Eventually the dance cleared out. It was closer to twelve than eleven when we left. I only had one foot inside the door when Martha spotted me.
"Well, hello dear!" she exclaimed rather loudly.
"Hello Martha, I hope you don't mind, but I was wondering if I could stay."
"Oh! Of course, darling! You'll have to sleep with Rick though, Alexis is getting her room repainted." She gave me an apologetic smile. I could feel my cheeks getting hot.
"That's fine Martha, thank you." I walked upstairs and sat on Rick's bed. He wasn't far behind me.
"Castle, I want to take a shower, do you have one up here?" I asked mostly innocently.
"Yeah, sure, right through this door." I didn't realize that the bathroom entrance was inside his room. He handed me a towel. Before I actually took my shower I did a fair amount of snooping. I found out that Rick's deodorant smelled good. I decided that I couldn't wait much longer, and took my shower. I realized my mistake as soon as I stepped into the shower, I forgot clothes. Now I would have to go into Rick's room in a towel, or less, and ask to borrow his clothes. Once I finished washing my hair and body I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel tightly around myself. I stepped into Rick's room and saw that he was waiting for me.
"Wow, I didn't know you could read books upside down."
His eye's flew to mine and he threw the book on the floor. I could see the lust clouding his dark blue irises.
"I can't." At some point during this brief conversation he had stood. I could feel the heat of his body radiating through his thin shirt. We weren't actually touching but if either of us moved forward in any way we would be. I longed for that. I wanted to feel his lips on mine. Suddenly that thought became a reality I closed my eyes and his soft velvet lips captured mine in a dance that I hoped would never end. His hands grabbed my hips and asserted just enough pressure to pull me forward into his body. We moaned simultaneously at the contact. I grinned into the kiss I was just about to push him down on his bed when the door to Rick's room flew open.
"Oh, my gosh! Guess what Ka...Were you guys just making out? Kate what are you wearing?" Alexis' eyes were wide and her expression, surprised. She practically flew down the stairs. Little did Kate and Rick know she was ecstatic at this new development in their relationship.
"Kate! What did you just do?" I turned to Rick.
"Me? I distinctly remember you kissing me!" I yelled right back in his face. He closed his eyes.
"Kate, you need to get dressed, it's too hard to concentrate with you like this." I looked down at my tightly wrapped towel that wasn't so tightly wrapped anymore.
"Well are you going to give me any clothes?" His eyes widened and he paused for a moment before he nodded. He pulled out a pair of sweats and a tank top.
"I'm going to change now," I told him. I turned around and pulled on the sweats then dropped the towel. The creamy clear skin of my back was totally exposed. I could practically hear his mouth drop open. I tugged the tank over my head and turned around. He still had a shocked expression on his face; I brushed passed him so I could go talk to Alexis.
"Hey! Kate, I was going to tell you that Kevin asked me to the Junior Prom but I want details! What were you doing? What happened?" I grinned.
"We kissed. I had just come out of the shower so I didn't have any clothes. I was about to push Rick down on his bed when you opened the door." She gaped at me.
"Wow," Lexi uttered.
Rick's POV
"She's so amazing!" I spoke quietly. I pinched myself, I wanted to make sure that I hadn't died and gone to heaven. When I saw Kate so easily just change right in front of me it was all I could do to control myself from just grabbing her and ravishing her. I was so surprised, I expected her to hit me, keep yelling or just storm out of the room. After I accounted for her lack of clothing, I couldn't help what spilled out of my mouth. Her eyes and her skin, oh so much of her wonderful skin. I needed to be with her. I wanted to see her face every day. Hold her hand. Hug and kiss her if I wanted to. I needed her more than I needed to breathe. I blinked and saw her under my eyelids. I wanted to run my fingers across her palm; I wanted to kiss the back of her hand. I stood and ran down the stairs. I knew that there was a depth to my emotion that went beyond teenage hormones.
"Kate," My voice was thick with emotion. She turned to me, looking beautiful as ever.
"Will you go on a date with me?" I asked before I realized what was coming out of my mouth. My eyes were wide as I waited for her answer.
"Yes," she whispered the word. It was barely audible but it made me ecstatic.
I took two powerful strides and looked into her eyes that shown like peridots. I paused, savoring the moment, before capturing her lips
YEAY! THE END!
