Kemaline || More Than a Silly Crush

Chapter Sixteen

Kate climbed into the treehouse, and took a seat beside me on the bean bag chair. She grabbed the Tori Amos blanket and put it over us. "What about school? If I have you and a blanket around me, I'm gonna pass out," I said jokingly. "Well before we left, I talked to my dad and asked for the rest of the day off, he said it was cool and he understands, and also hoped that you get better," she said to me with a smile. "Thank you, Now where to begin," I said with a gulp. "Hey whenever you're ready," she said as she grabbed hold of my hand and squeezed it. I nodded my head, and smiled at her. "Well, before me and Oliver started dating, I was going through what I thought was a phase, everyone said to just date him so people didn't suspect anything, but dating him turned into more then dating," I said starting off, beginning to feel tears come to my eyes. I was genuinely afraid of another breakdown, but at least Kate was here to be with me. "What do you mean?" She asked hesitantly, looking worried in her eyes. I couldn't ever lie to her, "He asked me out, we went to a pizza place, simple and then he tried stuff on me, it didn't work, then I told him about my feelings, my feelings for girls, and that's when he, well that's when," I paused and started crying. Everything I've been through since he's left has been a massive step, and telling the story of how he made me hide everything, was an enormous step. My eyes were flowing with tears and Kate immediately brought me into her and held me. "It's okay, I'm here," she whispered to me as she held me lovingly. "Well uh, that's when he became abusive," I breathed out quickly before I felt more tears fell on my face. "Hey, hey, it's okay, I'll get him back," she said, her protectiveness over me being evident. She always wanted to make sure I was okay. Even before we were as close as friends, I always saw it. But me being the bitch I was, I hurt her, made fun of her for something I used to do. "It's basic stuff, beating, making fun of me, emotional abuse, nothing more than that for the first few months, until he was tired of waiting for sexual pleasure, and he for-for," I couldn't continue my sentence, but Kate understood what I was saying. "Hey, I know what you're saying, you don't have to say it," she said to me as she brought me in closer. I was again completely frozen. She could now understand why I was scared of him, why I was with him in the first place. "K-Kate, you never answered why you've been so nice to me," I said taking a gulp, while looking up at her longingly. "Well, um, it's because, I've always liked you, and spite of everything you put me through, which I now understand, I cared, and still care about you," she said truthfully to me. I blushed, I was feeling a bit better after telling Kate what Oliver put me through. "W-Well thank you," I said with a smile. "Are you feeling better?" She asked and I nodded my head upward. She smiled at me and grabbed my hand again.

We lay there in the treehouse, peacefully. All my nerves had calmed down, and I feel relaxed for the first time today. I was pretty sure Kate had fell asleep, but I didn't mind she was cute when she slept. I lay there and waited for her to wake up, I spent the time by looking around and out the windows, and also taking cute little pics of Kate with my polaroid. As I was playing games with some cards I could feel the body next to me move. I smiled, she was waking up. "Hey, good lookin," I said as quiet as possible as her beautiful brown twinkling eyes fluttered open. A smile immediately appearing on hers and my face. "Did you miss me?" I asked as I inches closer to her. "I did," she said softly, her voice a little raspy from no recent hydration. "Do you want some chocolate milk baby?" I asked as she sat up. "That would be nice," she said. "I want to know how you fell asleep and I didn't," I said to her as I rummaged through my bag to find a chocolate milk bottle. After finding it I handed the bottle to her. "You didn't put a secret love potion in here, did you?" She asked jokingly as she grabbed the bottle and then rubbed her eyes slowly, rubbing the sleep away I presume. "I didn't, I wouldn't have to," I said giggling at her cute joke, even though it wasn't that funny. "You're adorable, and no you wouldn't," she said as she pulled me on top of her and kissed me. "And also I have no idea how I fell asleep and you didn't," She said with a chuckle, looking at me lovingly. I smiled, I admired her so much when she looked at me like that. My mind was completely off of Oliver returning and all back on my beautiful incredible girlfriend. "Well you're very cute when you're sleeping," I said as I scooted up more on her lap and cupped her face. I made a kissy face and she gently pressed her lips to mine. "I feel like every time I kiss you, I fall more and more in love with you," I said to her as my eyes were still closed, thinking I was speaking to myself and not out loud. "Well every time I kiss you, I feel as though I'm stronger, I'm happier, and I'm more confident," she said to me with a smile, and I realized what I had said out loud. I started blushing intensely and started giggling as well. "I didn't realize I said that out loud," I said with a chuckle as she moved a strand of my hair out from my face. She smiled, "I know dorkems, but I'm glad you did," she said softly as she gave me the cute and adorable, what I call, Messner-Smile. "Want to do something?" I asked curiously, thinking of something fun to go and do today. "Of course I do, I love doing things with you," she said with a smile placed cheekily on her face. "Let's go then," I said as I stood up and lent out my hand for her to grab. She took it willingly and stood up following me down the treehouse ladder.

