This is love? (Braeden Lemasters)

(Chapter Twelve)

Today was Christmas, the house was completely decorated and the streets too, he had bought gifts for everyone, for Michelle a machine to make moisturizing masks, for Dave a ukulele since he wanted one, for Austin a couple of weights since now he was stuck in the world of exercises, for braeden a new black electric guitar, for cole some new drumsticks for his drums and for dylan a guitar stand, today the Prestons, dylan's mother and him, Austin and my grandmother, would come. I forgot, my grandmother would give her a few things to knit, I went downstairs to help Michelle cook, we would prepare stuffed chicken, we spent about two hours making all the food since there would be many of us, I went up to take a bath.
-Will you take a bath? -asked Braeden from his avitation, apparently he was playing the guitar
-yes, why the question? -
-I'm just bored, I've already played a lot of arctics monkey chords and I don't know what else to do-, he entered and left his guitar on the stand
-Braeden, were you completely a virgin when we did it? -This question came out of nowhere, I understood that he was a virgin just like me
-yes, I never got to something else with another girl because I didn't really feel comfortable with that-
-ohh, so we lost our innocence together so to speak-
-well I was not so innocent to say -he said and laughed, I pushed him hitting him on the shoulder
-It's true, the first time I did ... I did what you already know was at 13, not even the boys know about it-
-woah, I really didn't expect that, do you remember the day? -
-The truth is, sorry, but it was the time we went to a pool and I saw you in a bathing suit-this made me smile a lot and took me by surprise
-I didn't see it coming-
-Sorry, I did not control my impulses, much less my hormones-
-We have changed a lot since we were thirteen, in fact I think you are getting dark-I said running my fingers over his lips
-I don't like vigote so much, I think I'll shave-
-as you want Matthew-
-Okay Joan-
-I don't like my middle name and you know it-
-alright I'm sorry- he attracted me to him and he kissed me, the kiss hard until we no longer had oxygen, after that he began to kiss and neck and clavicle
-Braeden stop, this is not the time-
-Okay-stop kissing my clavicles and kiss my cheek
-I love you-
-I love you Joan-
-Braeden stop telling me like that-
-Okay Joan-she ran out into the hall when she saw that I wanted to throw a pillow at her

I put on a bright red dress that reached four fingers above my knees, some black heels, which I never used, I made an eyeliner and put red lipstick on my lips, I forgot, me and the boys did tests and things like that and We would send them by mail to school, we had already finished the first semester, just one more semester and we would finish school, on our graduation day we would go to Santa Clarita to graduate, my grandmother was going to pay me for college, she really had money, He said that he would also help me pay for an apartment, I wanted to study design and Braeden was going to study economics, I really don't think he will finish his career since he clearly likes music more, I knocked on Braeden's door and he opened, he is dressed something imformal but cute, he had black pants, a striped shirt and some traditional vanz, he liked that kind of shoes a lot
-You look very pretty -he said and gave me a turn and finally gave me a kiss
-You do not stay behind-

-The boys want us to have a Christmas party, let's go if you want-
-That would be great, but I have to make another curticulum since they didn't accept me as a waitress-
-ohh I'm very sorry, don't get frustrated, you will surely get a better job-
-thanks for everything Breh, you are a fundamental support for me
-no there is that, you are the person who I love with all my heart and it is my duty to support you in whatever you want to do-I kneel down and rub my back
-I love your smell -he told me in my ear which made me laugh, we went downstairs and they are all there, today without a doubt it would be a long night

I decided to do the curriculum for tomorrow since I had the day off, I went to find a vest to go to the party with Braeden, well it was not a party itself, it was like a reunion
-Kate, aren't you cold? -he asked me looking from top to bottom
-That's why I brought this vest, silly-
-dylan said he was waiting for us at his house-Braeden informed us, we got in the car and got to Dylan's house, got out and went to his house, inside was Zack, a friend from Cole and Gef who was the new friend we had done
-Hey Dylan I thought there were celebrities or something like that, you disappointed me bro, said Cole shaking his head from side to side
, they put on the music and everything got wind, cole was discussing with zack about the illuminati, dylan was challenging Gef to drink a liter of water in less than thirty seconds and me and braeden were talking about our universities on the couch, the friend of Cole looked at us carefully a while ago or at least he was looking at Braeden, maybe he wanted to say hello or something, I stopped to pour myself a glass of punch, this punch is very good, in passing I went to ask Dylan if he had something to eat since i was hungry
-dyl, do you have anything to eat? -
-I think there are cookies in the cupboard-
-ok thanks-I went to the cupboard and took out some cookies in the shape of a square with chocolate chips, I returned to sit with Braeden but there was already Cole's friend, she was talking very animatedly with Braeden but he did not pay much attention, I can't deny that I got jealous since she was a blonde with blue eyes and I was just a brunette with earth-colored eyes, well I had to mark territory so I went and sat on Braeden's legs and gave her a kiss on her cheek, she looked at me in disgust and rolled her eyes
-These cookies are very good, do you want? -I offered but she made a face of indignation
-Those cookies are fattening, you are probably already eaten, they have whole packages-she stopped and walked to where the punch was and there she stared at me very angry, I had been hurt by the comment she said about my body, I had always been insecure of myself body at the time of having TCA when I was 14, I left Braeden's legs and sat on the other side, I put down the cookies and just looked at the floor still prosecuting the words that girl had told me
-what do you have kate? -
-Do you think I'm fat? -
-You are not fat Kate and if it were so I would not care, she only said it to annoy you, ignore her-
-All right ....- I just stayed there thinking about his damn words, Braeden just looked at me, Cole came and sat between us
-Guys I beat Zack, if they exist ... what happens?, Kate you look somewhat depressed, what did you do now breaden? -

-I didn't do anything this time, your friend told her that Kate was fat-
-Sofia?-
-If she answered her
-oh I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, she's very hurtful sometimes, pay attention to her, she just said it to bother you-
-Well, in that case I succeed, bye Cole, merry Christmas-I stopped and took my coat to go out, I opened the door and left
-Kate !, Kate !, wait for me! -I felt Braeden run after me
-what do you want now?-
-You can't go alone, something could happen to you-
-to defend myself Braeden-
-I know that but something could happen to you, let's go in my car, we can take a walk too-
-ok, just because I got a little cold-we got on and braeden started the engine, braeden always drove with one hand on my leg and this time it was not the exception
-where we go?-
-To a park, change because it is very cold, you have clothes in the back, I went to the back seats and saw what I had brought, it was a vest, pants, socks and my converse shoes
-But I don't bring a suggestor and someone can see me-
-Wait, I'm going to stop and cover you with my vest-he parked in a vast beautiful street, nobody was outside, he got out of the front and got on with me in the back, he took off his vest and covered me, his eyes were closed, I liked that from braeden, he was very chivalrous with everything, I put on my t-shirt and then my pants, I put on my socks and finally my sneakers
-You can open your eyes breh-he opened them and smiled at me shyly, again I sat forward with him and began to walk until we reached a park, he looked vandalized, from there he could see almost the entire city, we sat in some empty, the wind made my hair run, the lights gave tranquility and passed, Braeden hugged me with an arm by the sintura and I put my head on his shoulder
-You are the best thing that happened to me kateryn, I hope to spend many more Christmases by your side-
-I think it will be Braeden- I kissed him on the cheek and him on my head, this was a special moment, it was a moment that would keep me forever
