Kate Awakening

Body Parts

Seth woke from a terrifying dream and was suddenly overcome by a heaviness from the images he had been exposed to. His dream revealed a lifeless Kate bleeding out on the cold hard ground and as he tried to reach her she would only get further and further away. It had been a nightmare he had shared in and out of conscious over the past few days. He was still shaken from not being there to protect her and his dreams were clearly catching up. After coming out of the lucid state he made his way to the bathroom, where he disrobed and stepped into the shower. Turning the knob the hot steam sprung him back to a more hopeful reality. He finished bathing and stepped out in front of the mirror. Standing there as he wiped the moister away, he could barely recognize the man that stood before him. This was not the same person who had the balls to back up his cocky nature. He still couldn't believe what happened with Sonja, how could he have been so blind to her game. He created the fucking con game and yet a set of tits were able to best him. For a moment he remembered how alive she made him feel, he could actually see a future with her, but he quickly remembered she was on the wrong side and she didn't care that uncle eddy was the collateral damage. In that very moment Seth swore he would never let another pair of legs pull one over on him. The only woman he would ever be able to trust with his life would be Kate. A smile spread across his face as he remembered the moment she walked back into their lives. He knew then their was a reason her death felt like someone had punched him in the gut, their was something there. He didn't know what just yet, but he could say for sure she would be the only woman he could ever see as ride or die. All that time they were pulling cons together, she never strayed, she didn't take the moral high ground, instead she took care of him and made him see what an asshole he could be. Seth didn't understand why she stuck around, even when he was on that shit, high as a kite, she didn't abandon him. He was suddenly struck with guilt remembering how he did abandon her. He discarded her on the side of the road like a piece of trash. God forbid, if someone would had hurt her. This revelation caused him to become angry and he had to grip the sink to calm himself down. Just then Richie came strolling in with breakfast. Seth opened the door and made his way over to the closet where he had his clothes neatly hung. Richie pulled some cartons out of a brown paper bag and looked up. "Come on Seth, time to eat, breakfast is the most important meal of the day." He said a little to cheerful.

Seth was dressed now and replied "What the hell has you cheesing like a damn clown that just got off?"

"Just excited to get this shit done brother." Richie replied, knowing good and well that wasn't the reason. Seth grabbed his bag of southern fried grease and went for the door.

"All right I'm going to get Kate, be at the car in Ten." Seth said.

"Sure thing." Richie replied, his mind racing at hearing her name. He still felt like a prick for letting things go as far as they did the night before. He sat there for a moment sucking down a horchata mixed with OJ. His mind took him back and soon he was knee deep in the sensation of her soft skin and the smell of roses. Her lips reminded him of the subtle skin of a sweet George peach and for a preachers daughter she sure knew were to put her hands. Just then he herd the familiar sound of a horn blowing as he hopped up horchata in hand.

Kate paced back and fourth in front of the vehicle, as she wondered what she could possible say to Richie to explain her actions. Their was a part of her that didn't want to say anything, because a part of her liked it. Before she had a chance to look up she herd footsteps approaching "Kate, how are you feeling today?" Richie asked with a sly smile. It infuriated her to see that he was clearly enjoying the position they were now in.

"Actually Richie, I'm feeling pretty good today." She replied trying so hard not to break from that stupid expression on his face. For a moment they both stood there in perpetual silence. That silence was then broken by Seth's voice, urging them to get the hell in the car.
