Chapter Six
Every Angle
Craig felt different when he went to school on Monday, and he thought it had to do with Coralie, and the events of Friday night. The thought of her pulsed in his veins, the thought of the events flowed along his skin, buzzing and sliding against him in a way no one else could see, but he knew was there.
Ashley Kerwin was leaning up against his locker when he got to school. "Ellie said I should listen to you."
"I messed up, badly. I'm sorry. I wish things would have been different."
"You really are sorry, aren't you? This isn't a ploy to get back together."
"Its not. You deserve someone better, and I...it just couldn't have worked much longer, I see that now. I just wish I'd have realized it and ended things instead of cheating."
"Thanks for that, Craig. I think I could forgive you someday. Not now though." He just nodded, and she walked away. He felt lighter after that, and it made him feel better. He'd have to thank Ellie.
"Hey, Ellie? Thanks, I talked to Ash."
"No problem Craig...I saw Coralie this morning-Saturday night ok with you?"
"Sure...hey, we should bring Sean."
"Sean? Cameron?"
"Get him away from the gang, you know...but he'll still feel wild..and you know you have a crush on him."
"I do not!" Ellie protested, but agreed to talk to Marco and Coralie about bringing Sean to the club.
Lunch was once again quiet for Craig, because he didn't feel comfortable sitting with Marco, Ellie, and Ash. He used the time to work ahead in his history class, figuring if he was going to be going out more his grades should go up.
After school Craig came home to find Coralie on his couch. "Hey, Craigo! Joey had some meeting, and so did Caitlin, so I'm in charge of the kids tonight."
Angie looked up from her coloring. "Corie and I did my reading already. You're late."
"I was taking some photos."
"I didn't know you were a photographer." Craig nodded. "Any other hobbies?"
"Some friends and I have a band. We're not horrible. How long are you here for?"
"eight or nine, the lovebirds are going to have dinner together after the meetings. Unless you think you can be in charge, then I'll go home."
"No, stay!" Craig hoped he didn't sound too excited about having her here.
Angie watched cartoons while Craig did his homework in the kitchen, mostly watching Coralie cooking dinner.
"Do you like to cook?"
"Yeah, I do."
"You are a fascinating woman, Coralie."
"Thank you, Craig." Just then Angie came in and wanted Craig to play Connect Four, so he didn't have a change to really talk to Coralie. After dinner, Joey called to tell them that Caitlin and Him would be home around 11, and to put Angie to bed at eight. They did as they were asked, and then Coralie started to act like she should leave.
"Come on, stay, we'll have fun."
"Fun is a relative concept, kid."
"I'm not a kid!"
"Yes, you are. Deal with it."
"You aren't exactly an old woman, Coralie."
"Thanks, that was a nice compliment."
"I meant it!" Craig protested. "You're young, beautiful, sexy..."
"Much better." She kissed his cheek then, and he felt a burn that he knew would last days. "But I should go. Ellie told you about Saturday?"
"She did, we'll all figure something out so we can go and stay all night..not that Joey will mind much, gives him more time with Caitlin." Craig said with a smile. He liked Caitlin, liked having her around, but he really liked that Joey didn't mind Craig's going to stay over at Marco's anymore because of her.
"Good, I'll see you then, if not sooner."
"Why are you rushing to leave?"
"Because, Craig, you are a danger. And as much as I like danger, I'd prefer not to have any in this house." She kissed him then, on the lips, deeply, then said. "Understand now?"
"I do..I think. Saturday?"
"Saturday." She walked out the door then, as much as he wanted to take her to his room and have her teach him things.
