AN-Moving right along! OK, here is chapter 10.
Katie walked down the hallway of her school. Charlie walked up to her, draping an arm around her waist.
''Hey you.'' he said, kissing her temple.
She smiled softly and leaned her head on his shoulder. "School is boring.''
''It is.'' he agreed. "Wanna go find an empty classroom?''
Katie lifted her head and looked at him, knowingly. "And do what?''
He just grinned. Katie blushed and pushed him away. ''No Conway. Get your mind out of the gutter.''
"Yes dear.'' he muttered.
Katie smiled and kissed his cheek.
"But you can't honestly tell me you don't think about it.'' Charlie said.
Katie rolled her eyes. "Of course I do. But unlike my horny boyfriend, I don't think about it ten times a day.''
Charlie had the decency to blush. The bell rang and Katie kissed him quickly before running off to class.
After school let out, Katie was lounging around her dorm room. Maddie walked in and smiled.
''Guess what?'' she asked.
''No clue.'' Katie muttered, turning the page of her book.
''I have a date tonight.'' Maddie said.
She walked over to the closet and began selecting clothes. "With who?''
"Daniel Clark.''
''Are you serious? Maddie, the guy is a jackass. He treats women like crap. Why are you going out with him?'' Katie demanded.
"He asked me.''
''This doesn't have anything to do with Dean, does it?''
''Kat, we've back from the cabin for a week now, and nothing! He was obviously crazy that night and is regretting ever kissing me.''
"So, this is your revenge?'' Katie asked.
"Not revenge, I'm moving on.'' Maddie corrected.
''Does Dean know about your date?''
''No...but if you happen to see him...''
''I'll accidentally tell him.'' Katie said.
Maddie hugged her. ''Thanks Kat!"
"Yeah, yeah.'' Katie said, going back to her book.
Someone knocked on Katie's dorm room. She got up to answer it, smiling when she saw Charlie.
''Hey Spaz.'' she said, kissing him.
''Hey, where's Maddie?'' he asked, walking inside.
''On a date.'' Katie said, closing the door behind him.
Charlie walked over to the bed and sat down, picking up her discarded book. "Good for her.''
''Yes, she was very excited.'' Katie muttered, laying down next to him.
Charlie kissed her softly and opened her book. ''Want me to read to you?''
"I feel like I've fallen into a teen drama.'' she remarked.
''Good point.'' he put the book down. ''I'd rather do this.''
He kissed her, softly at first, then it grew more passionate. He rolled on top of her, his hands wandering under her shirt.
''Charlie.'' Katie murmured.
He started kissing her neck softly.
''Charlie...wait.'' she murmured.
His hand traveled down her stomach, landing on her zipper. He began to pull...
''Charlie stop!'' she exclaimed.
He blinked in surprise as she pushed him off of her. "Kat?''
She shook her head, rolling away from him. With her back turned, she zipped up her pants and tugged her shirt down. Once she was finished, she turned to glare at him.
"What is with you, Spaz?'' she demanded.
''I...I thought's that what you wanted.'' he said.
''Charlie, I kept telling you to stop.''
''I thought that was encouragement.'' he admitted.
Katie shook her head. ''I knew it.''
''Knew what?''
''We had sex and now, that's all you want. We used to sit and talk or just lay together. Now, all you want to do is get in my pants.''
"That's not fair, okay? I am a teenage boy, and it may be a stupid excuse, but I want you Kat. I want to be with you...I thought you wanted to do it again.''
''I do...but Charlie, it's all you think about.'' she said.
''No, it's not. Why do you automatically assume that?'' he demanded.
"Because you're a guy.'' Katie said.
''I'm tired of getting blamed for wanting you, Kat. When you're done with your hissy fit, let me know.'' Charlie snapped.
Katie sank down onto the bed, wincing as he slammed the door behind him.
Dean trudged behind Tammy and Fulton feeling very much like a third wheel. Why he ever agreed to go out with them was beyond him. He knew he's be subjected to being third wheel. Maybe he was punishing himself for losing Maddie. Maybe he was trying to make himself as miserable as she was last year. Maybe he was...seeing Maddie in the Cafe with another guy.
