2nd part/Conclusion
~Caitlin and Brett: weirder things have happened~
Caitlin continued to hold the doll but her mind was still trying
to figure out what had just happened a few minutes ago, had Brett really
kissed her? Was that even possible? This was Brett, cute, popular, went
out with Taylor Brett. Caitlin touched her lips with her finger and she
swore she could feel Brett still on her; Caitlin shook her head. This wasn't
like her. She wasn't the kind of girl that drooled over guys, she didn't
dawdle guys' names on her notepad, she didn't daydream and she certainly
didn't dream of them together again.
"This is crazy…"
Caitlin's voice sounded distracted, she stared off into space, her
finger still on her lips and she wondered why it was so crazy. Brett said
himself that they made a great team and they both loved adventure and she
would be able to put that he was a jock beside. 'What am I doing? We're
not an item' Caitlin said to herself mentally.
"But could we be?"
Caitlin finally looked down at the doll, her and Brett's baby. Caitlin
smirked, before this project had seemed so silly but now it felt like some
sort of a dream. A dream that she didn't really want to end, she wanted
the dream to live on forever. Caitlin wasn't a dream kind of girl, she
wasn't the kind of girl that wanted the fairytale book ending, she was
the kind of girl that crushed those kind of girls by telling them dreams
never came true and now she somehow transformed into one of them.
"I have to go find him"
Caitlin jumped off her bed dragging the doll with her; she flew
out of her room and fled downstairs and past Griffin and Eric but then
came back and walked over to them.
"Baby-sit Cat for me Griffin, thanks a ton"
Before Griffin could say a word Caitlin pushed the doll into Griffin's
arms almost causing him to drop his can of soda; Griffin watched Caitlin
grab her jacket and run out of the house just like Brett had done a few
minutes ago, Griffin looked over at Eric.
"What in the world is going on in this house?"
Eric took a bite of his sandwich and washed it down with some soda,
he cleared his throat and turned to Griffin.
"Love is in the air Griffin."
Griffin opened his mouth to protest but instead he just took another
sip of his soda, he wasn't even in the mood to think of how things would
change if Caitlin and Brett really did feel the way Eric says the do about
each other.
Caitlin tightened the grip on her jacket and squinted, there was
a hard wind blowing and it was sprinkling but she knew that was soon to
change. Caitlin was about to turn around and go back home but then she
saw Brett sitting on a rock, his face in his hands. Caitlin walked over
to Brett and stared at him for a second, even when he was in deep thought
he looked cute. 'Stop that' the little voice in the back of Caitlin's head
warned.
"Brett?"
Brett didn't need to look up to see who the voice belonged to, he
already knew, it was Caitlin's voice, he couldn't forget that voice if
his life depended on it. 'Maybe if I ignore her, she'll go away' Brett
moaned a bit when he felt Caitlin sit down next to him.
"Are you mad at me for something Brett?"
"Yeah"
Caitlin looked over at Brett in shock but then her bad temper side
came out of it's hiding spot.
"Well you shouldn't be you idiot! You kissed me!"
Griffin tapped his fingers against his now empty can of soda, his
eyes were lowered and they weren't focused on anything really.
"Dude, why does it freak you out when I mention Caitlin and
Brett..."
"Shut up"
"See, your face gets all scrunched up and you go all pyscho on me!"
"I don--"
Griffin un-scrunched his face and leaned against the kitchen counter
staring at Eric.
"It's just weird. Caitlin and Brett, the idea of them actually liking
each other like that just freaks me out. In my mind it's just wrong, I
mean these two can't even agree what to get on a pizza or which movie or
tv show to watch and you expect me to actually think they can get along
for a second to figure out what their unrequited feelings are for each
other? I think not"
Eric stared at Griffin with a amused look on his face.
"Go ahead and use big words but there is one little simple word
to explain what is going on between them..."
"Nonsense?"
Eric shook his head.
"No... love. Watch my lips when I spell it....L-O-V-E. I didn't
want to believe it at first because if Brett actually got with Caitlin
it would probably mean we would be in trouble all the time because Brett
and Caitlin are both adventerous people but then I saw how passionate they
fought about pizza, the way they looked at each other when they thought
no one else is looking... it's love Griff and they got it bad"
Brett raised his head and was about to say something but Caitlin
interrupted him.
"First off I didn't give you permission to kiss me, secondly if
anyone should be mad it's me because I was violated you big jerk!"
Brett opened his mouth to say something again but Caitlin cut him
off once more.
"And to think that I was actually starting to like you! See that
just proves that I'm not that kind of girl. I don't believe in happy endings
and love at first sight and soulmates! I don't believe in dreams and all
that mushy stuff, it's just not me"
Brett stared at Caitlin with intensity in his eyes, watching her
silently.
"I mean yeah you're cute and funny and cool to hang out with but
what does all that mean? All that doesn't mean you're the kind of guy that
I would actually go out with if I would want to go out with someone. I
mean the kind of guy I want is the kind of guy that isn't afraid to take
chances, he doesn't lie, and he will always be my friend no matter what."
Caitlin got up and started pacing back and forth trying to hide
her disappointment. Brett stood up as well and continued to listen to Caitlin.
"And plus…"
"Caitlin…"
Caitlin looked at Brett.
"What?"
"Shut up"
Before Caitlin could say anything Brett walked over to her and kissed
her, both his hands on both sides of Caitlin's face. Caitlin was shocked
by the kiss at first but then she wrapped her arms around Brett's neck,
they finally pulled apart and Brett smiled as Caitlin was but then she
hit him.
"Ow what was that for?"
"Never tell me to shut up… and why did you say you were mad at me?"
Brett ran his fingers through his hair still staring at Caitlin.
"Because you had me all flustered, but here's a little secret, I
was never really mad at you"
Caitlin smirked and started to walk with Brett beside her.
"If you think one passionate kiss is going to make me change Cat's
diaper you're wrong"
Brett laughed.
"Then you are just going to have deal with me"
Caitlin glanced over at him.
"I guess I do. Stick with me Brett and you might learn a thing or
two"
"Oh is that so?"
Brett arched his eyebrows.
"Yeah it is."
Caitlin smirked and linked her arm with Brett's.
Come on, yeah
You are my knight in armor
The hero of my heart
When you smile at me I see
A true world go up
The river is getting deep, believe it
You're all these arms of mine wanna hold
All wrapped up with a river
Baby, I'm giving you this heart of gold
So listen up, it's you I trust
I feel magic every time that we touch
I pledge allegiance to the heavens above
Tonight to you baby I make my declaration of love
(Hey of love)
Just like Juliette belonged to Romeo
You can stay prepared that I won't be letting you go
In the heat of the night
So right you taste my sweetness on your lips
I'll make it better than you ever dreamed
And the rest of your life will be just like this