We arrived at this drive in, I had heard about. Yes we did in fact drive here, for once. As I began pulling into the new place, Kate's face began to lit up. I didn't know if I should've brought her or not, mainly because I didn't know how she would like it. But I could tell now she loved it. She was glowing frantically, she was looking at all and smiling like an idiot, an adorable idiot. I looked over at her and smiled. She brought her attention to me, and her eyes widened in awe. "You brought me here?" She asked with joy filling her eyes. "Yes, I hope you like it," I said nervously, while she looked at me surprised. "I-I love it," she said with a gasp, taking a breath. My face started to lit up, and I smiled. "I made a good decision then," I said to her as I continued driving into the lot, picking a spot out. "Like this spot?" I asked as I put the car in park. I had just gotten a new truck for high honors for the first quarter, a great present, even though my family doesn't know I'm out with a girl for a date. "I do, thank you so much baby," she said to me as she grabbed my hand and smiled. I began to put the car in reverse and re-parked so the back of the truck was facing the screen of the movie we were seeing. I didn't realize "You Can't Buy Me Love" was on the opposite screen. "We're seeing You Can't Buy Me Love?" She asked as we walked to the back of the car which was already set up for this. "Yes, sweetie, it's a favorite," I said as I brought down the back of the truck and stepped up on it. I kneeled down and gave Kate my hand, she grabbed it and stepped up. We both lay down on the blankets and pillows already placed in the back. "Like it?" I asked as she cuddled up into me, this time switching our usual places around. "I do, a lot," she said as she relaxed into me. "I thought it would be something good to do to get this off both of our minds," I said as I pulled my arm around her. "It is, especially since I'm here with you," She said as she looked up at me with a smile. I smiled back at her. "I'm glad that I'm with you, you know that right?" I asked her as I looked at her. "I do now," She said as she scooted upward and kissed me slowly.

We were half way through the movie, and Kate was cuddled up into me, and looking beautiful as ever. We were sharing a thing of popcorn, and a drink of chocolate milk. Chocolate milk was officially the drink for our relationship. I was just enjoying the time with her, tomorrow was Friday and the end of the week. Next week, Monday and Tuesday we had off due to the freshmen trip, and the upcoming Saturday was the movie premiere. I was excited to see what we had made, and to also spend more time with Kate. I was hoping either later that night, or the next morning Kate and I could go on a trip to California. I had it all planned out in my mind, something romantic, and fun. A nice night out under the stars, another having sex in the car. It was like a description of my current dreams, but in the dreams we were getting married. I smiled foolishly while thinking about it. "Emaline," I could hear Kate talking, well saying my name, which brought me from my thoughts. "Yes?" I asked as I brought my attention to my beautiful girlfriend, my sweetie. "What were you thinking about? You're smiling like everything you've ever wanted in life, is happening," she said as she sat up and threw her arm around me. "Well, it is," I said as I snuggle into her, quickly pecking a kiss on her cheek before I did. She blushed, and I smirked. I never realized until now what strong of an effect I had on her. It was cute and adorable. "I love you, Emaline," she said as she breathed outward and placed a kiss on my forehead. I smiled, thinking of the amazing future to come with Kate, and nothing of the troubles, just the positive stuff. "I love you too," I said as I grabbed her chin and pulled her towards me. I cupped her face, and slowly pulled her to me. I leaned forward slowly, and placed a delicate, thoughtful, peaceful, and sweet innocent kiss. Opening my eyes from it, looking into hers. I smiled, she smiled, and removed a strand of hair from covering my face. "You're so beautiful, how did I get so lucky?" She asked as she leaned in and kissed me softly, and passionate. "I don't know, I think I can ask the same thing to you," I said as I rested my head on her shoulder. Placing my hand into hers, letting our hands intertwine, as it was normal, and common for us. We watched the rest of the movie in this position, and I loved it. The time with Kate, the movie, the sweet little moments we were having. It was, it is perfect.
