Chapter 39 - A lot of Thinking
AN: Wow, thanks for the reviews. I want to take a second and say sorry to everyone wondering why I'm not updating RIDE. It's not prewritten and I'm having a hard time writing it. It's just on a temporary hiatus while I try to get inspired. I'll write more of it I swear. Ok. A few other things. Ya'll must know that Kat is not gonna get Nyssa's man. I wouldn't do that! But I can have some fun with it in the mean time can't I? After all Nyssa messed up big time didn't she. And yes, the story will explain more on that whole situation as time goes on.
Wiliingfaith, I'm having a hard time believing you find Kat Mary Sue but you liked Nyssa. If I had to pick one that would be more Mary sue it would be Nyssa. Hell, Kat has flaws out the ying yang. I guess if you don't read the subtle hints about how insecure Kat is and how hard she tries she might seem like she's got it all easy and that she's perfect but the fact of the matter is she's not perfect. She's insecure, selfish, cocky and spoiled. I love her, I made her after all but she's far from Mary Sue. I guess it would have helped people understand if I'd written more about her past. I mean yeah, she's a great racer but she had to work for 4 going on 5 years to get where she is. It's not like most stories you read where the girl racer just walks onto the scene and starts winning. I've kind of hinted and explained how much she had to work to get where she is now before. I don't think it's fair to call her 2D and Mary Sue based on the fact there are two things she does really well. I mean, aren't there a few things you do really well? There are several I do really well. The definition of Mary Sue is a character with no flaws whom everyone loves. People hate Kat. Anyway we can agree to disagree but I will have you know that Kat is not Mary Sue and I have put a lot of work into her. I know you weren't flaming me but to be honest I'd use the old Mary Sue card a bit more carefully. It's normally pretty obvious when a character is and for some of us the Mary Sue card is a very hurtful insult. You made me even more insecure about my writing for a while there but then I had a nice talk over email with someone who's opinion I really trust, no offence to you but this girl is a fellow author and her stuff is awesome and she doesn't think Kat feels Mary Sue. Then I got over it but at first I was down right mad. Anyway, you wanted my opinion on what you said and there it is. Glad you liked She's Bonnie and for the most part like this anyway. Wow, that took a while to say. Hope you don't take offence. It wasn't my intent I just wanted to add my two cents as the creator of the girl in question.
Hey PenningFantasy. Shout out to make up for my less then stellar review history on TBGO! ;) By the way, if you're not following this story(The Beat Goes On) and really anything this girl writes you should be. She's awesome!
Without further ado, the story.
Leon couldn't believe what he was seeing. How could they? How could Vince do this to him? A little voice told him it was only natural after all the comfort they'd offered each other that their emotions got the better of them and they were just taking the comfort to the natural next level. Even Leon'd had comfort sex before. But the thought of Vince taking what Leon had never gotten to have made him so angry. He had no right to be angry he knew. He'd had his chance and blew it. Kat and Vince deserved the chance to be happy. But hadn't Kat just finished telling Vince in the back yard she still had feelings for Leon? Then again both Kat and Vince had had a lot to drink. Leon went into the house. There was nothing he could do besides go bang the door down and he didn't want to do that.
Vince locked his hands under Kat's butt and lifted her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck with a giggle. They kissed again and she licked and nibbled down his neck. "My rooms at the top of the stairs on the left, first door." She whispered in his ear. He carried her up the stairs into her room and closed the door with his foot. He leaned her against the wall and kissed her deeply again. Some part of him knew this was wrong. That they were just thinking about all they'd been through and using each other for substitutes for what they'd lost. But it felt so right and he hadn't been with anyone since Nyssa left. Kat was the first woman that had been able to turn him on. He'd tried to get with skanks since then but he was never interested in what they offered. That had messed him up more then anything. Maybe he'd always seen himself ending up with Mia before Nyssa but even while he was pining for Mia it was like his room had a turnstile and the girls just went around and around it. But after Nyssa he'd had no desire to start that back up.
