Listen to your Heart

Chapter 11

Song: “I’m On Fire” Bruce Springsteen

“You are” he said kissing the side of my neck.

“So beautiful” he said kissing the other side of my neck.

I turned around to face him. I was met by brown shaggy haired, blue eyes, and tan skin.

“Oh Kenny” I moaned as I pressed my lips too his.

I opened my eyes, it still was dark outside. I looked down and felt something tighten around me. It wasn’t the same arm I was used too. It was a little larger, than Taylors. I turned slowly, not waking the body next to me.

He was sound asleep.

He was still dressed and so was I, so I didn’t do anything wrong.  But if I was here when he woke up, it would be wrong. I slowly slipped from his grasp, and slid out of the bed. I quickly grabbed my stuff and high tailed it out of his apartment.

His apartment was only a fifteen minute walk to my house. I needed that time to think. Did I actually have a semi dirty dream about Kenny?

This is all so bad.

I had lectured Taylor about cheating, and me, Nicolette Howard, is walking the line of being faithful and cheating.

The cold wind hit my cheeks, and my feet froze in the snow.

I quietly unlocked my door, and slipped up my stairs.

I collapsed in my bed, trying too warm my body, so I could fall back to sleep. But of course I was too scared to fall asleep. Scared my semi dirty dream would turn into a full blown down and dirty sex scene.

Kenny’s POV

I woke up with the sun beaming in on me through my window; I flipped over hoping to feel the same body that had fallen asleep with me last night. But instead of feeling warm, flesh, all I felt was the very cold empty sheet of my bed. I looked over too see she was gone.

I saw her ring was still on the night stand. Good reason to see her.

~*~*~*~

“Kenny?”

“Hi, Mrs. Howard” I said nervously standing outside of the door. “Is Nicolette around?”

She looked the stairs, and I saw Nico’s little auburn head hide behind the wall.

“I’m sorry. She’s asleep Kenny”

I knew she was lieing, and she knew I knew.

“Well” I felt around in my pocket. “Can you give her this?” I said holding her ring.

She took the ring from my hand.

“I will” she smiled. “I’ll have her call you later”

“Thanks Mrs. H”

Nico’s POV

I hide on the stairs, listening too Kenny’s and my Aunts conversation.

“Are you going to tell me now that Kenny has returned your promise ring, what is going on?”

I walked up stairs, only to have her follow right behind me. I didn’t mean to have left my ring at Kenny’s but I had been in such rush to get out of there.

“I stayed at Kenny’s last night” I mumbled as she followed me into my room.

“Well I figured that”. My aunt may have been blonde, but she was no idiot.
