Chapter 6 - Give it Back
Miguel scanned the lobby of the hotel. He had to find Kay. Now. He couldn't lose her. Especially over something as stupid as Matt Anderson.
" Where could she be?", he muttered.
She would never go to a place where he would look for her. He knew that. So where could she be? What's the one thing Kay couldn't stand?
The answer struck him like a lightning bolt. The pool!
Kay hated water. At least, the kind of water that you could drown it. The only thing she could stand was hot tubs. She always begged her parents to get a whirlpool, but they wouldn't spend all that money on it.
With that thought, Miguel raced down the hall to the pool.
Kay Bennett
Dear Diary,
I need help. Serious help. I have never been so confused in my life. Is it possible to be in love with two guys? That sounds like a line right out of some lame ass movie of the week, doesn't it? But this is different. I don't actually have to choose between Miguel and Matt. Miguel is with Charity and god knows what they're doing now. But I'm still thinking about that time that Miguel made me choose between him and Matt. That was way back in 6th grade. Four years have passed and a lot has changed since then. Now I'm not sure what I'd do if I were put in that position again. But I have a feeling Miguel wouldn't be too happy with my decision.
Charity looked at the clothes strewn across the floor. She still couldn't decide what to wear tonight. After all, it was going to be a big night. An important night.
She knew that Miguel was out looking for Kay. He'd been gone for nearly an hour now. Oh well. She'd deal with him later. Seriously, though. Yes, the boy was tres hot. But he was so dense! Anyone with two eyes and half a brain could figure out that Kay is so in love with him.
Kay had never really done anything to her. On the contrary, she helped her out a lot. She gave Charity the life she always dreamed of.
" You gave me your life, Kay. And tonight is the night that I will show you there's nothing you can do to get it back.", Charity whispered.
Kay and Matt sat in the hot tub together. They had just spent the last forty five minutes making out in the empty exercising room. And yes, that boy definantly knew how to kiss.
" Kay? What's up? You okay?", Matt asked taking her hand.
" Mm-hmm.", Kay replied, smiling. She laced her fingers between his.
It was so amazing. She had been silent for about 30 seconds and he asked her if she was okay. He actually... cared!
" So do you wanna go to dinner at Seren--", Kay started.
" Kay! Kay?", Miguel's voice rang out.
" Oh, kill me now.", Kay muttered under her breath. She pulled her hand away from Matt's. She did not want to deal with Miguel right now. She just KNEW he was going to freak once he saw that she was with--
" Matt?!? What are you doing here?? With Kay, I mean.", Miguel asked, eyeing them both.
" Hey dude, I didn't know you were her keeper.", Matt said, easily laughing off the edge in Miguel's voice.
" Kay, can I please speak with you for a minute?", asked Miguel.
" Can't this wait until later, Miguel?", Kay asked him in a weary voice.
" It'll only take a minute, Kay.", Miguel replied in almost a pleading voice.
" Be right back.", Kay said to Matt, giving him a quick peck on the lips.
She followed Miguel to a table with a big shady umbrella standing on it.
" Miguel, what do you want? Can't you see I'm having a perfectly good time with Matt?", Kay demanded.
" Kay, maybe you shouldn't spend so much time with Matt. You don't even know him anymore.", Miguel pointed out.
" Miguel! Omigod! Why do you care whether I spend time with Matt or not? He's a decent guy and he cares about me. He notices me and treats me right. That's more than I can say about you!", Kay exploded.
" I know. Your right.", Miguel said quietly.
" Huh?", Kay asked. She obviously had not count on that reaction.
" Kay, I know that I've treated you wrong. I know that. But I want to make it up to you.", Miguel said.
" Wait a minute, Miguel. You ignore me for over a year, and suddenly, when I meet a guy that I really like, you decide to go all, "Let's Spend Time Together" on me? No. Nope, sorry. I'm not falling for that one.", Kay said hotly.
" Kay, I'm not trying to break you and Matt up. This is about us.", Miguel lied.
" Sure, Miguel", Kay said sarcastically.
Miguel was getting so frustrated with Kay! She knew him so well! Too well. She knew that he was just trying to distract her from Matt. He had to do something. To make her change her mind. There was only one choice. Did he have the guts?
He leaned in and kissed her.
Matt Anderson
That bastard. He couldn't take it. He couldn't take anyone else being with her. He never could.
So, just when I think me and Kay might have a chance together, the jealous idiot has to go and kiss her. And in front of me too.
Well, Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald. You are for the fight of your life. Because Kay Bennett is too special to me. I'm not letting go of her withour a hell of a fight. Not again. I learned my lesson already, and I never make the same mistakes twice. Kay's beautiful, spunky, loud, and full of energy and life. But she's not too girly. She still knows how to have fun. She still loves to play sports, to do "guy stuff" too.
So Miguel, like I said before, you are in for the fight of your life. May the best man win.
