Ahh!! Now that I am officially human again and completly refreshed. I hope that the murder plots against me can be called back. Please!! I really do not want to send the ninja penguins on my beloved fans.
OH!! This is Chapter Ten we all must do the chapter ten dance. wave hands in the air and do the moonwalk.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this chapter I know IT'S REALLY GOOD AT THE END. But that is all I am telling you, so now you have to read it. Muwhaha!
"No." I hadn't meant for it to come out so forcefully.
I was such an idiot. The Kane Jones, my dream guy, was asking me out and I just denied him. How in the world did this happen? I realized I needed to explain when I noticed how red his face was.
"Kane, I didn't mean it that way."
"Really, you're…"
"No I'm still with Justin."
He looked at me confused; oh this was defiantly not a conversation I wanted to have with my celeb crush.
"You mean Justin, the guy who had hurt you?"
I groaned. "He didn't hurt me."
He wasn't buying it. I wrapped my arms around myself and tried to come up with a reasonable explanation. I hated not being able to tell what people thought of me, especially Kane.
"Kane, I really don't want to talk about this." I turned away from him, I wasn't mad so I didn't walk too far. I just hoped he got the hint. I mean why would he want to hear my sad story about Justin, grant it he cared enough to seem worried, but other than that what would be the point, I was lucky to have seen him twice.
"Kaylee." He gently turned me around to face him. Moving a piece of hair behind my ear he asked me, "Why are you still with him of all the guys out there?"
I kept my eyes down. I honestly used to know why, with him asking me though I wasn't so sure. "He's the only one who can put up with me, I guess is the best way to put it." I mumbled.
He lifted my chin up and looked me in the eyes. "There's more than one guy who wouldn't mind putting up with you. Plus it's not like it would be horrible, unless you count spending time with one of the most amazing and beautiful girls I ever met, horrible."
Before he could see him I walked away, I couldn't stop blushing. I had never received a compliment like that. He sighed in frustration as I hadn't faced him yet or even responded.
"Kaylee, what is your type of guy?"
Okay I was not expecting that question. But it wasn't hard to come up with the perfect guy. All the characteristics I would love in a guy were standing right behind me. Smart, well mannered, charming, talented, and gorgeous beyond belief, even though that came in last of course. I turned back around and shrugged.
"You." The smile he gave me made me think that this had been a horrible idea; I should never have talked to him about this.
"So can you please tell me why you can't dump Justin?"
"Kane." I groaned and threw my hands out.
"What?" He seemed so innocent as though he weren't trying to kill me slowly.
I was so confused right now. Deep down I knew I deserved better than Justin. God if Cassy found out that I actually admitted it there would be no end, anyway back to the main though thread. Kane was giving me the perfect opportunity. My guilty side though was telling me that seeing how I had given Justin a second chance I would need a legitimate reason now to dump him.
"Kane, you're amazing. And you and I really do have a connection for knowing each other for such a short space of time. But I can't just dump him for you. I'm sorry." I whispered the ending because his face had become heartbroken.
He ran his hands through his hair again. I actually noticed it for the first time; it was completely shaggy with blue streaks. His hands didn't look much better.
"I really respect that you have to need a reason. But there is no need for you to be abused. It worries me that you want to stay."
"Kane why do…"
"I do because I care about you."
I didn't know how to answer to that. I stared at him willing to understand but staring just made it hard to think straight. He had blue streaks on his face from his frustration.
"Kane, I think you should go wash up." He looked in the nearest glass case and blinked. He nodded and walked off.
Now that that distraction was out of the way it would be easier to wrap my head around all this. This was way too much information to be bombarded with all at once. How did he expect me to react?
Plus he was fricking Kane Jones, one of the most famous young adults in the world right now. He couldn't be serious about having a girlfriend, especially me. I was nobody compared to the other girls he could be dating. I mean when did he expect for us to see each other; he's on tour most of the year. It would just be a 'call-me' relationship at best. Grant you most girls would kill to have even that with Kane. Truthfully I wouldn't mind it for a while, but then I would want more. Like I don't know, to see him.
I got caught so far in my thoughts that I jumped and almost fainted when he touched my arm. I jumped because he scared me but I nearly fainted because of the image he made.
He had washed up all right, his curls were shiny from the drops of water falling from them and his shirt was damp were it must have splashed. A wet shirt on Kane Jones was a thing to dream of, it outlined his chest perfectly. To think I had seen him without his shirt on and this just seemed to be better somehow, as though the shirt was teaser for what I knew was underneath.
Shaking my head I brought myself back to the present and told him my resolution. "Kane this would never work between us. I mean can you really stop being famous or would you for nobody like me? I know you won't or can't, and I would never ask that of you. There are…"
"Kaylee, stop making excuses. I know it would be difficult but I'm willing to try anything so you could…"
I had to stop him before he talked me into this. I was already hoping and I couldn't, I would be much more of a hassle to him than what it was worth. "No, I mean it. I would not be worth all the bad publicity Kane. I'm sorry but I …"
Soft but firm lips molded over mine. I dimly noticed a hand on the back of my neck and lower back. After that, all thought was lost. He licked my lower lip seeking for permission he didn't need. My lips parted on their own and our tongues touched briefly that sent shivers of heat through me. (Oxymoron there. sorry.) I never thought a kiss would make me feel this way.
I was chest to chest with him as he deepened the kiss further. My brain was feebly telling me no…I think. I really wasn't sure, but my body was going to go with any ounce of doubt.
I groaned and brushed my hands through his hair making drops of water to cascade on the both of us. As he shivered he gently started sucking on my lip. Oh god I hoped this never ended, but with one final touch of his tongue against mine, he pulled away.
He kissed me on the forehead and whispered. "You are worth it."
I stood, with his arms around me for quite a while. I thought that if I stepped away it would just have been a dream. I've had some interesting dreams about Kane, but this would defiantly be the best. He was the first to break the silence.
"Kaylee I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. But I was getting to the point of not knowing how to prove to you how much I care. That seemed like the best idea." He finished sheepishly.
I laughed. "Don't apologize on my account. I was as much of a willing participant as you were."
"Will…will you think about it now? At least for a minute."
"Kane, I think the kiss pretty much sealed that thought." I thought he stopped breathing for a full minute before he started grinning ear to ear.
"You mean it?!"
How could I say no when he seemed so thrilled about it? It was amazing how happy he was. I literally thought he was going to start bouncing up and down.
"Even though it's a horrible idea…"
He gave me another kiss. This was going to be hard to get used to. I was willing to pay the price though.
"Just let me break up with Justin properly." I was not looking forward to that part of my day. Kane must have seen the worry on my face.
"Don't worry. You're mine now and I won't let anything happen to you."
"Ah, the sound of the caveman at the mating ritual. So fierce that any male would tremble in terror."
A huge smile spread across his face as I started to walk away. Laughing he pounced on me and growled in my ear, sending goose bumps down my arms.
"At least sends shivers down yours." He whispered.
