My ex-boyfriends dad

20

I pulled away from the hug and Keaton looked me in my eyes. I smiled and him and grabbed his hand before pulling him into my room.

"So...what's up?" Keaton ask as we sit on my bed after closing my bedroom door.

"I just want to talk...I've been thinking and...I want us to work on fixing things between us." I said in a calm voice.

It was the truth. I did want to work on us but whenever we were around Lazlo I might throw Keaton a kiss or two.

"Yeah?" Keaton asked still feeling unsure about the fact that I just invited him over.

"Yes. I want to work this out so we aren't weird around each other and also so you won't think I'm mad at you for what happened. I understand.".

And truly, I did understand why Keaton did what he did.

"We'll stay friends but I want us to spend time together ok? Fix things and make them better." I say with a smile and he smiles back which tells me he agrees.

I hug Keaton and he hugs me back.

"Well I guess I should start talking now.....I uhhh I'm sorry. I know I've said it before but I am sorry ok? It was messed up for me to cheat on you I just didn't know what to do. I wanted sex with you because I felt like you had to have that in a relationship. After you left and I started to "date" June..ya know, my best friend, I realized how you felt because I didn't want sex with her I just wanted time and that's all you wanted from me but I couldn't see that."  Keaton lowered his tone and he grew a bit sad as he looked me in my eyes.

I cupped his face as I really did feel bad for him and didn't mean for him to feel this way.

"It is all ok Keaton, you don't have to explain anything to me and I'm sorry that it didn't work out between the two of you. You were great to my me in the beginning I just felt weird because you started to distance yourself and it hit me really hard." I mentioned to him and he nodded before sniffling.

"Yeah I know. It was because I had a lot going on ya know. Our relationship had been going on for so long and I thought I was started to lose feelings and I didn't want to hurt you at all so instead I kept myself away so you would hopefully lose feelings first." Keaton admitted and everything started to make sense.

"Keaton I'm just glad your finally being honest about everything. The night you had that party when you asked me to go get beers I was a bit angry at you because you had only talked to me when you needed something. I was tired of supporting you and not getting any of that support turned back around and given to me." I said and he nodded because he understood and I continued to make my point.

"I didn't come back down there because Lazlo offered to do it for me so I took that opportunity to take a break from you and let you have some time to yourself." I say as I couldn't say anything else after hearing myself speak of Lazlos name.
My body shivered as I thought of him and I say Keaton raise an eyebrow at me.

"You ok?" He asked as he held my hand. I pulled myself back together and shook off the thought I was starting to fall into.

"Yes I'm ok. How about we make some food together...oh! Bake a cake!" I exclaimed and he laughed a bit.

"I can't cook." Keaton said while a smile on his face.

"That's why we're going to do it together so I can teach you!" I grab Keatons hand and pull him up.

We were mixing the cake batter and I asked Keaton to crack eggs and put them in.

I moved away from the batter bowl to watch him crack the eggs and he does pretty well except for the eggshell or 2 that dropped in the batter. I took come tweezers I found in the kitchen and pick out the shells when I took over the cooking again.

I started to mix everything together when I feel Keaton behind and he hugs my waist. I liked having him as a friend. Lexi was my best friend but with her she was always somewhere with a guy so we didn't do things that I wasn't all the time but we would get to them.

I scooped up a bit of the batter and fed it to Keaton and he hummed at the taste.

"This is good! You can really cook!" Keaton said and I smiled brightly. I turned around and twisted the knob on the over to start some heat.

I grabbed a round pan and poured the batter in as Keaton watched me. I made sure to scoop all the batter out as I wanted this cake to be good. Keaton decided he wanted to do a red velvet cake so we did.

I put the pan in the oven and closed the over door before clasps my hands together and starting to rub them against each other to get some of the sugar dust off of my hands.

"Well... we should clean and then set out the icing and cake decorations for when it's done!" I said and Keaton immediately went to get the broom. Keaton was sweeping while I focused on cleaning the counter.

I watched Keaton sweeping and I had to say that I was really proud of him for being honest with me and agreeing to work things out. That part I was being serious about and the only thing I was "using" him for was so that I could give him a kiss around Lazlo.

—————————————————————————
We were finished cleaning and I had tamed the cake out of the oven and turned the oven off.

Me and Keaton were trying to place the cake on a platform so that we could start the icing process.

We had finished the icing process and I went ahead and cut us 2 slices each. Me and Keaton are while sitting at the table and I was really happy we were spending time with each other.

We were finished eating and I decided that I wanted to have Keaton help me put up the cake so I could leave some to my mom when she came home.

"Well! I'm really glad I got this time with you but I have to head home now before I end up getting in trouble by my dad." Keaton says.

"Alright well I'll see you later Keaton." I say as we start to walk towards my front door.

Keaton turns around and looks at the before hugging me and I hug back. I open the front door and Keaton walks out and I close it behind him slowly.

I push my back up against the front door and smile to myself.
