Age is just a number

Chapter 11

Cailtin's POV**
Larissa's hiding something. I can tell. She's just been really secretive. She's never home. I know she's not with Aria, she's been in Los Angeles for the past week.

Larissa POV

I've been staying at Kyle's for the past week. He got a job and is working a lot. I usually just sleep, make dinner. Kyle cleans, does laundry and everything. He's amazing. Like, I've never felt this way with anyone before.

I was watching Sponge Bob. Well, it was on. I recently dropped out of public school and started homeschool. I was busy doing school work. When the doorbell rang.
"Hello?" I said answering the door to some man.
"Oh I'm sorry Ms. I thought Kyle lived here." He said starting to turn around.

"Oh sir! Kyle Parkson?" I asked.

The man turned around and nodded his head. "Why yes? Who are you?"

I just smiled, "I'm Larissa. I'm a friend of Kyle's I've been staying her because my mom's out of town. I can call Kyle if you'd like?"

"Thank you. I'm his step father, Michael."

I called Kyle.
"Hey, a guy is here for you? He says he's your stepdad Michael."

Kyle almost screamed of excitement,"I'll be right over!"
and with that he hung up.

**20 minutes later**
Kyle ran through the door "MICHAEL!!!!" And jumped on him. I started to laugh. And Michael kicked him off and they started to play wrestle.

"I hate to break this up, even though Kyle is losing. But would you like me to get you two drinks?"

They both shouted, "BEEEER!"

I grabbed a couple beers from the kitchen and tossed them to them.
"So I'm gonna go to the beach and let you two talk."

"NOOO STAYYYY!" Kyle yelled.

"Yes, please I'd love to get to know you." Michael said.

I just sat done. I didn't really know whether to mention the whole we're 7 years apart and dating. Or not. I mean, they could be cool about it. Or yell and threaten to get the cops involved.

"So Kyle, since she seems shy, why won't you tell me about her." Michael said laughing at me.

"Oh she's so amazing. She's been a great help. Always cooking for us. Plus, she's a student for LCHS except she's taking the online course. Also, she's my girlfriend." Kyle said smiling.

"She sounds delightful. And don't worry son, I won't mention anything to your mom about her being 16." Michael said giving us a wink.

How'd he know I was 16? Oh well I shouldn't worry. At least we're letting this secret out one at a time. First Aria. And now Michael. Who's next?

** A week later**
I was packing my suitcase so I can fly out to see Aria. They said they've had signs of movement and they think she's gonna wake up in a week or less.

"Babe, is there anything we're missing?" Kyle asked.

He was coming with me so I wouldn't be alone.

"Uh no, I have my makeup, hair products, tooth brush, tooth paste, clothes, purse, medicine, glasses." I'm all good.

"Good me too."

We put our bags in the car and left.

About 3 hours later, we arrived at the hotel we were staying at. There were 5 rooms. Two bed rooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and living room. It was like our own little house.
"Princess, let's sleep until 2, visiting hours aren't until 3." Kyle said dragging me to the bed.

"Babe, I wanna unpack first." I argued.

Kyle didn't care he came and hugged me from behind kissing my neck and whispering in my ear, "We'll do it later."

I ended up giving in. We crawled in bed together and just cuddled. We both fell asleep a few minutes later.

**11am**

They had me, they were chasing me. I could see them about a mile away, "Larissa! You need me!! You need me!!!!" I screamed for help as the man grabbed me, but before I could see his face I woke up.

I woke up to Kyle looking at me with concern.
"Princess? Are you okay?" He asked hugging me.

I broke out of his grip and walked into the kitchen. There was no way I could fall back to sleep. I didn't want to know who that man was.
