Chapter 8

I tried not to burst out laughing while Kevin stared at Kirstie in awe.

Kirstie didn't seem to notice though. She was kneeling down, petting one of her dogs with a huge smile on her face.

She didn't even notice us until I called out "Hey Kirstie!"

Kirstie's head snapped up and her smile grew wider.

"Hi Mitchie! Why weren't you at you house?"

"Fainted. Long story. Tell you later."
I said, making subtle eye movements towards Kevin.

Her face fell.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry! come here!" she said, walking towards me and hugging me tightly.

"Kirstie, this is Kevin. Kevin, Kirstie!" I said, snickering slightly.

"Hi!" Kirstie said, reaching her hand out to Kevin.

Kevin blushed and shook it.

"Good afternoon." Kevin said, not meeting Kirstie's eyes.

"Oh, and this is Olaf and Pascal! Aren't they cute?"
Kirstie exclaimed, gesturing to the two dogs sitting next to her.

I began panting them while Kevin made a fool of himself, trying to speak without stuttering.

Kirstie was giggling hysterically when I decided to put Kevin out of his misery.

"Should we all go inside?" I asked loudly.

Kevin shook his head slightly.
"I really ugh.... Really should be going. I'll see you two later. B - bye K - Kirstie!"
He said, his face growing redder by the second.

"Bye Kevin! Nice meeting you!" Kirstie said cheerfully.

Kevin nodded in my direction, started the car and drive off.

I smiled at Kirstie.
"Looks like someone has a crush on you."
I said, snickering.

Kirstie giggled and followed me inside.

Wyatt started meowing as soon as I came in, but cowered at the sight of Olaf and Pascal.

I picked Wyatt up and let the dogs smell him. He seemed fine after a while so I put him down.

Kirstie set her purse on the island and sat down on the couch, Olaf jumping up next to her, Pascal to busy playing with Wyatt.

I quickly drank a glass of water, remembering what the nurse said, and I sat down next to Kirstie.

"So, I wanna talk.." Kistie said shyly, looking into my eyes with her beautiful hazel ones.

"That kiss.... Did it mean anything? I - I guess I'm just confused. Because... Well I don't know if I feel for you that way. Do you catch my drift?"

I didn't know how to feel. I understood what Kirstie was saying, and I partly agreed with her, but... Maybe this was the right thing to do. I felt like Kirstie wasn't the right type of person for me. Maybe I was interested in something else entirely.

I smiled down at Kirstie and held her small hands in mine.

"It didn't really mean anything, Kirstie, I think we are better off as friends."

She nodded and gave me a hug.

"So," she said after a few seconds,  "why did you faint?"

I explained to Kirstie what had happened after I left her house.

When I was done, her face was a mixture of horror, anger and confusion.

"I am so fed up of that Scott! Along with his little crony Avi! But I still don't understand.... Why would he be crying over you if he despises you?"

"That's what I wanna know." I said, equally confused.

"Hey, sorry to change the subject, but I think it would be fun if I stayed here tonight. Tomorrow's Friday so I guess we won't be too tired and we can watch movies and stuff!"

I frowned slightly, regretting what I was about to say.
"Kirstie, could you come over tomorrow afternoon? It's just... I think I need to be left with my own thoughts for a while.

Kirstie smiled and nodded her head.
"That's fine! I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Whoah...." I said in awe.

"What?" Kirstie said, tilting her head to the side.

"It's amazing how you see the positives of everything and just... Keep smiling! I wish I had those qualities!"

Kirstie giggled modestly, her small hand covering her mouth.

"Well I should be going! See you tomorrow! Oh... By the way.... Your cousin Kevin, he's pretty cute - gotta go now bye!"

She grabbed her purse from he island and walked out the door, her dogs following closely behind, leaving me staring in her wake.

But I had too much to think about.

Surprise!
This chapter us a bit shorter than usual but I am on holiday for a week so I might be doing more of these surprise updates! Might....
Anyway, this was a bit of a filler, but I hope you enjoy!