Kat was kissing him back and running her hands over his shoulders and back and it felt really right. Even if he knew it was right now, not right forever. He knew if they went where they were heading they'd both regret it in the morning but he wasn't going to be the one to stop her. Maybe she was meant for him, not Leon. Maybe that's why all this shit happened. Maybe it was just fate playing her hand heavily as she seemed wont to do in Vince's life.
Kat was busy pulling Vince's tank top over his head. He realized what she was doing and helped her out. She ran her hands over his newly exposed flesh and gave in to her instinct to lick one of his flat little male nipples. He softly growled at her and claimed her mouth in a hard kiss again. While he was kissing her he was busy taking her shirt off her. She allowed him to remove her shirt and then when he moved lower with his kisses she threw back her head and moaned.
"Vince." She whimpered like a small wild animal. He picked her up and laid her down on her bed, he started to kiss her neck and shoulder and collarbone. He moved lower and kissed her tummy just below her belly button as he took her skirt off her. "Vince?"
"Yeah?" He rasped.
"Do you like my tummy?" She asked with her old insecurity.
"I love your tummy." It was flat, with slightly defined muscles, yet still soft and womanly. She was soft everywhere he was hard and that appealed to his maleness, his need to feel she needed him, needed him to be the strong one, the one to protect her and care for her. He used his beard to tickle her bare tummy and she laughed. He kissed it again to prove it then nipped her hip bone. She looked so amazing to him, even in the dark he could see her there with nothing on but white thong underwear that left little to the imagination, they were so white against her dark tan, her skin showing up in striking relief against the white of the sheets on her bed. He leaned over to kiss her again and she started biting on his neck and it was driving him nuts. He reached for the straps of her underwear to pull them off her. It was like they both came to at the same time, like someone hit them with cold water.
"This would be a huge mistake." They said in unison and laughed.
"We need to stop." Vince said and pulled her against him. "We don't know what we're doin."
"I know. I think we both know we don't want this kind of relationship when we're both still hung up on other people." Kat added.
"I know. But you feel so right. I know we'll be mad about it in the morning if we go where we were headed but there hasn't been anyone that managed to make me this into them since she left."
"Well, no one but Leon ever made me wanna rip their clothes off before so there you go." She giggled against his side, glad that they weren't gonna be awkward with each other after what happened.
"I should go home." Vince sighed.
"You could just stay. We don't have to finish what we started." Kat wasn't sure she wanted to be alone.
"You know how it's gonna look if we get found together like this?" Vince would stay if she really wanted him too but he didn't figure it was smart.
"You're right. I don't really care, but you have to. I know it's like an unwritten rule that you don't move in on your best friend's ex without permission, and especially not if they may still have feelings for each other." Kat sighed in frustration. She was always being turned on by men who never finished what they started. She was getting very sick of her virginity but she didn't really want to lose it with Vince in a one night friends with benefits session.
"I don't care just because of Leon. It's everyone and everything."
"I know Vinny, go home." She sighed again. He laughed.
"I know how you feel. I don't think I could stay here and not finish it. In fact I know I couldn't stay here and not. I'ma go home. I'll see you tomorrow. We'll discuss this when we're sober, Ok?"
"Sure." He leaned over her and gave her another kiss and it almost started all over again. He pulled himself away.
"Vinny?"
"Yeah Kitten?"
"Do you really think I'm pretty? You weren't just sayin' that?"
"Of course I think you're pretty Kitten. I meant what I said when I told you that no one since my ex made me want them like this. I could show you just how attractive I find you right now Kat but I think it's best I go home."
"Thanks Vince. You know you're the first person to ever tell me outright they found me pretty." She yawned. "I'm glad you like my tummy." She was already half asleep. She really crashed out hard from adrenaline and liquor.
"That's really too bad for those other men Kat. If we end up together I can see that working but we both have some thinking to do about Leon and Nyssa before we can make that decision with a clear conscious. And you have one of the prettiest tummies I've ever seen." He added as he walked out the door.
