What Happens In A Small Town

Chapter Sixteen

K E L S E Y

Before I even get a chance to answer her my phone rings and of course it's Amber, Kasey probably told her what was going on and I already know that she's going to say the same thing that everyone else is saying. I swear that woman has been rooting for us since she found out he wasn't over me jeez you'd think with dating him herself she'd hate me for being the reason they didn't work but no.

"Hello"

I can hear the excitement in her voice "Hey Kels so Kasey called and told me what happened" I roll my eyes, see told you "of course she did"

Amber sighs "I get your reservation Kelsey, I do probably better than most others besides you of course because I was there for a little while after you left I saw what it did to him but that man is still crazy about you... If tonight is anything to go by. Kasey told me about the song too you gotta admit that that was pretty sweet."

I bite my lip... it's nervous habit "I know it was really sweet... And god am I glad it wasn't You Promised... My self-control would have been out the damn window with that one"

I hear the understanding in her voice "you wouldn't have been able to run from that one"

"No, I wouldn't have had the strength to, the way that song gets to me just damn"

"Oh sweetie I know God how many times have I came in to hear you listening to that song with tears streaming down your face and when I try to cut it off you threaten to shoot me"

I can't help but chuckle slightly at that "Because no matter how much it affects me I love that damn song"

"Talk to him Kels!!! That is what I originally called to say!" 

I roll my eyes "God I knew the minute I saw it was you... That you talked to Kasey and were going to say the same thing that everyone else is saying"

I hear her sigh "Kelsey Nicole Reed, you stubborn ass woman... Listen to us then, I know you want to and I know you're scared, but Kels you can't let your fears control you"

I let out a grain of frustration "Ugh there is no way I am going to win here" 

"No sweetie your not so just stop fighting it"

I roll my eyes "okay fineeeee, you win this is me giving in"

Amber grins I can hear it in her voice "okay well I'll let you go so you can talk to B, but tell me how it goes" 

I roll my eyes "yeah sure, you know I will"

I hang up the phone and Lina looks at me "okay who are you and what have you done to Kelsey? You gave in way to easy to whoever that was" 

I chuckle looking at her "yeah well I realized I'm not going to win here, not with Kasey, the two of you and her on me about four of the most stubborn people besides myself that I've ever met that and I swear that woman has been rooting for us for a long ass time"

Lina grins "well alright let's do this before you change your mind" Laur smiles "I'll grab Thomas and send BG back here and we will give you guys some space to talk and not be overheard"

I smile at them "Thanks guys" they both walk out of the room and I blow out a breath. Come on Kels you can do this.

Alright, guys, it's about to happen the talk that has been dreaded since the start. This was a bit of a filler chapter just to get to the talk.
