Chapter 6 –Only you and I catching up
Kaitlyn's first night without Colby was rough. Her new house was so big and she felt so alone in it. After eating breakfast all by herself, she sat by the pool with a book but she just couldn't focus on anything. She missed her boyfriend so much already even though he called her the night before, as soon as his plane landed.
She decided to pay a visit to Amber, since she had nothing better to do. Even though she knew her friend was dealing with some things, she wanted to be with her. She texted Jon to know where her new apartment was and he sent her the address not long after.
After driving for a few minutes, Kaitlyn finally found the place. She was not used to drive in the neighborhood and she passed by Amber's place three times without even realizing it. She parked in front of the apartment, grabbed the coffees she bought on her way and got out of the car.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Amber said when she opened the door to Kaitlyn.
"I come in peace bearing gift." she said as she gave her an espresso full of whipped cream just like she loved. "Can I come in? I promise not to talk about the guys. Only you and I catching up."
Amber smiled to her friend and let her in after giving her a big hug. Her apartment was beautiful and modern. She had a beautiful living room and the view she had of the town was amazing. It was a small place but it looked awesome. The kitchen, the bedroom and the bathroom were also very nice and Kaitlyn was happy for her friend.
"It's great Amber, I really like it."
"Yeah me too. It's not as beautiful as your house though…" she said with a sad smile.
Kaitlyn finally understood what was going on with her best friend. She was jealous of her because Colby had bought her a house.
"I had nothing to do with that and you know it."
"I know but I couldn't help but to envy you." she admitted.
"If I had known that Colby was planning on buying it, I would've stop him. And if you had told me you were staying in Orlando, I would've asked you to come live with me! I'm so lonely in that damn house."
"Yeah, Jon talked to me about living with you but I didn't want to impose."
"You know I would've loved it Amber, come on!" Kaitlyn said with a smile.
"That's what he told me, but I just didn't listen. We actually fought about that." Amber said as she looked down.
"So there really is something going on between the two of you."
Even though she promised not to talk about him, she couldn't do otherwise than to try to get it out of her. Amber sat on her couch and invited Kaitlyn to do the same. She drank a sip of her coffee before telling her best friend the whole story. Amber talked to her about Jon's jealousy of Fandago and how he accused her of cheating on him.
"Did you?" Kaitlyn carefully asked.
"Of course not. I could've but I didn't. He is a handsome man and he's being very flirty with me but he's not my kind of guy."
"Then why would Jon think that you slept with him?"
"I might have said that Fandago wanted me more than he did. Things had been rough lately and we are kind of growing apart from each other. I tried to make him jealous so that he would come back to me, but it only made things worst. And there is the fact that he's pushing me to wrestle. I'm not as good as you Kaitlyn and I really don't think that I can do it."
"Of course you can!" Kaitlyn said with a smile. "You know that Paige would like to help you and I can help you too. You know you can just ask instead of cutting me out like you did?"
Amber apologized to her with a big hug. She thanked her for being so stubborn with her. Kaitlyn told her that she just wouldn't accept that her best friend was mad at her.
"I wasn't mad."
"Well you looked mad. So, are you and Jon ok?"
"I don't know. I was busy with the apartment and we barely talked before he left."
"But you are still together?"
Amber slowly nodded. Kaitlyn wanted to ask her why she wasn't at the airport but she decided to let it go. She asked her friend if she wanted to go out tonight, like old times, just the two of them.
"Meet me back at the house at eight. I'm taking you out in a club tonight." Kaitlyn said with a big smile.
Kaitlyn was happy that it went great with Amber. A part of her was scared that her best friend was going to kick her out of her apartment. It hurt her to know that she was acting like this because she was jealous of her but Kaitlyn couldn't do anything about it. It wasn't her fault if her boyfriend bought a house and if she was good at wrestling.
Kaitlyn turned in her driveway and her heart started beating faster when she saw a man standing on her porch. She couldn't recognize him and she was a little bit nervous. Since Colby left, every odd thing made her scared to death.
"May I help you?" she asked to the stranger.
The man turned around and Kaitlyn smiled when she finally saw his face. Her big brother Aiden was standing there with flowers in his hand. She had not seen him in forever. Since she decided to travel with Colby, they only talked on the phone and on Skype. It was the first time in a year that he was in front of her. She ran and jumped in his arms, making him drop the flowers on the ground.
"What are you doing here?" she screamed as he was putting her down on her feet.
He grabbed the flowers and gave it back to his little sister.
"I'm here to congratulate you on making it to the Performance Center." he said as he kissed her cheeks.
"How did you know? And how the hell did you find me? I haven't even spoken to you in days!"
"Colby called me yesterday to tell me all about it. He was worried about leaving you behind so he paid me plane tickets to come visit you so that you won't have to be all alone."
Kaitlyn was so happy that her boyfriend did that to surprise her. He was such an amazing man and she was missing him even more.
"Where's the kid?" she asked as she was looking for her nephew.
If she missed her brother, it was nothing in comparison of how she missed Liam. She had been an important part in this kid life and leaving him back in Montreal was the hardest thing she had to overcome when she agreed to follow Colby. Aiden looked at her with a sad smile.
"Aiden, where's Liam?" Kaitlyn said, slowly losing her patience.
"He's with his mother."
Kaitlyn's jaw dropped to the floor. Liam's mother left them when he was only two years old and she never showed up again.
"Come on little sis'." Aiden said before she could say anything else. "Invite me in, we've got plenty of things to talk about, starting by this beautiful house that your boyfriend bought you."
