snickered as he reached out to ruffle my hair. I snatched his hand and yanked it down from the air before he could touch me.
“What? I don’t like Kati,” I lied hoping it would make Joe back off. They couldn’t know any of this or they wouldn’t leave me alone about it.
“Oh yeah, then why don’t you play with your curls and blush violently when Ilook at you, Nicholas.”
“I…uh…well…” I rubbed my arm rapidly resisting the heat rising to my cheeks.
“I’m very hurt, very hurt. I take my time to look at you straight in these eyes of yours and you give me nothing but I blank stare,” Joe fake cried. I was silent. Was it really that obvious? I tried to convince myself that I didn’t like Kati and that Joe was just messing with my head, but it was true. He hit the nail right on the head. I couldn’t speak...
I have to get out of this house, I can’t see Kati a…
*Knock Knock*
“Heeeeyyyy Miss Kati.” Joe said in a girly tone flashing a cheesy smile. Whipping my head around, my limbs froze just like they did before when I saw her standing in the door way.
Oh no, not again
“Hey Joe,” Kati said bubbly, “Hey Nick.” My stomach dropped when she said my name and I cleared my throat searching for some source of sound.
“Hey,” I lightly greeted reaching behind me to scratch my head then stopped when I notice Joe chuckle in the background. Heat rose to my cheeks as I cleared my throat again and stared down at the cream colored carpet.
“Hey, Kati, do you happen to have any milk of the chocolate variety?” Joe asked pushing past me and nudging my shoulder as he stepped closer to Kati.
“Yup, let me just set these sheets down an…” she was quickly cut off by Joe
“No, No, No , I’ll get it myself Miss Kati I don’t want to cause you any trouble, ya’ her’? ” said in a hillbilly accent pushing past her as I snapped my eyes up to look at Joe and gave him an evil stare. Joe winked at me and zipped out of the room, leaving me alone with Kati.
Joe, you’ll be dead by tomorrow morning
