Ron heard her voice over the other end and froze. Of all people, he didn't expect a call from her. He looked over to his right where a photo of him and Kim stood at the prom. His heart sank a little. he had missed her a lot and this day he had with her was great but even if there was something there he had to ignore it right? Regardless he had to be honest with Kat that was for sure.
"I actually need to talk to you. Today I went out with an old girlfriend and well, we almost kissed." He said with a hand on his neck as he often did. For a good few moments there was utter silence on the opposite end. Clearly catching her off guard he was preparing for her anger, thinking that she would be that type to go off.
"oh..." Was all she said. He was shocked but something about it made him wonder did he just hurt her more? Or was there something more to her oh? Should he play it cool or take a chance? Maybe he could finally see the real hr.
"Does that bother you?" He asked hoping shed say yes showing that she gave a damn about him. Because regardless he did care about her. He didn't want to hurt her.
"Should it?" Her question didn't give him the response he hoped for. in fact it made him wonder if there was something else bothering her. She had acted so jealous with Bonnie but now...
"What's bothering you Kat?" He said lightly as he laid back onto his bed. for a moment there was complete silence. He wondered if she would answer.
"Have you ever lost someone that you loved?" Her question both shocked and amazed him, he didn't expect such a reaction. Especially not from her. He was very much surprised and wondered what it meant for him and her.
"Yes, The one I almost kissed tonight. I lost her back in our senor... She was my everything..." he answered honestly. he heard her sigh on the other end as he stared up at the sealing wondering if she wouldn't want to see him again.
"If you loved her that much then why did you let her go?" Her words took him off guard but sent his mind back to trying to get ahold of Kim and Her never returning his calls and her parents telling him that she didn't want to see him...Then the moment he had talked to Wade and realized she was going on missions without him.
"She didn't want me. She was my best friend, but when it came down to it; it became very clear that she didn't want me to go after her. She had everyone else basically tell me it was over, and wouldn't ever let me talk or defend myself. She just let me go, and just walked out of my life, as if it was nothing." Ron's words rang in Kim's ears. She thought back to that time. She never even really told him they were over. Just stopped communication, refused to see him. She became a shut in and didn't go anywhere they had gone. Worse she only went on missions to get rid of pent up rage which made all her foes retire.
"I'm sorry." Was her only reply. And after a few silent moments He sighed on his end.
"Who did you loose?" He asked her and her breath held for a second as she thought of him.
"A best friend. In a similar way. It changed me a lot... " Her words stopped attempting to not say too much. But part of her wanted to.
"What happened?" he asked her and She thought quickly of something to say. She couldn't say the truth, it would give her away.
"He pretended to be another guy after we broke up... made me fall in love again just with someone I thought was different, fooled me completely." Kim may have told him what she was doing to him but it was a lie that could keep her game going if she chose to keep playing. It was an easy answer and it could help her decide if she wants to actually Keep playing this game. not that she hadn't enjoyed it, but she did have to tell him the truth or Monique would, and it is better if she said it.
"That's crazy I could never forgive Kim if she had done that to me." Ron's answer was so quick it nearly Froze her. So basically if she had wanted to stop playing this game and forgive him, he couldn't forgive her? Kim bit her lip, now realizing that he was in a worse spot than ever.
"Why do you say that?" She said meekly. She did not like that answer one bit.
"Well come on, It's one thing top end things on a misunderstanding. But to get some sort of revenge by pretending to be someone else, creating a fake love, just to break someone's heart, that's just low. I fought villains, and I'm talking evil geniuses, who weren't that low and they wanted to enslave humanity most of the time." His words set her back She had a plan that was failing and weather she admitted it or not, after talking to her mom, she had wanted to forgive Ron. But seeing as how he would never forgive her... She didn't have a choice. She might as well see it all through at this point.
"True. So Wanna come see me tonight?" Kim said getting off the topic. If he came over they would have sex, and she could forget all about the ridiculous almost kiss as Kim. She could Kiss him and pretend these thoughts never happened. It's what she needed to do, right?
