FAVOR. (KitEn FanFic)

Chapter 3: Confession.

My mind went all blank when I've read his message saying that he’s missing me but I know that I should sacrifice for my best friend. I didn’t reply on his text message. I needed to control my feelings. He was my best friend’s ex boyfriend. It was a big no for us to be together. Then, I received a text message again from Kit saying:

“Karen, will you please reply? I want to talk to you. I want to hear your voice. Please Karen? I’m begging you!”

My heart beated so fast during that time. I felt like a very important person. For the very first time, someone made me feel so important, but I had to ignore him. I had to ignore his messages. It was for our own good.

August 28, 2009, I woke up 6am and prepared my things for school. I looked at my cell phone and found out that he had called me 30 times and messaged me 46 times! I was like, so flattered. “Am I really that important?” I said to myself.

After preparing, I quickly went to school to avoid being late. But then again, I was late.

It was our break time, I was about to go to our classroom when he ran towards me and asked me if we could talk.

“Can you please answer my call later? I have something very important to say,” He said. “Okay then,” I replied.

I went home early so I could rest for a while. The phone rang. I answered it.

“Hello! Who’s this?” I said.

“This is me, Vincent,” He said.

“Oh, it’s you. What are you going to say?” I said.

“I guess you’re not interested,” he said.

“No! Spill it out! Come on! Tell me!” I said.

“I guess I have to say it in personal. Can we go out? Let’s talk about it in a café, my treat,” He said.

I was thinking if I was going to go or not. Then I remembered that I was going to tell him. That  I won't talk to him anymore because Myrtle was jealous.

“Okay. Fetch me here at home,” I replied.

“Wait for me okay? I’ll be there in a second,” He said.

I dressed myself and practiced what I was going to say. Then the doorbell rang. “Ding dong!” I quickly opened the door and told him to ask permission to my mom if we could drink coffee outside. He went to my mom and introduced himself.

“Good afternoon auntie, I’m Kit Thompson. I’m Karen’s friend. May I ask for your permission if we could drink a coffee outside?” he asked. My mom allowed us to go out.

I felt nervous. My hands were almost shaking. My hands were already cold because of my nervousness. He called a cab and opened the door for me. While we were inside the cab, I felt weird. It was so awkward having my best friend’s ex with me inside a cab.

We finally arrived at the coffee shop. He opened the door for me and paid the cab. Again, I was anxious. I was worried if things would work out perfectly or wouldl it be the way I wanted it to be.

“Karen, I have something to tell you. I can’t hide it anymore,” He said.

“What is it?” I replied.

“I LOVE YOU. I think I’m falling for you Karen. I know this is wrong but this is what I feel. Will you let me love you?” he said.

I was shocked. I don’t know what to say, I can’t even utter a single word.

“Karen? Will you?” He asked.

“I don’t know. It seems it is not right” I answered.

“Why? Is it because of Myrtle? I know that she is your best friend, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t love you. We both know that OUR world doesn’t revolve on her.” He said.

“Yes, I know! But I think things are happening too fast.” I said

“I don’t care, time doesn’t count!” He said.

“If you don’t care, well I do!” I shouted and left him.

After that conversation, things went so complicated. My heart was filled with guilt, thinking that it was my entire fault having Kit fall for me. Thinking that without me having to reply to his messages, we won’t reach this far.

I had this guilt in me. And that guilt was torturing me; especially whenever I see Myrtle. Showing her my smile even though I was secreting her everything made me feel that I was being unfaithful to her. I know she would be very mad if she would know about this. Well, I thought I was just going to tell her next time after I fix this mess, or could I?
