Chapter 14*
On the plane to St. Louis, Matt started to grill Kirsten on what she has planned. She figured she'd just give him a little idea, not give away all her plans just yet.
"Well, seeing as how we, and when I say we, I mainly mean you, but anyway, we have some trust issues…correct?"
Matt looked down for a second, the looked back at Kirsten's waiting eyes. "Yes."
"Good, you admit it, that's the first step, ok. So, I'm going to break this pattern…how you might be thinking? Let me tell ya. I'm going to be giving you tests. That's right. I am going to get you to trust me…even if it kills me."
Matt was really curious now. He kept on waiting for Kirsten to tell him more. "Well…how do you plan on doing that?"
"Pop quizzes…You won't know when, you won't know where, and you might not know that it's a quiz at all. And you're not getting any more out of me." Kirsten smirked; she was satisfied with leaving him waiting. She picked up her portable CD player and put her headphones on, letting sleep overtake her.
Matt stared at her dumbfound, and scared. He didn't like how this plan sounded, but he was willing to do it…for her, and for him. Amy looked at the two of them. Kirsten informed her of her plan, and couldn't wait to see what happens. This is definitely going to be an interesting trip.
A few hours later, the gang pulled up into the hotel parking garage. Jeff grabs the girls' bags out of the trunk and then grabs his and Matt's bag. They all walk into the lobby, Amy and Matt go check in. Kirsten and Amy were going to share a room, lots of girl bonding to catch up on; the boys have an adjoining room.
In the girls room
"Ames, you think my plan will work?" Kirsten was having some serious second doubts and needed some re-insurance.
Amy, sensing the major doubtage, walked over to Kirsten and put her arm around her. "It will work. I know Matt, this will definitely work."
There was a knock on the adjoining door, Amy goes to open it, and there's Jeff.
"The eagle is in the rainforest." Jeff stated.
Amy and Kirsten looked at each, then back at Jeff, "what?!?"
Jeff sighed, totally disappointed that the girls didn't pick up on the code, "Matt is in the shower."
"And you're telling us this because…" Amy was confused. Kirsten was trying not to get a mental picture of Matt in the shower.
"Oh for crying out loud, Kirsten, get your butt in there and test the boy."
Kirsten looked at Amy, "you told him?"
Amy shot Jeff a look, Jeff didn't know he wasn't supposed to know.
"Ok fine. Whatever. Time to get this fun started." Kirsten walked into the other room.
Jeff looked at Amy, "think this will work?"
Amy looked into the boys' room, "I hope so Jeff. I really hope so."
In the boys room
Kirsten peaks her head into the bathroom. She tried not to laugh when she heard Matt singing a Pearl Jam song. "Why am I not surprised?" Kirsten thought. "Come on K, you gotta do this." She walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
Matt heard the door close. "Jeff, you need something?"
"Jeff's not here."
Matt stuck his head out from behind the curtain. He was positive that he was seeing things. Kirsten was in…his bathroom, while he was in the shower. "What are you doing?"
Kirsten sat on the counter near the bathroom sink. "Just sittin, go about your business."
"O…k." Matt went back to his shower, really freaked out now. "So….you ready for the show?"
"Sure am, I can't wait to go backstage too." Kirsten was definitely enjoying the definite discomfort Matt is in right now.
"K, what is this?" Matt peaks his head out again. He had shampoo running down his face. Kirsten wiped the soap that was about to get into his eyes.
"This is nothing. Just making conversation. Is that a problem?" Kirsten was really enjoying this now. Matt was so uncomfortable right now. That will change.
"No…not a problem." Matt goes to rinse his hair out, and turns off the water. He now realizes he can't get out without Kirsten seeing him naked. They weren't even back together yet…there was no way she was going to see him naked.
Kirsten sticks her hand into the shower, "towel?"
"Um…thanks." Matt takes the towel and wraps it around him. He steps out of the shower and looks at her. She was still sitting on the counter, with a smirk on her face. She hops off and walks over to him.
"That Matthew was quiz number 1. I'm sorry to say, you failed." With that, she walked passed him, into her room, to go get ready for the house show.
