I'm in Love with my Teenage Fan

Chapter Four

A couple weeks later I get a message on Facebook from Kia: Hey, So Jacob, I was just bored and wondering what was up and what not. Um, yeah. Bye! XOXO Kia. :)

I smile and read it a few times. I sit down and pull out a piece of paper. I really want to reply to her, but I want it to be perfect. I think about what I should say. Should I say that I just got home from work? I can't do this by myself.

I pull out my phone and call Mitch. He comes over and says, “What do you want?”

“I need help.”

“With?”

“Kia sent me a message on Facebook. I don't know what to say to her.”

“Be honest with her. Maybe she just wants to be friends.”

“Yeah maybe.”

Mitch doesn't believe me that she hugged me because he has never seen the picture but she did and I can't wait until I see the picture. We hang out for a little while and talk about the band and what we can do to make us better but I am only half listening.

When Mitch leaves I get a call from Kathy. I roll my eyes and say, “Hello darlin,”

“Love when you call me that.” I smile and wait for her to continue. “So I was wondering what your plans are for tonight?”

I sit there for a minute and thinking then I say, “Well nothing honestly.”

“Good because that means that we can hang out. I don't have to work like I thought I did.”

“Cool babe, I'll see ya when you get here.” I quickly hang up and shoot Kia a quick message: Hey Kia, I'm not doing much. Just got home from work. What are you doing? (Sorry you're bored) Jacob.

I wait for either Kia to email me back or for Kathy to walk through the door. Kathy comes before Kia and I shut my computer to smile at her.

Kathy walks over and throws her arms around my neck and kisses me. The kiss is deep and taste just like her. It is so familiar but yet, not familiar enough.

I smile into the kiss and she says, “Glad you still love me.”

“Why wouldn't I?” I ask playing along.

“Because it seems like you are always thinking about that slut.”

“She's not a slut.”

“How do you know?” Kathy asks getting angry. I shouldn't have said that. I knew I was in trouble as soon as the words left my mouth. I take a deep breath and she is waiting for me to answer.

No matter what I say right now, we are going to fight. “I just don't like you being so jealous of some teenager that you have to stoop to calling her names.”

She looks at me and I know she is pissed but I am glad that I said it. She needed to hear it. “Really, Jacob? Jealous?”

“Yeah. It's not like she actually stands a chance with me.”

“She so does, she is the reason for all of our fights.”

I roll my eyes and under my breath mutter, “Maybe that's because you make a big deal out of nothing.”

“What did you just say?”

I look around the room and say, “You know what. You don't trust me, how am I supposed to be okay with that? It is not like I am going to cheat on you, and especially not with a minor.”

She rolls her eyes and lets out a frustrated scream. “You are such a jerk. You just don't get it.”

I walk out of the room. I don't care that we agreed we would never do this, but it needs to be done. I stand outside and let the cool air hit my face. I go back in five minutes later and Kathy is on my computer.
