Lost In My Imperfections

Chapter 12 - Anyone Up For A Late Night Swim?

I stood outside the glamorous restaurant in awe. I had never been somewhere so..so..Majestic. "It's beautiful" I mumble softly. What I hadn't realized whilst looking at the majestic restaurant was the fact that Kyle no longer stood next to me. I looked around frantically for him but I couldn't find him anywhere. Relief suddenly flooded through me as I felt Kyle's arms snake around my waist. "We aren't coming here" He mumbled into my shoulder , my mouth forming a 'o' shape as realization swept over me. Kyle let go of my waist an placed his hand into mine instead , dragging me down a path way that led to a small park at the rivers edge. Their sat a lovely looking picnic with candles and a single rose by a wine glass. " We can't drink" I say placing a hand on my chest dramatically. " It's cranberry juice. So don't worry" Kyle whispered in my ear before kissing my cheek and sitting down on the opposite side of the blanket.

We were eating spaghetti and meatballs. We ate quietly , until I broke the silence. "This is beautiful Kyle. Thank you" I said giving him a lopsided smile. " Well I do like to please my dates" He replied a sparkle in his eye. I didn't know if I cared about Kyle the way he wanted me too. I mean I could always try to care for him that way but It was hard when Josh was the only thing on my mind. Even whilst I was eating this gorgeous dinner in front of the water with Kyle , Josh was the only one I seemed to think about. " What's on your mind Princess?" He asked concern written in his voice. Before I could reply though I felt a soft hand on my arm , looking up to find a hateful glare aimed at me. Their stood in front of me was a bleach blonde barbie girl holding my arm with a deathly grip. Kyle looked as if he was about to stand up and knock the shit out of her but before he could do anything she dragged me to the waters edge. I was about to scream out but It was too late. I now sat under the water , trying to swim up to breath. Unfortunatly I was never the best of swimmers. Soon enough I began to tire but I felt the water move around me until two warm arms wrapped around my waist. Kyle. I was suddenly on the bank , sopping wet. Kyle panting beside me. " Ha! Atleast now you don't smell like a fish!" The girl called out walking away.

I didn't know If I wanted to cry , scream or just crawl into a hole an die. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder. I lent into Kyles embrace. I couldn't cry. I didn't know why but I literally couldn't cry. I stood up after a moment , looking down at Kyle's glum looking face. " Can..we um leave" I say looking down at my soaked dress. He gave a curt nod before packing the stuff up as I walked towards his car. I stood outside the passenger door , waiting for him to come. I heard the car beep , telling me that it was unlocked before slipping into the car swiftly.

The car ride home was quiet. Nobody wanted to say anything because what was their to talk about really. The fact that some barbie look alike came and destroyed her perfect night and said she smelt like fish? Yeah that would be a smooth conversation.

We arrived out the front of Kyle's house. I didn't wait for him as I rushed into the house. Making my way upstairs for a very needed shower. I stunk of river water. When I stepped out , I wrapped a clean white towl tightly around my body. Stepping into my room , I noticed that their was a boque of roses on my bed with a little card attached. The card read , 'I'm sorry the night didn't go as planned. I really would have liked to have made you feel like the only girl in the world but apparently Casey hadn't gotten over the fact I didn't like her. So once again I am sorry that, that bleach blonde bimbo had to ruin something between us.' I had thought the girl looked rather familiar. I smiled softly before getting changed into a crisp white singlet and a pair of zebra shorts before jogging down the stairs , into the lounge room. Kyle sat lounged out across the leather black couch , watching AHS Freakshow. He was on the 3rd episode. I hadn't seen any of this season but It looked good.

I was tempted to go and cuddle up to Kyle. Like they did in the movies , but I didn't think he'd be comfortable about it. Well atleast that's what I thought. I went to move to the other couch when an arm gripped my waist , pulling me into their embrace. I now lay on top on of him , leaning up on my elbows. His face being so close to mine caused my heart to pound in my chest. I saw him lean in , I was afraid I didn't know what to do. Then without realizing it I had turned my head , Kyles lips pressing to my cheek. When he pulled away he looked a bit hurt but covered it quickly giving me a lopsided smile which I returned. We stayed like that for awhile apart from the occasional shift of position. Kyle now lay behind me with his arm lazily around my waist. Eventually Kyle dosed off , following not to long after I did too....

****(XOX)****

I woke up with cold tiles pressing against my face. I sat up a screamed before looking around. I was in Kyle's kitchen. I let out a sigh of relief before standing up. " Kyle! Why was I on the floor?!" I called out. Kyle stepped out from behind the door. " I dragged you there to see your reaction?" He said rubbing the back of his neck giving me a sheepish smile. I raised an eyebrow before grabbing a pancake that was stacked with strawberries and whipped cream. Shoving it into my mouth before rushing up the stairs. I had school tomorrow and I had to go back to Josh's tonight. So today Kyle was taking me out to the mall to buy some new clothes. I despereatly needed some new stuff. Plus Ghost Town had some new merch out which would be good to have a look at.

I had already packed my duffel bag , carrying it down the stairs and placing it on the stool in front of the bench. I felt a sense of dejavu before brushing it off my mind. Kyle had already gotten ready before hand and was now leaning on the bench , swinging his car keys in his hand. " Ready to go sweetcheeks?" He said smirking slightly , before gesturing to the door. " Yep" I replied popping the 'p' before chucking my duffel bag at him , exiting the house. I jumped into his car , my hair blowing into my face. Kyle chuckled at me as I tried to fend off the wandering hairs that tried to invade my mouth. Eventually I gave up and just put the window up with Kyle looking at me as if I was insane. " Dude! It's like 30 degree weather! You can't just have your window up in this heat!" He complained. " Calm yo tits. I can do what I want" I reply smirking at him , his face was mortified.

Today would be fun. I swear though. If another bleach blonde barbie bitch comes along and tries to stomp on my happiness I will, and I'm not kidding. Beat the shit out of her........
