Mr. Schmidt

Chapter 17

Enjoy.

Kendall POV

Today, I had this math conference to go to. It was this annual thing for mathematicians. I enjoyed it, a lot. I tucked in my white plaid shirt into my gray dress pants. I slicked my hair, you always have to slick the hair. I thought I looked sexy as hell, so I began leave. See, I may be a genius, but at least I have great common sense. Usually people that are smart like me, have no common sense whatsoever.

I grabbed my keys from the table. This year, the conference was held in San Francisco, in honor of Archimedes, a very famous ancient Greek mathematician. He was also an inventor, engineer, physicist and astronomer. He personally was my favorite mathematician.  Last year, it was in honor of Euclid, who also was a Greek mathematician, who's teacher was actually Archimedes. Man, I just love math, if you couldn't tell. I grabbed the books I was supposed to take, then I opened my door.

"Oh, hey Katelyn." I didn't expect her to be on the other side, she scared the hell out of me. She smiled slightly.

"Going somewhere?" I nodded and held up my book.

"The math conference, sorry, I didn't tell you about it." Her demeanor started to change a little bit. "Is...there something wrong?" She crossed her arms and shook her head.

"You really don't know?" I raised my eyebrow and tried to think. Was it her birthday? No. Was it Kaylie's birthday? No. Her dog's? No, she didn't even have a dog. Nothing clicked in my head and I shrugged.

"No idea." She let out a dry laugh and looked back up at me. Oh yeah, she was pissed, but about what exactly? "Katelyn." I sighed, "Just tell what today is."

"Our two month anniversary." Oh? I didn't even realize two months had went by. I guess we didn't celebrate our one month anniversary, for whatever reason. "We didn't celebrate the first one, I admit, I forgot. You forgot too, so it must not have been that important to you." I put my book down on the side table by the door and crossed my arms.

"Then it must've not been important to you either because you forgot as well." She tilted her head.

"And now here we are at our second anniversary, which you once again, forgot, so it really must not mean a damn thing to you." It actually really didn't, I mean, I never got that aspect of a relationship, why did you celebrate anniversaries. Whoop dee doo, we've been together for two months. Yes, our relationship is going well, but I just don't see the need to celebrate every month, or every year. Anniversary in a relationship, was just not in my vocabulary.

"It doesn't..." I said to her. She widened her eyes a bit and then had a hurt look on her face. 

"Our two month anniversary means nothing to you?" She said lowly. I shook my head.

"Any anniversary we have, means nothing to me, I mean, our relationship is going so great, I just don't see the need to celebrate it every month or year." I shrugged.

"Our relationship means nothing to you then?"

"Our relationship means everything to me Katelyn, everything."

"So you'd rather go to your dumb math conference over celebrating our relationship?" I closed my eyes and sighed. I nodded slowly.

"Why celebrate?"

"Because you and I can look back and see how far we've come together. No two months isn't a long time, but every time we have our anniversary, each time will be more special than the last. Kendall, two months ago, I never thought I would date someone like you, now look where we are." I guess that could be a reason to celebrate, but two months isn't a long time to me. We should start celebrating on our five month anniversary or something if we wanna look how far we've come.

"Sure, we can celebrate anniversaries, but I'm not doing it at two months, how about five?" She chuckled, but it wasn't a good chuckle, it was a 'I am so pissed at you right now' chuckle.

"We can celebrate at five? All those other months that we've been through mean nothing?" I sighed.

"I mean, two months, we haven't really been through anything together just yet." I looked at my watch. "Katelyn, I have to go. I'll call you later when you've cooled down." I grabbed my books and walked passed her to my car.

"Don't bother." I stopped in my tracks and turned around. "Don't bother calling, if you don't think that we should celebrate our relationship, why should we have one?" She started walking back to her house. I caught up to her and got in front of her.

"Don't you say that, don't you dare say that. You know I wanna be with you, more than anything in this world. You know that, don't be so damn difficult about it. I never said we couldn't celebrate, I said let's wait until we've been together longer because two months of being together, isn't shit compared to us being together for five." A tear rolled down her cheek. I closed my eyes and shook my head.

"Of course, two months is a short amount of time to five months, but I cherish every moment I am with you Kendall because tomorrow is not promised! What if something happens to me or you or the both of us?! Even though we were together, we never officially celebrated our relationship!" She was hurt and pissed at the same time. I grabbed her hands, she pulled them away. I shook my head.

"I love every moment that I am with you Katelyn..."

"So you don't wanna celebrate those moments that we've had in our measly two months, as you call it.The day we celebrate our anniversary is a very special moment, out of all those other moments we've had in the month. It's the day we got together." She shook her head in disbelief. I had to get going though, my relationship with Katelyn meant the world to me, but I just didn't see the need to celebrate right now.

"I'm going." Those two words just might've ended my relationship.
