Luckily for Kris, Laura's car was gone. But unluckily for Kris, so was Junior's. This was crazy anyways. She was acting like one of those pyscho ex-girlfriends who she hated. No, she was just going to turn around and go right home. Then she saw him. God, why did she she have so see him. She hated feeling her heart skip a beat and her stomach get all flustered. She also hated that she would never admit that she really loved that feeling. He had just entered the barn when Kris shot out of the car and quickly walked over there, hoping that no one would see her. This is it, Kris she thought to herself You've made it this far. Just go in and talk to him.
"Hi." She greeted, almost angrily. She was going to yell at him, get in his face, and tell him that he was crazy for kissing her when he was engaged. But with the slighted smiled and his face, that was impossible to do. She couldn't be mean to a smile like that. God, she felt like one of those girls who get all mushy and stupid when they're around a guy.
"Hey." He returned the greeting, but looked away from her.
"Where's your car?" She asked, just for small talk.
"Laura took it. Her's is in the shop."
"Oh." Kris replied simply. "I think we should talk." she added slowly while making her way into the room and shutting the door behind her.
"Uh, I'm kinda busy right now, but maybe later."
"Busy with what?" Kris asked, already knowing the answer. She saw the pearly white place cards and samples spread out across the desk. But she was going to make him say it.
"Wedding planning." He replied flatly, finally looking up at her.
"Right. The wedding that I'm supposed to be a braid's maids at."
"Kris, I'm sorry, I'll talk to her about that if you don't want to go through with it--"
"I think you're the one who shouldn't go through with it." She snapped back before he would finish.
"Don't do this, Kris." He said sternly but gently.
"Do what? Tell you not the marry the girl that you aren't in love with?" Kris asked sarcastically.
"I do love Laura." Junior replied harshly.
"You love her, or you're in love with her? There's a big difference."
"I don't have to explain myself to my ex-girlfriend." Junior said while standing up and leaning over the desk that separated him and Kris.
"You mean the same ex-girlfriend that you kissed yesterday?" Kris asked.
"That…" Junior lowered his voice, "was a mistake."
"Do you really believe that?"
"What's with all of the questions? If you came here to talk about it, then it obviously meant something to you." He got up and started pace slowly across the room.
"Of course it did." Kris replied softly. Junior stopped dead in his tracks. "What? You mean that's a surprise to you? Junior, I'm not going to lie to you and tell that I felt nothing when you kissed me. Because I did. That thing you were talking about, that feeling that you said never goes away? Now I know what you mean."
"Kris," Junior started while walking over to her. "You're putting me in a really weird position here. I'm getting married tomorrow."
"I know." Kris nodded and looked down, ready to cry.
"And I'm happy about that. I really do love Laura."
"That's great. That's great, Junior, really." She tried her hardest to appear to be happy for him and she felt a single tear run down her cheek.
"Yesterday was a mistake. Okay? I was confused, but now I'm not. Can we just leave it at that?" Those words hit Kris hard in the gut. It took her a while to regain her strength to talk.
"I should go." Kris spoke softly and weakly. She turned her back and started to walk out the door. "Tell Laura I'm sorry that I won't make it tomorrow." She called out behind her.
"Kris--" Junior started. But she shut the door behind her before she could hear anymore. She could handle the truth. She had to grow up the way. But it's different when what you hear is all lies.
