Chapter 25 Take Me With You
Brandon shifted to his side and reached for Kelly. He opened one eye and let out a groan not feeling her there. He lifted his head slowly and saw her look up from packing up her overnight bag. "Uhh." he groaned again, "Why are you dressed? It's not really morning…all the clocks in the world are wrong." Brandon said with a sexy smile as he sat up.
Kelly laughed lightly, "Nice try…I got to go, I have to swing by campus and turn in a paper and I have to finish packing, my flight leaves pretty early tomorrow."
Brandon took a deep breath and watched her continue to shove clothes into her bag. Kelly started to look around the room. "What cha looking for?" Brandon said seductively.
Kelly leaned up and looked at him. She gave him a small smile putting her hands on her hips, "My underwear." she nodded, pursing her lips together.
Brandon's smile grew as he reached down under the covers, pulling up the red lace panties swinging them on his index finger. "These underwear?"
Kelly shook her head leaning in and attempting to grab them. Brandon pulled them back quickly. Kelly sighed with a smile, " Honey…I really got to go."
Brandon nodded, "Ok…fine, leave me unsatisfied." he held them out again.
Kelly reached for them again and this time Brandon wrapped his arm around her waist bringing her in as he brought her on top of him. They kissed deeply for several seconds and Kelly moaned softly as she pulled away, "Better?" she said in a baby voice.
"Almost." Brandon said with a smile leaning in and kissing her again. He softly glided his tongue against hers moving his hand to the back of her head. Brandon moved both hands firmly down her back, stopping at her butt and giving it a gentle squeeze. "closer." he whispered.
Kelly pulled away and laughed, "You want to make me late don't you?" she joked as Brandon moved his kisses down her neck.
"Ummmm yeah." he said nodding his head.
Kelly sighed with a smile, she ran her fingers through his hair looking down at him. They got lost in each others eyes for a moment as they turned serious. Kelly took a deep breath, "I love you Brandon."
"I love you." Brandon tilted his head to the side running his hand through her hair and keeping it on the side of her head. "I know you have to go, I am just going to miss you that's all." Brandon said sincerely.
Kelly tilted her head too, "Me too." she leaned down and gave him a lasting long peck.
Brandon spanked her on the butt, "Alright…get out of here. I'll call you later."
Kelly gave him a nod and started to push herself up. She looked down at him and looked into his crystal blue eyes. He gave her a sad smile and widened his eyes, "Oh Kel…Wait a second…I was going to wait until later but just in case Donna and David and whoever else is hanging out tonight…" Brandon sat up and reached into his nightstand drawer. He pulled out a velvet black box that had a neat red bow wrapped around it. He held it out to her with a shy smile, "Merry Christmas Kel."
Kelly sighed touched looking down at it and then back at him, "What did you do, Christmas is a week away."
"I know, but since we will be spending Christmas apart, I wanted to be here when you opened it. Oh and a card." He smiled at her.
Kelly ran her finger along the flap taking out the card. She pulled it out and smiled reading the front, "To my love…" she opened it, "Merry Christmas Baby…Kel, I have wanted to kiss you since the moment I saw you and I haven't wanted to stop since. You are the most beautiful woman I know. I wanted to get you something special to show you how much I love you on our first Christmas together as a couple. And too many more to come. With love always, Brandon." Kelly looked up at him and smiled, "You are so sweet."
Kelly beamed happily. She took the gift and gave him a small smile as she started to pull the bow off. She carefully pulled the box open and in it laid a beautiful silver bracelet. "Brandon." She breathed out, "It's beautiful." Kelly took it out of the box and admired it. Brandon reached over and undid the clasp putting it on her wrist. She looked at it on her wrist and looked up at him. She gently set her hand on his face and leaned in and kissed him gently. "I love it." She said lingering close to him.
"I am glad." Brandon said sweetly.
The two looked at each other in silence. Kelly gave him a naughty smile tossing the box to the side and leaning in again to kiss him. This time she pressed her body against him forcing him to lie down. As they kissed passionately Brandon smiled mid kiss, "I thought you were going to be late."
Kelly smiled devilishly, "I was but now I have to give you your gift." She straddled him and kissed him again.
Brandon groaned with his eyes closed, "I love the holidays." He said playfully, taking his hand to the back of her head, placing his other on her thigh and deeply kissing her back.

Donna moved her fingers through her hair as she shuffled sleepily out into the living room. She began to make coffee as she heard David's bedroom door open. Within a second Valerie came out, "Good morning Donna." Valerie said chipper.
Donna turned and gave her a fake smile, "Morning," she said short turning back around continuing to make coffee with a roll of her eyes.
"I am off to school; I will probably see you later though." Valerie continued her chipper mood opening the back door. "Have an amazing day." Valerie said with a smile, closing the door behind her.
Donna rolled her eyes again and mimicked, have an amazing day, tilting her head back and forth making fun of her. Donna made a disgusted face taking her finger and placing it almost in her mouth pretending to gag herself. She hit start on the coffee maker and turned resting her back against the counter. "Tramp." She mumbled crossing her arms. Her attention turned toward the hallway as loud music blared from David's room. Donna sighed heavily through her nose as the words…finally…it's happened to me, blasted through the house.
Donna stomped off into the hallway and glanced into David's room, he was getting dressed, moving around his room, dancing happily.
"Grrrr." Donna shook her head, stomping into her bedroom slamming the door.

