The Babysitter

Chapter 14

•Kaitlyn's POV•

He started leaning in and so did I ...

Then we stopped. We were inches away from each other. Centimeters. So close I could hear his heart beat. We just stared at each other waiting for the other to make the move.
"You know, just because I put up that whole 'I don't give a shit about anything' act ... doesn't mean I don't care about people. Or have feelings. Feelings that sometimes I just can't get out of my head. Feelings that consume me 24/7. Feelings that I don't want to have but I do. And I just want you to know that what I'm about to do is to know if these feelings are real or-" I cut him off. Each second that went by I got more and more eager. So I kissed him. Ya that's right I kissed Joey Birlem. Sue me.
His lips were so soft and gentle. It was like kissing a cloud. And I know this sounds cliche but I felt sparks. Real sparks. Not just the kind you feel when you have your first kiss or when you hug someone you like. It was like fireworks going off on my lips.
He lightly put his hand under my chin and kissed back. We pulled away and looked at each other. The both of us smiled and laughed lightly.
"Couldn't wait huh?" He smirked.
"Guess I couldn't" I joked.
I don't know where that came from honestly. All of the other guys I was into, or had some type of intimate relationship with weren't like Joey at all. They were all lovey dovey only wanted to kiss, and hug, and cuddle and that's cute ... for the first 2-3 months. But after that it just gets annoying. What I want is a guy who can be sweet and cuddly at times but also my best friend. A best friend whose sarcastic but not in situations where my feelings get hurt. Or I can take shopping and also where he wouldn't complain with how long I take to get ready when we go out for a date. Does that make sense? I don't know. Maybe I'm just crazy but that's how I feel. That's my dream guy.
"Whatcha thinking about" Joey asked.
I noticed he was now at the edge of the pool ready to get out. I swam over and got out too. A cool breeze came by and gave me goosebumps. Today wasn't hot but it wasn't cool either. Joey got towels out from the little cabinet next to the grill and wrapped one around me. I gave him a small smile and thanked him.
After we dried off we went inside. I went to my room and changed when I realized Joey doesn't have any clothes. After changing I went back downstairs to see if Joey wanted to go to his house to get some clothes.
"Hey Josephhhhh"
He groaned from the name I just called him.
"Yessssss Kaitlyn Bacon" he answered.
"Ew stop never do that again" I said.
He just laughed and I continued.
"Do you want to go back to your house for some clothes?" I asked.
"Oh ya sure" he answered.

- At his house -

As we walked through the door Joeys little sister, Sophia, came walking around the corner from their kitchen.
"Oh heyyyy Kaitlyn" she smiled.
I waved and smiled as we walked into the living room.
"Really? No hey Joey? Nothing?" He asked.
"Nope. Anyways how's it going Kaitlyn?" She asked. I was about to answer when Joey beat me to it.
"Wow well I'm going to get changed" Joey fake scoffed and walked out of the room.
A couple seconds later he walked back into the room.
"I forgot something" he said.
"What?" Sophia and I asked. He didn't reply all he did was pick me up and throw me over my shoulder ... again.
"You gotta stop doing this" I laughed.
"One day you're going to drop me on my head and give me a concussion. Then I'm going to miss school which can lead to me failing my final exams which can then lead to me never getting in college and then when I turn 35 I'm going to be kicked out of my house and then I'll be homeless and dying of starvation, do you really want me to die of starvation Joseph?" I rambled. He just ignored me and said,
"You know what I noticed?"
"What?" I asked.
"You haven't said one bad thing to me yet today" he answered.
"Oh right ... asshole. Better?" I asked.
"Well I didn't mean you had too" he groaned.
"Well then don't bring it up Jojo"
"Jojo?" He questioned.
"Yup it's my new nickname for you" I replied.
"I like it ... I also like my view from here" he replied. I could practically feel his smirk growing on his face each second that went by.
"Ugh you're such a loser" I said.
By now we were practically walking around his room with me draped over his shoulder.
"Um Joey you think you can let me down now I can feel all of the blood rushing to my head" I laughed.
"Oh yeah right" he answered.
He lightly threw me on his bed, got his clothes, and went into the bathroom to get changed.
I was chilling on my phone scrolling through Snapchat when my eyes were starting to feel heavy. I shut my phone off and closed my eyes. Right when I was about to fall asleep I felt a blanket cover me and an arm wrap around my waist.
"Sweet dreams princess" was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep.
