Time
"What's the time?" Kelsi asked sitting back up in Troy's bed and glancing at his alarm clock. She blinked as she tried to focus in on the red numbers, ten-forty. "Shoot! I'm forty minutes late." She mumbled and scooted away from Troy in the dark and stood on the floor.
Troy groaned and sat up in bed. "But we were just getting relaxed." Troy said referring to their late night sleep fest that they were throwing. Just Troy, Kelsi and the darkness. It was enough to leave Kelsi in a bundle of tingling feelings. But curfew called, and she was already going to get yelled at for being late.
Kelsi pulled on her jacket and tossed her bag strap over her shoulder. "Yeah, I know Troy. But I have to go. My parents are going to kill me." Kelsi predicted as she fixed her hair and adjusted her shirt on her. It was amazing how ruffled up she got just laying next to Troy and softly kissing him.
Troy nodded his head and laid back down onto his bed. "I know! I just hate it, we hardly see each other anymore. You're busy, I'm busy." Troy mumbled and Kelsi felt bad for the guy. It was true, they were both so wound up in their own little lives, they hardly even saw each other. Kelsi hated it, but she didn't know what else to do.
"I know." She agreed and racked her brain for ways they could see each other. "How about next Friday? I have nothing, we could spend the whole night together." She promised and Troy nodded his head.
"I think I'm free." He stated and sat up in the bed and looked at Kelsi. "But if I'm not I am now. No way am I passing up time with my girl." He promised and Kelsi let out a laugh. She really loved Troy, he was really good to her.
"Yeah okay. So it's a date?" Kelsi asked reassuring what she already knew.
Troy answered in a nod and Kelsi turned from him. "See you!" Troy called out as Kelsi left his room and shut the door behind her.
Smiling to herself Kelsi realized how great she felt. Btu she always did when she walked away from being iwht Troy, life was just better being with him. If only time didn't always get in the way. It seemed like that all the time. There wasn't enough time, there was too much time, it was the stupid time factor that put them at a distance from each other.
Kelsi exited the Bolton household and walked to her car. She quickly unlocked the door and slid in. Friday would change things though, Kelsi knew, they would get the time that they wanted. They would get the time that they had been craving from each other for months.
Kelsi started up her car and drove away from the Bolton house. She looked back at it in her review mirror and was grateful she went over her time tonight, or else there wouldn't have been time for next time.
