Ch.6 Discovering the Truth

I walked out the door with James following closely behind me. Junior stood in the doorway and watched me walk away. I figured he thought I'd turn back.

"Kris, wait!" Junior shouted and ran over to me. I didn't bother turning around, Junior came up behind me, took me by the arms, and spun me around.

"What?" I asked angrily.

"Can we please talk about this?"

"No." I responded quickly.

"I think you two should just sit down and talk." James said entering the conversation. "You guys are jumping down each others throats. Junior, Kris didn't sleep with me. I was just visiting; I'm a friend of her brothers. And Kris, I know Juniors' words hurt. But do you really believe that he meant what he said. He didn't, I could tell." He paused, "I'll let you two talk; see ya later." James waved and left.

I walked past Junior, and walked into the apartment. I walked over and sat on the couch and got comfortable. Junior followed and sat next me.

"I'm sorry for saying what I said." Junior said.

"What happened to what you felt the other night? What's with the sudden feeling changes?" I questioned.

"I don't know, I just," He paused, "I don't want to be in a relationship with you; because I don't want to get hurt again." Junior said while looking straight into my eyes; and a couple times glancing around.

"Junior, I'm sorry. But I can't forgive you right away. What you said really hurt, and you might not have meant it. But you still said it." I said looking at the ground. Then I looked back up into Juniors eyes.

"Yeah, I understand. Does this mean you're not leaving?" Junior asked.

"Yeah, I'm not leaving." I said as I headed for the bedroom.

"Kris?" I turned around.

"Yeah?"

"I love you." Junior said. I smiled, and turned around and walked into the bedroom to get ready for bed. Junior soon climbed into bed and put his arm around me. I turned my body so I could face him.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

Junior smiled, "I don't want to lose you. And this way, I'll know you're not going anywhere." I giggled at his cheesy line and we both soon fell asleep.
