Thanks to thelighteninggirl for the review.
Have been travelling a lot for work and that has prevented me from getting an update out. Even now I have to go to a meeting so I'm going to make this quick.
Sorry to anybody else who reviewed and didn't find their names here. Will do that in the next chapter. Only 3 are left.
Thanks all of you!
Enjoy!
Chapter 7
Kat grinned like a Cheshire cat. She knew this would happen..eventually. to think her sister picked this day…speechless.
And that's exactly what her parents were.
They just gaped at her.
"Please just say what you have to and get it over with." Mia pleaded.
It was obvious she was trying to be nonchalant but she was nervous about their reaction.
"I knew you were..but then..this is just..and Amy..she didn't look like..I mean not that they look like certain..not the point..but isn't this…wow." Her mom finished her rambling.
"Congratulations, Mee Mee!" Kat couldn't hold herself any longer and got up to hug her sister.
"Thanks, kitten." Mia smiled embarrassed by her sister.
She then moved to congratulate Amy and hug her and welcome her to the family.
Mia was glad. Amy was extremely apprehensive and worried if her parents would accept her. She looked a bit more relaxed now that Kat was sitting beside her, showing her support.
Her dad was still gaping at her though while her mom was all flustered.
Mia's attention was caught by this big guy who seemed to be withholding himself from reaching out for Kat.
"I'm Mia, Kat's sister." She said while holding out her hand.
"Paul" He shook her hand without taking his eyes of Kat who she looked back to notice was blushing and smiling shyly. She then moved towards him and sat beside him. They seemed to be lost in each other unaware of any one around them.
"How? How is this possible? I loose both my daughters in one day? What the fuck did I do?!
"Robert!" Michelle gasped. They did not curse in front of the kids.
"I guess we should get going." Sam said as he got up with Emily.
"Take him with you." Robert said gesturing to Paul but Sam made no attempt to say anything to him.
"I'm not going anywhere." He declared.
"So what? You're going to live in my house now?" Robert asked his eyes twitching in annoyance.
He had enough. One daughter an imprint, the other gay; one married, the other committed.
"If I'm going, I'm taking her." He said as if it was the most natural thing and Kat blushed looking into his eyes.
"What's happening?" Mia was confused.
"Oh my God!" Michelle exclaimed suddenly as she burst into tears.
Robert was at her side in an instant. Kat and Mia exchanged looks at well.
"Well, at least you didn't give them a heart attack." Kat said shrugging and found Mia and Robert glaring at her.
"Sorry." She said giggling while hiding her face in Paul's chest.
"Look, why don't we take Katrina and Paul with us while you guys talk to Mia and Amy?" Emily suggested and Paul looked at her like she was God's messenger.
"Sounds good!" Kat said as she pulled Paul to his feet and they were out the door before anyone could protest. She knew her parents and sister needed to talk. Her situation demanded their attention at that point.
"You coming over?" Sam asked.
"Nah, I think we'll head home."
"OK. We'll drop you." Sam said and Paul nodded as he steered Kat to their truck.
He looked forward to spending a little time alone with her. It felt like a lot of time had already passed because of all the events of the day. He wanted to get to know her though.
Kat was happy as she sat with Paul. She was extremely tired too. She wanted to talk to them all but she couldn't seem to keep her eyes open.
"Sleep" She looked up to see Paul looking at her in that special way and she smiled lazily and shut her eyes as she leaned on him. He had other plans it seemed because he was quick to pull her into his lap but she didn't protest. She rested her head against his wide and warm chest and sleep soon found her.
Kat woke up feeling warm and cozy. She smiled as she opened her eyes. She felt well rested.
"Nice nap?"
Kat sat up forgetting where she was and her eyes widened as she took in Paul's half naked form. Then it all came back to her.
Her mouth formed an 'o'.
Paul chuckled at how adorable she looked.
"Come, you must be hungry."
"You cook?"
"Not really. I mean I can but just some basic stuff. Emily dropped off some food. Do you cook?"
Kat looked at him as they sat in the kitchen and Paul busied himself with setting plates.
"Only when necessary or when I really, really feel like it." She answered honestly.
"Good enough. How old are you?"
Kat watched as he served her and her stomach grumbled. It smelled delicious.
He sat down beside her instead of across from her.
"Nineteen."
He chocked and coughed.
She got up to pat his back.
"Really?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh it's nothing. You just look younger."
"How old did you think I was?"
"Not a day over sixteen." Paul said as he turned to look at her.
She chuckled. "I get that a lot. But I am nineteen."
"That's good." He said slightly breathlessly as his eyes fell on her lips. He had thought he would have to wait before talking about any kind of commitment but she wasn't that young and it definitely made things easier.
"I haven't been kissed." She blurted and immediately reddened at her outburst. Something about their closeness and his eyes on her lips and her own on his unnerved her and Rachel had mentioned that he was rather skilled.
"Well, we need to change that, don't we?" He said as he pulled her in his lap and kissed her soundly.
