Chapter 10
(I haven't titled this one yet)
Over the next month Shale and I came to a truce of sorts. We weren't best buds by any means but we tolerated each other and I came to respect Shale he was after all sort of like family to Erik. Although I still don't think Shale approved of me I think he had accepted our relationship as impossible to change. My Dad and Gloria were going to see Andrea for a few days and help her pack. She was coming home for Christmas break and even though it wasn't required she insisted that she needed to bring most of her stuff home. I was looking forward to seeing her but at the same time I knew Andrea would be much more suspicious and prying than Dad and Gloria were. It also meant that when they got back we were going on a two week trip for Christmas. The only upside was that for three whole days I would have Erik to myself and I wouldn't need any excuses to go visit my boyfriend. I was packing up when I heard a voice calling me from downstairs. Nate, what was he doing here?
"Kairi, you here?" I hurried down the steps before he came looking for me. I didn't want to have to explain why I was packing an overnight bag.
"Hey" I said "what are you doing here." I asked catching him on the stairway.
"I came to check on you" he said eyeing me suspiciously "I didn't know if you wanted to go somewhere tonight." I quickly peaked out the window worrying. I had told Erik to pick me up tonight. I was going to be spending those three days with him and as much as I loved Nate I needed my Erik time.
"Uh I don't really feel that well. I don't think I really want to go anywhere." I knew Nate could tell I was distracted so I tried to focus back in on him.
"Well in that case we could lounge around and watch movies." I didn't know how to get him to leave without hurting his feelings then I thought of something that would send him running.
"Actually" I said trying to hide my smile "the reason I'm not feeling well is cause Aunty Flo came to visit if you what I mean." Nate looked at me puzzled and I knew he wasn't getting it.
"You know it's that time of the month." I saw comprehension dawn on his face which soon colored a bright red.
"You know" I said "maybe we could go out. I do need to make a tampon run." That did it I saw Nate squirm and I knew it had worked.
"Maybe I should uh... leave you here to uh... rest" said Nate looking down and shuffling his feet backwards towards the door. It was amazing how much boys hated that topic.
"Alright Nate, I think I might go lay down after all." He looked relieved that I had let him off the hook so easily and soon retreated saying a hasty goodbye.
I ran upstairs and grabbed my bag seeing as I did that Erik was now waiting for me in the driveway. I flew down the stairs and out the door wanting nothing more than to bask greedily in his presence. I whipped open the jeep door to see his beautiful if irritated face. I wondered as I got in what had him upset.
He pulled out of the driveway without saying anything and I wondered if I had done something.
"Is something wrong" I asked rubbing his shoulder were it was often the victim of my abuse.
"Why was Nate here" he asked turning to look at me for the first time. I immediately stopped rubbing his shoulder. I mean if that was what was troubling him then he didn't deserve it.
"Really that's what' got you upset? What is it with you and your hatred of Nate" I queried truly at a loss as to what upset him so much.
"Do you have feelings for Nate" he asked sounding small somehow and worried. It took me a minute to answer I was so shocked by his question. He continued on in my silence.
