Chapter 16
"You're leaving?"
Kate's POV
Richie and I lay facing each other, our hands entwined and occasionally he would steal kisses. He had to take his glasses off because they got in the way.
"Richie" whispering I bit his bottom lip which seemed to wake up, grinning sleepily at me he wrapped his free arm around me
"Now we're talking"
I giggle as he tried to kiss me but the memory of the bag in my closet seemed to come through the thick fog of lust
"Richie, did you rob the bank in Wichita?"
Sighing he leaned on his elbow "Yes"
I knew there was something about the Geckos,
"Is that why you moved here?"
"Yes"
Sighing "Explain Richie"
"It's what me and my brother do Kate, we've got to earn a living, it's the only way we know our dad was a mean son of a bitch our upbringing wasn't like yours. We can't just forget it and live our lives as clerks or security guards our old man pointed a gun at Seth's head a couple of time, timing how fast Seth could piece a gun together"
My eyes widened "Seriously" he nodded
O my goodness!
"Now can we please stop talking, all I want to do is be herewith you"
Smiling softly I nodded and stroked his cheek making him close his eyes
O I love him…wait what!
Seth's POV
When Vanessa had gone to sleep, locking our bedroom door to avoid me getting in, I stepped over the fence into the fuller's garden and climbed my way up to Kate's room.
Knocking repeatedly her back window opened and my brother's head popped out, his hair sticking in every direction and the bastard just grinned at me
"Hey brother"
"Let me in"
Rolling his eyes he moved out of the way and I boosted myself through the window
Kate's POV
I couldn't believe this
Both Geckos were in my room, I clenched my legs together
Seth looked at me from where I was sitting on my bed he smiled and walked to me
"Hey princess"
His lips connected to mine, I moaned out load he bit my bottom lip
"Your folks are in"
I seriously needed my own place, parting from me I suddenly felt cold
Richie opened my closet and gave Seth the bag
"You have no idea how much you just saved our asses Kate" Seth looked appreciative over to me "Cops didn't find anything" and then looked to Richie who seemed to shake his head
"Not a chance"
Seth sighed "Richie I don't want this either"
"I'm not leaving her" Richie's voice raised a little and my heart dropped
"You're leaving?"
Both brothers looked over at me both we pained expressions
"Kate…"
Standing up I crossed my arms "No, don't Kate me"
"We have to alright" Seth handed his brother the bag "Something has come up and we can't stay here" stroking my cheek I couldn't help but lean into him "I'm sorry Kate"
Backing away from him I tightened my arms around my chest which do doubt held my bleeding heart in it was then I realized I loved them both. I loved the way Seth smiled, I loved the way Richie fixed his glasses, I loved how Seth called me princess, I loved Richie for how tortued he was and I loved the way they made me feel.
"I love you"
Both of them stopped
"Yeah I love you both, you can't leave me"
Even Richie looked pained before he siddenly twitched
Richie's POV
"That's right Richard, you made her care for you now take her"
"No" mumbiling I rubbed my head
"Richie" Seth grabbed my shoulder and I saw the goddess standing behind Kate
"Take her Richie, she belongs to you now, set her free" she hissed
"No" I didn't think twice about it I climbed out of the window, jumped to the ground and ran
Seth's POV
What in the actual fuck!
I saw Riche run back in the house.
"He sees things"
Turning to Kate she looked so small now, her arms still wrapped around her like she was afraid she would break I could see she was holding back tears and my chest ached.
Maybe I loved her too but I couldn't say that to her, I couldn't break her heart again
"What do you mean?" turning my body to her watery eyes connected with mine
Shit! There was no doubt I loved her
I took two steps and I hugged her to me, her arms wrapped around my waist, kissing her forehead we just stood in the middle of the room
"I want you to go"
My whole body froze; pulling back she looked up at me
"I can't see you tomorrow and know you and Richie might be gone" her voice broke, she bit her bottom lip and I felt like shit. "I'll just be wondering when you're going to leave me and I can't handle that"
Nodding I kissed her cheek and made a move but she held on tight, not that I was complaining
"Stay here please, just one last night"
Closing my eyes I leaned my forehead against hers "anything for you princess"
Kate's POV
When I was nine I broke my arm while climbing a tree.
When I was 12 Nathan elbowed me in the nose by accident
When I was 14 my grandmother died
None of those things hurt as much as my heart ached right now. at the age of 17 I had found loved not once but twice with brothers. Brothers who robbed banks for a living, brothers who were going to leave me.
In the darkness I memorized the shape of Seth
He had taken of his t shirt and slept in his pants, I memorized the pattern of his tattoo, the way his chest would rise and fall, how his breathing would be a little scratchy I never got to ask him that.
I snuggled in with him he muttered something before turning over so he was facing me his arms wrapping around my fragile body. I wouldn't cry not yet. Stroking his back softly I felt his breath on my forehead
I heard my window slid open gently my heart began to race, turning I saw it was Richie my heart calmed but didn't sooth the ache
He looked at me and smiled softly
"You ok" I asked
Nodding he got into my bed and hugged me from behind my right hand was on Seth my left hand was entwined with Richies right hand.
"I've told Seth I want you to go tomorrow"
He stiffened but didn't say anything
"I can't see you again knowing you'll be gone soon. It's too painful"
I felt him nod. Kissing the back of my head he whispered
"I guess we make this our last night"
Please don't cry I commanded myself.
I closed my eyes and just let myself feel bother brothers around me and feeling so safe and protected. I soon fell asleep.
(+)(+)(+)(+)
I was cold
I felt my cover around me but nothing else
They were gone
Finally after a long night of battling my heart broken tears streamed down my face.
Seth's POV
The drive in the morning was silent, Vanessa was happy we were leaving I saw Richie in the back seat. I creeped me out how quiet he was neither of us wanted to leave Kate but we knew we had to. She deserved a better life.
We were on our way Las Vegas, a place far from Kate maybe the booze will rid her from our thoughts. Not fucking likely
"Stop the car"
Vanessa turned to Richie "What"
"Stop the car" his voice cracked, shit!
Pulling over the car he didn't even wait for it to stop before jumping out
"What the fuck" Vanessa sat up and looked to Richie who walked back where we came. He mortherfucking wouldn't. Jumping out I chased after him
"Richie don't" I grabbed his arm and turned him round
"I have to see her, one last time"
"We can't"
He looked lost I remembered what Kat said
He sees things
Sighing I place my hand at the back of his neck "Just us now brother ok? Vanessa wants to go separately now, just us"
He nodded and I pulled him for a hug
"The Gecko brothers ride again" I said we pulled back and he fixed his glasses
"Here's to getting rich and fat" he smirked I smirked back
"And dying in the arms of a beautiful woman"
