Chapter 33 *
When they reached Matt's house Matt noticed Jeff's bike in the drive. Kirsten saw it too and wondered, "I figured he'd be with Moni."
"Yeah me too."
They quietly entered through the kitchen door. Kirsten took off her shoes on the doormat and Matt kicked his under the coat rack before making their way to the living room. Dad was alone, in his recliner, still awake so Matt made the intro. After exchanging Hello's, Matt asked if it was ok that Kirsten were here this evening, making sure they weren't intruding on anything he may have had planned. Dad reassured him-happy to see that Matt had resolved his issue from earlier.
"Hey, by the way, where's Jeff? His bike is in the drive."
"He's gone, he took my car so he could take Liger home. He's coming to get his bike in the morning."
With that, the two made their exit. Kirsten followed Matt down the hall to his room. She sat on the bed while Matt read her the selection of movies she had to choose from. Kirsten made her choice and Matt pushed play. He came to join her on the bed, fluffing up the pillows on her side to make her comfortable. Feeling very confident in himself, in her, he put his head on her stomach and as if on reflex Kirsten began running her fingers through his hair.
"Don't do that, you'll put me to sleep."
"Sorry."
"No I didn't mean it that way. It feels good, I just don't want to fall asleep yet."
"Ok."
Content for the time being, they were soon engrossed in the film.
The movie has come to an end and Matt looks up and sees Kirsten is sound asleep. He gets up, puts a blanket on top of her, kisses her forehead, and goes to see if his dad is still awake.
"Is she planning on spending the night?" Gilbert asks from the kitchen.
"she's asleep. I don't have the heart to wake her."
"so that's her huh?"
Matt gets a goofy lil grin on his face, "yea. she's cute huh?"
"yea, the hair is lil too Jeff though."
Matt laughs, "her sister has purple."
"and that's the one Jeff wants?"
"Yup" Matt turns and goes back to his room.
