Forget Me Not (Klance)

Chapter 4, Her

That was it, crazy as it was, she set it up for Monday, saying her high school friend was going to watch John, getting in my car was exciting, driving over to her house.

It was a small cottage-like eggshell house, tiny enough to fit a mouse in, there were roses and blue forget-me-nots in the front of the house, the house alone seemed empty, lonely.

She was wearing a red dress, her hair down and curled cutely. Her black heels, almost made my cigar drop, what I would give to be in that asshole's shoes, I'd take away all those stupid mistakes. I'd be there, every step of the way, kiss her and tell her she was worth everything. Kathina was worth every dime, second and breath.

"You look amazin'... "
I smiled.

"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself"
She laughed, hushly under her breath.

"No, seriously"
I blushed.

"Stop flattering me"
She rolled her lavender eyes.

"Why not? You obviously worked hard to look like this... "
I rose a brow.

"So? I'm not worth the compliments"
She looked down.

"Don't ever say that again, you are worth everything"
I lifted her chin, her eyes blowing up wide.

"Okay... "
She smiled warmly.

"Here"
I opened the car door, she stepped in.

"Thank you"
She said, I got in the car, starting up the thing.

Her smile was worth a million, as I started driving to the movies, we had small talk, either her cheeks were rouged or she was blushin. The classic red lipstick brought out her soft cheeks and pretty, amazing heart shaped face. The light mascara opening up her eyes.

The movie was a Romantic Comedy, the ones I like the most. Even though Kaithe could play the woman way better, she was incredibly pretty, black oils all over her, or made up like this.

"You're gorgeous"
I whispered in her ear, she jumped.

"Shut up"
She hid her face.

"It's true, look in the mirror"
I hushed, she looked at me like I was insane.

Dates passed, I was falling more and more in love with her, our last date, our 5th one, I told her I wanted for us to be together, she laughed at me like I was joking, so... I let it go, we've gone on 10 dates, and this time.

I took her to a festival, she was in cute little shorts and a white tank top, holding her hand felt nice, but.

There were still walls up...

"Kathina.. "
I said, she turned.

"I told you not to call me by my full name, Kaithe... It's Kaithe "
She angered.

"I wanted to say something important to you, so I used your full name"
I walked next to her.

"What was so important? Huh?"
She looked up at me.

"I love you"
I smiled softly, her eyes were wide.

"No... You don't.. "
She looked down.

"I love you... I mean it"
I cupped her face.

"You don't even know me!"
She tore my hands away.

"I do... "
I snapped.

"Yeah... Sure"
She started walking away.

"You're Kathina Mary Kogane, a single mother with a stupid past, that you regret, you can't learn to love because you don't want to get hurt again, and you're scared, yet you blush, and smile and laugh with me, and you keep saying you can't possibly be loved, but I love you... "
I said, meaning every single word, she stopped, pain struck in her eyes.
