I can't help loving you

chapter twenty

“Can you guys please open the door,” Nick sounded irritated.

“Nope, we’re making out,” Kevin told him. He started making fake kissing noises. I tried holding in my laughter as Nick yelled at him to stop kidding around.

I had forgotten about what Kevin had said.

“Kevin?”

He smiled, nodded at me to continue.

“What did you mean when you said that your da-”

“Dude, come on,” Nick whined. Kevin shook his head as he walking over to the door. As soon as he opened it, Nick pushed it all the way, making it bang right into Kevin.

“Oh my gosh are you okay Kevin?” I went over to him. He nodded, rubbing his forehead.  Nick was just standing there laughing at him.

“Do I even have to ask if you did that on purpose?” Kevin glared at him.  

“Whatever, it’s your fault for not opening the door in the first place,” Nick argued.

“Well you didn’t have to hit me!”

“I can’t control my strength, it’s too-"

“Guys, calm down,” I laughed.  They both turned to me at the same time. I looked at both of them, not knowing what else to say. But I didn’t have to worry because they started laughing.

“You’re so cute Kate, you should’ve seen your face. You looked at defenseless and scared,” Nick teased.

“Shut up,” I felt my cheeks warm up.

“Aw she’s blushing!” Nick continued.

“You’re asking for it,” I warned. I suddenly felt a weird wave coming from Kevin. I looked at him. He had a frown but quickly gave me a fake smile after realizing I was looking at him.

Why were they waves of jealousy? Is it because I was talking to Nick instead?

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Nothing, why?”

“No reason,” I shrugged.

“Well,” Nick began, “I have to get working now but if you try to do something to Kate, I’ll kill you and I don’t care if I get fired.”  He actually did look serious and it felt a little weird since he’s always playing around.

“I’ll see you guys later,” he left, leaving the door open.

Kevin turned to me.

“Why are you smiling?” I asked.

“Cause I’m happy.” He  took a step closer to me. He pressed his forehead onto mine and looked down into my eyes. I smiled reaching down to hold his hand.

We didn’t say anything and just stood there for a couple minutes.

“Come on,” he pulled me out into the hallway and around the house. After about the fifth turn, I asked him where he was taking me.

He smiled opening a door. Inside was a huge garage with just one car in the dead center. The red paint shined off the car and it looked as if it costs a fortune.

The garage door started opening as Kevin opened the passenger door for me.

“I’m not even gunna ask,” I laugh as I slipped into the car. The black seats also looked as if they were never used.

“Is this car new?” I asked.

He shook his head.

“I actually like to use it a lot but I never have the time to go out.” He started driving and after a couple of minutes of silence, he turned on the radio.

(A/N : Hey sorry everyone lol I just made up some radio station so sorry if it doesn’t sound normal or like the people in the radio stations say stuff lol sorry!)

“-And also the new Taylor Swift concert is coming up! Call in at five and the twentieth caller will win tickets! Okay now let’s get back to the music!”

The Violet Hour started playing and I wanted to sing aloud but just did it in my head instead.

“Your lips are nettles. Your tongue is wine,” he sang.

“You know this song?” I asked.

“Naw, I’m just guessing the lyrics,” he smiled. I laughed as he continued.

“You love all sailors, but hate the beach.  You say ’come touch me’ but you’re always out of reach. Come on Kate, sing.”

“No way, I’m a horrible singer.”

Kevin shook his head. “Remember that day you first came over and I left you alone for a second and when I came back you were singing.” A smile was swept across his face. “You were good.”

I felt my cheeks turn red.

“That only blooms in the violet hour,” he sang. I sang the next part.

“Your arms are lovely, yellow and rose. Your back’s a meadow, covered in snow.” We end up singing the rest together and even though I know I’m probably still blushing, it’s fun.
