Katy's P.O.V.
I woke up on the couch in the middle of the night. Rih wasn't there. I figured that she went to sleep upstairs. I went upstairs to sleep there with her. She wasn't here either and her bag was gone from the bed. I started panicking a bit, so I looked outside and her car was gone. It was about 3:53am I called her phone.
K:"Rih?"
R:"Who is this?"
K:"It's Katy. Where are you, I'm so worried."
R:"You're such a child."
K: "What"
R:"I'm at my house., weirdo"
K:"I thought you were staying here."
R:"I changed my mind."
K:"What? Why?"
R:"Because you're hideous without makeup, you snore and kick in your sleep, and you're such a baby that you probably wet the bed."
K:"Did I do something wrong?" I started to cry
R:"Oh my God! Katy, let me sleep."
K:"I don't understand..."
R:"Don't call me. Or text me. Or talk to me at all."
K: "Ri-"
She hung up.
I just laid on the floor and was or started crying. Curled up in a pathetic ball of sadness.
I shot up panting and sobbing. Which immediately made Rih do the same.
"Baby, what's wrong?" She asked holding me.
"I- I had a n-nightmare that you l-left me!"
"I would never. Just come lay with me." She pulled us down closer to the bed and I cried into her chest.
"I guess that explains the kicking in your sleep."
"I ACTUALLY kick in my sleep?"
"Only light kicking."
"I dreamt that was one of the reasons you left me."
"You want to talk about it?"
"No, please."
"Okay." She starts caressing my back.
I look at the time: 3:57am.
"Do I snore?" I ask.
"Yes, but it's adorable."
"Really?"
"Yes, now please: let me sleep."
I don't say anything else because I don't want her upset at me like in the dream. She's already said three things that happened in it. So I just closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
I woke up when Rih kissed me on the forehead.
"Good morning, beautiful." She said to me.
"Good morning!"
"I made you breakfast."
"Really?"
"Yeah, it's downstairs. Come get it before it gets cold." She gave me a peck on the lips and walked out of the room.
I stay for about 10 seconds just smiling and think about her. Then I hop out of bed and follow her downstairs. There were scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes and orange juice. God, I love this girl.
I sat down at the table. Robyn came with a vase that had flowers in it and put it on the table. I stared at the vase for a while. It was the flowers that John gave me the night after Rih said she loved me.
"What's wrong you don't like the flowers?"
"No. I love them." I squinted my eyes as I realized that they still looked as fresh as the day John brought them.
"I've been watering fake flowers..." I half- whispered.
"What?" Rih asked.
"Nothing... Let's just eat."
"Okay, weirdo."
I recognized "weirdo" from that nightmare. I looked down at my food and started eating, really slowly. I didn't want "fat" to be added to the list of reasons why she should hate me.
"Katy, you've barely touched your food. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"You're not hungry?"
"No, that's not it."
"Is it that nightmare you had?"
I slowly nod my head.
"I told you that I would never leave you like that." She says, taking my hand.
"I want to believe that, but I've been hurt too many times."
"Katy, look into my eyes." I look up at her.
"I'm not like your exes." She says. "I'm not gonna be abusive like Travie, or a coward like Russel, or cheat on you like John..."
My lips started to curl up.
"..and most importantly: I don't have a dick."
I couldn't help but smile.
"There's that beautiful smile I love so much!"
I bowed my head slightly, blushing.
Rih tilted my chin with her fingers and then leaned over the table to kiss me. A short one, but still passionate.
"Thank you." I say.
"For?..."
"The kiss, the breakfast, making me feel better. Everything."
"It's my job..." She says sitting down. "...as your gir-" She stops herself from saying 'girlfriend'. Then quickly looks down sat her food. She's blushing. The loving side of me wanted to get up, kiss her roughly, and say "My girlfriend." Which would eventually lead sex. But the logical side of me just told me to put my head down and not say anything. Just do what Rih did. Lower your head and eat food.
So that's what hat I did.
