Chapter 4 Flashback number 2
Over the next weeks Adam and Kellie had gotten closer and were very good friends. They spent time at Bonks together and whenever Adam got time off from the Ranch and her at her job. Kellie was even friends with Jack and Serena, thanks to Adam of course.
At that moment Adam was standing in the shower letting the water roll down his back as he stood there. After a long days work Adam was tired and wanted nothing more then to shower and crawl into bed for a nights sleep, but then there was Kellie. Adam sighed and began to wash his body and hair before finishing and getting out and drying off, and slipping into his clothes. After he had fixed his hair and grabbed his jacket, he walked out the door and out to the truck to drive to Bonks.
Once he got there he noticed that it was busier then usual. He scanned the bar for Kellie and spotted her serving up two rather young men in their early twenties. He noticed she looked uncomfortable around them and noticed that what ever they were saying to her was upsetting her. Adam walked over to where he was beside one of the guys and where Kellie could see him. Kellie looked up when he sat down and smiled at her, her eyes twinkling with happiness when she saw him.
"Hey Kellie." Adam said.
"Adam its good you're here. What can I get you?" She asked.
"Are you too an item then?" Asked one of the guys, Adam noticed he was British.
"Not that it's any of your business, but no." Kellie said.
The British guys eyes flared. "That's no way a lady should be talking to me." He said.
"Good thing I'm not a lady then, aye?" Kellie said before Adam could step in and do anything.
"Well aren't you a frisky one." He said. "Must be why you stick around." He said pointing to the direction toward Adam.
Adam glared at him, while Kellie was in shock at what he had just said. "You need to leave, now." Adam said his voice cold and calm.
"And what's going to happen if I don't?" the British dude said.
Adam stood up. "Adam!" Kellie said. "Come on, my shift is over, lets go." Kellie said and left the bar quickly dragging Adam behind her. Once they were outside Kellie and Adam walked toward his truck. "That little, ugh! I can't believe the nerve of that little basted." Kellie ranted.
"How long had they been bothering you before I came?" Adam asked.
Kellie shrugged. "Not that long only a few minutes." She answered getting in his truck.
Adam nodded. "What did they say to you?" He asked.
"Just that they wouldn't mind having someone like me as they're personal maid or some shit like that. And how frisky I must be and how they would like me to be they're little Goth girl, and things like that. And I'm not even really Goth." She said looking out the window. Adam's hands tightened around the staring wheel, turning his knuckles a ghost white. It was amazing that the wheel didn't break under the pressure. Kellie turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow. "Adam are you ok?" She asked.
Adam looked over at her. "I'm fine Kellie." He said.
Kellie frowned but let it go anyways. "You know there's no reason to be angry." Kellie said. "Just forget about what happened." She said.
Adam glanced at her, and shook his head. He would never understand her at times, but he clamed down anyways after a few minutes. "Did I tell you Kelsey called me?" Kellie asked excitedly.
Adam looked at her and shook his head. "Well she did." She said.
"What did she say?" Adam asked.
"She told me that the eighth grade was good and that she had Mrs. Jenkins, and she is five four in height wise, and started to tease me because of how short I am. That Kari was picking at her, because she had to get braces. And the usual sister stuff, and that she missed me." Kellie finished looking very happy.
Adam smiled. "You miss her don't you?" He asked Kellie.
Kellie looked over at him and nodded. "She's about the only thing I do miss." She said.
"What about Kari?" Adam asked.
Kellie rolled her eyes, "I do miss Kari but she's just, I don't know. She was always pretty nasty to me and Kelsey when she started to get older." Kellie said. "Along with her brother." Kellie answered. Adam frowned at this, but didn't say anything.
The rest of the ride was in silence both wrapped in their own thoughts about different things. When they got back to Kellie's apartment they flopped down in the living room to watch TV and talk. Kellie and Adam both sat on the couch in front of the TV.
"I remember watching this movie before the pulse hit." Kellie said.
"Really?" Adam asked.
"Yup, Kelsey was sick so I stayed up with her and watched TV." Kellie said.
"Where was your mother?" Adam asked.
