What We Got Cooking in The Kitchen(Trixya)

Chapter 20:Don't Have To

Trixie's POV

"You didn't have to invite me Katya."

"Well, I didn't. Adore did."

"You know what I mean." I slipped my shorts on and sat on Katya's bed.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, well I don't know."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. I just.. I guess it came out of no where."

"Babe, you don't have to go."

"Yeah, but you want me to. Right?"

"Well yeah of course, but I don't want you to feel weird or anything."

"I'll be ok." Katya sat beside me and grabbed my hand.

"I'll be with you so of course."

Once the girls and I got to the farmer's market, Violet and Adore went off on their own. Katya and I walked around, looking at different booths. Katya pulled me to a booth that looked as if it was owned by a witch. I'm pretty sure it was. Katya picked up a black and blue necklace with a smile. "Trixie, isn't this cute?"

"For you, yes it is." Katya looked at more things while I walked around, not really interested. She decided on a few different pieces of jewelry for herself and a bracelet for me. Katya and I walked around more, just enjoying each other's company. "Thanks for the bracelet Katya. I really like it."

"Well, it was the only thing that fit your personality."

"Whatever." I smiled as I played with the tiny sliver bracelet.

"Hey Trixie, can we talk about something?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"I've been thinking."

"About?"

"Well, us I guess."

"Okay?"

"Are you happy with Stevie?"

"You know I'm not."

"Then why not dump him and make us official?"

"Wait, what?" Katya looked at me, her eyes piercing into mine. "Katya, I can't do that."

"Why?"

"Because Kat, I have to marry him."

"You don't have to, you're choosing to. Why not just leave him?"

"Where would I go?"

"You could move in with me." I stopped walking, trying to figure out what to say.

"Katya.."

"Trixie, you can stay with me." Katya took my hands in hers and looked down at them. "I want you to be happy Trixie, don't I make you happy?"

"Well..yeah, but.."

"But what?"

"Katya, can we talk about this some other time? We should go find the girls."

"But.."

"Katya, just drop it okay?"

"O..kay."

"Katya, Trixie!" Katya and I turned around to see Violet and Adore walking towards us.

"Where did you guys go?" I smiled weakly at Adore.

"Adore saw a food truck that she wanted to try, and that one turned into ten."

"Oh shut up."

"At least you had fun."

"What have you two been doing?"

"Just walking around from booth to booth."

"Find anything nice?"

"Katya got me this bracelet."

"That's cute. Good job picking it Katya."

"Yeah, sure." Violet looked at Katya, trying to read her.

"Can we go, I'm hungry."

"How the fuck are you hungry Adore?"

"Shut up Violet."

"Whatever, let's just go."

"Come on Katya." I grabbed Katya's hand and tried to pull her along. Katya refused to move. "Katya?"

"Let me go."

"What?" Katya snatched her hand away from me and walked past me to catch up with Violet and Adore.

Katya basically avoided me the rest of the day. When we all went to get lunch, she sat on the other side of the table with Violet. Katya barley talked to me the rest of the time we were together. "Today was so fun." Adore smiled as we all sat on Katya's sofa.

"Adore, why do you talk like you are still some kid?"

"Shut up Violet, you're always picking on me."

"It's what I do best."

"So, are you saying you didn't have fun today Vi?"

"Eh, it was ok. What about Trixie, did you have fun?"

"Yeah, I did. I'm so used to sitting at home now and just doing nothing."

"That must suck."

"It most certainly does."

"Well, at least you have Katya. She is a great friend to have if you don't wanna be bored all the time."

"Yeah.." I took a sip of my wine as I looked down.

"I should get going. Bianca hates when I come in too late."

"Awe your mommy wants you home?"

"She's my girlfriend, not my mom."

"You could have fooled me." Adore groaned and threw a pillow at Violet, hitting her square in the face. Katya stood up, taking the empty glasses and bowls that held popcorn and chips.

"I'll help you Katya."

"Ok." I grabbed one of the bowls and two of the glasses. I walked behind Katya into the kitchen.

"I had fun today."

"Cool."

"Thanks for inviting me."

"Adore did."

"I guess.." Katya started to wash dishes, not talking or looking at me. "Um, do you want me to stay the night?"

"No."

"Are you sure? Because I could go home, get some stuff, and come back?"

"No, I'm good. You can go home to Stevie."

"Katya.."

"I said no."

"Okay..."

"Katya, we're leaving."

"Okay girls, I'll see you later." Katya looked at me, no emotion showing on her face. "You should go ahead and go too. I got this."

"Um are you sure?"

"Yeah, goodnight."

"Well, bye I guess." I sighed and walked out of the kitchen. After grabbing my bag, I walked out to my car with Violet and Adore. "I'll see you guys later."

"Sure thing Trixie." Adore and Violet waved at me and got into Violet's car. I got in my car and started it up. I drove in silence, not wanting to hear anything but the sound of my inner thoughts.

"Shit." I pulled into the side of the road, my eyesight blurry from my tears. I grabbed my phone and dialed Shea's number.

"Hello?"

"Shea..can I talk to you?"

"Sure babe."
