HELPPP! MY STORY IS SUFFERING! I HAD AN IDEA BUT I TOTALLY LOST IT! HELLPPP !
Hidden Beauty
I sat inside the house, and waited for Aunt Ava. I didn't go down there anymore because I knew that I would see Katrin, and I didn't want to. "Hey mate, what's wrong?" I saw Jay walk in and then he saw me sitting on the couch sulking, and knew something was wrong, who would have guessed?
"Nothing…" I knew he wouldn't buy it, but he didn't keep asking he did something worse; he sat down beside me and stared at me until I told him. "It's just that…Katrin came up to me yesterday, and she said can we try this, and kissed me and now all of the sudden she wants to 'try it' but I don't give shit about her, I mean do I" I sighed and turned around and laid on the pillow. Nikki walked in and looked at me, stopped, shook her head and kept walking but said, "Bradin, you look pathetic, did another girl dump you…oops…I mean…errmm" she placed her hand over her mouth. "Nikki, if I was you I would run, FAST" I got up and chased her, knocked her over into the pool and she pulled me in with her. "Bradin, I hate you…you got me all wet" she laughed, splashing me and pushing her long hair out of her eyes.
"Seriously though, you can talk to me, if you need any help I'm here" I smiled at her, "Thanks Nikki, actually, I have a question" she turned around and looked at me, "Hmm" I sighed and played with a little leaf I held in my hand. "Is Katrin…" I didn't know what to say, whether to ask if she was nice, did she have a boyfriend, what she was doing later on, what her phone number was, nothing came to my mind in particular but Nikki smiled. "Bradin, Katrin has no boyfriend and she's really bored, you're very welcome to ask her what she's doing tonight if anything and ask her out" she answered all my questions at once, as if she knew. "No, that's not it, I was going to ask if she was nice…I don't know, forget it" she came over and hugged me. "Bradin, Katrin likes you, and I know you like her too, so just ask her out idiot, I know how you feel about how she was before, but she changed Bradin, a lot, so just trust me on this, just try it, and if it doesn't work…sorry" I laughed, "If it doesn't work, I have full permission to kill you" I dunked her into the water again and jumped out ran to my room.
Someone knocked on the door. "Come in" I shouted, the door creaked open. "Hey, Bradin, I got Katrin's phone number, here, call her, have a good time please… I know she likes you a lot Bradin, just give her a chance" I smiled and gave my sister a hug, she was really trying. I dialed the number and after 4 rings hung up. I can't do it. Then the phone rang, I picked up the receiver and listened to the person on the other end, it was Katrin. "Hello, who is this, someone just called, is this Ava?" I coughed, what a time. "Bradin?" she relaxed a bit, she seemed somewhat scared. "Yeah, uhh…listen Corinne, you want to…go to the amusement park, or something" I braced myself for her to smack to phone down, but she didn't. "I would love to Bradin, I'll be right over" I didn't have a chance to say anything, but instead I shrugged and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
I put on 3 different things, and I still didn't look right, and Nikki must have noticed. "Bradin, relax, first of all…second, nothing too formal, you're going to an amusement park, rides, running, slides, nothing fancy so just shorts and a shirt, third, here, I got you some flowers you can give her, and Bradin…take it slow, see how things go" I couldn't believe she was helping me, I held in my hand a gorgeous bunch of roses and a bunch of money, then placed it into my pocket. Why was I all of the sudden so nervous?
The doorbell rang and I ran downstairs. "I got it" I told Ava and opened the door. Katrin stood in front of it, her hands behind her back. She had on a plain pair of jeans, a black shirt that was tight on her chest but towards the bottom got loose and red shoes. "Beautiful, but missing something" her smile faded. "What?" I got one of the roses, broke it enough so that there was a piece of a stem and stuck it in her hair, she smiled. "You're so sweet Bradin, so, we going to go" I waved bye, to Nikki especially; she helped so much, and then took Katrin's hand and walked out the door.
