Fire River

Chapter 10

The music seemed to only progress in the loudness as the night dredged on, intensifying every noise and every scene. As if you were watching from behind a glass window. Katie Scott stood looking down along the messy mahogany bureau, taking in every sent and memorizing every picture frame and its contents. She let out a cold breath as she could feel his warm larger body behind her without even looking up into the large mirror but once she did she let out a soft chuckle then instantly regretted.

"You know you're really beautiful." Nate Westerfeld said brushing her hand across her smooth neck resisting the urge to reach further down. He was feeling something he never had before, he was known for being hot and a womanizer. He could have any girl he wanted in Knights Ridge they were all open to the possibility of being Nate's girl but they also knew better, since he also was known for not being able to keep his pants on. But he was a good guy all the same.

Now he stood here with his best friend's younger sister shaking in his knees wondering if he could just sit down, the sight of her making him feel clammy and even when he thought about it, it wasn't just because of the way she looked, or her large breasts or even her Caribbean blues eyes. He knew he was up in his room with her when there was a party downstairs for some reason, and that reason was so unknown for Nate he wasn't sure what to do.

Katie shrugged her short brunette hair waving back and forth as she walked across the room. "It's not that much quieter up here." Katie said suddenly feeling anxious even though in the back of her mind she knew it was only Nate. "I guess your right." He responded following her path getting ready to bolt from the door. She bit her lip looking down at the ground wondering around the room as Nate stood boldly in front of Kate looking at her. That was something new and incredible for Katie Scott.

When she finally looked up him her beautiful Caribbean blue eyes met his and he quickly pressed his lips down on top of hers, her beautiful plump soft birthday girl lips. "Is that okay?" He mumbled as he pulled away only centimeters from her. He moved downwards again resting his muscular hand on her face as they fell onto his over sized bed one on top of the other.

It was like a dream for Katie, the best birthday present she could ever have. But as Nate discovered the inside of her mouth with his tongue he took the next step wondering what it would just be like to be with her, for the rest of the night, to graze his hand up her shirt, to unbutton her juicy couture jeans, to hear her moan in his hear. And while Katie laid there wondering the same things as she allowed them to kiss for what seemed like forever with out breath she knew better, she knew it would never happen, not tonight, Nate didn't seem to know that.

He slowly kissed along her neck groping his hand along her thigh slowly inching across her mid drift fumbling with her pants buttons. "Nate…?" Katie questioned with urgency as he moved his lips lower down her chest. "Nate no…" She cringed as he slowly pulled her pants down. He didn't even say anything as she finally had enough momentum to push him off of her.

Katie bit her lip as she buttoned her pants angrily and pulling the strap of her bra back to his proper space. "Kate…" Nate cried as he sat on the bed. She ran to the door, as Nate took in on what he had down, realizing that he might not have been any different then the rumors said. "Katie." He repeated racing after her down the stairs. "Don't talk to me." She urged as she slammed the front door of the house closed not even making a sound enough for anyone to hear. "Shit."

Katie Scott tripped down the front step of the Westerfelds front pathway. Biting so hard into her lip she could blood filling up just to keep from crying as she checked behind her to make sure no one had left the house. It was darker then she anticipated as an unfamiliar face came wandering up the perfectly green and tan grass. "Do you know what's going on in there?" "A party?" Katie returned looking at a girl maybe a little older then she was with long perfect black hair.

"I'm Lorelei… I just moved in down the road." "Hi." Katie muttered under her breath as she uncrossed and re crossed her arms. "I'm Katie… Kate actually. Kate Scott." She fumbled with her words trying to cope with just happened and maybe just maybe thinking she could forget and so could she. But even for a girl who life's in her own imaginary knew it couldn't happen.

"My parents sent me over, they said they might call the cops." Lorelei Miller asked somewhat confused as she looked inside of the cramp house. Katie smirked as she squeezed her arms tight to her body. "Even if your parents call the cops, they won't come out here… besides Nate has a party like every other week." "You know Nate?" She asked. Suddenly the front door of the house opened out Nate Westerfeld flying out of the house.

"Katie!" "Look Lorelei was it? I have to go. See you around." She didn't even look back as Katie Scott began walking up the main road her breasts bobbing up and down her hair swinging back and forth. "Fuck, fuck fucker." Nate mumbled tossing himself to the ground. "My parents said they might go call the cops." Lorelei said forcing the house owners too look up from where his head laid in the grass. "Go tell them that." He murmured before the new girl disappeared into the crowded house.

On the other end of the house Serena Allen was walking through the house bouncing off the walls as she rested her entire body wait upon Noah. "Where's my water?" She mumbled as they continued walking. "I don't know. Charlotte-Marie probably got lost somewhere." Noah Scott muttered as he threw open the front door of the Westerfeld houses walking Serena down to his car thrusting her into the side of the white SAAB. Neither noticed their good friend lying in the grass his eyes shut tight.

Still inside of the house filled with people Charlotte-Marie Myers searched for both Serena and Noah carrying an over flowing glass of water hoping to catch them before she passed out from excitement. She had so much to do she had no time to walk around at some high school party. She had an outfit to pick out, hairstyle and entire conversation to write up, it was time to get to work.

She finally carried the water outside dropping it onto the decaying grass as she nearly tripped over Nate Westerfelds outspread arm. "Oops." She mumbled catching her balance. She ran her fingers over her straight dark brown bangs as Nate never lifted his eye lids. "I'm gonna go now. I'll see you later okay Nate?" "Charlotte-Marie can you do me a favor…take them all with you!" Charlotte cracked a smile because at this point would have found anything funny.

"Are you okay Nate?" "Have you talked to Noah in the last five minutes?" Charlotte muttered: "no." under her breath as she continued walking towards her car at the foot of the lawn. "Don't drink anymore tonight Okay Nate?" He mumbled some curses under his breath as she jumped into her own car following down the main curving road around the river pulling into a house not too far behind another car that was stopped by the side of the road, a dark figure next to it, but Charlotte was too busy to pay it any mind.

"Get in the car Katie." Noah Scott yelled out his car's front window past Serena's decaying mouth. Katie slammed the back door of the white SAAB behind her and crossed her arms in huff. "Are you okay?" Noah asked his younger sister turning completely around as he drove through he winding roads. "I'm fine." She murmured wiping the tears from her eyes as she sniffled letting it all dry up.

"I can't go home." Serena Allen said pulling her hair into a pony tail feeling through it for vomit. "Why?" Noah questioned as she breathed heavily against the window pane. "It's only Mrs. Foster-Allen and I can't deal with her screaming at me. My dad took Tag to Manhattan for the weekend. Can you imagine him and Tag? How gay."

Knight's Ridge was dark but in a few hours everyone would be awake, some never gone to sleep others rising after a silent night. But never the less when the clock hit exactly 5:33 and 29 seconds the sun would set over Knights Ridge's river setting it on fire.
