We pull back into the drive and Kia says, “I'm sorry that I tricked you into kissing me.”

“Quit apologizing. I promise you that if I didn't want to kiss I wouldn't have.”

Kia looks at me. I can't tell what is going through her mind and it is driving me crazy. I take a deep breath waiting for her to say something. She whispers, “Did you feel anything?”

I nod my head and whisper, “I did.”

She looks at me and then gets out of the truck. I get out too and follow her into the house. I explained to the school board what was going on with her family so we don't have to be careful going into town and what not. I smile at her as I shut the door. She walks closer to me and whispers, “Do you want to kiss me again?”

I nod my head and move my lips a little closer to hers but I stop myself. “I can't. Not when I am still with Kathy.”

“Are you still with her? Because last I heard she won't talk to you?”

I sigh and look at her. She smiles coyly and I know that something is happening between us but I don't know what it is. I feel like we are becoming closer than friends but that we shouldn't. I look at her and whisper, “We are still together. She is just busy with work and so I am.”

Kia rolls her eyes and throws her arms around my neck. “Well,” she whispers “all I know is that I am here and have been. I bet since we first met six months ago that you haven't stopped thinking about me.”

I smile at her and I am not sure what makes me say it but I spit out, “Nope. Try the past two and a half years.”

She looks at me and I can tell she is confused. “Jacob we only met six months ago.”

“Well two and a half years ago we opened up for Josh Turner and you were there with your sister. I saw you and wanted to get to know you, but Mitch talked to me too long then I couldn't find you.”

She smiles at me. “Jacob, would it be crazy if I told you that I have thought about you everyday since then too? Then a year later I saw you again and I kept walking by the stage doing a little bit of flirting making my hips sway back and forth so that you would check out my ass.”

I laugh and think back to that. I know exactly what she is talking about. “Well it worked.”

She laughs too and I move my head down a little bit to where my head is laying on her forehead. She smiles at me and angles her head just right to where we end up kissing. Before I know what is happening I am pushing her against the wall and not wanting to stop kissing her.

Finally I pull away and she smiles at me. “I can't believe we waited this long to do that.”

I smile at her and whisper, “It won't happen again though. I mean I enjoyed it, but I am still dating Kathy.”

“Then break up with her. Jacob I love you, why can't you just accept the fact that you love me too?”

I roll my eyes at her and don't know what else to say. I walk to my bedroom and shut the door behind me. I can't let her think that I am one of those guys that will cheat on my girlfriend and break up with her just because I find someone else that I like more. Even though that is exactly who I am turning out to be, I won't let her be right about me.

I lay down in bed and think about tonight. I met my hero and his band, and made out with the love of my life. I close my eyes and wait for reality to wake me up.

I open my eyes again and it is morning. I look at my alarm clock and see that it is ten o'clock in the morning and I smile, but I am not sure why. I walk out to the kitchen and find Kia and Kathy sitting on the couch watching a movie.

I look at them shocked and Kia winks at me and Kathy says, “I am glad that you are up. We need to talk.”

I walk back to my room and Kathy follows me. “Listen I need to tell you the truth. We should just break up. I know that sounds cold and heartless, but I know you love Kia and so does everyone, but let's face it you aren't as in love with me as you claim to be.”

I look at her shocked. “Of course I am!”

“Okay let me put it this way then. We haven't talked in three weeks.” I nod my head. “Do you know why?” I shake my head. “Because I was out of state with work. I met a male model and we hooked up. And it felt right, not like we had to wait to make it right.”

I look at her confused and don't know what to say. I mean I can't be too mad that she moved on, but I can't say that it doesn't hurt. “Kathy, are you serious?”

She nods her head. “Listen I know it makes me sound like a bitch, but I haven't felt for you like I used to in a long time. Maybe that is why I was always starting a fight. Just hoping you would end it.”

I walk out of the room and out of the house. Kathy broke up with me and I don't know why I am so upset about it. Kia and I can be together now, but what if I really only feel lust towards Kia. With Kathy I know it is love, but with Kia we have only been close for a couple of months.

I turn around to go back inside and Kathy is standing behind me. “Listen I know you hate me, but don't let Kia go. She is good for you and I see the way you guys look at each other. Especially this morning. Did something happen last night?”

I nod my head and say, “We kissed before the show, then made out when we got home but I don't know what to do or to think.”

“Did you tell her that you love her?”

I shake my head. “No, I told her that I was with you and it could never happen again.”

Kathy nods her head and gives me a hug. “Listen to me okay?” I nod my head. “Don't let her go. She loves you and you love her.”

She walks away then stops and turns around. “Jacob I will always love you and be your friend. I don't want you thinking that you are just going to leave my life. I want you to be my best friend like you were before we started dating.”

I nod my head and watch her get in her car and leave. I smile as I walk back into the house. I know what Kathy said about not letting Kia go, but I don't know if I am ready to move on yet.

Kia throws her arms around me in a hug and I look at her. She smiles up at me and whispers, “Can I kiss you?”

I shake my head no and walk away from her. I know I just hurt her but I can't help myself. “Kia, don't take this personally but maybe you should try being with someone your own age.”

“But I don't want to. Why try when I know that no one will live up to you?”

I shrug my shoulders and say, “Just try. You never know you might find somebody better than me.”

She walks out of the living room and to her room slamming the door. I just roll my eyes and look at the ceiling. I need to know if Kia really feels that way about me or not.