"Around." Kellie shrugged. Adam sensed that she wasn't ready to talk about it and let it drop. "It was pitiful, she looked so small and helpless- "
~'He's so small and helpless.' A female voice said. 'He's going to slow you down.' A gruff annoyed male voice said. 'I'm not leaving him.' A different female voice said with a long black braid running down her back. 'He's my son, I'm not giving him up... No matter what.' The female voice, with the long braid said sternly. 'He's going to put you in jeopardy.' The male said. The other female spoke up. 'But he's just a child, how can he possible put any of us in jeopardy?' She asked. 'The same way you can by being here.' The male said angrily, his voice hard and cold. The woman looked hurt by his comment and the one with the braid looked angry with him. 'How dare you speak to my baby sister like that Z-'
"Adam!" Kellie yelled looking at Adam worriedly. Adam looked at her, his blue eyes focusing on her face. "Are you ok?" She asked.
"I'm uh fine." Adam said distractedly.
"What happened?" Kellie pressed on, not understanding what happened.
Adam shook his head. "I'm not sure." He said. "Let's just watch the movie.
"But Adam, this has happened before and-"
"Kellie just drop it and watch the movie." Adam said firmly.
Kellie sighed. "Fine if you don't want to talk about I'll leave it alone." She said. Adam's thought's raged on, not understanding what was happening to him. Ever since he had met Kellie, he kept have these moments where he would zone out. He shook his head to ride him of his thoughts and focused on the movie, letting the flashback go to the back of his mind.
As the movie went on, Kellie had brought her feet up and was know using Adam as a pillow as she slept peacefully. Adam smiled down at the sleeping form and wondered how she could have only had one boy friend. As he shifted his eyes back to the TV screen he heard her mumble something about her father before she settled down and slept.
(The next morning)
Adam slowly opened his eyes, and looked around the sun lit apartment. He yawned and was getting ready to get up when he felt weight in his lap. He looked down and saw Kellie still sleeping almost in a fetal position on the couch. He ran his fingers through her silky soft curls and stared at her.
As if knowing somebody was watching her, Kellie started to wake up. Her eyes slowly fluttered open. Her eyes looked around, and she brought them up to met Adam's. She smiled softly at him. "Hey, why am I in your lap?" She asked.
"You feel asleep last night." Adam simply said.
"Oh." Kellie said. "You know you're very comfortable." She said.
"I take it that's why you haven't moved yet?" He smirked at her and she grinned at him.
"Could be." She said and yawned and began to close her eyes again.
"No, you have to get up." Adam said.
Kellie started to whine. "But Adam, it's Saturday." She moaned.
Adam shook his head and stood up making Kellie's head fall back. Her eyes opened wide as she looked at him. "That was wrong." She said. Adam smirked and dragged her off the couch. "Wrong again." She muttered. She began to sulk as she made her way to the bathroom to take a shower.
When she got out of the shower she saw Adam eating in her kitchen and looked at him funny. "First you wake me up, and THEN you start to eat me out of house and home." She said and began to dry her hair with the towel. Adam only smiled at her and she rolled her eyes and walked away.
"So what's on the agenda today?" Kellie asked.
Adam stopped and thought a moment. "I thought I would take you out to the ranch today. I mean Mary wouldn't mind, she loves you, thinks you are the sweetest thing ever to walk the planet, and Buddy wouldn't mind considering Jack brings Serena anytime he wants." Adam explained.
Kellie raised an eyebrow. "And what would I do on a ranch?" She asked. "I know nothing about them, I can't even ride a horse for crying out loud." She said.
"Then I guess there is always a first." Adam told her. Kellie sighed said but agreed to it and changed into a comfy pair of old jeans and a black tee shirt and put he hair up in a ponytail. When they finally arrived at the ranch Adam led Kellie to where Mary would be.
"Mary." Adam said.
"Adam, where were- Ahh Kellie its so good to see you again." Mary said smiling at the girl in front of her.
"Hello." Kellie answered.
