Chapter 11 *
Matt was sitting in his kitchen, with the cordless phone in his hand. He was once again, debating on whether or not to call Kirsten to see if she was ok. He punched in the numbers and let it ring, and then all of a sudden he hears the slightest tap on the back door. He looked up and nearly dropped the phone. Kirsten was there. He got up and opened the door. After a few minutes, Kirsten broke the ice.
"I didn't want to ring the doorbell. I didn't know if your dad was asleep."
"He is, but I'm sure he wouldn't have minded. You want to come in?"
Kirsten walks up to Matt and just hugged him.
"I couldn't sleep." Kirsten barely whispered.
Matt looked at the woman in his arms. He was so happy that she was back…even though she was in so much pain.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Matt let go of her, closed the door, and sat her down at the table.
Kirsten just shook her head no. "Not yet."
Again, there was a long silence. "Moni told me about her and Jeff."
Matt smirked, "he was really freaked out about that."
"I can only imagine. I bet he had the "deer in headlights" look on his face."
"Yea, he did, he had it for about a week. He couldn't believe it."
"Just goes to show ya, kids love him." Kirsten yawned.
"I bet you're really tired. Do you want to stay?" Matt wasn't thinking anything perverted, He just knew she shouldn't travel back home.
Again, Kirsten just nodded. Matt stood up, took her hand and walked her to his room. He took her coat and saw that she was in her pjs. He had to smile at that, a grown woman in kitten pjs, it was definitely a sight. She climbed into the bed and lied down. It seemed as though she fell asleep the second her head hit the pillow. Matt pulled the covers up, tucking Kirsten in, kissed her forehead and went to go sleep on the couch when he heard a very faint "Matt."
He turned around and looks in her direction.
"Please stay with me. I don't want to be alone right now." He could tell that Kirsten was near tears again.
"Sure thing sweetie, just let me get changed."
Kirsten muttered an ok and Matt quickly got changed in the bathroom and came back into the room. He climbed into bed, trying to make the least amount of movement; he didn't want to wake her. He wraps his arms around her waist, and holds her close, just like he has in his most recent dreams.
