Forever and Always

11. I Did What?!

"Okay now you're scaring me. Out with it. What happened last night? Why can't I remember anything."

I stared at Kaleb's face, waiting for an answer. He gulped and replied.

"Ok so like most of my parent's parties, everyone was shitfaced drunk and we were playing, you know, party games." 

"Ok so?"

"Well you did a body shot on Andrew, then ran away to the deck, puked on my mom's favorite plant, oh and humiliated Sammi but then she threw her drink on your dress and then I took...."

My head was spinning with the onslaught of new information. Blurred images battered against my already bruised brain. Andrew...oh my god! "Andrew Lipkins?!?!" Please say no. Please say no. Please say...

"Yep" 

Images were coming faster and I held my head to stop the pain. 

"We danced? on the deck?" Kaleb nodded in confirmation. 

"Ok so the last thing I remember is grabbing a drink from some guy, going out to the deck, dancing with you, talking to Sammi but I don't remember her spilling anything on me or anything after that." 

I was furiously trying to rack my brain and find out what more I remembered but I came up empty handed. 

"Wait. Why'd you go to the deck in the first place?" Kaleb's brow furrowed in the most adorable way as he asked this question. 

I was so busy staring at his cuteness that I almost forgot to respond to the question and when the question finally registered in my head, I blushed. 

"Oh...well. Um. Yea." I stuttered out. Kaleb was looking at me like I had three heads. 

What kind of answer is that?!  Well I can't exactly tell him I was jealous because of a drinking dare! 

"Anyways moving on, how did I end up in your room wearing no pants?" I cocked an eyebrow while asking him this question. 

To my surprise, Kaleb's ears turned red. Mentally I was awwww'ing but on the outside I was confused at why Kaleb would be blushing. 

"Uhh...okay well. Um. No." This time it was his time to stutter. 

"Wait what? What do you mean no?" I questioned.

"Well I don't really want to tell you. It's embarrassing."

"For you or for me"

"For both of us"

"But you have to tell me, I don't remember anything. I have a right to know." I was speaking in a low voice but I was ready to scream and throttle him. 

"...ok." Kaleb refused to look at me. He was staring at the carpet while he took a seat on the counter facing me. He grabbed a napkin and started tearing off pieces of it. 

I knew that habit. It meant he was embarrassed and nervous. I urged him to continue with whatever he was going to say. 

"No interruptions while I relay everything that happened. ok?"

"Ok that's fair. Now go!"

"Ok ok! Geez. Well Sammi threw her drink on your dress, red wine I think it was. Your dress on black so it didn't really show up but you were really drunk, wet-I mean from the drink that Sammi um threw on you and you smelled like a frat party which is an accurate description of my mom's parties acctually but that's not the point. So I took you up to my room so you could change out of that dress and take a shower."

Kaleb was rambling and as cute as it was, I was eager to know what happened so I put my hand on his leg that was moving up and down to try and calm him down. He jumped three feet in the air when my hand came in contact. 

I held my hands up in a sorry gesture and waved at him to make him continue with his story. 

"So you took a shower and I gave you my boxers-clean of course- and my tshirt and youkindofthrewyourselfatme."

He looked up trying to see my expression. I was still trying to figure out what he mumbled. 

"What do you mean I threw myself at you?!" 

"I well...you literally ran and threw yourself at me and um...tried seducing me?"

Now my cheeks were on fire. Oh god. Kill me now.

"Things got a little carried away but we didn't...you know...do anything. But right before you passed out, you had a panic attack? You were screaming and crying?" 

Kaleb was no longer embarassed. His eyes were hard and questioning. 

"Who were you talking about?"

"I..what?" 

"You kept saying leave me alone. Get away from me. Don't touch me. Why?"

"I don't know. Probably had a night mare."

"You weren't sleeping."

"Daymare then"

"Kitten...what aren't you telling me?"

"Nothing! Can we just forget it?!" I snapped at him. He recoiled and nodded once, left my orange juice on the counter and started cleaning up the kitchen without a backwards glance at me. 

This wasn't my fault. I didn't want to talk to him right now. Everyone has their demons that they want to hide. I'm sure Kaleb does too. In fact, I know he does but he never talks about them. Talk about a kettle calling the pot black. 

I sighed and awkwardly talked to him and put my hands around his waist. Hugging now felt a little awkward. Well who am I kidding? It was very awkward. But this was my best friend and just because I'm an over sexual drunk doesn't mean he's not my friend anymore. 

Kaleb's tense shoulders dropped at my hug and he slowly turned around and encompassed me in a proper hug, almost lifting me off the ground. 

We stayed like that for a good five minutes before he released me and walked me home. 

I can't believe I threw myself at him! I walked in my house with red cheeks and nervous eyes before going on with my normal everyday routine.
