Destiny

Chapter Seven

“Come on now, we need to do some 911.” I told Lu and Beth as I waved to the rest of the gang and gave Lu and Beth my helmet and my reserved. They looked at me quizzically and hesitated for a bit but gave in and just hopped in my bike.

I roared to life my bike’s engine and give a curt nod to them and ran my bike to the road smoothly reminding myself that I have two companions and that I will have a war with my mom for disobeying her rules. A few more minutes and unfortunately we finally reached our house and just like what I suspected, my mom was standing in the door ay with her arms crossed in her chest while her foot kept tapping the floor, knowing she’s getting rather impatient, and she looked really mad and upset at the same time. I parked slowly and then hopped out as well as Lucy and Maribeth and gave my mom a knowing smile that it’s their fault and that they need 911, now. My mom sighed and then let us in.

“Now explain Lucy and Maribeth.” My mom demanded when we sat uncomfortably on the couch.

“Mom, it’s my fault, alright? But not now please? I need to counsel this two.” I told her with pleading eyes and kissed her on the cheeks as I let Lu and Beth run to my bed room. I hugged my mom lightly and thanked her before I headed to my room.

            While walking on the way to my bed room, scenes of what happened between him and Kurt had stung her a lot. How could I let him go? I’ve waited for him to feel what I feel so long and now that he does, I just let him go that easily? Why? A voice in my head answered my question and I knew the voice as right.

            “You’ve let him go because you know it’s the right thing to do. You know the one you really love is Kurt and that you just can’t leave Jay with this.” The voice inside my head told me and I was interrupted with my thoughts when I heard Lu talking to someone just beneath my door.

            “Kurt, what did you do to her?” Lu demanded and I already knew they called Kurt to interrogate and before that happens; I swung the door purposely to reveal Kurt standing inside my room and I just gaped at the sight of him. I abruptly closed the door and stomped in front of Lucy.

            “What is he doing here?” I asked Lu and gave Kurt a glare before turning to Beth asking the same question but they didn’t answer me.

            “Lu.” I warned her.

            “He just came here by your window and told us you and he needed to talk.” Beth told softly and dragged Lu to the bathroom, telling us to talk as they changed to their PJ’s. It was an awkward silence after what happened in the bar between him and me.

            “What are you doing here?” I asked to him breaking the silence. I sat down on my bed and waited for his answers.

            “I’m willing to wait no matter how long it takes Kate. Why now? I don’t know. All I know is that I love you; I’ve waited for years to tell you that. I’ve loved you for years and I’m still willing to love you for a lot more years to come. Every day that pass the more that I prove that it’s you that I want to be with all my life, it’s you that I’m willing to take care of forever. Kate, be it the way you want and I’ll wait, keep it in your mind. I love you, and that’s final, forever and always. Forever and always.” Kurt told me as he now is kneeling in front of me with tears in his eyes slowly gliding through his face. He was getting up when I rested my hands on his shoulder to forbid him from getting up and he stayed to his place. I cupped his face with my hands and rested my forehead against his. We were a few inches away from each other and I can feel his breath brushing through my face. My heart quickened its beat and rate as I inhaled his masculine strength yet not too strong for him. And before I knew it, I closed the distance of his face to mine as my lips latched with his. He kissed me softly and slowly I kissed him back. He glided his tongue in my bottom lip requesting for entrance, I opened my mouth and our tongues swayed and danced together as my hands lazed with his hair. I pulled away gasping for air yet with a smile cracking up in my face as well to his. I hugged him fiercely just in the right time when Lucy and Beth walked of the bathroom grinning from ear to ear and I knew they heard Kurt’s proclamation of love to me.

            “Can you really wait? Because I don’t think I can tell this to Jay anytime soon but I will tell him just wait, alright?” I asked him and just withdrew his hand and displayed his pinky finger for a pinky promise. I heard a giggled at the back and Kurt just smiled at their reaction. I shook his pinky with my own then he spoke.

            “I promise I will wait even if it’s forever.” He stated with a smile on his face as he looked straight to my eyes and instantly I knew he was honest and sincere.

            “Well, you should be going, before my mom sees you here and cause me another trouble Kurt.” I said to him as I guided him to my window with my arm on his waist.

            “Ay, ay ma’am! But don’t I get a goodnight kiss?” he said when his body was only half on my room but his face pouting to me and so I can’t resist. I lowered to his level and kissed him softly and he smiled in my lips just before I pull away.

            “Please rest alright? I’m hoping to see you next week when the new semester starts. I love you!” He said and I nodded with a content smile playing in my lips.

            “Same to you Romeo! Now go.” I told to Kurt one last time before I closed the window when he was out of my sight as Lu and Beth appeared to my side, nudging me to tell the whole proclamation thing of Kurt to me. The whole getting silent thing.

            “Not now. We have something to talk about.” I told them and eyed Lu as I take a seat on my bed. Lu sighed and started to talk.

            “I’m sorry Kate. I was so tempted to drink so I said to myself that one glass won’t do a thing to me.” She said with her voice a little bit rough. I pulled her to my bed and both Beth and I comforted her and reassured her hat we forgive her.

            “I forgive you Lu, but certainly you have a reason why you drank, right?” Beth asked her as I continue to comfort her while Lu just stared into nothing.

            “Yes, there is. Recently my dad, Andrew and I, just found out that my mom was getting married again and we received invitation. I mean, how dare she? After she left us, she still has the courage to invite us in her pathetic wedding? And even telling us we had a new baby sister! How gruesome is that? I mean, can she even wait until a year or two? Ugh!” Lu said as she burst out crying the pain she is carrying. Is this really life? Lu and I are almost on the same side while Beth is struggling with her mother dead and her father diagnosed with a cancer she has the worst faith than the three of us, yet we still stay strong for we; Lu, Beth and I promised to each other to never gave up on life that easily for we have each other and that’s been the way it is since then. We lay on my be in a comforting silence until our breathing and heaving of our chest became steady as we slowly drift off to sleep, letting our mind wander to some place where there are no problems.
