A/N: Ricky, this one's for you! :D
Chapter 7
There was a strange sinking feeling in her gut as Kara watched Mike walk out of the door. He didn't look back again, but she couldn't take her eyes off him. It was true that for a whole week she was eager to see him again. But there was something about him… something that made him so mysterious.
Turning back with a sigh, she headed back to her room. She gasped when she saw Winn and Donna on her bed, Donna spooning Winn.
"Guys! You do realize if someone sees you together they will end up thinking you are actually together," Kara called, making them look up. "Together together."
"The bed is big, come cuddle," Winn said with a sheepish smile.
Donna groaned. "It's simple, Kare bear, I love being the big spoon, but I'm not seeing anyone at the moment, so Winn volunteered."
"Yup! I volunteered as tribute," Winn said proudly. "Hey, where's Mike? He went to bed already?"
Kara sighed and shook her head. "He left."
Both Donna and Winn sat up hearing that. "What do you mean he left?" Donna asked, quickly getting out of the bed and locating her jeans. She put it on before scolding Kara. "I cannot believe you let him go! And knowing you, you still haven't gotten his number. Kare bear, when you like a guy, you talk to him. And how does that work? By getting his damn number!"
Kara pouted and looked at Winn for some help. He nodded quietly and stood up; placing his hands on Donna's shoulders, he made her face him. "You really have to calm down, Doe. Kara isn't like you. She's new to all this. She's had one boyfriend her entire life, and she didn't really have to ask for his number. He lived next door. But since we are helping her out, I suggest we take the car and go out and find Mike."
"Umm… guys? I don't think he would ever want to talk to me again." Kara ran her hand through her hair, messing it up.
"Why? What did you do?" Winn asked, moving towards her. "Kara, what did you say to him?"
"I called it a mistake, okay?" Kara huffed loudly. "Sleeping with him was a mistake. And I told him that."
Donna and Winn exchanged glances. Finally, Donna let out a loud sigh and said, "We got a lot to teach her, Winslow!"
"I couldn't agree more," Winn replied to her, but his eyes were on Kara. "Okay, people! Damage control time! Let's go!"
Meanwhile, Mike had reached the small bus stop right outside the town. The bus wasn't going to be here in another ten minutes, so he took his phone out and called his best friend, or his only friend, as he preferred calling him. Turning on the video chat, he grinned when he heard Eric Crawley curse.
It was really late and Eric looked as if he was in deep sleep before Mike woke him up. "Hey bro! You sleepin'?"
Rubbing his eyes, Eric spoke, "The f*ck is wrong with you, man? Waking me up at stupid o'clock to ask me if I'm sleeping?!"
"You did pick up the phone!" Mike shot back. "And it's not that late. You just sleep early, you owl!"
"Mike, your name is right over Mom's, I thought she was calling me. But it also looked like Madison, the girl I was expecting a call from. Hold on, I need my glasses."
"Hey, four eyes, I met her!"
Eric's eyes widened, he sat up straight, his complete attention on Mike now. "Who her? 'Her' her?"
Mike shook his head. "No, dude! The blondie I hooked up with!"
"Ah! The one who kept saying 'Ding' in the elevator?"
"The one who kept calling me 'Kai Parker', yeah."
Eric grinned. "Looked up the guy. Man, your folks must have given up your twin bro for adoption."
Rolling his eyes at his friend, Mike replied, "Get lost! No, wait. I know who that ex is; the one that Blondie kept talking about. Guess who?"
"The Prince of England? How the hell am I supposed to know? You think I'm psychic?"
"Screw you! It's Barry freakin' Allen!"
Eric's jaw dropped. "F*ck! Bartholomew? What the hell, man? You slept with Barry's ex? Since when is his type your type?
"I know! She's not my type. But she's different."
"Since we are still having this chat at stupid o'clock, enlighten me."
Mike smirked hearing that. "She's like a perfect combination of sunshine, bunnies, tears and unicorn blood!"
"Stop right there! I've to watch Harry Potter again to know the color of unicorn blood! It's been soooo long!"
"It's silver."
"SILVER!" Eric cried. "How did I forget that? Thanks, but I'm still gonna do a HP marathon without you."
"I guess I'm gonna be here for a while longer."
Eric grinned. "Sucks! I got a new jet water scooter."
"F*ck off!" Mike smiled showing him the middle finger.
"Miss ya, bro! And go get on that bus, I need my beauty sleep. Night!"
"Miss you, too, brother!" Mike said, standing up when he saw the lights of the bus coming into view. "I'll text as soon as I get home." He cut the call and waited for the bus to come to a stop. When it did, he sighed and looked at the dark street once before getting on the bus.
No one is coming to stop you, you idiot, he mentally cursed himself and took a seat near the window. Pulling out his headphone from the backpack, he put on the music on full blast and closed his eyes.
Kara had never been this hyped in her life before. Not even when she went to Disneyland with her best friends. This was something else. A rush. She knew she had to see him again; apologize, because she had lied to him. It wasn't a mistake. It was anything but a mistake.
Sitting in the passenger seat as Winn drove the car, Kara's eyes searched for Mike. They had reached the bus stop, but he wasn't there.
Kara stepped out of the car. Lifting her dress up a little, she ran a little further and her eyes saw the small light that was going farther in the end of the road.
She was late. He was gone.
Dejected, she turned around to see Winn and Donna standing near the car.
"We can chase the bus," Winn suggested.
Kara shook her head. "It's too late. Too late."
Donna moved towards her and pulled her into a hug. "It's never too late. Mike coming to this party was some crazy game of destiny. Maybe if that's what's happening, a rollercoaster ride, I suggest you sit down and put on the seatbelt. But if you really, really wanna see him, I suggest we ask Nora for his number. She's his aunt, isn't she?"
"And my ex-boyfriend's mom. Yeah, right." Kara rolled her eyes and headed back to the car.
"Kara, if there's someone who truly believed in love and destiny," Donna started, "then that would be you. If you give up now, we all give up hope. Be the sunshine you are, don't let the dark engulf you."
Kara gave Donna a teary smile and hugged her again. When the girls heard a sob, they turned around to see Winn leaning against the car, wiping tears off his cheek. "You girls make me so emotional!"
The girls chuckled and went to give him a hug. Winn hugged them both and said, "Three Musketeers are still single! Yay!"
Donna gave him a mock-punch on his chest, and Winn pretended to be hurt. He grinned when he heard Kara's shrill of laughter. Placing a soft kiss on her head, he looked up at Donna, who simply gave him a bright smile before hugging him again.
