Like The Finest Poetry On Concrete.

And You Were Miles Away.

"Babe, please get up, the guys are coming over in a little and Balz wants you to meet his girlfriend," Chris said, pulling on my leg from the end of the bed. I grabbed onto the headboard and held it tightly.

"I haven't met any of the other girlfriends, why does it matter?" I asked with my face buried in the pillows.

"Baby, please. Bals wants you to meet her," he said, continuing to pull. It was getting harder and harder to hold on to the headboard. He dropped my legs. "Kari Lynn Marie Taylor, get your ass up! Or I will throw you over my shoulder and everyone will see you naked."

I glanced over at him and giggled. "You're the only person that would have a problem with that." I winked at him and he rose an eyebrow at me. He ripped the comforter off of me, exposing my naked body to the cold air and picked me up, putting me over his shoulder. "Chris! Put me down."

Hell no he was not doing this. He started to walk out of the room, struggling to hold on to me.

"I'll get ready, please put me down."

He stopped. "You swear?"

"Yes!" I said and he slid me off of his shoulder. I actually did get ready. I was too afraid to see what he would do if I didn't, and finally, after an hour and a half, I walked out and down to the living room where everyone was at, including some girls I didn't know, except for Kylie.

"About fucking time, we've been sitting down here for an hour!" Balz yelled at me, making me jump slightly and raise my eyebrows.

Chris looked at me and smiled. "I told you guys she was getting ready."

"She a girl, Balz, it takes a while," Kylie said and smiled at me. "Hi gorgeous."

"Hey babe," I said, smiling back at her and sitting on Chris' lap.

Chris wrapped an arm around me and then held the other one out, pointing to one of the girls.

"That's Jessica," he said. Ricky's girlfriend. "Allie," he pointed to next, and I knew that was Ryan's lady. "You already know that asshole," he said, smiling at Kylie, then pointed to the girl that was giggling from something Balz said, I'm assuming. "And that's Ryan, Balz's girlfriend." Then he looked at me and smiled. "Girls, this is Kari."

I blushed at the way he said my name and gave all of them a friendly smile, to which they returned.

"Come on doll," Kylie said, standing and grabbing my hand. I rose an eyebrow at her. "We're going out."

"But why?" I asked, wrapping my other arm around Chris and he squeezed me.

"Because I want us all to hang out," she said and pulled me out of Chris' grasp.

I frowned as she started pulling me toward the door, the other girls standing too. "But my Chrissy just got home."

"I don't care," she said, looking at me. I gave her the puppy dog eyes. "Go give him a kiss before he thinks of a way to kill me, and we'll be waiting outside."

I nodded and walked over to Chris, bending forward in front of him. "Public display of affection coming up."

We kissed tenderly for a few moments and the guys all made vomiting noises. Except Ghost, he just smirked. I pulled away and started to walk to the door. "Bye guys."

"Bye Kari!" They all said in unison to me. I walked outside and saw the girls standing around Kylie's car. my phone vibrated and I looked at it. There was a text from Chris.

Chris: I miss you already.

Me: I miss you too.

I smiled and joined the girls. I had a feeling it was going to be a good day.
