Chapter Eleven.
Author's Note: Why doesn't anyone want to review? I feel so rejected - I knew I shouldn't have posted this stupid story! I knew it was a long shot! Does this fic really make sense to you guys or is it just STUPID! I'm thinking of discontinuing it! Anyways warning - this chapter is pure fluff (YUCK!) - I almost passed out writing it. But I know I've got to Let Pietro and Kitty have a little time to themselves to sort things out. Hope you enjoy.

The next afternoon, I stepped out side to get some air. Resting on the welcome mat was a cuddly snow-white teddy bear with a sad face holding a red balloon that said 'Forgive Me', a bouquet of red roses propping it up. I reached over and took out the card - it was from Pietro, who else! I contemplated going over there but the bear was just so cute, it even smelled like him. I couldn't give it up. But I couldn't keep it either - I mean how would that look. I groaned inwardly and slammed my door shut, making my way over to Pietro's.
Walking up to his house I could hear faint shouting from inside. As I drew closer, it became more audible. Pietro and his Dad were having a disagreement and I was the main topic.
I didn't want to listen, I tried with all my might not to listen but I just couldn't help it...
"It is imperative that you keep sight of our goal Pietro. You can't allow your feelings for this girl to cloud your thinking."
"Oh cut the crap Dad - my feelings for Kitty has got nothing to do with this. The human race doesn't know about us - who knows if they'll ever know about us. We're preparing for a war that may never even happen!"
"Don't be foolish Pietro! It's only a matter of time before our presence is made known and when that time comes we'll be able to stand up and defend ourselves instead of cowering in the shadows. She's already been to the institute Pietro, already been to see Charles - that's makes her the enemy. You must stay away from her and focus on what is important!"
"But I don't want to stay away from her! I don't see her as the enemy! Why can't you just go and visit Professor Xavier? Just listen to what he has to say!"
"Charles is a hopeless dreamer. His way of peace - through talks and negotiations - it will never come to be. To get what you want you must stand up for yourself and take action! You see my son, we need to be united, and I need to know that you are by my side and that I can count on you. So I want you to forget about this girl and focus more on her sister. Her mutant abilities will be a great asset to us."
"Dad I love Kitty and there's nothing I can do to change that!"
"Being melodramatic is sometimes not a good thing Pietro!"
"Urgh! Why won't you just listen to me?"
"This discussion is over Pietro!"
I heard footsteps fade and then some drawing closer to me. Oh crap! The doorknob shifted and I froze. Oh please, oh please let this stupid power kick in. It didn't. I really need to go and see that Professor!
"Hi Pietro." I would give anything to be anywhere else but here right now.
"Kitty what are you doing here?" Pietro eyed the flowers and bear behind my back. "You're returning my gift I see."
"Well that was my original idea but then..."
"You heard everything that my father just said."
"Well not everything."
"So exactly how much did you hear?"
"Just enough to know that I should be the one apologizing to you."
"Yeah you should be! You shouldn't have to believe that I care about you from an argument between my dad and me! You should have trusted me."
"I know I messed up - I'm sorry."
"So is this the part where I'm supposed to forgive you?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You shut me down before I even had a chance to explain Kitty!"
Her temper flared a bit. "Well if you had tried a little bit harder maybe you would have had the chance to explain."
"You said some things that were totally uncalled for!"
"I said some things that were totally uncalled for? You didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth and I said some things that were totally uncalled for?"
"You pushed me away Kitty! Look I'm really not in the mood for this right now! I gotta get out of here!" Pietro pushed past me.
I breathed nervously, hesitating a bit. Finally I decided to grab his hand. "Pietro I didn't come here to fight with you."
"Well then why did you come?"
"At first to return these but then I heard what you said and I realised that I owed you an apology."
He didn't say anything. He just stood there looking at me. There was a long pause of silence. I had to do something to stop the deafening pause. It was a last resort,
"I heard you and Kory went out last night."
"What of it?"
"Did you have a good time?"
"What if I did?"
"Nothing just curious, I guess."
"Well frankly it's none of your business."
"That was way harsh."
"As you would put it 'I'm sorry'."
Alrighty then, I realised this wasn't going too well. The tears just welled up in my eyes, I couldn't think straight. I managed a sobby,
"She told me you didn't kiss her, why?"
"Don't you think that's a little obvious?"
"Is it?"
"I love you Kitty." His voice lowered a bit, "that's something that's never gonna change."
I couldn't fight it anymore. I threw my arms around him and started to cry.
"I'm sorry Pietro, I really am. I'm so sorry for not believing you. I'm sorry you felt as though I was pushing you away....."
He silenced my rambling by placing a kiss on my lips. We stood there for while totally engrossed in each other, neither of us wanting to let the other go. I reluctantly pulled away...
"So does this mean you accept my apology?" I smiled at him mischievously.
"Only if you promise to take good care of me."
My smiled grew wider, "it's a deal!" he hugged me tightly.
**************************************************************************** *******
We sat on Pietro's porch swing talking. I rested my head on his lap and he played with a loose lock of my hair. I closed my eyes for just a moment but soon fell asleep. I didn't know how long I had been asleep but when he woke me I saw the most beautiful sunset.
"Hey there gorgeous!"
"Hey. How long have I been asleep?"
"For about an hour or so."
"So you just watched me sleep for an hour?"
He shrugged, "it wasn't hard."
I smiled back but then a thought quickly occurred to me and I furrowed my brows.
"Pietro do you think we'll always be together?"
"I don't see why not. Why don't you want to be?"
"Of course I do! It's just that - your Dad."
"Forget about him. He's too caught up with this stupid idea of his."
"But what if he..."
"Kitty don't worry about it. My Dad can't do anything to hurt you or come between us." He kissed me lightly.
"I guess."
"But?"
"But there's something else. I've been receiving these really weird phone calls lately. Someone has been calling and telling me to stay away from you or I'll be sorry. The call I got last night was much more intense. The voice said that because I haven't left you alone I'm going to pay and that's a promise. What should I do Pietro, I'm so scared."
"Have you tried calling the police?"
"Will they believe me? Or will they think that I'm some weird teenager receiving crank calls from her boyfriend or something?"
"What about your Dad?"
"He'll never let me go out in public again!"
"Don't worry Kit I'm here for you. We'll figure something out."
I got up from on top Pietro's lap and hugged him.
"Thanks, I really needed to hear that."
I then remembered there was something else I didn't tell him. Curse all these secrets.
"Pietro there's something else. I think Kurt has a little crush on me."
"How do you figure?"
"Well remember the other night when you two were studying at my house?"
"Yeah, sort of. What about it?"
"When you guys left I found a note on the counter and it kind of creeped me out."
"What did it say?"
"I don't remember much but it was something like words can't express the way I feel about you, I can't imagine my life without you and I promise one day we will be together."
"Why didn't you tell me all this before Kitty? This could be something serious."
"I thought it was nothing until I started getting those weird phone calls, now I'm not so sure."
My eyes shifted around aimlessly and caught sight of my watch - it was nine thirty. It was getting late and Dad would be home soon. I didn't want him to worry so I said goodnight to Pietro. Just as I was about to leave, he held my hand and said,
"Promise to call me if you get anymore phone calls or you just want to talk?"
"I promise Pietro, I'll call."
He then drew me into another tight hug and then a long kiss. When we finally broke apart, he smiled warmly and mouthed a quiet...
"I love you Kitty."
I kissed him again.
