Hello Everyone! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while. I have been so busy with school it's not even funny! But I had some free time today while waiting to go to dinner. So I hope that you like and hopefully I will be able to write something soon. :)
Enjoy!

Chapter 27

Our shower ended with no touching and no signs from Kevin that he was in the mood for such a thing. Maybe out of consideration for what had almost just happened at school? Or maybe it was because he really was mad at me and touching me would make things worse? Either way, the fact that he hadn't touched me was bugging me.

I found myself sitting on his bed, wearing his shirt and my own underpants while playing a game on his phone. He laid beside me, propped up against the pillows with his arm wrapped around my waist. I felt happy just like this; the two of us together, even if we weren't talking. But I had a feeling that if we started talking now, things would come up; things that neither one of us were prepared to talk about. Regardless, I still couldn't help the shaky feelings that were racing through my body.

"Edd," Kevin said, breaking through the silence.

I looked over my shoulder at him to see his eyes closed and a relaxing expression across his face. I smiled and turned back to my game, "yes Kevin?"

"You're going with me to homecoming right?"

The question stopped my thoughts. How could he just ask me something like that? Wasn't it already a given that he and Nazz were going together? They did all the other years. And besides, two men going to a social event like that would be taken the wrong way and people would become disgusted. Wouldn't they? Maybe I was thinking too much into this. If Kevin and I just wanted to show up together as friends then no one would have a problem right? Well, maybe Nazz would.

I placed the phone in my lap and smacked my cheeks a few times. "Ah, what's wrong with me?"

"Hmm," I heard from behind me.

"Ah," I turned to look at Kevin who was no wide eyed and looking straight at me. "Nothing."

Kevin just stared at me for a moment before his mouth opened. "You know, you think too much on things Double D."

I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I knew he was right, he tended to always be right when it came to situations like that. But I still had to look away from him. It wasn't my fault that unnecessary thoughts were always popping up into my head. This was my first real relationship, and with the person that I truly wanted to be with. Of course I would have constant questions and having almost everyone against me made it even harder. I mean, it wasn't like I could talk to Eddy about this sort of thing. Sure he liked to think that he was all that with the ladies, but this was another guy. And to make matters worse it was his "enemy". I highly doubt the Eddy would be so understanding if I told him that I was in love with Kevin.

"I know," I finally managed to say as I slipped my hands into my lap to hold the phone. "I don't mean to."

Kevin sat up and rested his chin on my shoulder, "what have you been thinking about?"

Before I could stop myself, 'Nazz' left my mouth. I cupped a hand over my treacherous lips and turned my head to look at Kevin. His eyes were wide and he stared off towards the end of the bed. But after a couple minutes he closed them again and wrapped both his arms around my waist.

"Why," he squeezed me gently. "What does she have to do with anything?"

I bit my lip but decided it best to tell him what I was thinking and really feeling. "Well, you have gone with her every other year so I figured that it would be the same as before. And besides, two guys going together would seem strange, wouldn't it? I know Eddy would throw a fit if I showed up with you and not him and Ed. I mean, he is already mad at me for not spending a lot of time with him recently."

Kevin chuckled softly from beside me. "So then how about you go with the two dweebs and I can go with Nazz and then we can just hang out together so that no one thinks things like that?"

I pouted at the thought of him showing up with Nazz. "But..."

Kevin tilted his head on my shoulder so that he could look at the side of my face, "or do you want me to go alone?"

I looked at his phone that still rested in my lap, "no. I mean, you and Nazz will probably be King and Queen anyway. What's the point of the two of you going separate when it's just a given that that will happen?"

"Oh," Kevin said as he leaned back against the pillows, keeping on arm wrapped around my waist just like before.

"What," I twisted my body so that I could look at him.

"You think that after the dance Nazz and I will wind up together doing something that you want, right?" A smirk crossed his face and I could feel the heat in my cheeks rising. I had to look away from him.

"I was thinking that first part, yes." His hand slid towards my side and I shivered.

"Don't worry," he spoke softly. "I wouldn't do anything to make you any more upset then you already are. And you don't have anything to worry about. I have told you this before but I love you Double D, only you. I promise."

I could feel the tears starting to gather in my eyes. "I know." I turned my entire body so that I was now facing him. "I love you, too, Kevin."

As a smile crept over his face I leaned over and kissed his lips softly. When I pulled away to look at his face he looked shocked but pleased. I leaned forwards once more and kisses him, much more passionately this time and found a kiss in return. But our kiss was short lived as his phone started going off. He pulled me so that I laid beside him, my head resting on his chest with the rest of me tucked under his arm, his hand resting on my hip. But when my eyes met his gaze he looked anything but pleased.

He looked down at me, "it's Nazz."