"You're right V. See you tomorrow." She yawned and rolled onto her side. She was asleep before Vince left her room, shirts in his hand. He tiptoed out of the house and home to his own. He got to his room and turned on his light. And there was Leon, sitting on his bed. He knew panic but he kept it inside. Leon knew. Vince could tell. He walked nonchalantly into his room and chucked his shirts on the pile of dirty clothes in the corner of the room. The dirty clothes pile had really gotten out of hand since Nyssa left and wasn't around to make him do his laundry.
"So, Leon. How's it goin?" Vince asked, conversationally. He didn't know what Leon was going to do; he figured he'd know before long.
"I been better." Leon answered. "Why'd you haveta go and do that Vince? I was gonna talk to her and you had to go and sleep with her." Leon seemed sad, not angry.
"Leon, I know you saw me go in her house. That's the only way you'd know where I was, the only way you'd know I was with her. Since you know I was only with her for 10 minutes tops I hope you know we didn't sleep together." Vince answered and threw himself down onto his bed on the opposite side of where Leon was sitting. "I know it's been a while since I was with a girl, but even so if I was gonna sleep with her it'd take more then 10 minutes." Vince looked over at Leon.
"But you were kissing her on her step and then you walked her into the house and closed the door. I know what I saw."
"Yeah." Vince sighed. "I'll admit that I went in there with the intention of sleeping with her. But we both knew it woulda been wrong and we both decided not to go through with it. For all her trash talkin' and for being sexy as hell I don't really think Kat's been with enough men to handle casual sex. And we both knew that all we were offering each other was comfort. We couldn't do it."
"You mean that Vince?"
"Yeah. We just kissed. I mean I coulda physically, I'll admit I find her attractive. But I knew mentally it was wrong even when I went in there. She's still hung up on you and she's right when she said that I need to find Nyssa and work that shit out." Vince was so tired all of a sudden; he knew he was still wasted too.
"I don't know Vince. I mean she was all over you and then she took you home. Even if nothing happened, she still took you into her house. She thought about having sex with you Vince. You're my best friend.
"Yeah, but she's drunk, I'm drunk, she knew you watched us tonight and didn't even try to talk to her. She still thinks you don't want anything to do with her. I mean, we were together in her room and we stopped. I know I shouldn't even have gone over there but it was just the moment man. I swear nothing happened. Plus she saw you with that blonde bitch that always comes to these things." Vince looked at one of his best friends in the world and was really sorry he hurt him. But Leon had really hurt Kat. And if knowing that Vince found her sexy as hell made any of that a little better then it was worth it.
"I guess. But Damn. You were all over her Dawg. And I didn't know she saw me with Kandi." Leon had to know if Vince had a thing for Kat.
"I was all over her, but it was mostly for show. At least up till the time at her door. The other stuff was just friends show'n off." Vince yawned. "Besides the fact that I'ma find Nyssa and work it out Kat's still totally hung up on you. But I'm pretty sure that she doesn't know why you liked her. She doesn't seem to think men find her pretty." Vince was half asleep. He'd had a lot to drink.
"I know. She doesn't think of herself as a girl in a way." Leon answered. "I'm tempted to go talk to her now." Leon looked at the door.
"Man, she crashed out before I left her room. She's asleep. I'm about to be asleep." Vince yawned again.
"Well then, g'night man. See you in the morning." Leon got up to leave. He turned back to his friend at the door. "Thanks for not, well.Doin' it man. And thanks for lookin' out for her. I gotta admit I listened to you two talk and I did act stupid with her, no matter what she did and I guess in a way I had it comin' that she turned to someone else for comfort." Leon figured he'd admit he eavesdropped now while Vince was tired and drunk. Even Leon didn't wanna mess with an angry Vince, but he figured he could take him drunk and exhausted.
"I knew you were there." Vince answered. "That's why I had her tell the whole story." And with that he started to snore.
Leon chucked despite himself and left the room, turning off the light on his way out and shutting the door. He had a lot to think about.
