*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
It was now the last week of the summer vacation. I did want to see Pietro but it still felt sort of weird that he and I now were in a relationship. Or at least I think we were! I don't know maybe I'm just looking for a reason to avoid seeing him, or maybe he was avoiding me, or maybe he got into a terrible accident and is laid up in some hospital somewhere with amnesia! *Geez get a hold of yourself Kitty, you've been watching to many re-runs of Unsolved Mysteries.*
Kitty sat in front of the mirror brushing her hair. She spilt it straight down the middle to begin braiding it into two but she paused momentarily and stared hard at herself. What she saw was something she was positive she would see for the rest of her life. A skinny little nobody, with low self-esteem, a ton load of insecurities and the personality of a sponge. *What does Pietro see in me?* But Kitty failed to see the reality. She failed to see the way her rich chocolate brown waist length hair fell down her back in bouncy locks and accentuated the delicate frame of her face. The way her thick brown eyelashes lay neatly around her large sapphire blue eyes, and sparkled every time she smiled. She also failed to notice that every time she did in fact smile her nose would scrunch up ever so sweetly and reveal the deep dimple on her right cheek. Failed to notice the way one of her perfectly arched eyebrows would raise every time she heard or saw something she didn't understand. Her personality was not flawless but she was one of the most warm, caring, and sensitive people you could ever hope to meet. Not judgemental, always ready to help anyone out of a tough situation. Yes she failed to realise, failed to notice how truly beautiful she really was, both inside and out. Instead she saw - nothing.
Kitty stood up and threw on a pair of blue cargo jeans and a white sleeveless t-shirt and ran down stairs. No one was home as usual so she decided to get out.
... ...
I took a walk along the beach to think and clear my head. I felt confused and depressed all at once probably because school was starting next week. I wanted so much to be with Pietro but something was holding me back. Something slightly tugged my hair.
"You know I think you should take up scaring people as a profession.'' I smiled up at him.
"I scared you, I'm sorry; it's just that I've missed you so much. We're next door neighbours and we never see each other!''
"I'm the one that should be sorry; you don't deserve to be treated like this. Go on without me, live your life, I'm only holding you back.''
"What's gotten into you lately? You're always tense and judgmental! You know I think we need to work on your low self-esteem.''
"Can I talk to you seriously?''
"Sure, I'm all yours.''
"It's just that things are moving so fast, I've never been in a situation like this before and I guess I'm just scared. Is that stupid?''
Pietro took my hand in his and he leaned in to kiss me. My heart raced and my palms were sweating. I could feel his breath close to my lips. The gap between us closed in fast and I stupidly blurted out...
"There's something else I want to tell you Pietro." (AN - Hey she panicked! It could happen!)
He backed up a bit and looked at me with great perplexity. "What is it?"
I wanted to tell him about my other little problem but what would he think? Would he want to be with someone who's a potential freak, maybe worse? I've finally found a guy who likes me. I couldn't tell him.
"Um... nothing."
"Kit are you sure? You don't look so well." He furrowed his brows.
"I'm sure - just... just hold me, please."
He smiled warmly and placed his arms around me. And right there and then I knew we belonged together, he made me feel so safe.
He tightened his grip around me and just then I heard someone call out his name. It was Kory.
"Hey Pietro, I just happened to be passing by.....''
"On the beach?'' Pietro said sarcastically.
"I just happened to be passing by and I saw your car. So, what are you doing? Oh hey Kitty.''
"Kitty and I were kind of in the middle of something.''
"Pietro and I were talking about poetry. You know Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare, the works, nothing big really.'' Pietro cocked an eyebrow at me.
"So as long as you weren't doing anything important, Pietro do you want to go to The Pit and get a bite to eat?''
"Actually Kory your sister and I are...''
"That's alright Pietro, you and Kory go ahead, I think I'll just head on home.''
"No you can't! We were in the middle of...''
"Great then it's a deal. Kitty I'll see you at home... later. Pietro you coming?''
"That's alright go Pietro, I'm fine... really.''
"Are you sure that's what you want?''
"Of course that's what she wants; you guys act as though you like each other or something! You don't, right?
"Don't be silly Kory, Pietro and I are just friends.''
"But Kitty...''
"Come on Pietro, it's getting late!''
"Um... Kitty can we give you a ride home?''
"No thanks I think I'd rather walk.''
"Alright then, Bye.''
He didn't want to leave. His goodbye said it all. How could I have been so stupid? I'm pushing him away. Pushing him straight to Kory, and away from me! What am I, afraid of my sister? Do I really care what she thinks? Yes I am and I certainly do. I was so angry. Angry with myself, Kory and especially Pietro. He didn't have to go! He could have said No! No he couldn't. Nobody can say no to Kory, not even me. What was I going to do?
TO BE CONTINUED.
