Chapter 1 – Sometimes They Come Back
Reagan parked in front of Amy's house and turned the engine off. "Camping has been a good idea", she said with a seductive voice smirking at Amy.
She leaned forward to kiss Reagan slowly and when the kiss went deeper, she pulled away with a smile on her lips. "Way too good", she said, an inch from Reagan's mouth.
"Alright shrimp girl, go now. Before I restart from where I stopped in that tent".
Amy raised an eyebrow. "And that would be bad because...".
"Because you're already late and your republican and conservative mom is going to kill if you don't show up anytime soon safe and sound".
"Sometimes there are good reasons to be late".
"Amy, please don't tempt me. I'm trying to be a good girl".
Amy pouted. "I can't stand when you behave".
"Someone between us has to".
Amy kissed Reagan one last time, rubbing her upper thigh and sending shivers all over her body. It got to a point where it was hard for Reagan to even concentrate on not jumping her bones right there in front of her house, with her mother probably looking for Amy from a window. But Amy fortunately stopped and unwilling went out of the truck.
Reagan smiled at Amy as she turned around to wave at her before entering in her house.
On her way home, Reagan couldn't stop smiling and she felt like an idiot for that. Since when a girl could make her so cheesy? She was a badass, right? Not a silly girl who falls for her girlfriend too soon. Reagan sighed, who she was trying to fool? She was already fallen for Amy way too much and there wasn't no remedy. And she knew that when she had said that she loved camping too, she meant that she loved Amy. She wasn't just ready yet to say that aloud.
When she entered in her apartment, she instantly heard a strange noise coming from her bedroom. She froze for a moment, then she grabbed the umbrella next to the door and walked toward the noise's source. She just hoped that it was just a fruit of her imagination because she wasn't very confident about what she could have done just with an umbrella. She thought she might used the surprise as an advantage.
"Get your ass out of here!", she screamed as soon as she saw the back of a figure in front of her in her bedroom. She stopped her arm right when the umbrella was an inch away from his face.
"Please", he begged with a smile on his face. "Don't hurt me or my ass".
Reagan lowered the umbrella, looking shocked at her brother. "KJ, what the hell are you doing here?".
"No-one calls me like that, Rea", he said, sitting on the top of her bed.
She sighed. "Answer the question, Johnny".
"If I have to be honest, I expected a better welcome. You don't see your dear brother for more than a year and the first thing you do is attack him with an umbrella. Where are your manners?".
"I think they have ended up with yours. Don't you know it's rude to sneak into the others' homes without being invited?".
"Apparently our parents have just failed with us".
Reagan laughed and sat down next to him. "God, I've missed you", she said, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Alright, who's the lucky one?".
"What do you mean?", she asked frowning.
"You're mushy. And you're like that just when you lose your head for a girl".
"Fine, there's someone. But you haven't told me yet why you're here".
"Well, one night our parents felt particularly lovely and didn't want to watch the TV, so...".
Reagan nudged Johnny. "I don't mean the story of your birth, you dork".
"Sorry", he chuckled, rubbing his arm. "I just need a place to sleep for a few days".
"And of course you can't go to mom and dad's".
"What do you take me for? A masochist?".
"You're such a drama queen. But you can stay on the couch".
He smiled widely and then hugged Reagan, who returned the hug awkwardly. "Thank you so much, Rae, you won't regret that. Now, I gotta go".
"Are you kidding? We are in the middle of the night".
"I know, but I promised Mike to go out with him and I can't blow him out".
"Right, Mike. Your-brother-from-another-mother... are you sure you're not gay too?".
Johnny threw a pillow at Reagan and she giggled. "Have a good evening, KJ".
"Want to come with us? You know Mike has a soft spot for you. It's so hilarious when he makes a pass at you, he's so hopeless".
"I'll pass that", she said yawning. "I just got back from camping. I just want to take a shower and sleep".
"Camping? Jeez, this girl will soon become part of the family".
"You'd be a terrible brother in law for her".
"Shut up, she would love me".
"Yeah, I think she will", she said as she watched him walking out the door.
…
When Johnny and Mike met, it was like not a single day had passed. They immediately jumped into Mike's car and headed for their favorite local.
"Don't get me wrong, Johnny, I'm glad to see your dump face again but what the hell are you doing here? You were supposed to travel the world making music".
"You know how it is", Johnny said with a shrug. "The tour didn't go very well, I need a little rest before the next blow".
As soon as Johnny finished speaking, the car passed in front of a house. Johnny heard a beautiful voice accompanied by the sound of a guitar coming from the garden.
"There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy, does it show
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go"
He squinted and saw a girl with auburn hair bent over her guitar. "Have you heard her? Killer voice", Johnny shouted, a little bit too excited.
Mike laughed. "J-boy, calm down. You hear a girl singing and you fall in love".
"Shut up. That's not true". Johnny thought about it for a second. "Okay, it has happened".
"It happens all the time, dude".
…
The local was cool but it was still too crowded. Johnny and Mike ordered a drink and before they realized that, the time flew, among the jokes. Before leaving, Johnny glanced at the end of the bar counter and saw the girl with auburn hair that he had heard singing before. Johnny believed in fate more than anything else, so he knew that couldn't be just a coincidence.
Moving closer, he heard the girl complained to the bartender. "I want another drink".
"I think you've had enough of it for this evening", the bartender said.
Johnny could smell the alcohol even from a distance. The girl had definitely exaggerated. Stepping closer, he glanced at the bartender. "Joe, I know her", he lied.
The bartender knew him and, since he was tired of having to deal with a drunk girl, he pretended not to see the girl turning against Johnny and scream with slurred words "Who the fuck are you?".
Johnny chuckled. "You'd better pretend to know me, if you don't want the bartender to call the police".
Although she was completely drunk, the girl seemed to understand him. She got up from her chair and let Johnny help her walking.
"What's your name, drunken?", Johnny asked, supporting the girl with half of his body.
"K-karma", she blurted out.
"If it's true and it's not the alcohol talking, it's a cool name, girl".
"What about you?".
"Everyone calls me Johnny, though that's my second name".
"What's the first one?".
"Kennedy".
"Are you joking? Your name is Kennedy John, like John Kennedy, the president?".
"First, my parents are really patriotic. Second, look who's talking, Karma".
"Ok, neither of us is responsible for our parents' madness".
When they reached Mike, he looked at them with astonished eyes. "What are you going to do?".
"She can't go home on her own in these conditions".
Karma interjected into the discussion. "Do not take me home. My parents ...".
Johnny sighed. "Well, I suppose she can sleep on the couch".
Mike chuckled. "It's the first night and you've already bring a girl home, your sister doesn't know what she get herself into by hosting you".
A/N: Hi guys, this idea came to me and I just wanted to write it, just to see if it works. In the following chapters there will definitely be more Reamy and more Karmy. What do you think? Should I continue?
