Kat and Revelyn

Chapter 5

Revelyn woke up when the sunlight from the open windows hit her eyes. It was 8:00 a.m. by the clock. She realised she was in Kat's guest room. She got up and made her way to the bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. In the mirror, she could see her cheeks stained by her tears.

She had cried herself to sleep, hugging pillows which had Kat's lemon scent in them.

She went into Kat's room and saw her sleeping, with her back turned towards the windows.

Revelyn went closer to Kat and tried to look at her face. It was hidden behind her arms. Only her parted lips were visible. Soft music could be heard playing from her phone.

"girls- girl in red"

"...does she like girls.." Revelyn wondered.

Kat sensed a presence in her room. Her eyes fluttered open just to witness the most beautiful sight ever. Revelyn standing beside her bed. Her cheeks puffed, her eyes half open, her hair tied into a messy bun with her glasses, resting on the tip of her nose, as usual. Kat realised her music was playing so she quickly turned it off, afraid Revelyn would find her music taste weird.

"Don't worry, I love that song," Revelyn said. Her voice was slightly hoarse and deep, but still comforting. Revelyn could tell Kat absolutely anything in that voice and Kat would still love to hear it.

Kat turned on the song again.

"Go and freshen up. It's 8 a.m."

Revelyn left the room, after ruffling Kat's hair gently. Kat's heart started beating five times faster, almost to the point where she wondered if something was actually wrong with her body.

When she reached the kitchen, she saw Revelyn standing near the stove, in her turquoise blue pyjamas.

"I'm making breakfast for us. You may sit down."

Revelyn's full concentration was on the pan, trying her best to not burn the omelettes.

"Why didn't you sleep well?" Kat asked when she noticed the slight tiredness in her eyes.

Revelyn kept looking down. Her heart was broken and she was emotionally distorted.

She couldn't get Deven off her mind no matter how hard she'd try.

Kat hugged her, trying to comfort her.
"You could've come to me. You know I'm there for you."

Revelyn couldn't take it anymore, she started sobbing in Kat's embrace. They stayed in that position for a solid three minutes, feeling nothing but utmost comfort and care radiating from each other.

The smell of the omlettes burning ruined the special moment. Kat rolled her eyes looking at the pan.

Revelyn quickly took the pan off the stove and served it. They had to eat burnt eggs for breakfast, but it certainly brought them closer.

Revelyn tied Kat's apron and they both started working once again. When the day ended, Revelyn decided to go get a drink at the bar. Maybe it would help her brain to stop thinking about her ex.

"I'll come home late today. I'm going to the bar with Scott."

"Alright...don't drink too much and call me if you need me to pick you up," Kat replied, knowing the reason behind Revelyn's need to get drunk. Revelyn couldn't focus on anything for more than a minute and her eyes were teary all day.

"Okay."

Revelyn's hands were trembling because of the amount of alcohol she had consumed.
"Revelyn, let's go home now. You're high as fuck."

"I-I- cAn't gO hOme RighTt now sCOtt...if I DO, I wilL kIsS hEr.!"

"Who? Who is her? What about Deven?"

"SCott hE iS an AssHo- *cough*! He cheAteD oN mE witH CarOliNe!"

"Oh, I'm so..sorry.." Scott mumbled apologetically.

Revelyn was really good friends with Caroline. They clinged onto each other whole day and laughed at stubborn customers together. Of course she was saying that because she was drunk.

"YEah, and Kat iS...reallY...beautiFul."

"Uh huh."

"And I fEEl like kissInG *cough* hEr someTimes."

Revelyn's phone rang. Kat was calling.
Scott picked up the call.

"Hey Kat. It's Scott."

"Is she drunk?"

"Yeah."

"Oh okay, please wait. I'm coming to pick her up."

"Alright, thanks"

"No problem"

Scott looked to her right, just to see a drunk Revelyn staring at the wine glass with her tongue sticking out. The sight was extremely amusing.

"She is coming."

"WhOo?"

"Kat."

"OhH nicEe."

Scott exited the bar with Revelyn and waited in the parking lot. When she saw Kat's car, she helped Revelyn get into it, and left.

"Revelyn, my God are you okay?"

"YeS"

"Why did you drink so much...?"

"I hate evEryonE...everyOne beYtrayEd me..." Revelyn shouted, letting all her frustration flow out. Kat was someone who she could trust at the moment. When she got together with Deven, she couldn't socialise as much anymore.

Kat remained silent.

Revelyn suddenly climbed onto Kat's seat, and sat on her lap.

"Revelyn what the fuck!" Kat exclaimed, convinced her heart could tear open her chest and come out any second now. Having Revelyn so close to her, made her feel helpless and nervous, in the butterflies kind of way.

"YoU foUnd mE hOt, riGHT?"

Before Kat could respond, Revelyn placed her lips onto Kat's. Kat broke the kiss immediately, not wanting to take advantage of Revelyn's drunk form. She wanted her to kiss her when she was sober and well in her senses.

But Revelyn took Kat's face in her hands and connected their lips once again. Kat couldn't move her head, Revelyn's grip was stronger.
Kat started kissing back, wrapping her arms around Revelyn's waist gradually. The kiss was a sloppy one. Kat could taste the bittersweet taste of alcohol in her mouth. Revelyn broke the kiss when she ran out of breath.

"I think I like you," she said, this time in a stable voice.

"Revelyn.. you are drunk...."

"I know I *hiccup* am, but, I like you. I want to keep kissing you for a lifetime."

This time, Kat was the one who connected their lips. The kiss was getting rough, it contained in itself passion, lust but the most significant presence of love could be sensed.

Revelyn's hands started messing up Kat's hair. Kat's hands ran up and down the other's back. Kat broke the kiss the moment she felt Revelyn's hands on her shirt buttons.

"Let's go home now," Kat said, a blushing mess.

"Okay, but remember, I like you," Revelyn repeated, giggling continuously. She climbed back to the passenger seat.

"Alright, that's fine."

They drove back home, with Revelyn's hand resting on top of Kat's left hand on the gear throughout the ride.
