One Constant Holiday

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Chapter Twenty-Eight

   Since Danielle revealed Kelsey's little secret early this morning, I hadn't been able to sleep. I felt horrible because I wasn't sure if I still loved her like she loved me and I didn't want to hurt her feelings and let her down again. 

   I was honestly the world's biggest jerk.

      It's like, I know that over the past year I would never have got through it without her, she was like my rock - somebody who was always there. Maybe that was because I did love her? Huh, I didn't know.

   With Sammi and with herself beforehand I would have done anything for them and I still miss Sammi like crazy, I feel like I'm betraying her memory by just thinking about this, but I also know that if she wanted me to end up with anybody, it would be Kelsey even if Sammi only met her once.

   I mean with Kelsey, we would just spend hours in bed and talk about the most random crap, but I loved them because she was the only person in the world who I would feel comfotable with. I know this is girly, but she was also the only person I didn't feel embarrassed around when I talked to her about the most cringe worthy shit. Not even Calvin.

   I sighed, when I split up with Kelsey the first time, I spoke to Calvin beforehand and he understood and we remained friends - just. But if he hears about this, I don't know. I mean, we've been best mates for about 15 years but even I know that his sister comes before me, I wouldn't expect anything less, which is why I've really got to think about this.

  I don't want it to be one of those, you didn't know what you had till it was gone. 

     Like, when I was dating her, I would brush the lads off to spend the evening with her but then that would also involve good boy sex, as she used to call it. And I can't compare our old relationship to the current one because everything's changed.

   I ran downstairs to see just my mum sat there. "Hey darling." She greeted and I smiled at her. "Do you want a cup of tea?"

   "No thanks, I need to ask you a question actually." I admitted. If I was going to get somebody's opinion, it may as well be somebody who won't babble. 

   "Shoot away."

      "Well, last night Dani came in last night and told me that Kelsey still loved me-" I stopped at my mother rolling her eyes. "What?"

   "You didn't know? I thought everyone knew." She laughed through her shock.

      "No I didn't know."

      "Oh, well. Carry on."

      "Right, well I was made aware last night and I don't know how I should approach the whole subject I mean, I don't know if I love her like I used to...you know? So I wanted to ask you, do I act like I lover her still?"

   She gave me a warm smile, "You know what I'm going to say. You asked me the first time you started dating her. You said you wasn't too sure and that you didn't want to ruin your friendship with Calvin and then you went behind everybody's backs for months."

   "Oh yeah, I remember now." 

     "Exactly, and I can't tell you whether you loved her or not but for you two to go from not talking for years to suddenly talking everyday is extraordinary. Not many people could do that, especially with your history." She reminded me and I couldn't deny or fault any of her words because they were correct.

   So I asked her my second query, "What about my age? I feel like if I start dating Kelsey, she'll be my one true love and I feel like I haven't experienced the world enough."

   "You were going to get married a year ago. If Sammi didn't die, you'd be married by now, does that not say everything?"

   Her words were hitting home, I knew she was correct and as I thought over the past year, I knew that I genuinely loved her. I was sure of it. The more I thought of spending my life with Kelsey, the more it appealed to me. I mean, she was gorgeous, she knew me more than anything and leaving her behind with everybody else was just a stupid idea on my part. I had been happy this past year just grafting for my dad and I got to see my family. I had seen the world, now it was time to take Kels with me.

   I stood up and gave my mum a hug, "Thank you."

     "What's your decision?"

     I smirked and pretended to zip my lips up, but I think the huge smile I was sporting kind of give my choice away.

   Just as I was about to go out of the front door, I heard my mum yell,"Go and get her son!" Which made me genuinely laugh and smile in excitement.

*******

   I got to Kelsey's house and knocked on the door. Her mum answered the door, "Kyle?"

     "Hey, is Kelsey in?"

     "She is, but from the state she was in last night, I wouldn't be surprised if she was up there with the world's biggest hangover." She laughed and I smiled at her.

   "Right, well I'll only be two secs." 

      She nodded her head so I ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time and burst in through her bedroom door to see her still asleep. I bent over her and gave her a small kiss on her cheek but that made her do squat so I got the yoga ball from the corner of her room and threw it at her, the rush of happiness getting the better of me.

   She sat straight up and when her eyes met mine, she scowled and attempted to lay back down, but I ran towards her and kept her sat up. I needed to do this. 

   "Kelsey Entwistle, I love you." I confessed with a huge grin.

      Instead of her declaring her love for me, she frowned. "Is this some joke? Has Dani said something?"

   "Kelsey, did you not hear me? I love you. Like really bad."

      "I'm going to kill her." She mumbled as she held her head. "Now I have a headache and tell your sister that I'm going to kill her when I recover."

   I stood up in a burst of sudden anger. "What part of I love you don't you understand?"

      She looked back towards me, "She hasn't said anything?"

      "Well, she said last night that you felt the same way...but now I'm starting to think she was lying to me..." I trailed off. I felt like a complete knob. Of course she doesn't-

   She suddenly sprung from her bed and gave me a huge hug, her hands locking behind my neck so I was forced to look down at her and I couldn't help but stare into her large, brown eyes with complete and utter love. I was one hundred percent sure now.

   "Are you being serious?"

      Instead of repeating the words, I bent my head down and captured her lips in mine with as much passion and love I could muster. This one action should tell her how much I love her.

   We let go to catch our breaths, her soft pants were mingled with my own. "I love you." She replied with a small smile.