He froze, anger flowing through his body. Maddie...was on a date. His first thought was to walk inside and give that guy a piece of his mind. How dare he make a move on her.
His second thought was more rational. Maddie had rejected him, and now she was obviously over whatever happened between the two of them over vacation.
His third, and final thought canceled out the other two as he realized who Maddie was on a date with.
So, without another thought, he walked inside and directly over to their table.
''Hey Mads.'' he said.
He grabbed a chair from another table and turned it around, straddling it. He smiled at Maddie. ''What's up?''
"What are you doing here, Dean?'' she asked.
"Excuse me, but we are on a date here.'' Daniel said.
''Good for you.'' Dean said, not looking at him. ''Come on, Mads. Are you trying to make me jealous, or do you really like this guy?''
"I am trying to enjoy my date, Dean. Maybe you should go find Jenna.'' she snapped.
Dean's face fell, and Daniel grinned. ''Yes, go find Jenna. Maddie, what would you like order?''
"That was last year. Can't you see you mean more to me then she ever could.'' Dean said, quietly.
Maddie looked at him, her eyes locking with his. "Why couldn't you figure that out last year, when I wanted you.''
''You're going to sit there and honestly tell me that you feel nothing for me. Nothing at all.''
''Maddie, would you like me to get rid of him for you.''
Both Maddie and Dean turned to him. ''Shut up, Daniel!'' they yelled in unison.
Daniel cleared his throat, clearly embarrassed. "Fine I'm leaving.''
He stood up, eyeing Maddie as if saying, ok stop me at any time. She didn't though, and he finally took the hint and left.
"Maddie, all I'm asking is do you feel the same way for me that you did last year.''
Maddie bit her lip, and finally nodded. Dean couldn't help but smile. ''Well, then let's start over. May I join you for dinner?''
''I don't think Daniel would...he left.'' Maddie said, looking at the empty seat in surprise.
Dean scratched his head. ''Uh yea, about five minutes ago.''
''Oh...well in that case, yes. I'd love to have dinner with you.''
Dean grinned and took Daniel's empty seat.
''This means nothing though, you still have to prove I'm not another conquest.'' Maddie said.
"I know.'' Dean said. "But, it's a start.''
Katie was having an internal problem.
On one hand, she wanted to go to Charlie's room and make up. She wanted to kiss him and love him.
On the other hand, she was still pissed off at him.
A knock on the door drove all thoughts out of her mind. She opened the door.
''Hey.'' Charlie said.
''Hey.'' she said.
''Can I come in?''
She stepped aside and he entered. She closed the door and he turned to face her.
''I'm sorry.'' they both said.
''Why are you sorry?'' they both said, again.
Charlie chuckled and Katie grinned. They embraced each other.
"I'm sorry for being such a horn dog.'' Charlie murmured.
''I'm sorry for being such a bitch.'' she murmured.
''We don't have to jump right into sex. We can wait some more, if you want to.'' Charlie said.
Katie smiled at him. ''Charlie, I feel horrible. I mean, here you are telling me that we can wait, even longer. And here I am, after telling you I wanted to do it again.''
''Kat, it's fine. I love you, and I don't want to push you to do something you don't want to do.''
Katie smiled. ''But, I do want to.''
He glanced at her, quizzically. She just smiled and walked over to the door and opened it, placing her hair band on the knob. Then she closed the door and locked it.
''Just in case Maddie comes home early.''
She moved forward and began to kiss him.
''Kat, earlier you didn't want to, now you do?'' asked Charlie, confused.
''I wasn't in the mood earlier.'' she muttered, kissing him.
Charlie just sighed, never understanding woman. He then picked her up and carried her to the bed.
And as those two lovers held each other afterwards, as happy as they were, they both felt as if a crack had formed in their relationship.
AN- And here is where we end. Don't know when I'll update next, but it will be soon.