Dylan stood at the counter in the quad waiting for his change. As the student handed it over he dumped it into the tip jar they had out. He felt hands wrap around his eyes.
Dylan smiled recognizing the perfume instantly, "Ahhhh…Brenda?" he said pretending to be unsure.
Brenda let go as he turned around and smiled, "You better say that." She said with a smile.
Dylan leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, "I knew it was you…"
"Probably because you felt my belly hit your back before my hands got there, it was either me or a whale."
Dylan shook his head, "That was actually my next guess." He joked.
Brenda gave him a dirty look as he grabbed his coffee wrapping his arm around her, "I am only kidding Bren…I recognize your scent from a mile away." He leaned in and took a whiff of her hair.
"Oh and now I smell…" she gave him a hard time.
Dylan laughed, "Bren…you are driving me crazy." He concluded playfully. "Plus how am I supposed to keep you barefoot and pregnant if you get so down on yourself with the first one." Dylan raised an eyebrow.
Brenda looked at him shocked and terrified, "Ok…let's get through this one first huh, what's gotten into you? You're smiling, you're making jokes and you're talking long term commitment..." Dylan laughed, "You are scaring me." Brenda joked as they moved to a near by table. They sat down next to each other and Brenda leaned in looking at him, "What's up with you?"
Dylan kept his smile as he shook his head, "Am I that moody all the time? I am in a good mood." Dylan leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I am happy, I am in love with you…and I haven't had sex in months and have gotten it three times in the past 24 hours." Dylan raised his eyebrow as he leaned out from her.
Brenda chuckled, "Ah I see, the truth comes out." She shook her head playfully taking a sip of her water. "What about Toni? Any idea what you are going to say to her?" Brenda turned serious.
Dylan shook his head slowly, "I don't know."
Brenda cleared her throat, "Well, you better think about it soon…because she is coming this way."
Dylan sighed and didn't turn around, he didn't want to make it obvious. She approached them cautiously.
"Hi." She said sweetly as she stood next to the table. She smiled at Brenda and then at Dylan realizing they had obviously made up. "Can I sit down?"
Brenda nodded nicely moving her bag off the chair so she could sit across from them.
Dylan sat quiet at first, letting Brenda make small talk with her. And then he just decided to ask, "Toni…do you know who Jack McKay is?"
Toni looked down nervously, "Your father?" she looked up at him looking guilty.

Kelly was moving around her room, folding clothes and packing them in her suitcase. She heard the back door open, "Donna…is that you?"
"Yeah." She breathed out leaning against the door frame looking in at Kelly.
"What's wrong?" Kelly noticed her sad face from a mile away.
Donna sighed and walked into Kelly's room and flopped down on the bed onto her stomach , "I don't know…I am in a funk I guess, when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Can I come with you?" Donna whined.
Kelly tilted her head, "You don't want to celebrate your birthday or Christmas with your family?"
Donna looked at her sadly, "I do…I just want to get out of here for a little while."
The backdoor opened again and both Kelly and Donna looked toward the hallway as they heard the sound of giggling getting closer to them. Valerie and David danced past Kelly's room kissing all the way to his bedroom. They were so enthralled with each other that they didn't pay attention or notice Kelly or Donna on their way past. Kelly shook her head and walked to her door, "Eww get a room." She joked.
"We have one thank you." Valerie called out as David's bedroom door closed.
Kelly shook her head and closed hers as well.
"That's why I want to go Kel. I don't think I can sit here alone in this apartment with them. I mean you are going to be spending Christmas with Brenda and Dylan and the agency paid for your hotel for before. Can't I just tag along?"
Kelly looked sadly at her friend, "Of course you can Don, but going away for Christmas isn't going to make Val and David disappear." Kelly sat on her bed and rested her hand on Donna, "I know you love him…but you guys want different things, you need to try to move on."
Donna looked at Kelly with tears in her eyes, "I know…it's just that…I know we still love each other and it just seems so stupid that we aren't together because I won't have sex with him…and now he is sleeping with her. I even told him I would because I didn't want to lose him."
Kelly shook her head, "Donna…that's not you. You would never throw away all your beliefs to keep a guy. That never works anyway, maybe sex wouldn't be the issue but something else would…and you don't know if they are having sex."
"Well they did last night." Donna sat up.
"How do you know?" Kelly looked at her curiously.
"I ran into him coming out of the bathroom with condoms in his hand. Then this morning he was overly happy and playing music."
Kelly smirked, "Oh come on Donna, David always plays music and getting condoms doesn't mean anything. Boys start carrying around condoms when they are like 15...I think its wishful thinking."
"Maybe…but do they leave a girl in the bedroom and go to the bathroom in their boxers to get them?" Donna looked at her knowingly.
Kelly took a deep breath and rubbed down her shoulder, "Go pack…I am sure Brenda and Dylan won't care if we add one more for Christmas.
Donna gave her a small smile, "Thanks Kel."
Kelly nodded her head as she watched Donna leave her bedroom. She understood, Kelly wouldn't want to stick around alone and watch Brandon if the roles were reversed. She continued packing, tomorrow was a big day, she was excited for her shoot and to hang out with Brenda but not excited to leave Brandon.
Please review! Were you surprised David and Valerie went through with it? Thanks for reading, more updates to come.
