My Friends Know Me Best

Chapter:16

The six and I got to the house early. I almost have every room painted the color I wanted it to be. The master is a really light tan color making the room seem bigger than it really is.

They had big horns' head stuffed and we decided to put it over the stone fireplace. I'll be bringing the rack with me when I come back for spring break.

I grabbed a paint can and went back to the master bedroom. I've got two and a half weeks left with them. Yesterday they left for state and I'm left by myself. I wanted to go but knew they'd be back tomorrow.

I sat down on the master bathroom counter painting above the vintage mirror that we restored. Once that little part was done I painted around the counter and cabinets.

Once I was done I went to the closet. I painted the closet and did touch ups. Then moved to the hall. I grabbed the paint can for the living room and painted the hall the same color.

Mrs. Cale called and asked when I wanted supper and I told her when I got home. She okayed it and I got back to work.

Once I saw the sun was going down I closed the paint can and closed up the house. Mr. Nowern pulled up as I locked the door. "How's it looking?" He asked.

"A dozen times better than when we started." I told him. "I haven't seen those boys for little bit did you get rid of them?" He asked. "They had state finals to go to." I told him.

"Well I'll let you go home so you can get some sleep." He said before backing up and leaving. I got into my truck and drove home. Once I got there I grabbed some leftovers and got a shower before getting into bed and curling up with his pillow.

How he sleeps on a rock hard pillow is beyond me. The best part is it smells just like him. My phone went off just as I was about to fall asleep.

"Hello."
"Hey how was your day?" Kade asked.
"Good. I got the hall, master bath, and the master closet done today. How'd the game go?" I asked.
"We could have done better. But I'm not going to complain because we won all the games today!" He almost shouted.

"Oh my gosh that's awesome!" I shouted forgetting that his parents and brother could be sleeping. I quickly remembered and covered my mouth before giggling.

He chuckled for a second. "What happened?" He asked playfully.
"I forgot your parents and brother were already asleep." I told him still giggling.
"Shame cracker, shame." He said almost laughing.
"I can't wait for you to be snuggled up beside me. I have to settle for a pillow. A pillow!" I complained.

"I'll be home late tomorrow night. But I guarantee you'll wake up in my arms." He said.
"I can't wait." I told him.
"Might wanna get some sleep cracker. I'll try and call tomorrow." He said.
"Ok good night."
"Night cracker sleep tight, dream of me." I giggled before he hung up.

I plugged my phone in and curled up to his pillow before falling asleep and actually dreaming about him.

I walked across the little length of the football field to my diploma. I shook hands with the principal and district advisors for the school before returning to my seat. Kade winked at me as I passed him.

I sat back down in my seat waiting for it to be over. Once it was we tossed up our caps and Kade brought me to a clearing in the crowd. People around looked at us wondering what we were doing.

"Kasey you know that I love you and have since we were basically in diapers. We've come a long way since then. Life has been a crazy ride but it's been fun. Would you?" He knelt down.
