Adopted by Kellin and Katelynne Quinn

Chapter Six

We soon arrived at the restaurant. It looks so fancy, all lit up with chandeliers and everything. Its beautiful. Kellin opens my door for me and I thank him. Katelynne and Copeland hold my hands.
"Ladies, ladies. Im expecting a hug!" Kellin smiles smugly.
"I said I would hug you, I never said WHEN." I retort.
Kellin pouts and gives me puppy eyes. He weakens me and he knows it, I slip my hands out of Katelynnes and Copelands and walk towards him. He stares down at me with his puppy eyes and I sigh. He bends down so he's at my level and I wrap my arms around his neck. He lifts me up and spins me around, holding me tight. I squeal. He puts me down and smiles "See? Im not that bad!" He laughs.
I roll my eyes "Michael Myers hugged his Mom!"
Kellin laughs "Yeah but Michael Myers also murdered his whole family as a child. Except his little sister and his mom."
"Whatever! Look, I know Katelynne wants you to do that to her, so I think you should do it. Pick her up and hug her and spin her around! She deserves it." I say, smiling at Katelynne.
She smiles widely at me, walking towards Kellin. She mouths "THANK YOU!!!" As she walks past and I wink. Kellin wraps his arms around her waist and Katelynne giggles. He picks her up and spins her around, she squeals. He puts her down and kisses her. Awww! Those two are adorable. Katelynne comes and holds my hand as we walk into the restaurant. Thoughts start entering my head: I shouldnt have hugged Kellin, I shouldnt trust him...I shouldnt trust any man ever again...but I want to trust him! NO! After what Dad did I cant. Im going to distance myself from Kellin now, hopefully it wont be noticeable. Kellin wont care, he probably doesnt even like me. I shake my head, I dont want to think about that.

We sit at our reserved table and order our food. Kellin and Copeland share a pizza but me and Katelynne order various pasta dishes. For afters me and Katelynne order the Cookie Dough + Ice Cream Share Pack. Its basically a long rectangular bowl filled with cookie dough with 3 lumps of ice cream and chocolate sauce on it. Katelynne lets me eat more than half because she gets full up. Kellin orders some chocolate fudge cake and Copeland just orders ice cream. By the end of the meal I feel like Im going to explode. I try my best not to look or talk to Kellin at all during dinner and, thankfully, I dont think anyone notices. During the car journey home I just talk to Copeland, we talk about princesses and castles and unicorns. Typical little girl talk. She's so cute though! When we arrive home its 9:30pm.
"Copeland honey, wakey wakey!" Katelynne whispers, Copeland stirs and Katelynne picks her up, carrying her to her pink bedroom. Dammit, now me and Kellin are alone.
"So, you still up for The Terminator?" Kellin asks, ending the silence.
"Of course!" I say, smiling widely before turning away and mentally scolding myself.
"You ok?" Kellin asks, he seems quite concerned.
"Yeah...yeah, fine." Shaking my head, I turn to face him again.
He changes the subject "So what was really up with you earlier? Katelynne refused to tell me so I assume its serious. If you dont want to tell me thats fine, Im just worried about you." His tone tells me he is being sincere.
"Im sorry, I will tell you soon. I just...want to be...used to you first...if that makes sense? Its not that I dont like you I just have...issues...I cant explain it without telling you, so just know that Im fine, and I will tell you, just not right now." This is really hard. I want to be nice to him, I really do. I just cant!
Kellin nods in understanding "Sure, thats fine. I understand. Tell me when you're ready. Shall we watch The Terminator then?" He smiles at me and I smile back. Mentally scolding myself again, we stroll into the house and flop on the couch.
I stand up "One sec, just gotta go talk to Katelynne!" I say before running up the stairs. I find Katelynne shutting Copelands door.
"Hey sweetie, whats up?" She says lovingly.
I smile "Kellin's about to put The Terminator on. If its alright, I'd like to sit next to you on the couch? I dont want to seem anti social but I dont want to risk...not risk, but..Im having trouble with Kellin. I want to like him, I really do I just...with my past...I feel like I cant, Im at war with myself! What do I do?" I beg.
Katelynne nods "Of course you can sit next to me honey. As for the issues with Kellin, just be polite and nice to him. I understand why you feel that way, but you cant completely cut him off. He'll only blame himself. Dont make yourself uncomfortable, I think in time you will get more comfortable with Kellin. You just arent used to having a kind father figure." She says thoughtfully.
"Thank you so much. I think you're right, I hope you're right. I love living with you guys. I dont wanna leave." Its true, I really do love it here.
"Shh honey, you arent gonna leave. We love having you here too! Now, lets go watch The Terminator before Kellin gets suspicious!" Katelynne says, holding my hand.
"Ok Mom." I say quietly.
Katelynne turns around and looks at me before her eyes fill with tears and she hugs me. She dries her eyes and we walk down the stairs. Katelynne sits next to Kellin and I sit on her other side. We sit together in comfortable silence, a smile breaks through my lips as the familiar Terminator music begins to play.
