Truculent Too [girlxgirl]

Chapter 16: Missed Ya

"Kaidee!", Beck, Sam, Julieta and I are sitting at the lunch table and all turn to see the person who called my name.

I see frosty blue eyes and immediately stand, "Hailey."

"Can I talk to you for a moment?", she bites her lip.

"No you cannot talk to my girlfriend alone.", Julieta stands, "Who the hell are you anyways?"

Hailey glares at Julieta, "Listen, I don't give a rat's ass whether you're the new chick trying to get into Kaidee's pants. Shut the fuck up and let me talk to my best friend!", she snaps.

Julieta steps forward into Hailey's face, "Do you know who I am, bitch?"

I pull Julieta back, "Hailey stop. You can't just come over here and yell at my fucking girlfriend. What are you doing here anyways? Didn't you say that you never want to see a monster like me again? Why don't you go back to where you belong?"

Hailey stares at me in shock and I regret everything when I see a single tear slip down her face. She turns to leave without saying anything. I watch her retreating figure. Come back. I didn't mean it. Hailey I didn't mean any of it. Please come back to me. My heart feel like it weighs a ton and it hurts.

"Kaideen.", I look back to Julieta whose sitting down again.

I sit back down also, "Sorry about that. That's the ex best friend I was telling you about."

"Oh well no wonder she's an ex bestfriend. She's a bitch.", Julieta bites.

"Don't.", I say before thinking it.

"What?"

"Uh I gotta go guys.", Sam stands, "Em's feeling a little down."

"Well fuck third wheeling. I'm out.", Beck gets up and leaves.

I groan and drop my head in my hands.

"Baby?", Julieta says, "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I've just got one hell of a headache. I think I'll go home straight after school today."

"Aww well I have some work to do tomorrow. Descendant stuff. So I'll see you Friday?", the bell sounds.

"Yep.", she gives me a peck on the lips and leaves.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I go home and I'm able to distract myself from the complicated thoughts that are trying to overtake my mind. Mom and Mama get home a little later and I have dinner and discuss my day with them as usual. Then, finally I have the time to go to bed.

I drop onto my bed like a rag doll. I was such an asshole today. I don't know what's wrong with me. It's like my words don't come out the way that they're supposed to when she's around. I miss her so much. There's a lump in my throat and I find myself about to cry. 

Then there's a tap. A small noise but increasingly more alarming when it continues. I jump out of my bed and open the shades.

"Hailey?", I'm flabbergasted.

She waves and smiles.

I turn away and look my room over. In all these years she's never been in my room. No one has. As a matter of fact, no one besides Hailey has even been over to my house. The room looks...presentable.

I open the window, "Jeez", she says as she climbs inside, "I thought I was going to freeze out there waiting f-"

The moment she's made it inside I pull her close. I breath in her scent that I've missed so much and sigh out her name. It's like I'm breathing oxygen for the first time in years. I pull her back until I reach my bed and sit her on my lap so that I can hold her closer. That's when I notice that she's...crying?

"Hailey? Hailey what's wrong?", I ask, now terrified. Did I do something bad again?

"Nothing I just... I missed you so much Kaidee.", she snuggles closer.

"I missed you too Hailey. I missed you so much that I could die. I'm so sorry for bullying your friend and yelling at you and not coming to you to apologize. I'm such a coward. I should've apologized immediately. Or even in the bathroom that day when I saw you but I just couldn't say anything. I'm such a coward.", the lump in my throat returns.

"No. Don't worry about any of that stuff. I don't care. I don't care about any of it. I've been thinking and I don't care what you are Kaidee. A monster, a bully, a player. It doesn't matter because you'll always be Kaidee. And I..."

"Hmm?", I sniffle.

"...I-I want to stay by your side regardless.", she grips me tighter.

"Haileeeey", I can't hold back my tears any longer and just let them fall.

After we both finish our tear filled reunion we're just laying cuddled together in my bed. Listening to each other's breathing. Hailey laces her fingers in mine. My eyelids are heavy and Hailey's so soft and warm.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I open my eyes and the first thing I see is Hailey's beautiful black hair. My fingers are still intertwined with her's. I stare at her as she sleeps. I wish...we could stay like this forever. I wish I could wake up with Hailey in my arms forever.

After a while Hailey stirs. She breathes in deeply and sighs, "I'm sorry I slapped you", she mumbles.

I laugh, "I deserved it."

Hailey's eyes open wide and she abruptly sits up. She looks around my room and then back down at me. "Kaidee?"

"Yeah?"

She lays back down, "Am I awake?"

I laugh, "Yeah."

"Prove it."

"Haha how?"

"Kiss me."

My heart nearly jumps out of my chest. Is she serious? I look down at her pink lips and suddenly I feel like I want to. I lace my hand into her hair and pull her a little closer. Just before out lips touch Hailey jumps up again and hits me in the head with a pillow.

"NOT DREAMING!", she yells and giggles at me, "Kaidee your hair's sticking up. It looks so funny."

"You little...", I grab a pillow and swing at her but she dodges. She jumps out of bed and so so do I.

She swings at my face again but I put up my arm and I block it. I smirk just before another pillow connects with my face. When did she get a second pillow?!

"Ah my eye", I turn and sit on my bed rubbing my eyes. I hear Hailey come closer and drop the pillows on my bed.

"Sorry Kaidee. Let me-."

"Just kidding!", I pick her up and slam her down on the bed.

"Ah! You cheat!", she exclaims.

"Haha! You cheated too with that second pillow!"

"No way.", she pants.

I hadn't realized it at first but we're in a pretty suggestive position right now. I watch as she pants. Her clothes are disheveled and so I see some of her midriff. I wonder what it would be like to make her mine. If I took her right here and now. Watching her body contort underneath me. Hearing her moan in ecstasy. Her face covered in sweat. Making her completely lose herself to me.

"You're poking me?", she says but it's like a question.

"Huh?", I snap back to reality.

"I mean both of your hands are next to me but...", she blushes, "...um."

I jump up in realization, "Oh my god.", I turn away from her so that she doesn't see little me through my shorts.

"Sorry Hailey.", I feel so embarrassed that I could die.

"It's okay. How about I go make some breakfast and we pretend like that bit didn't happen?"

"Yeah.", I nod, still facing away from her.

She exits the room and I sigh in relief. I check the damage. Fuck. I'm harder than a rock. I groan.
