I saw some flashes going off… were people really taking pictures of us kissing? We pulled away when the song ended and awkwardly looked in different directions. Everyone had stopped dancing and were all staring at us, even Beck, Jade, Tori, and Trina, who had been one of the many crashers. All of them had the same look of shock spread across their faces. It wasn't that shocking that me and André kissed. Was it?

"I'm sorry Cat…"

I looked over at André. He was looking down at his shuffling feet and looked somewhat ashamed of himself. He shouldn't be the least bit ashamed. It was a good kiss. More enjoyable than any of the ones I've had before. But I probably shouldn't tell him that.

"Why?"

André looked at me again. I was kind of scared; I didn't know if the kiss was some sort of evil plot or if it was something that had just kind of happened. Either way, André took me by my wrist and led me away from the staring crowd. Everyone watched as we walked away. I could feel all the eyes burning wholes through my shirt and through my back. I was used to getting stared at, but not like this. This was just weird.

André pulled me into a closet when nobody was looking. Shocking, right? We actually had a few seconds when everyone was looking at each other and mumbling about me and André instead of just looking at us. What a nice change of events.

"I'm sorry, Cat. I shouldn't have pulled that on you." André automatically said as he pulled the door closed.

"Sorry for what? What did you pull?"

He looked a little bit timid and a lot bit shocked.

"That… That kiss. It was a stupid thing to do in this state."

"This state? You mean California? What, is it illegal to kiss in California?"

André just stared at me with a confused look on his face. I think I might've just said something really stupid. Well, at least André was used to hearing me say random things, he would understand.

"No. No. I meant, after everything that's been going on in your life lately. I should have waited a little bit longer before I made a move on you…"

Oh… so he thinks I'm just too fragile to handle anything at this moment. Well I'm not André! I'm not! Maybe I should say that to his face instead of just thinking it.

"André," I said and laid a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok. I didn't mind. I actually…"

My thought was interrupted by the sound of something breaking outside. I flinched and went to open the door, but stopped myself. The crashing sound can wait. Or even better, Jade can handle it. I looked back at André to see him looking like he was anticipating something. I leaned back against the door and looked into André's eyes for the umpteenth time tonight.

"Actually? Actually what?"

"What? Oh… I actually kind of liked the kiss. It was nice."

I felt warmth rising in my cheeks. I think I might have been blushing. It's a good thing that this closet was a little bit dark, that way he couldn't tell if I was even purple. Ooh! That would be cool. Is it to late to be purple? Would I need to go to some sort of scientist to do that? I should look into that tomorrow.

"Really?"

André moved closer toward me until our bodies were touching again. he leaned in and kissed me again. not as hard as before, but just a simple peck. And with that, my purple thoughts flew straight out of my head.

"Yeah." I said kind of breathy "I th—"

The door was flung open and I stumbled back into a masculine body and had André's hands clutching my waist. The body and André caught me as I fell and helped me steady myself. I turned around to see Beck, Jade, and Tori standing in front of me and André who was now standing next to me. They all looked kind of worried and surprised at what had just happened in the living room. Jade most of all. What? It's not like I'm some sort of goody-two-shoes Virgin Mary and André isn't exactly a saint himself. No offense André, but it's true, you're not.

"What's going on?" Tori asked.

Was it really any of her business what we do in our spare time? Was it any of theirs? No. It's not. It's mine and André's. In fact, we could be robbing a bank right now and it wouldn't be any of Tori's or anybody else's business. I wouldn't even think about telling them what we were doing. You know why? Because, it's not their business. It's ours.

"N-nothing…"

Jade pulled me by my arm and Beck did the same with André. I looked at the clock that was hanging above the front door. It said that it was ten o'clock already. Wow. That was some really quick party.

"André, we have to go. I think your grandma is freaking out right now." Beck said, not letting go of André's arm.

"Why do you think that?"

"Well… 'Beck, I think someone killed André. He's not picking up his phone. I think they're after me too. Buffalo nuggets.' Yeah, that was from your grandmother." Beck read the text out loud.

"Buffalo nuggets?" I asked André.

"She… I don't know…" he looked at me and only me. "Guys, can you give us a minute alone please?"

Everybody nodded reluctantly and stepped outside for a few minutes. Me and André were left alone again. I liked being with André possibly more than I liked being with Jade. And we all know that I like being with Jade a lot. She was my protector kind of.

(AN I'm sorry that nothing eventful happened in this chapter. But I guess every story needs to have an uneventful chapter so something good can happen. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what that good thing is. Until then, enjoy!)
