"Bradley?" I asked my voice full of disbelief.
"Hey. Can I come in?" he asked.
"Kate? Who is this?" John asked.
"This is Bradley, my ex-boyfriend." I said. I looked at him guiltily. John looked furious. I should have told him about Bradley. I mean, he told me all about his past and I told him how I got captured by the Mogs and how I escaped them and that was it.
"Can I have a word? Privately?" he asked. I nodded and motioned for Bradley to stay outside. John closed the door. Sam was still in the bathroom taking a shower.
"Why did it never come up that you had a boyfriend?" John asked.
"It wasn't important." I said.
"Not important? Not important? I think it is important now that he is standing outside our motel room! And how the hell does he know your name!" John yelled.
"Fine I'll tell you what happened. It was about three years ago, two years after I escaped the Mog base I had moved to a small town in Tennessee. I was fifteen and my name there was Kate Pendleton. Bradley was an outcast like me and over time I guess I developed feelings for him and we started going out. It was the first time I had ever felt like I belonged. But then Bradley started to change. He became too different and he broke up with me. I felt devastated and I grew carless. I was almost caught by the Mogs again. So I left one night. I vanished as if I had never been there. I never ever thought that I would see him again." I told John. He looked at me with sympathy and pulled me into a comforting hug. Then he whispered: "Do you want me to kick his ass for you?" I laughed and pulled away.
"Thanks but I think I could take him by myself" I said. John smiled and then he opened the door.
"Come in." he said kindly but there was no mistaking the edge in his voice.
"Kate…" he started but I cut him off with a raised hand
"How did you find us?" I asked.
"I was driving to Ohio to visit family and my car broke down. So I called the mechanics and the nearest they can be here is tomorrow so I walked down to the motel and I saw you walk in so I followed you to your room. I wanted to say that I want to give it another shot between you and me. Last time around I was a jerk."
"No kidding" John muttered. Bradley shot him a look.
"I think that we should give it another shot. I promise that I will be better this time. Will you please give me another try? The past three years you've been on my mind and I need another chance. Please?" Bradley asked. I looked at him, shocked. I thought about how great I felt with Bradley but there was John as well. Bradley was great but he would never stick around, John would. And I really liked John.
"Bradley, you're a great guy but I can't trust you. Not after what you did." I told him. A look of rage passed over his face. He stepped towards me until we were so close we could have kissed and he whispered menacingly in my ear "We aren't done yet." John pushed him away from me.
"Back off or I kick your ass into next week." John said.
"Right, like you could even throw me?" Bradley asked with a laugh.
"You would be surprised." John said. Bradley turned around and walked out the door laughing at the thought that John could throw him.
"Well he's a major pain in the ass." John said. Just then Sam came out of the bathroom.
"Who is? You aren't talking about me are you?" he asked. John and I laughed.
"No, we aren't. But you are a pain" John said. Sam looked at me.
"You are." I said seriously. Then I looked at John and we both started laughing.
"So who's the pain in the ass you were talking about?" Sam asked.
"Bradley." John said. Sam looked at him.
"Six's ex." John said.
"Six had a boyfriend? That's impossible." Sam said. I shook my head.
"His name was Bradley and he just visited us. He's also an ass." I said.
Sam looked shocked. I guess no one thought I could have a boyfriend.
"Wow! You had a boyfriend. Well John I guess you're just second best." He said. We all laughed.
"Let's go to bed now." I said and threw John and Sam two extra blankets that I had found. Then I climbed into bed and closed my eyes
(Line break)
When I woke up the entire place smelled like waffles. I got out of bed and looked around me. John was sitting at the table with a giant, and I mean giant, stack of waffles. I looked at the floor and Sam was still sleeping.
"Where did you get the waffles?" I asked him.
"It's part of the complimentary breakfast." He said.
"Did you wipe out the waffle supply?" I asked him. He nodded.
"Do you want me to take them back?" he asked. I answered him by taking five of them and wolfing them down. He laughed and we kept eating waffle after waffle. When there were eight left I stopped and looked at John.
"Should we save some for Sam?" I whispered. He shook his head and grabbed four and tossed me the last four. We finished them just before Sam woke up. When he did he took a deep breath.
"Did you have waffles?" he asked us. John and I shook our heads. Sam gave us a look.
"Then why does it smell like waffles?" Sam asked.
"Oh, it's air freshener." John said.
"Really!" Sam said with a look of awe on his face, "That's wicked. Can I have some?" he asked. I couldn't believe he was that stupid. I looked at John trying to keep a straight face. That worked for about three seconds before the two of us were on the floor laughing so hard our faces were red.
"What's so funny?" Sam asked.
"The fact that…you could…be so…stupid and…that you…believed…there was…such a thing…as waffle…smelling…air freshener." John said while trying to catch his breath but the moment that he finished we were laughing again.
"So you did have waffles?" Sam asked. I sat up and nodded while taking deep breaths.
"Could you have saved some for me?" Sam asked us.
"We could have, but we decided not to." John said with a smile.
"Thanks. I guess I'll just go down to the kitchen and get some more waffles." Sam said. I laughed.
"Good luck with that. John took all of them." I said. Sam grumbled and sat down at the table.
"Okay it's time to leave." I said. We went outside and I checked us out. Then we climbed into the car. Sam kept complaining the entire way so I pulled over at a McDonald's and got him some breakfast. We drove until we reached the Kentucky airport.
"I'll get the tickets." I said. John looked at me.
"How will you get them? We have no credit card and paying for three tickets in cash is really suspicious." John said. I sighed.
"You have to make everything so impossible." I said and he just shrugged.
"You could always be like Moses and use your awesome powers to split the ocean and we could just walk to Europe." John suggested. I groaned and started to walk by him. I bumped into him and I turned around to say sorry and I found myself kissing him. Before it got too serious I pulled away from John.
"S-Kate…" John started.
"I can't. I just can't." I said and ran away from him pretending not to see the hurt in his eyes.
