Because of You

Chapter 4

 I laid down on my bed while staring at the ceiling and I kept asking the same question, 'what the hell happened?'. I mean seriously, what did happen? everything went from 'I'm sick help me' to 'eat dinner with us' real quick.

It is exactly, 7:06 pm and Race will be coming here by 8 pm which means I still have enough time to prepare myself for dinner. I stood up and went to my closet and started to look for my favorite dress. A teal spaghetti strap dress which length is just above my knees. I checked the time and i was already past 8 pm. Why do girls always take an hour to prepare or get dressed?

After getting down to meet my sister, I was surprised to see Race's family in our table. I gave hem a smile and quickly went to my sister who was at the kitchen cooking.

"Katrina, why are Race's parents here?" I asked curiously.

"They will be having dinner with us."

"but I thought Race was the only one coming?"

"Oh I forgot to tell you, I also invited his parents." she said while giving me a smirk.

" and why did you do so? "

" A little 'get to together " She winked and with that she left.

Well honestly speaking, its just his parents. Our families always had dinner together, but this time around, its different.

I walked to the dining room and proceeded to sit on a chair next to Katrina. Race still wasn't here, he probably just went some where. After a few chitchats of my mom and Race's mom, Andrea ,they turned to me and talked.

" So Kaitlyn I heard you were sick? " asked Andrea.

" Oh, um , yes ms. Andrea, but its no big deal at all. " I replied with a smile.

She was about to ask something again when Race came in. He was wearing a white shirt topped with a black jacket and ripped jeans. How perfect.

" Sorry I'm late." Race said.

He was about to sit when he realized that there were no chairs left. As soon as Katrina saw that Race has no where to sit, I instantly knew that she was gonna give her chair to him so that Race and I would be sitting next to each other.

I grabbed her arm before she was able to fully stand up.

" Don't you dare. " I mumbled at her with a death stare.

" I'm sorry but the food I'm cooking at the kitchen is burning. Now if you please, let go. " She let out a small laugh and stood up.

" Hey Race, you can sit here if you want to." She pointed at her chair.

" No I'm good. Besides, you'll be sitting there for dinner. " Race replied humbly.

" I need to go to the kitchen so its totally fine. "

Race nodded as Katrina left. My sister is a big jerk but what can I do? that's her way of saying I love you anyway.

While eating, mom started a conversation. One heck of a conversation.

" So Race, when are you planning on courting my daughter again?"

I choked. Why must you do this to me mommy? what did I do to deserve this? I immediately drunk water so that I wouldn't die of choking. But of course I'm only kidding.

" Oh, I already am." He replied.

" YOU ARE? " I said surprised.

I covered my mouth. Welcome to 'awkward class' with Kaitlyn Pell. I could not believe what he just said. He haven't even gained my 'sorry' yet. 

My mother was quite amused by what Race said.

" Well that's splendid! " She said and turned to me.

" So when are you planning on saying yes Kaitlyn? "

No. I can't answer her questions. I quickly scanned the room hoping to make a way out of this conversation. My eyes land on Katrina. With my stare, she eventually knew I needed help and ran to the dining room with a pot in her hands.

" Dinner is served! " She said with an weird laugh.

  After dinner, we all said goodbye to each other. I ran to my room and threw myself to my bed. 

" I'm glad that was over. " I said to myself.

I was in the middle of falling asleep when my phone rang, I quickly picked it up and saw that Race was calling me. I answered it.

" Miss me  Already? " I said teasingly.

" Not at all."

" Why'd you call? "

" I just wanted to tell you something"

" Is it really that important?"

" Yes. "

I feel a bit confused. If there was only one thing I cannot predict about him, if he's being serious or not. Because he could be serious and then the next minute he would be laughing his heart out.

" I love you. Goodnight" he said.

The 3 letter sentence made my heart skip beats, made my stomach have butterflies made me happy. I know I shouldn't be doing this, but this is what love is. You'd have to be stupid enough to take risk, because if you're too smart, everything will go wrong because love isn't suppose to smart, its supposed to be taking stupid risks that can either lead you to everlasting happiness or just pure sadness.

" Hey Race.." 

"Hmmm?"

" I love you too."

" So is that a YES? " He asked excitedly.

" Yes. " I answered.

I can hear from the other side of the phone, he was jumping in joy. No matter how much I tell myself that I hate him, I just couldn't lie to myself anymore. 

" Goodnight Race. " I said smiling.

" Goodnight Kait. "

and with that, another unforgettable night was made. I just hope everything will turn out well. I hope I wouldn't regret my decision.
