Chapter 9 "Confessions"

It was Monday once again Phil was over at Keely's house studying for a test in Algebra curtsey of Mr. Hacket.

"Okay… remember at Otto's Pink Pig? We used veggies so maybe it would work with candy!" Keely held out her hands… they were full of assorted colored candy and chocolate. After playing around with it for about an hour, they were up in Keely's room watching TV on Keely's bed. They both were exhausted from staying up the past few nights making sure that tape was perfect and studying for the quiz. Phil knew he better head out soon before he crashed over there.

"Keely… I better go. I'm really tired." Phil said. He yawned and began to sit up.

"Okay. But first…." Keely wrapped her arms around Phil's neck and tilted her head and kissed him. Phil was so shocked he delayed putting his arms up for a second thinking it was a dream. He put her arms around her waist. She pulled away from his lips and hugged him tight.

"What was that about?" Phil asked. It wasn't like her.

"Well I wanted to thank you for helping me! But you better go… my mom isn't exactly happy you're still here." Keely said. She kissed his cheek and pulled him off the bed and to the window. He climbed out and climbed down the tree. He started to walk down the street but turned to look at Keely's window. He turned around and saw Keely looking back at him. He waved good-bye and she blew him a kiss. The lights went out and Keely went to bed. Phil stuck his hands in his pockets.

"So this is love," Phil said quietly to himself.

"So this is love," Keely said.

It was Tuesday morning and Keely was torn between two outfits. Jeans with a gray oval neck shirt over a hot pink tank top or jeans, a blue long sleeve shirt with a green tank top over it. Time to call Via.

"Via…. Hey I need your help! Okay… pink tank top under gray oval neck with jeans or blue long sleeves with green tank top over it? Pink? Okay thanks Via I owe you one!" Keely set the phone down and got dressed. She finished her hair and put on her shoes and made her way to her car. She drove over to Phil's house and parked in front of his window. She honked the horn to tell him to get a move on.

"Lets go Phil! We're gonna be late if you don't hurry it up!" Keely shouted hoping to get his attention. A few minutes later Phil emerged from his house wearing a white long sleeved shirt with yellow and navy stripes with a navy shirt underneath that said, "Enjoy" on it. Oh, I will Keely thought when she read his shirt. Phil pulled his tan chord hat down a little lower when he got outside. He opened the passenger door and stepped in.

"Hey! You're here… kinda… wow we gotta go huh?" Phil said looking at his watch. He clicked his seatbelt and looked over at Keely. She was focused on getting back on the road. Phil to his hat off and fixed his hair. He kept twirling that hat around and around. Nervous to be in the same car as her after the nights before.

"Phil… hun relax! It's okay." She took one hand off the wheel and grabbed his for a brief moment then replaced it on the wheel so she could get them both to school.

"Phil… what's wrong?" Keely couldn't understand why he was being so quiet.

"Nothing… just thinking about us…" Phil confessed.

"Time for a confession… just wait a sec ok?" Keely pulled into the back of the parking lot so they could get a little privacy.

"Fess up hun. I know when something is wrong, you always pull this look… it's extremely cute but sad… that one!" Keely pointed. Phil tried to go back to his normal straight face but he couldn't help but smile.

"Okay… but you have to promise not to laugh… or cry. Just promise to kiss me if you feel the same." Phil grabbed Keely's hands and laced their fingers together. The butterflies he tried so hard to keep away came flying back.

"Keely, I… I… I love you." Phil stuttered but he knew he couldn't go back after he made her promise.

"I love you too Phil. More than you know." She let go of his hands and wrapped them around the back of his neck. She pushed him towards her and moves her hands to the side of his hand burying her fingers in his black hair. Phil pushed her up closer. It was starting to heat up. Keely managed to climb over to Phil's side without ever letting go of him. She took his hand off her back and turned Phil and herself around. Keely's back was to the door and Phil faced her. Still kissing each other. Phil pressed Keely against the door and kissed her even more frantically than before. Their tongues were fighting for room. Phil pushed her closer and lifted his and Keely's laced together hands to the winder. Keely could feel the smooth glass on the back of her hands, She slowly slid them down put her hands back to Phil's cheeks. Phil's hands slid from her shoulders to her sides to the small of her back. He squeezed her tighter and she kissed him back passionately.

"Blondie? Phil… um okay… BAAAAADDDDD timing… buh-bye." Pim eyes widen with horror as she saw what Phil and Keely were doing.

"Yea Pim… ruin the moment… ugghhhh." Phil pulled away from Keely. Her eyes were open and a smile was on her face.

"Um… wow. That was… wow." Keely laughed out. She didn't know what to tell him after that. Kiss… she was speechless. She could hardly breathe at the thought of what they had just done.

"I loved it, I love you Phil. Thank you so much." Keely kissed him one last time and climbed out of the car. Phil grabbed his hat and followed her. Keely stretched her hand out waiting for Phil to take it. HE was surprised. Never before did she offer it to him at school. They were both ready to go public. Phil and Keely walked into H.G Wells High School hand and hand. They herd girls whisper to one another and heard boys moan in disappointment that some one had taken their "girl". Owen walked between them making Phil and Keely loose each other's fingers breaking the connection after trying do hard to keep it there.

"Keely, how could you trade my in for Phil? I mean no offence dude but me and Keely really had something there!" Phil tilted his head behind Owen. His arm was around Keely's back but she wasn't trying to get him off. Phil reached an arm out and tapped Keely's back. Owen kept talking about how Keely and Phil betrayed them and wasn't paying attention to the whisper conversation

"Keel… look at his arm!"

"Phil I know but if we play along he'll go away trust me." Keely gave him a promising smile.

"You better be right Keel. I love ya but I can't have another guy on you." Phil whispered. He flashed her his signature Phil smile and turned his attention back to Owen.

"Sorry to break this up, Owen but me and Keely really need to get to class. We'll talk later ok?" Phil tried to sound convincing but he wasn't exactly sure how Owen took it.

"Okay Phil but don't think we wont talk about this." Owen walked away and Phil pulled Keely to their lockers before anyone else could comment on them,

"I gotta go." Keely said kissing him on the cheek. "Love you." Phil felt his heart melt to the bottom of his chest.

"I love you too Keely. S much." He pulled her into a tight hug and then let her go so she could get to class. Phil looked at her up and down and thought how lucky he was, he had the most beautiful, funny, kind, loving girl in the school for his girlfriend. Nothing could ruin this. Nothing.