"Are you hungry?" Mary asked. Kellie was about to say no, but got ushered to the table before she could say it. Kellie smiled and glanced over at Adam who shrugged and smirked. "I mean look at ya, you hardly have any meat on you at all." Mary said. It was true; Kellie was small, but not a size two. Kellie laughed at that comment and watched as Mary sat a sandwich down in front of her.
"And I think Jack is out by the corral." Mary said to Adam who nodded and went to find Jack. He found Jack by the corral just like Mary had said. Jack looked at him and greeted him with a hello as Adam started to help Jack out with their chores. (Since I don't really know what they do on ranches and stuff you'll have to use your imagination, aight)
"Where were you all night?" Jack asked.
"Kellie's place." Adam answered.
Jack grinned. "Ahh so the little fire cracker finally gave ya some aye?" Jack asked.
Adam turned to look at Jack. "Don't ever talk about her that way again." Adam said angrily, it wasn't a request it was an... order. "She's not like that. So don't assume that she is." He snapped. His eyes were burning with anger and his body was stiff.
Jack looked at his friend. "OK, ok sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or anything." Jack said. Adam only shook his head, but Jack could tell he was still angry about what he had said about Kellie.
When Kellie finally came out of the house and found Adam, she could tell there was tension. She looked from Jack to Adam, and raised an eyebrow. Jack glanced at her and then quickly went back to work, and Adam looked at her.
"Uh, hey." Kellie said and shook her head. "So what'd I miss?" She asked, her voice holding amusement like always.
Adam shrugged. "Nothing really. Except doing the dirty work." Adam said.
"Dirty work? And what is that supposed to mean?" Kellie asked.
"A guys work. A doubt if you could have handled it." Adam teased at her.
Kellie crossed her arms over her chest. "Are you saying that I the great and oh so wonderful Kellie couldn't do this work?" She asked playfully.
Adam pretended to think about this. "Yea." He said.
"Ha! This my dear, is child's play." She said.
"Then please by all means do it." He said.
Kellie raised both of her eyebrows. "What? And smell like you? Um... No, I'd rather not." She teased him. Adam mocked glared at her, and Jack rolled his eyes at the two of them. The rest of the day Adam taught Kellie some things you had to do at the ranch and she would often do the opposite or something wrong making them both laugh at her mistake. However she didn't think it was funny when Adam taught her how to ride a horse.
"Adam!" She wined. "My ass hurts." She complained as she slid out of the saddle. "I hurt." She pouted. Adam chuckled at her, and she glared at him as she pouted. "I thought you loved me." She pouted. "And yet you're laughing, when I'm in PAIN." She said. Adam laughed even more as he led the way over to the truck to sit on the hood and looked over the fields as the sun went down. "It's beautiful out here." Kellie said and sighed. Adam looked at the horizon and then at her, and her slightly sun burned face. Kellie noticed his stare and looked at him with her head tilted to the side. "What?" She asked.
Adam didn't say anything, and only continued to stare at her. Kellie looked at him, and their eyes locked, Kellie tilted her head more to the side and searched his eyes. Adam pushed a curl that had fallen from behind her ear, back behind her ear. As he continued to stare in her eyes he slowly leaned over to her.
"This is like one of those old pre-pulse corny Soap Operas." Kellie said, and the two of them burst out laughing. Once their laughing had subsided, Kellie said, "I should probable go home now." Adam nodded his head, and the two got off of the truck and into the truck.
Once Adam had dropped Kellie off and said goodbye to her, he slowly made his way back home. On the way he thought things over. About how things had started to change ever since he met Kellie. As he sighed and continued to drive down the road he didn't have a clue as to how much his life would change because of her, whether for the good or bad.
I don't know what the hell was up wit that chapter, but I didn't really like it. I give my apologies for not updating sooner, but I have been stomped by school, and ickyfied Algebra and French. And there will be times where I will not get to update in a while, so sorry. Oh, and the next chapter deals with poor Zackie's Siblings. I already got the next chapter up and ready to post, so review this chapter and if you still like it so far, I'll post the next!!!!
Rose- Thank you for reviewing!!! I'm glad you like Kellie so far. Yea, I know I still have trouble picturing Zack that way, and I'm the one doing the writing, lol. Well thank you for reviewing, byebyes!!!
