Cat and I had just finished one of our dates. We went to the beach then came home to shower so we could go out for dinner. We walk in the door and see that nobody's home. We get a quick drink and sit at the kitchen table.
"I can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had these past couple weekends. I… I… ugh… thank you so much Robbie!" Cat gushes.
"You're welcome. I do the best for the best." I smile at her.
"Ok seriously we need to talk about this charmer thing you've got going on. It really is… overwhelming…" She smiles.
"Is this a bad thing?" I question her knowing the answer already.
"It depends on who you ask. I mean, I find that it can be a bit of a plan changer…" She seductively smiles at me.
"Well that kind of plan changing is always a good thing…" I reply.
"Yes, yes it is." She smiles.
"So do you want to go first?" I ask her. She grabs my hand and pulls me into the bathroom quickly.
"Or not…" I say under my breath. She laughs and starts to get undressed.
"Come on." She says pointing at me who is still fully clothed.
"Oh yea…" I say taking my shirt off.
"Pants too." She reminds me.
"I know. I know." I smile.
She turns on the water and we both get in.
After the shower we get dressed again. Cat goes upstairs and starts to blow dry her hair. I lean against the door frame and watch her as she does it. After a few minutes her hair finally dries. She gets up and walks over to me.
She leans in and kisses me. The passion in it was unbelievable. Our mouths open letting out tongues wrestle. We move slowly towards her bed trying not to trip on anything. I lay her down and crawl on top of her deepening the kiss.
"Why don't we skip dinner and go right to desert?" Cat pulls back and whispers seductively in my ear.
I can't help but smile. "I guess my charming is a plan changer..."
"Prove it." She whispers.
She pulls me back to her lips and kisses me again but this time more roughly.
One day before I leave
My parents were having a going away barbeque for me. They invited over all of my friend and my grandparents.
"Well… I guess this is goodbye. Or at least see ya in 4 years." Beck says giving me a hug. It wasn't normal because like Jade he never hugs anyone but her.
"Yea man. 4 years is a long time. Promise me that you won't stay for anything else and you'll come right back." Andre explains.
"Hell no. No way I'm going for more than 4 years. I hope to god I can finish in 3!" I smile looking over at Cat who is talking to Jade with tears in her eyes.
Tori walks over from Cat and gives me a big hug. "I'm gonna miss you Robbie." She says into my shoulder.
"I'll miss you too Tor."I reply.
Jade is hugging Cat when I look over again. She finally let's go and Cat wipes her eyes.
"You listen to me. If you let her go… I will hunt you down and rip your intestine out from your mouth. Then make you eat them again. Do you understand. You come back to her as soon as possible and you marry her because I have never see her so happy with someone. I'll give you 4 years. That's it. Anymore and I will –" Jade gets cut off by Beck.
"Ok I think her gets it babe." Beck helps me.
"Ok fine. Bye Robbie. I have to say you're not the nerd I thought you were. I'll miss you." Jade stands there with her arms crossed.
I take a step closer knowing this is my death sentence but I wrap my arms around her and give her a hug. "I'll miss you too Jade."
All of the sudden, Jade wraps her arms back around me and hugs me back. I can see everyone jaw drop. There were a couple gasps too.
"Ok ok. Get over it people. It's just a hug. I've done way more with Beck… way more…" She looks over at him and smiles.
"Ew…" Everyone says.
My grandparents come next. Mamaw starts, "I can't believe how fast you grew up… I want you more than anything to go to this school, but no matter what anyone says, if you need to come home because of Cat… you do it. I don't care why or when… you do it. I see the way you look at her. She's your soul mate." Mamaw finishes.
Gramps comes over and hugs me. "Good luck Kid. See you soon." With that everyone but Cat parents go inside to give us a minute.
"I really don't want you to go…" Cat says under her breath but I still hear it.
"This isn't goodbye. I refuse to say it. This is I'll see you later." I smile at her.
"Ok… I'll see you later then." She smiles back.
"You're mine forever, remember that." I whisper to her.
"I know." She smiles again.
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow morning then?" I ask.
"Bright and early." She says walking out the back gate. She gives one last wave and then she's gone.
One Day Later (the day I leave)
"Please! Please don't go!" Cat begs.
"I have to Cat. Trust me I don't want to leave." I try to explain.
"No you don't! You can stay here! With me!" She tries.
"I already sent in my conformation letter. I have to! You were the one who told me to go!" I tell her back.
"Why the hell do you have to be so freaking selfish?! I don't want to lose you! DO YOU EVEN CARE?!" She screams at me.
"OF COURSE I CARE! I DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN THE FIRST PLACE! IT WAS YOU, WHO MADE ME GO! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU EITHER BUT CAT, THIS IS MY FUTURE! I NEED TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS, I NEED TO FOLLOW MY FUTURE! AND YOU NEED TO, TOO! I'm sorry… I have to…" I quiet down.
"AM I NOT IN YOUR FUTURE!? AM I NOT PART OF YOUR DREAMS!?"
"CAT OF COURSE YOU ARE! You're the love of my life. I've never felt this way before. But please look at it from my perspective. This is my one chance to make something of myself." I explain still very angry.
"What? A computer nerd!? YOU HAVE SO MANY OTHER TALENTS! YOU COULD DO SOMETHING BETTER WITH YOUR LIFE!
"Not a computer nerd. I'm going to MIT to major in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Forensics. That's more than computer science. It's what I love. Cat I'm trying to make a life for myself. You can either support me and be in it or blow me off and not. It's your choice." I calmly explain to her.
"Of course I want to support you but it's kind of hard if your 3000 miles away and I don't know who you are with. For all I know you're with some skanky bitch!" She says angrily.
"SO NOW YOU'RE SAYING I WOULD CHEAT ON YOU? You know that's not true!" I shout.
"IT COULD HAPPEN! You know that!"
"CAT I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR US IN THE FUTURE!" I yell because I'm tired of the accusations.
"AND WHAT HAPPENS IF AFTER YOU LEAVE WE DON'T HAVE A FUTURE!" She yells back.
"I DON'T KNOW! BUT I WONT LET THAT HAPPEN! I NEED TO GO CAT! THIS IS MY DREAMS!"
"IF YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR… IF YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR… YOU LOSE ME!" She yells.