We were driving down the road and I had my hand on my aunt's Mazda Miata's stick shift, I wasn't switching for a while, so she got her hand and placed it on top of mine, as if some sort of weird reaction, I pulled away, so did she. "Bradin, what made you change your mind" she smiled, her eyes looking just perfect to fall in love that instant. "Nikki, she said I should give you a chance, I still think this is so wrong, and never meant to be but…" she rolled her eyes. "Bradin please, just give me a chance, I'm not a slutty sex-addict, or whatever you think I am, I'm a normal person…that just happens to have fallen for someone even she knows she shouldn't have" I noticed her looking, so I turned her way and smiled.
We got to the park and I took her hand and led her inside. "Ooo, let's go to the roller coaster first" she screamed and pulled me along; I forgot to mention I was afraid of heights, but I'll close my eyes and it'll be fine. "Aw, line too long, let's go on the Ferris wheel" I just about collapsed, even worse, then I got an idea. "Yeah" so we waited for about 5 minutes and were seated into the basket. As the wheel went up, I looked at her then turned in my seat, grabbed her head and kissed her. Her gentle lips pressed against mine and for 2 minutes, I was in heaven. The wheel floated, why in the world had I fell for her so badly?
After we finally pulled apart, she took my hand just as the wheel stopped and we both got off. "Bradin, thank you for doing that, thank you" I was confused. Noticing my blank stares she laughed, "I finally know how you feel too, I know you like me too, I know its mutual, please tell me that kiss meant something Bradin, please tell me you're willing to give this a shot" she was practically crying,
"Yeah, one shot, let's see how this works" instead of holding her hand, I put my arm around her waist and went over to a pretzel stand. "You want something?" she pointed to a cinnamon and sugar one, "Ooo that looks so good" I told the salesman and he handed it to me, I handed him the money and walked off with one for me and a drink. "So you having fun" she bumped me over to the side, "More then I had in a long time, I'm so glad you finally noticed that I changed"
She took my hand and we went over to a game which had basketball hoops and basketballs, she pointed to a small brown teddy bear, it had a red ribbon around its neck and held a bouquet of roses, "Aw its so cute" I had to get it for her, she didn't ask but I wanted her to have it. "I suck at basketball, but let me try" I paid the mand and tried, after about 5 dollars I got all 3 in and was able to win her the teddy bear. "You are so amazing Bradin, thank you, it's very special to me, I'll save it forever" I kissed her and let her over to the rest of the rides.
About 2 hours later, I figured I would take her home since she was starting to fall asleep on my shoulder on the bench. "Come on, let's go, we're both tired" she got up and held on to me so she wouldn't fall, but didn't open her eyes. We got to her house and she got out of the car and held my hands in hers, looking up at me. "Bradin, you are so cute, you have the most amazing smile, most amazing eyes, and you are really sweet, I really like you" she pushed herself up and kissed me again, then pulled away, opened the door, and walked in.
I got home around 2 am; this was the most amazing night. I walked in to find Ava and Jay sitting on the bar stools, talking and drinking coffee. I was almost blinded by how much light they had on. "Bradin, where the hell were you, I thought you like slept over or something, gosh you scared me" I smiled, walked up to her, kissed her on the cheek, and then walked upstairs. Jay followed. I sat on the bed and he sat beside me. "So, you had fun with Katrin, and finally gave in that she's not that bad" I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, yeah whatever" Jay laughed. "So she kissed you, you kissed her, more then a kiss, something special must have happened for you to be so happy" I laughed and bit my lower lip.
"Yeah, I kissed her at the park and she kissed me when we got home, I got her a teddy bear too" Jay aw'd. "That's sweet, but now you have to know, she probably likes you even more, it's just kind of an 'I am madly in love with you and I want you to always remember me so here's a bear' type of thing" Jay laughed, well glad you had fun, you'll see her tomorrow at the show, I hope everything works out, she's a sweet girl" I knew he was right, she was a sweet girl, but she was a gorgeous model, and cheerleader, I would never have a chance with this amazing girl, and once she realizes it, I'm off her screen for good, I was so scared of being hurt, that at this point, I was positive that I had to break up with her for mine and her sake, so whatever happened tonight stayed here and that she was a sweet girl but not worth the pain. Katrin would have a boyfriend in a matter of days once we got back to school, guys on the football team, not a blonde surfer boy from Kansas. Her life was so easy, she had it all, she couldn't have my pride too.
